Just finished Pokémon Sword and captured Zacian, yay!

Also love playing New Pokémon Snap (switch). Such a chill game.

Also manage to get 2 photos with exactly the same score (not sure how hard/rare that is however):

Sea of Thieves, also run MK64 time trials...dabble in the other MK games as well but mainly 64. Oh and for a meme game I play bonk.io lol

Just finished both Subnautica 1 and Below Zero (platinumed both, very easy platinums). Had a lot of fun just exploring and getting scared really badly from some horrific monsters! Highly recommend if anybody hasn't had a chance to play (much better on new gen systems but still good on old ones).

Just finished playing Bowser's fury. Pretty fun game!

Hello everyone, I recently came across a very fun game about sea of thieves pirates, are there people here who played it? is it worth buying, they look very cool, but it seems to me that there is little content!!!!

Finished playing sonic the hedgehog 3. Awesome game!

started playing Bayonetta. Kind of overhyped game tbh. (or maybe I had too high expectations).

[A# Minor]

Super Mario 64 & Galaxy (I have 3D All-Stars, but I can't seem to get myself to play Sunshine anymore), Yoshi's Island (I'm terrible at it though), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and some other old Mario games from the NES/SNES collection. I'm about to actually beat Super Mario Galaxy with Luigi (I think I'm 19 stars away from doing so at the moment) and I can't wait to see what I get!


Edit: WRECKING CREWWWW

Finished playing Bayonetta 1. A bit overrated game tbh. Thought it was going to be better cause it's a pretty big series somewhat, but ... sadly not. It got a bit better towards the end, but still a bit meh.

[Tobbeh99]

Finished playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Kind of felt quite different Zelda game. Not sure why. Maybe some of the music felt a bit different, also quite short dungeons. I also didn't like how you used the DS pen to move and do like a lot of stuff. But one of the better things was the final boss, it was pretty cool!

I'm not really playing much, but I have been playing TRIA.OS

That is really it for this point in time.

I've been waiting for Ashes of Creation to come out with the alpha for PC but I play Pokemon Showdown sometimes and when there's a new update for path of exile I usually play at least for awhile. Other then that I do still play my playstation 2 games ;~; from way back when

PS2 is one of those consoles that just had a ton of games. I think my largest (physical) games library is PS2.

I've been endeavoring to clear out my Steam library by playing, and hopefully beating, as many games as possible (some games are multiplayer or are designed to be played continuously with no clear end in sight; and I may even abandon some games for various reasons).

The most recent game I completed was Alwa's Awakening. Overall, while I enjoyed the game, I wasn't a huge fan. Although the game is a Metroidvania, you really don't get a lot of powerups that directly power up the main character. For example, by the end of the game, your jump isn't any higher than it was at the beginning of the game; you don't gain any more hearts (though you do gain a vial which refills your hearts after you die from non-instakill damage); the only special attack you gain is the lightning magic. With the relatively short length of the game I feel it works out well enough, though I'd rather have gotten two extra hearts instead of the vial, which is annoying to have to manually refill.

The game seems to enjoy wasting your time and is overall more tedious than difficult (though I'd say the first three bosses are well designed and actually difficult). There are waaaaaaay too many instakill obstacles, especially for a Metroidvania, which makes the game feel more like a standard platformer that got converted to a Metroidvania late into development. Travel is frequently annoying, since there are a lot of instances where it's difficult if not downright impossible to go back the way you came (at least until you unlock the upgraded bubble). The movement feels a bit stifled at times, and hitboxes/hurtboxes tend to feel unfavorable to you and favorable to the enemies/obstacles even when you wouldn't expect them to be.

Apparently the sequel, Alwa's Legacy, improves a lot of some of the game's issues, so I'd be open to trying it in the future if it ever goes on sale.
