Ah, it’s a new year again. Seems like these keep coming around at fairly regular intervals. How odd…
~ Game Over ~
Mega Man X (SNES) – The most important tradition, is that this is the first video game I play every year. Though I’ve written about it so many times now that there’s nothing left to say. I didn’t even attempt a PB this time around, as one try a year isn’t nearly enough practice for speedrunning.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5) – It’s wild to me that somehow I dropped this game before beating it last year. It’s just so damned good. But, I finally resolved to pick it back up and actually finish it, and I’m glad I did. Just getting back into the world for a while (a long-ass while, since I did all the optional stuff too) was worth the time. Though I did end up kicking the difficulty down to Story while working my way through Verso’s Drafts. I never looked up any game-breaking character builds, and I was getting thoroughly ruined before I gave in to easy (well, easier) mode.
The Hungry Fly (PC) – Well this was an experience. You buzz around as a fly, looking for things to eat. Those things are… not what you’d expect, in most cases. It’s a very surreal kind of game, and I have no idea what, if anything, it was trying to say. Sadly, not engaging enough for me to have kept playing for all three endings.
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails (Switch) – Many words coming soon.
Resident Evil 3 (PS5) – I’ve been craving some remade RE lately, and somehow this is the one I landed on. I quite enjoyed returning to it, but forgot that it’s actually quite hard. I died a great many times, and I’ll likely never get good at dodging. Still, had enough fun that I’m already halfway through another playthrough. THIS TIME I’ll get all the trophies!
~ Progress Notes ~
