Finished Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs. The last few bosses were pretty time taking, they had huge amount of health and took waaaaaaay too long to beat.

Other than that, the game was fun. Looking forward to next game from the devs, SacriFire a 2D-HD-ish JRPG inspired RPG. No release date yet though.

Started Cat Quest II. I loved the first Cat Quest, which I played ages ago, and with the 3rd one coming out this year, I think it's time to clear it. This can be played co-op too, but I am playing solo, which is still as fun as the first one.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Finished Ori and the Will of the Wisps!

Comments on the first game on this post from a couple weeks ago, and early impressions of the second game here.

Overall a big improvement on the first game and one I can more easily recommend to others.

However, I think the praise both games get is excessive. Don't get me wrong, they're good games with beautiful art, fantastic OST, really cool world and exploration. But IMO they also have some significant flaws including plenty of cheap deaths, frustrating platforming sequences with a lot a of trial-and-error, hard-to-see hitboxes, and subpar platforming controls on the first game.

Finished Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-

Same developer as Touhou Luna Nights, and I've enjoyed it almost as much. This one is a lot easier and beginner-friendly (maybe even to its detriment), but the smooth controls and exploration make so, so fun to play.

These two games definitely made me a fan of Team Ladybug, they have another game called "Drainus" which is now high in my wishlist, and I'll keep an eye for new releases from them.

It's nice to find devs who consistently make games that you like.

Added Record of Lodoss War to my wishlist.

I also like that they've been releasing their games physically on Japan but they are multi-language, I just ordered Drainus on Play-Asia.

They are a bit pricy for the game's short length, but I'm a physical game collector so I still prefer to get them that way.

Nice! I prefer digital, but nice to have the option for those who collect physical games.
