As someone not into fighting games and only hearing lots of praise for Modern Controls in SF6, I can't help but feel like it's a love letter to the series when it's pulling in the 'smash the car' mini game from Final Fight too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQ3lqZORxE&t=273s

I only heard about the control style additions the other day, and it took the game from being completely off my list to one I'm gonna grab when it's a bit more on sale. It sounds like it has a good chance to get me into it, when I've mostly failed at getting into fighting games over the years.

Heh, Destiny Connect does not give a single gently caress. "Sure child version of my father who if he is removed from the 1970s may endanger my entire existence, you can come and join our jaunt through time where our machine keeps breaking in the worst possible places! What could possibly go wrong!" Also there's some pretty boss lines like when Isaac the time machine robot finally unlocks the ability to change forms in battle, the boss is like "Pfft, you've only changed your outfit, nothing's really different." and Isaac's just like "Test that Hypothesis."

Remnant II: One of the starting class choices has a dog. You can stand in front of it and there will be a prompt to pet it. Counterpoint I will never be playing any other class because they do not have dogs to pet.

Yet you take the dog with you on the battlefield so clearly you are not a very responsible dog owner. You also abandon it when you take an elevator and in the few seconds it takes to teleport to your position again, a heart is broken. Basically, how do you live with yourself?!

Far Cry 6: I really like that the player character sings along with the car music player. Also that they don't make you pat down the bodies for loot and just do autopickup.

Pikmin 4 made it so if you whistle and it hits nearby Pikmin who're already doing a task, they will now only briefly pause instead of drop what they're doing and come running (A second whistle blast will make them come running). It's so useful for rounding up strays in a crowded area.

In Total War: Warhammer 2 one of the diplomatic crises you can run into is that Balthasar Gelt, who is basically fantasy Doctor Doom with the metal face mask, the ego, and tendency to bellow about his superior intellect and all, is upset you missed his literal Sausage Festival.

You're not Reed Richards, Doctor Doom bears no grudge against you and wants you to sample his many cured meats! Gelt isn't like Doctor Doom, as far as I know he doesn't have Geltbots running around. As far as I know.

I like that Destiny Connect shows a serious downside to using time travel to save someone - first of all he can never let his guard down because what if something else kills her later, but also because he spent 15 years of his life working on a time machine, in the timeline in which he did save her the memories didn't snap into place when he returned to it (and he replaced the version of himself that lived through it), so he's existing in a timeline in which they've had an entire life together and he's completely missed it. That's a cool take on things.

In Grime you play as a hosed up rock monster with a black hole for a head, and your first main verb is "absorb" which acts as a parry. If an enemy attacks you, and their health bar is in the red (instead of the greyish-red) you can use the parry to
You don't get a weapon to start, and enemies will "attack" by gently nudging you, so you can learn the timing. Enemies will also have red, unabsorbable attacks that you have to dodge, which uses the same stamina you use to attack. It highly incentivises you to learn and use the parry ability and avoid spamming attacks, because holy poo poo does it work better than attacking. I went from dying repeatedly to a boss, to getting no-hit by the boss, because anything not-red can be parried. Anything. Projectiles, glancing attacks, regular attack swings, as long as it isn't a red attack, it can be parried. And these parries deal really good damage to bosses, too. My normal swings can do about 30-40 damage while parrying a projectile attack will automatically gather any nearby projectiles from the same attack and toss it back at the boss to do ~180 damage.

I love the parts in the story in San Fran where towards the back half the characters in the car with the drivers that you possess realise what's going on and start talking to tanner instead of their brother/friend. It's such a cool touch

Just getting started with Baldur's Gate 3, and already found a really nice quality of life feature: If you're about to roll a check and have a spell that would help you with it (e.g. you're trying to persuade somebody in a conversation and know the Charm Person spell), the game offers you a button to immediately activate it right there before rolling. That way those spells get much more use, since you don't have to manually put them on yourself all the time just in case they might come in handy.

I like the unique ways characters power up in Shadow Hearts: From the New world, from Frank the Ninja just sticking a hilt into anything he likes the look of to turn it into a sword, to the native american dude capturing cryptids and stealing power from them. It's kind of fun.
