Happy new year everyone.

So the first game I finished in 2024 is What Remains of Edith Finch. It is short enough to be completed in a single afternoon, I've had it on my wishlist for a while and I bought it on sale today. I know it is not the newest game and I'm sure there were a lot of discussions about it here in vgchartz, but anyway. I felt like I had to share a thought about it.

It broke me. I am a 39 year old grownup but I cried like a little b*tch. Yes it is short, and yes it is basically just an interactive story, but man, it hit me hard.

I just bought that game too.  I heard good things and had it in my wishlist on Deku Deals.  Saw it was on sale and picked it up.  I actually had some Gold coins that were going to expire in about 3 months, so the holiday sale seemed like a good time to use them.  I picked up What Remains of Edith Finch, Transistor, Shakedown: Hawaii, and Guacamelee! 2 Complete all for free.  I also grabbed Untitled Goose Game for $9.00 from Walmart.  Target also has it for $9.00 right now, which is the cheapest it has ever been.

Just about a week ago I also used some Gold coins to grab Ape Out and The Last Campfire while they were on sale.

Pretty nice games, enjoy!

Playing Castlevania NES reminded me how different and stiff the controls could be. The jump doesn't feel like any type of platform I've played and it's difficult to jump off momentum ... Or rather too easy sometimes ....

4th and 5th stage got me in fumes at their boss stages as well ... Had to resort to the save feature at Death's boss battle, prolly would've took 3 hours to finish that stage otherwise.

Oh yeah, the difficulty is insane. Death can be obliterated with Holy Water but bringing it to the fight is very hard.
