Oh boy, it looks as if there&#8217;s much more to this than it first seemed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agatha Knife<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I thought there was going to be a stronger element of horror than there actually was. Turned out to be mostly comedic in tone. Still a fun adventure game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horizon: Zero Dawn<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Even though <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=7600\">I liked it overall<\/a>, I&#8217;m mostly just glad that it&#8217;s over. Could have used a lot more dinosaur-based robots. Too many modern herbivores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beyond: Two Souls<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=7647\">Story-based game about a girl and her ghost pal<\/a>. Fairly boring\u00a0and a real struggle to get through. The &#8220;Homeless&#8221; and &#8220;Navajo&#8221; chapters were pretty good, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MGSV: Ground Zeroes<\/strong> (360) &#8211; Played through again for a better rank, and was awarded an A. Then I did it again and again\u00a0in a vain attempt to get an\u00a0S rank. Didn&#8217;t happen \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mega Man 4<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I bought both Mega Man Legacy Collections on Switch and this was <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=3126\">naturally<\/a> my starting point. Playing it without the slowdown or sprite flicker is a\u00a0revelation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mega Man 10<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m less familiar with it than the original sexology, but I&#8217;m not digging this as much as I did when it was new.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ridge Racer V<\/strong> (PS2) &#8211; Initially played just to experience the &#8220;Jogcon&#8221; controller, I actually started getting into it once I flipped back to a regular control style. Who would have guessed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Death Road to Canada<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Finally on Switch! Though I can totally see this ruining my chances of making any meaningful progress in\u00a0<del>life<\/del>\u00a0other video games or hobbies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Speaking of ruining the potential for making meaningful progress in anything else&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tales of Berseria<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; TBH, it&#8217;s not gripping me the way I hoped it would. More like Tales of the Abyss than Tales of Symphonia, unfortunately. Ah well. I&#8217;ll keep pluggin&#8217; away at it for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sine Mora EX<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Played the first couple chapters. The time-slow mechanic is cool, but you <em>need<\/em> it to survive certain enemy bullet patterns, which bothers me a bit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Quest<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Freemium game about loot grinding. Not much of a game, though. Just set your &#8216;mons free and hope they survive. But hey, it&#8217;s Pok\u00e9mon, so I&#8217;ll play it for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only two more weeks, and then I can go back to not feeling bad that I&#8217;m spending far less time studying than I should be. ~ Game Over ~ MGSV: Ground Zeroes (PC) &#8211; Completed the mission and&#8230; that&#8217;s only seven percent of the game!?
