It&#8217;s a short, story-based game about a sad man and it&#8217;s actually pretty touching. Will play again, making different choices along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mega Man X DiVE Offline<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Cleared the story on Challenge mode and earned all of the achievements. There&#8217;s still plenty more to do, but I&#8217;ve had my fill (for now).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dread X Collection II <\/strong>(PC) &#8211; A pretty solid collection of 12 short horror games. There are a couple stinkers, but overall I thought it was very good. If you want more in-depth thoughts&#8230; There&#8217;s a let&#8217;s play series coming to my YouTube channel soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I really liked this as a character study of Zack. He&#8217;s an idiot, but a charming, heroic idiot. Seeing his relationships with Cloud and Aerith really added a lot of flavour to the FF7 lore. However, the gameplay wasn&#8217;t the most rewarding and got very repetitive very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Omori<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Played for over 3 hours and still in the prologue!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Returnal<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Third world<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man: Miles Morales<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; Stopped Rhino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Purchases ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Omori<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Death Must Die<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion<\/strong> (Switch)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storm Boy <\/strong>(PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man: Miles Morales<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Firewatch<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Mega Man X (SNES) &#8211; The traditional first game of the year.
