Ys Seven<\/strong> (PC) – I wrote about<\/a> how I was struggling a bit near the halfway point, but the difficulty of Nightmare mode kind of cleared up after that. At least until the final bosses, which required a heck of a lot of grinding to beat. Still a very good game, just not one you should play on the hardest difficulty setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Room<\/strong> (PC) – Having no relation to the infamous movie of the same name, this is a game about solving a series of puzzle boxes. It was a lot of fun, though the puzzles were maybe a little bit on the easy side. Took less than two hours to complete all five chapters, and I look forward to playing the sequels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Outer Wilds<\/strong> (PS4) – What a game! I can’t believe that I was completely disinterested in it until very recently. It’s a little like Subnautica<\/a>, being an adventure\/puzzle game in an open world, and leaves it up to the player to figure out what to do. Only instead of underwater, Outer Wilds takes place in space<\/em>! And also it’s way less buggy. And there’s no crafting. Maybe it’s not really that much like Subnautica after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach<\/strong> (PS5) – Whoof. I have so many thoughts about this one. It’s an open-world(ish) adventure game where stealth is the main gameplay, but also has a good number of mini-games to keep things fresh. Sadly, it is riddled with bugs and performance issues. But I did quite like it! I’ll just like it more once the patches start rolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maize<\/strong> (PC) – An adventure game set on a farm, where you are tasked with discovering the secrets of the sentient corn. Short and maybe a little too easy, but charming as heck and genuinely funny. Vladdy is the GOAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) – And with that, I have completed every main Legend of Zelda game in 2021. And also Four Swords Adventures. Good for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trash Quest<\/strong> (Switch) – Mini-metroidvania about a raccoon loose in a starship. 100%ed the main game in almost exactly an hour, and then attempted the super-hard DLC for ten minutes. It requires sequential pixel-perfect inputs, and I ain’t playin’ that noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pok\u00e9mon Shining Pearl<\/strong> (Switch) – It’s a good remake, adding some nice new features and QOL upgrades, but Sinnoh is still the most boring region in Pok\u00e9mon by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hitman 2 (2018)<\/strong> (PS4) – Grinding out challenges in Paris & Sapienza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> (PC) – Found a dead lady in cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kathy Rain: the Director’s Cut<\/strong> (PC) – Day 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ~ Game Over ~ Ys Seven (PC) – I wrote about how I was struggling a bit near the halfway point, but the difficulty of Nightmare mode kind of cleared up after that.
