I really liked how it took pieces from a lot of other Zeldas and glued them all together to make an incredibly unique entry in the series. I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s world-shattering or anything, but I definitely look forward to inevitable replays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zoochosis<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Half zookeeper simulator, half Cronenbergian body horror. I&#8217;ve technically &#8220;beaten&#8221; it twice because there is, to my knowledge, no actual fail state, just different endings based on how well you play and what secrets you find. Both of the endings I got were definitely <em>bad <\/em>endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Until Dawn (2024)<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; One of my favourite games of all time, completely rebuilt in a new engine with improved graphics and a few neat little additions. But the character animations haven&#8217;t improved as much as the visual fidelity, so the uncanny valley is much&#8230; deeper? Also, the controls are weirdly broken at times. Lots of room for improvement when it gets remade for PS6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Night on the Farm<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Fun little indie game about, well, spending a night on a farm. It&#8217;s abandoned, of course, and there&#8217;s more to it that meets the eye. Took about an hour to play, and I got 3 of the 5(?) endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silent Hill 2 (2024)<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Reached the hotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ys X: Nordics<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; Chapter 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TMNT: Mutants Unleashed<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; 20% completion<\/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>A Night on the Farm<\/strong> (Swtich)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Until Dawn (2024)<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zoochosis<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ys X: Nordics<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Visions of Mana (PS5) &#8211; Played some more to wrap up the post-game.
