So for every 5 minutes of gameplay, there&#8217;s 20 minutes of dialogue. Still liked it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles 2<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I purposely waited until 2018 to finish it so I didn&#8217;t have to reorganize my &#8220;best games beaten in 2017&#8221; list. It would have been much too hard to place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhythm Thief and the Emperor&#8217;s Treasure<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=6231\">Dug this up<\/a> to beat it so that I could delete it to make room on my SD card. It&#8217;s actually an <em>excellent<\/em> game. Reminds me of Space Channel 5.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Pumpkin Adventure<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; A highly surreal point-and-click adventure about helping a pumpkin-headed man with amnesia to remember who he is and why he&#8217;s an amnesiac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monster Hunter World<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Tore through the story quests, because the game doesn&#8217;t really begin until you gain access to the High Rank quests. Loving it, but longing for portability.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 7<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Booted &#8216;er up for the first time in a long while to dive into all the DLC from the season pass that I bought with the game last year and subsequently ignored.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; The adventure continues, at a rate of about half an hour a week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yooka-Laylee<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I don&#8217;t know how the game was when it initially launched, but I think that the current version is generally a very\u00a0good homage to Banjo-Kazooie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volgarr the Viking<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Almost beat world 2, but man, the boss is <em>really<\/em> tough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horizon: Zero Dawn<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; After a painfully slow start, it&#8217;s definitely getting its hooks into me. Except when I had to kill a bunch of people with a chain gun. That was really dumb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Milkmaid of the Milky Way<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; Retro-style adventure game about a rancher who must&#8230; rescue her cows from aliens? Fun, but the rhyming text often feels forced and gets annoying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Mario RPG<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; Played via emulator, which caused the game to crash quite often.
