Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Extremely good, it manages to be a really good turn-based JRPG while still perfectly capturing the feeling of the Yakuza series. Ichiban was a cool protagonist, I like that at his core he has all the qualities that make Kiryu a good hero but is otherwise like a complete 180 from Kiryu in personality. The rest of the cast was also great, especially the core team of Saeko, Adachi, and Nanba, I can’t wait to see what the four of them get up to next.

There’s a few things that don’t quite come together, after a strong start the story feels kind of aimless for a long time and there are some mechanical issues that I chalk up to the team taking on a whole new, radically-different genre for the first time, but nothing that significantly drags the game down. Looking forward to whatever’s next for the series.

I did like 99% of this game in 2020, but I only just booted it back up to get the credits roll so I could uninstall it.

1. No More Heroes (Mild, True Ending, All T-Shirts)
3. Abe's Oddysee New n' Tasty (Hard Mode all 299 Mudokons saved): I had this as a kid and started it so many times but could never beat it, it was so hard. To be honest i proabably wouldn't have beaten it this time if they hadn't added Quicksave and load. They had that in Abe's Exxodus though so clearly they realised even back then the original should have had it. Mostly i found it tonnes of fun but the game doesn't control super precisely so it was at it's best when the rooms were just focused on figuring out the puzzles rather than both that and really tight platforming that it wasn't really equipped for. There was also a handful of areas where the timing of a few things seemed broken and i wish they'd tuned those parts of it. Not sure if they were an issue in the original. There were some rooms I thought were total BS then when i figured out the best order to do things they were easily reproducible. The end game also got too fond of soft locking you out of saving Mudokons for arbitrary reasons. In the final level theres two separate puzzles rooms but if you do the first one first you make it impossible to do the second due to a very absurd reason lol. Despite all this i liked it a lot and might even do the speedrun at some point.

What platform did you play Oddworld on? I beat it on PS4 years ago, and then I double dipped on switch and hit what I believe is a game breaking bug.

I beat the main story of Rune Factory 4S a few days ago. Pretty fun little Harvest Moon style game, the twist being that it’s set in a fantasy world with elves and dwarves and monsters, etc, and there’s a big overworld and dungeons to explore and you can tame monsters in them and stuff. The cast of characters is weird and likable, the story itself wasn’t anything particularly special but had some good feels moments, the game has a really goofy sense of humor that’s lame but endearing somehow, and the basic gameplay loop was fun and addicting, I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Harvest Moon style games.

I was holding out to do a few optional things like getting married and having a kid before adding it to the list but that stuff’s locked behind waiting for events to happen that are triggered at absolute random and even after several real-life days of doing nothing but the absolute minimum to tend my farm and then running around talking to everyone to trigger events I still can’t get the right ones. So gently caress it, I beat the main story, got a little trophy in my house for beating the game, it’s going on the list. I hope 5 has more actual triggers and less RNG, I’ll probably keep at it for a few more days before switching to the Friends of Mineral Town remake for my farming fix.

PS4. What bug brother? And by soft locks I mean they lock you out of rescuing all mudokons rather than stopping you proceeding! So probably a misuse by me

Please report back on the remake, I played it to death on GBA and have spent considerable time on the ps1 version as well, but something made me hold off with this version. Probably just nostalgia for the other visual styles. The N64 visuals with the Mineral Town setup was just too perfect to me.

I’ve actually never played the original, I didn’t really get into this genre until Stardew Valley (I’d kind of tried the original 3DS version of RF4 and Story of Seasons first but didn’t end up putting too much time into them). I’ll definitely share my thoughts on it as it’s own game but I won’t be able to compare to the original

It’s in Paramonia (the outdoor part). There’s a part where you are with Elum, and you need to throw a rock at a mine to kill a slig and go up an elevator. No matter how I hit the rock on the mine, it does not explode. I know I am doing it right because I have done it on PS4 in the past, and even have a stream archive of it.

I tried tweeting them about it but they didn’t’ respond. I also reloaded to do Scrabania first and came back to see if it fixed itself, no luck. Really pissed me off because I love the game and, uh, paid for it

I loved RF4 on 3ds and had a good 150 hour or so save by the end. Cozy gaming. Hopefully 5 is good

A pretty good townbuilder game, the endgame upgrades relied a lot on drops that were more or less completely random, but it's a chill game regardless.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
1. Nier Automata (A, B, C, D, E, G, M, O)
2. Rusty Lake Hotel

I guess this counts. bought it on a steam sale not knowing what it was. it's an escape room game. takes maybe an hour.
going in blind was kinda fun though. it's a bit like The Static Speaks My Name in that it doesn't give you a lot of context or tell you who the protagonist is or what they're doing but you can tell there's something off

I'm not sure when I count this as properly finished, but I've completed all the missions at least once and finished the story so I guess it counts. I'm not done with it by a long way.

Even better, as far as I'm concerned. You'll see it even clearer for what it is instead of comparing it to older versions.
