Coridden is fun, turns out it runs good enough on my nearly 6 year old gaming laptop (GTX 1060) to play together on TV. (@ 1080p30) Just need to move it over and pair two controllers via blue tooth. It supports the Dualsense so don't even have to guess where the Y button is lol. (correct prompts for a change)

Charming game, slower paced than PoE2, obviously far lower production values but feels very polished. The gameplay is very fluent, instant transitions for shape shifting, no delays in weapon swapping, fast movement, feels very good.

Combat feels good so far, far less chaotic than PoE2. Plenty skills to unlock but no skill tree web (which is a positive for us).

Hopefully it comes to consoles but the developer doesn't have any idea yet when. Would be a great game for Switch (2) as well!

Looks pretty generic tbh. But hey, do you know what would make a great game for you and the wife, Vampire Survivors! It's a "Bullet heaven or Reverse bullet hell game as they call them) like a roguelite, sort of ARPG but you don't need to press any buttons. All you do is choose your build as you progress a run and there are loads of games in the genre now too that are pretty damn good. Vampire survivors is so damn good, like 10/10 masterpiece good despite how it looks on the surface. It's cheap to and so are the copy cats, all around 5 euro. 

Ha no, those are all negatives. roguelite, builds, runs, bullet hell. That's why we quit 'mapping' in PoE2 since it feels like all that!

We haven't played Coridden since trying it out. Still too much hassle to set it all up, and a lot of info to retain again. Will wait for ps5 version before spending more time on that.

Recently we picked up our newbies in Poe2 again, started Act 2 again last night. My wife isn't interested in builds at all, so I'm doing all the 'busy work', setting up the equipment, skills, button binds, spirit gems, support gems, find where to go in the passive tree. (Plus it's broken further now for couch co-op, p2 can't pick skill and support gems anymore, so I have to log in as my wife to set everything up) Then again all for my new Ranger.

So an hour+ work preparing then a couple hours playing, ignoring loot, before repeating the cycle. We could really use a game that's more straight forward but does let you progress your character through the game. (And doesn't unload everything on you, and leave you in the dark, in the first hour like Coridden) PoE2 makes things unnecessarily convoluted. But it's a lot easier now since we have all unique armor/weapons from our first characters.

I see Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1+2 had remasters for ps4/ps5. Maybe it's time to replay those.
