Oh hey the "premium single player rpg" that the Arknights devs were working on released at the end of last month
https://exa.gryphline.com/en-us#homepage


It looks like the rare case of an actually non-user-hostile mobile game? with no gacha, no ads, no microtransactions, no fomo dailies. I hope it's fun. I dug the design and artstyle of Arknights but couldn't hang with its GaaSier elements.

I wonder if it'll actually make money on par with the business-as-usual mobile stuff or if it's just a prestige project.

Weirdly the devs of Girls Frontline (another gacha game) have a premium buy-to-play game coming up in the next two and a half weeks too. I hope it's a trend.

I haven't gotten too much time into Ex Astris but I will say that at the very least, it's pretty. Gameplay's very much Paper Mario but with added button mashing phases and some stuff to encourage doing certain skills in certain orders. The writing and translation, on the other hand, is not so great IMO. Very much a "throw you into the anime jargon deep end" sort of game in regards to its plot. The translation is reasonably accurate but very stiff as well. Voice acting is fine, I'm playing with the Chinese voice track, about what I expect from hearing CN VA from other games.

I used to play Girls Frontline a very long time ago so I'm pretty interested in Reverse Collapse. These two alongside Granblue Relink is making me hopeful that gacha game devs will take the leap into developing standard games a lot more often.

I played 1-6 (via the Ace Attorney Trilogy and Apollo Justice Trilogy on Steam) for the first time this year and they're of varying quality but if you're a fan of the game style they're all worth playing with some caveats.

Music: 1-3 are excellent, among the best video game music of all time. 4 and 6 are serviceable with some standouts. 5 is completely unremarkable to the point you might not even notice it.
Story: 1 is great, 2 is alright, 3 is better. 4 is pretty drat good, 5 is mediocre, 6 is good. If I had to rate them: 1>3>4>6>2>5
Visuals: 1-3 are 2d, and are all top notch. 4 moved partially to 3D but is still pretty. 5 is weird, by far my least favorite looks-wise, and 6 is pretty good looking again despite being almost the same as 5, there's just something that was missing/off in 5.

I don't know what happened with 5 but it's by far the worst in all regards, it's like they outsourced it to someone else.

5 had Blackquill which automatically makes it top tier in my books. Guy's a hoot.

Bahamut was my personal fav of the lot but the little Sonic run segment of Titan was probably one of the wildest moments in the game.

The Omega DLC was another banger boss fight IMO so I'm looking forward to Leviathan.

Too many good games.

I’ve been playing balatro

I fear getting this game because I know it will eat up every single waking moment of mine.

I said come in! posted:

No wrong choice! Loved both games.

Yeah last I played I was at early Proud difficulty in Relink, I just got real busy around that time. And Unicorn Overlord's been peak as hell for me, so it's hard to choose.

Working as a translator on a game is cool but it sure is eating up a lot of my free time to actually play games myself.

This is a threat.
