6. Psychonauts 2

I liked parts of it but man it felt like there were cutscenes every couple of minutes, it was so hard to get any momentum going. It's been a long time since I played the first one, but I don't think this quite holds up - I don't feel like any of the worlds were as memorable as the best parts of Psychonauts 1, except maybe the cooking show section. The amount of cutscenes really got under my skin by the end.

I guess I also finished 12 Minutes although I'm not sure I got the "best" ending. I had a better reaction to it than I've seen from some people, although I agree the ending was kind of stupid it didn't really take away from the rest of it for me.

I'm going to run out of things to do before I get bored at this rate. What a game.

this was me , i ended up going for all the in-game goals (prophecies + the 32? heat statue). that was fun. THEN i went for buying everything in the shop thing which required doing a bunch of runs aiming to buy diamonds and stuff. that wasn't hard, just an excuse to do a bunch of more relaxed runs and screw around.

i tried to get a high heat on all the weapons but it was too hard. my 32 win was a really lucky run with the gun iirc. aspect where you reload before every shot and do a million damage.

then i tried to do speedruns for in game time for like a week and got some mediocre results and then i was finally sated. that was 6 months ago and i haven't played since. maybe i'll play it again in a few years.

Forgot that I still need lots of diamonds, no doubt Charon will stop stocking them now that I've maxed out all the aspects I care about and am almost done with ambrosia.

I'm still pretty low heat wise, highest clear is 10 with the rail and I think next closest is 6? Lot to do now that I think about it, find the last few stubborn legendaries/duos/hammers, max all trinkets, rob Charon (I don't think I've seen his stash once...), get the last two companions - plenty of game left.

I got 32 on claw and gun but drove myself insane and miserable trying for the others before dropping it.

Lost interest in speedruns once I realized the number one factor would be how many Styx tunnels I got.

Eventually every well runs dry but it's an insane amount of fantastically fun game before you get there.

Speaking of I finally beat Slay the Spire A20 with all chars, not sure if I can list it as beaten without heart kills though.

Train Station Renovation, only 15-16 hours to 100% every station it’s a nice little time-waster.

In your office hub between jobs there’s a big model train set and you unlock models and parts through completing the campaign stations and it looks really neat, but there’s a bug where no matter what the model derails on the second turn and there’s nothing you can do about it. Pretty cruel


e: on the PS version anyway, might be fixed on PC

The only thing that kept me from 100% completing Hades was the Hades boss fight itself. It just got so boring and repetitive at some point, I'd just restart the run instead of finishing it. I don't know the solution to that problem but having a different final boss would be nice.

Played it obsessively for like 2 months and never touched it again lol

Bosses all have a hard mode if you take the Extreme Measures heat option. EM Hades is worth doing at least once.

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster

By far the easiest version of this game but nobody's playing this one expecting a challenge so who cares. I wish all versions had infinite arrows, Rosa and Rydia doing max damage on half the monsters in lunar subterrane was a blast.

do you have any handle on what they changed?

definitely agree it's the easiest (non Eastytype) version, but i couldn't put my finger on why i was doing so well. i thought i might have been over-leveling to fill out the bestiary for awhile, but it got easy before i started doing that.

The fixed ATB system seems to be pretty unbalanced in the player's favor, my front line guys were routinely getting in two rounds before the enemy's first for the whole back half of the game. Also I probably fought more than usual thanks to autobattle and the game was always easy enough (3D version aside) that even a little bit of grinding is overkill. Only pain points were Zot (1 healing staff user is extremely not enough by this point) and Sylvan Cave (ugh, menus).

I'm pretty sure they tweaked the drop rates too (got pink tail + all summons without having to refill sirens), but with absolutely nothing useful available pre-moon this didn't matter.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Sadly this has not aged well, mostly due to the castle's layout being very hostile to any traversal options you might receive - all of the rooms are S-shaped and jam-packed with monsters, and the teleports are all in very inconvenient places. I did get all the bat lady drops and the two trick candle cards but refused to bother with the arena so shamefully finished with 14/16 DSS.

you must have gotten lucky. i got the pink tail on siren 99 (which is all you can have, without glitching your way into the tower - you can't refill them in the new version).
