The problem with Pyranha Bytes is that you arrive in the first town, get your "hello random pleb, please go save my brother from bad guys" quest, and it takes about 6 hours of scraping together levels until you can actually do it.

Either it leads to a really intense, exciting fight like Sandwich Anarchist said, or it’s pretty funny to watch your character suddenly get swatted like a fly. I really like the Xenoblade series for this. Pokemon Sword and Shield have some randomly overpowered Pokemon wandering around too. Makes things more interesting

I have good memories of doing something like this in Xenoblade Chronicles X. The was a potential warp point off to the side of one area, but it was across a couple stone arches guarded by enemies like 20 levels higher than me. I ate poo poo like a half dozen times trying to sneak around them, but eventually I was able to jump past one sleeping on the edge of the arch and make a break for my goal. Hell, one of the five continents is pretty much built on that. Huge numbers of really high level enemies, typically giant ones who could kill you with an errant step, typically disguised as environmental bits, meant to be taken on only towards the very end of the game. You could take them on if you wanted, or more likely if you were careless with AoEs. It would very quickly make you very cautious about what you were doing when the big level 70 robot was floating around when you were sneaking around at level 25.

Been playing RE 2 Remake since it was on sale and we're all inside forever, and I really love Tyrant's footsteps. A good set of headphones means I can hear precisely where he is in the building, to the point of thinking "alright, he's upstairs somewhere in the hallway outside of the STARS office" when I'm coming out of the 1st floor save room.

Landing on Sylvalum for the first time is genuinely one of my top 10 "wow" moments in video games, right next to finishing the Elite Four in Pokemon Gold and then realising you get to explore all of Kanto next

I got around to beating Flintstones: Rescue of Dino and Hoppy on the nes yesterday and loved how the final boss was presented. Every time you beat one of his escalating weapons, he gets out of it more injured than the last one. The first one, just a gun, leaves him with a black eye, then when you take out the small walking vehicle he's limping away on crutches with a broken leg, and after taking down the final tank he can barely crawl offscreen. It's a very funny series of animations.

Generally I think that's the best approach to any RPG-ish game with levels. The difficult part is making sure there's multiple things to do at a given level so you don't feel totally boxed in (though it does help that if, through skilled enough play, you can punch above your weight.) ---- So I picked up Hyrule Warriors: The Definitive Edition- I had the Wii U version but this has a lot more stuff, everything and every bit of DLC from both the Wii U and 3DS releases, etc. I knew about Linkle, the girl Link who raises cuccos and has no sense of direction (and is also one of the best and most OP characters in the game), but what I didn't realize was *she has story missions.* And it's adorable. Basically she always grew up knowing she'd be the hero of destiny, she has a magic compass she inherited from her grandmother, and when she hears Hyrule is in trouble she sets off for the castle and instantly gets lost, instead wandering into different battles but always being brave and helpful. She will, when you're not playing her, frequently sing the "got item" music.

I've started trying again at Yoshi's Wooly world because I never got more than a couple of worlds into it because I got stuck at the level where you have to collect 4 keys, and just realised that the living knots that you need to follow until they attach to a piece of environment so that you can unravel it are a pun. They fly like a butterfly. They are Butterfly Knots

Ori 2 is really good with a lot of neat small details, but my favorite is that there's this guy you can donate items to to help rebuild stuff, and when you do so instead of standing around watching him work you can see ori helping him out and that's really cute.

This game doesn't need balance, it's about becoming a god of battle.)

The best thing about Linkle is that the game initially frames it as "ohohoh, she's so silly and lost" but you eventually realize that her compass is in fact guiding her to exactly where a hero is needed at the time. It is just that most of those places are not Hyrule Castle until she shows up to literally save the day at the end.

Yeah, at first I thought her campaign was a pretty mean-spirited jab at the female Link hype at the time (the "of course she's not the REAL hero  " at the beginning seemed like it was talking directly to the fans), then it clicked

It only needed a few things personally. It has a couple characters I don't really like to play as and I wish enemy characters (Like if you're fighting Midna and get a material drop from her) would drop a few of their things instead of only 1 at a time.

It's actually taking her around the continent doing side quests so she won't be horribly underleveled for the final battle.

I like that the Surge 2 does a run down of how long it took you to beat the game, how much you died, damage taken, damage healed, etc versus the global average and then provides sub breakouts by zone and by boss. It turns out Im worse at bosses than the average person but still had half the deaths and beat the game in 14 less hours despite doing all sidequests.
