It&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=11377\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11377\">just so damned good<\/a>. But, I finally resolved to pick it back up and actually finish it, and I&#8217;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&#8217;s Drafts. I never looked up any game-breaking character builds, and I was getting thoroughly ruined before I gave in to easy (well, <em>easier<\/em>) mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Hungry Fly<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Well this was an experience. You buzz around as a fly, looking for things to eat. Those things are&#8230; not what you&#8217;d expect, in most cases. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=11444\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11444\">Many words coming soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resident Evil 3<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; I&#8217;ve been craving some remade RE lately, and somehow this is the one I landed on.
