The House in Fata Morgana

Probably the best and most impactful pure visual novel I've ever played/read.

How was it? Ive never played Crash but I like platformers...worth a shot?

Yeah they're quite fun. I'd played all three of them at various times in the past but this was the first time I've gone through them from start to finish. The first one is the hardest and is a bit frustrating at parts but after that it smooths out a lot.

Hero Core

It's a short free metroidvania/bullet hell type game. Pretty fun.

And then Kirby's Blowout Blast

That secret path... :sweatdrop:

Actually today I got bored while commuting and went and got platinums on all the stages in the first three levels of Kirby so I will probably give it a shot as well.

I've now got platinums in every level of Blowout Blast except the Secret Path.

Tomorrow, the real challenge begins...

Hey! Pikmin

Despite my initial skepticism it ended up being quite fun. They came up with plenty of creative ideas for what you can do with the Pikmin in 2D.

Kirby's Blowout Blast Update:

Thank god that's finally over. It took way way way too many attempts. At last I can rest.



Oh I also beat Until Dawn the other day I guess.

The Sexy Brutale. Fantastic puzzle game about being stuck in a Majora's Mask style time loop. You have to figure out how to stop all the people in a mansion from getting murdered. I highly recommend it.

Wild Arms 2

Now that I've played all of the first 3 in the series it's cool to see the steady progression and improvement of game mechanics that led to the excellent Wild Arms 3

Infamous Second Son

It was pretty fun, though my favorite part by far was the weird ARG DLC Paper Trail thing. Not only did it have a bunch of enjoyable puzzles and stuff, but its story was also way better than the main game.

I also beat Hand of Fate quite some time ago but thought I might come back to it to do more optional stuff but I really don't think I am so I'll list it now.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

E: the credits rolled but it looks like there's more to do? I don't know. I'm pretty done with this one anyway.

Gonna leave Louie to die? That's ice cold. Seriously though you've seen less than half the game at this point.

I beat Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Very strange game but pretty fun. I didn't care for the optional challenges much but fortunately the rewards from them aren't at all necessary to beat the game.

Is the second part better? I was finding it was starting to get a bit repetitive near the end.

Hm well I don't think it's repetitive at all, I love the whole thing from start to finish. But if you really don't wanna do it all you at least owe it to yourself to check out the highlights:

Do the Submerged Castle cave if you haven't already, and then skip ahead to the fourth main level and do all the caves there. That way you'll have done all the hardest and most exciting content, as well as rescued Louie.

Personally I think the logs for treasures and enemies provides good motivation to do everything.
