Enemies just deal bull damage no matter what. Sink your points into VAT if you're going the glass cannon route. I started with stealth, but then switched over to Mechanist when I realized that it's better to just have a companion do all the heavy lifting since they practically never die.
Ghost of Tsushima. I haven't felt this immersed in an openworld game for awhile now and it's utterly spectacular. Sure some of the things can be pretty repetitive, but the sheer levels of care put into the worldbuilding and mechanical aspects will keep players coming back for hours on end. It's...
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Some bits feel a bit dated (running animations and such) and the handheld resolution is a tad disappointing, but the combat is swift compared to XC2, the menus are convenient and helpful for swapping out gear, and of course the landscapes look stunning...
Dragon Age: Inquisition. As my first foray into the series, I got what I'd expect out of a Bioware product: adequate character customization (lacking any appealing hairstyles), a mixed cast with likable/unlikable types, and a choice system that just works fine--all the trappings carried over...
Final Fantasy VII Remake finally came in via post, so now I'm about to fire it up after discarding the data disc. Not looking forward to playing through the entire prologue again so soon after finishing the demo.
Finished Doom in time for Eternal's release, but Amazon decided to delay the shipment for my copy until next week, understandably.
In the meantime I'll be tackling Ori and the Blind Forest for some quiet downtime.
Two Bugthesda games at the same time?! But it's not all that bad because no Failure 76.
Doom '16 goes against the grain of yearly Call of Duty clones, emphasizing a more action-oriented approach to culling hordes of demonic invaders. Unlike other shooters, taking cover will result in Doomslayer...
Finished all of the points of interest in Toussaint, so now all I have left is the main story in Blood and Wine so I can finally lay this travesty to rest.
Finished the (boring) Hearts of Stone expansion in Witcher 3 ahead of the main campaign with practically every point of interest cleared on all maps, all armor set diagrams collected, and about to hit level 39. Just have to beat the Wild Hunt and then play through Brood and Whine, and I'll...
Star Wars: Force Unleashed for PC since Fallen Order left me hankering more, and I'm discontent about the lack of button configuration since I'm using the Switch pro controller and the only other recourse is Xbox (with the face buttons flipped). Apart from some issues getting the visual display...
Finished Astral Chain finally aside from the postgame content. The story ended on a weird note and I found the plotline to be a bit inconsistent, but hopefully a sequel will resolve this. The combat, however, is stupendous as it incorporates something from just about all of Platinum's IPs (like...
Doing another quick run through of Trails of Cold Steel II before the third game drops. As noted before, Nightmare has become a complete breeze and I'm already halfway through an otherwise 100 hour game. Just have one more round of missions to go through before entering the endgame, basically...
Finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and enjoyed the gameplay, but the locked progression problems that @Castle mentioned somewhat curbed the immersion. Nonetheless, I expect Cyberpunk 2077 to play exactly like it...
...And moved on to Ys Origins (which should come to the Switch). While not on...
Finished my replay of Torna ~The Golden Country~ (which has an amazing story and you should all play it), and next I'm moving on to Hollow Knight after buying it last night. Let's see what all the literal rage is about.
Jaunting through DmC: Devil May Cry-Definitive Edition- before the big fish drops in a couple of months. ...And I gotta say, Dante's emotions are deader than the undead fiends, so much deader that the devil might burst into tears at any moment. We miss you classic, smart-alecky, wisecracking Dante.
Yeah, the story started out really slow so far and six hours in it feels like the game has already given me a full party lol. But apart from the fact that you can't break out of an attack animation by dodging, the combat isn't all that bad. Compared to Tales or Star Ocean, I think the gameplay...
Ratchet and Clank 2016. It's a fun game, but the final boss is super annoying. I just want to beat him and be done with it.
Also giving Warframe a try. For a free-to-play Destiny clone, it's pretty neat. You can go around sniping enemies with a bow or sneak-attacking them with a katana, so it...
Drakengard 3
Absolutely fluid hack'n'slash combat almost on par with Bayonetta. While the graphics look unimpressive for a 2014 release, and there's the occasional frame dip that comes with explosions, the gameplay is simple enough to master. I'm expecting to finish this before Nier: Automata...
