It&#8217;s actually respectably long! And still a lot of fun!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uncanny Valley<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; A neat indie horror adventure, which I<a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=7412\"> played to the least satisfying ending<\/a> and then couldn&#8217;t make more time for because of my obsession with Monster Hunter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RiME<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; I was having a great time up until chapter 2. Then I was having an adequate time up until chapter 5. Then I just sat there and quietly wept for 20 minutes.

Although it is\u00a0much bleaker than CT, both narratively and visually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; I bought the LSL IndieGala bundle for the classic adventure games, but decided to give this one a spin first. <em>Garbage<\/em>. Absolute garbage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Uranium<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; A rather impressive fan game, which is undermined by the fact that it has some serious performance issues on my PC even with all the settings turned down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; I would have finished this long ago if not for my wasting hours upon hours trying to get the\u00a0Festival Plaza store that will allow me to dye my clothes purple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; I miss the simpler days, when I considered this to be the best Zelda. It&#8217;s still up there, but perhaps over-familiarity has dulled the spark.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Onechanbara Z2: Chaos<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; I&#8217;ve only played for like 20 minutes, but it&#8217;s feeling a lot more janky than I&#8217;d expected. Which is dumb of me. I know perfectly well how these games are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part-Time UFO<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; A glorified crane game, but HAL&#8217;s thick coating of charm makes this maybe my favourite phone game ever. Also, has a cameo by Qbby. &lt;3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bayonetta<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I remember playing the demo on Xbox 360 and not being wowed. But then my brother convinced me to give it a try and so I paid my $40 and <em>WOWEE THIS IS GOOD<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Piczle Lines DX<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I have developed a habit of picking away at the billions of puzzles while watching Trailer Park Boys.
