  • I’m still playing Triangle Strategy and played a bit of Granblue Fantasy Vs Rising, but I’m on pad as I didn’t have my hitbox with me so I’m trying to relearn the controls.

    I’ve been also playing a bit of Genshin Impact and while I don’t like the monetization and think it hurts the game even if you don’t interact with it, it’s still enjoyable to play and the exploration is quite relaxing.

    I’ve also been playing Etrian Odyssey which I had put on hold for a few months because I had gotten stuck on a certain floor, but now I figured out where to go. I am really enjoying it, it does feel a bit old, but it probably enhances how hostile the dungeon feels.






  • For some reason I struggle finishing the games (VII, X, XII, XIII), but I’m always drawn to them, as I find the worlds and designs rather appealing.

    I also really like how they experiment with different mechanics from one game to another and always try something new.

    I did finish XV, VIIR and XIV (excluding Endwalker and Dawntrail) and liked them a lot, with Shadowbringers as my favorite out of them.





  • Started Horizon Zero Dawn. I usually don’t like open world games, but this one has an interesting setting and the gameplay seems fun, so I’m giving it a try.

    Finally finished Trails of Cold Steel which was meh. It felt needlessly padded (it could have been shortened to like 30 hours instead of 60 IMO) and there were too many uninteresting characters (I actually can’t think of an interesting one). Hopefully the following games are better, as now the setting should be more interesting.


  • Been rotating between a few games:

    Slowly playing through Trails of Cold Steel, which is finally starting to pick up after chapter 4 (the characters are still pretty dull and I’m not a huge fan of the orbment changes).

    Played a bit of Tales of Vesperia which I’m enjoying more than expected, but got distracted and mostly played Dragon’s Dogma which is really fun but a bit confusing on where I’m supposed to go (and when).

    I also got Triangle Strategy, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ys Memories of Celceta and Ys Oath in Felghana which were all on sale, but haven’t started any yet.





  • After enjoying Ys I and II, I played Origin, which was hugely disappointing. It just felt so unsatisfying to play, and the single dungeon was boring af. I pushed through hoping at least the story would get interesting, but after almost finishing it again with the second character it never did, so I gave up and dropped it. I’m not sure if I want to try the other games in the series, seeing as this is considered one of, if not the, best.

    Literally just started playing Tales of Vesperia (~30 minutes). First impressions are that it looks really nice, the combat feels better than the other Tales I tried (Arise and Berseria) and I’m linking the setting and character designs.



  • Continuing Trails, now at Cold Steel (started chapter 3) and it’s… bad? It feels like a huge drop in quality from the previous games. The dialogues feel too long and boring, the characters uninteresting and I’m not vibing with the school setting.

    Played a couple of hours of Atelier Ryza, which I had accidentally put on hold midway through, and felt lost and confused. I’m not sure if I should restart it or push through.

    Played Ys I and currently playing II. The first one was a fun simple adventure, the combat system is kinda weird, as you just run into enemies to damage them, but surprisingly satisfying. The bosses were more annoying than anything. The second one seems to have made the combat more interactive, as there’s magic now, and the first two bosses were fun to fight, but the maps are a bit too big and confusing.
