Beat pokemon let's go eevee

It's fine. Felt like putting myself in a pokemon mood before D/P release and remembered I stopped Lets Go at 6 badges so I picked it back up. Mostly played in handheld so that I could stuck to buttons

Might do the pokedex since it's so small

Beat Greedfall. Went in with low expectations, but ended up really engrossed by the end. It felt like a much better Dragon Age: Inquisition

Final Fantasy II: Pixel Remaster

They made this a billion times easier than the NES version so you don't have to do the horseshit weirdo levelling stuff to make progress. The final dungeon still has a bunch of monsters that instakill you when their hits land, though, which sucks.

i think the pixel remasters are probably the best versions of 2 and 3. they leave in the weirdness of the NES games but quietly make enough subtle changes to make them actually playable.

breaking 2 is easier on the old mobile port but pixel remaster is probably a better game overall, it is very annoying that there is no instakill protection from the coeurls

the pixel remaster of 3 made it one of my top games in the whole series though

One of the sickest games ever. I didn't understand medals as a kid so it feels good to do this for the first time ever. Plus the stupid as balls multiplayer mode that unlocks when you get the expert medals is hoip esp. with being able to play online with switch. goty

I wish more games had tried CotM's extra modes. I've always thought the Dark Souls games could get a bunch of replayability by unlocking weird gimmick class/modes on subsequent playthroughs.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
In my Metroidvania quest I beat Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on Hard on a fresh playthrough.

I think you're supposed to play through Hard on NG+ because at the start it's downright brutal. It gets easier over time with some peaks like the second Zangetsu fight where he gets an attack that outright kills you in one shot unless you counter it in a specific way using a Shard you might or might not have or by running the gently caress away which is much harder said than done because it's a black hole. I probably won't be attempting Nightmare difficulty.

Great game. Didn't 100% yet but I might get back into it at some point. For now I started a randomizer run for fun.

Gotta decide which Metroidvania to play next now.

i assume you've already played all the good metroids, and hollow knight?

shantae and the seven sirens is a pretty decent one. uhhhh steam world dig 2 probably qualifies as one. momodora 3......

uh, bunny must die?? that one's.... got a lot going on. and a second play through with a completely different character.

Yeah, I played the Metroids (except for the 3DS Metroid 2 remake) and Hollow Knight (Which is one of the best Metroidvanias of all time)
I got a few of the Momodora and Shantae games and they're on my list of games I wanna play too.
So far I played:

Super Metroid (I don't even know, I played this so many times)
Hollow Knight (second playthrough)
AM2R (first playthrough)
Metroid Dread (first playthrough)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (first playthrough)
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (second playthrough)
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (second playthrough, 100% for some reason)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Second Playthrough, Hard Mode)

If my old DS wasn't broken I'd play the DS Castlevanias too. I could emulate them but for now I think I'm fine with something that's not a Castlevania or similar game just to mix it up a little. I got plenty in my Steam library. Maybe I'll give Environmental Station Alpha another shot. Bounced off of that previously.

huh i heard this game's name a hundred times but i never knew it's a m'ania. i gotta check that out.

oh i forgot to mention Yoku's Island Express before. highly recommend this one.

also, realized the momodora i played is Reverie Under the Moonlight, which is not the same as 3. i heard 1-3 are good but i can't vouch for em since i haven't played em.

do you have any favorites i may not have played? ive played most of the castles and the troids and the ories, plus all the ones already mentioned. edit: i guess you already listed everything but hey just in case.
