Monthend Video Game Wrap-Up – February 2017

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to do these introductory blurbs for the Monthend posts. I guess they’re more traditional than anything at this point.

Anyway, thank Zeus that February is finally over. Two more days to Switch!

~ Game Over ~

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS4) – This may be my new jam. Like back in the day when I got really into Silent Hill and then Resident Evil DS, and beat them like a hundred times each. That’s what’s happening here. I’ve beaten it three times now. Currently working on hard mode and DLC.

Drakengard 3 (PS3) – Cleared branches A, B, and C. Played some of the DLC chapters, and got stuck on the intensely hard final boss of branch D.

Citadale (WiiU) – A slightly above-par Castlevania clone that is packed with just enough little annoyances that it comes out looking shoddier than it should. I intend to review it in full.

The Perplexing Orb (WiiU) – Booted it up because I thought it would be good for this article, but then I ended up really enjoying it. Kind of a cheap Monkey Ball wannabe.

Ninja Senki DX (PS4) – Free PS+ game. Lured me in by looking like a Game Boy Color game, but I only got to level 4 before I said “Eff it, I hate this” and deleted it.

~ Now Playing ~

Rhythm Heaven Megamix (3DS) – I kind of hate how Rhythm Heaven games expect absolute perfection from players, but they’re so fun and charming that I can’t help but keep coming back.

Dragon Quest VII (3DS) – I tried real hard to beat it, but the combination of being way too friggin’ long and one hell of a brickwall boss slowed me down too much to be able to finish ‘er off.

Fire Emblem Heroes (iOS) – It’s Fire Emblem but bite-sized and crammed with all the things I hate about phone games. My interest has died off as of chapter four, even though it’s pretty okay.

Stardew Valley (PC) – It invades my dreams at night, but I’ve managed to abstain from getting my own copy. Because I intend to buy it on Switch, you see. Then I can play it everywhere, forever.

Glittermitten Grove (PC) – A cute little resource-management game wherein you help a colony of fairies build and maintain their home. Apparently it’s hiding a substantial secret…

Harvest Moon 3D (3DS) – This game continues to drag. All the farmer’s animations are so long and slow. Especially once you’re used to the snappy pace of Stardew Valley.
