Stellar blade is so fucking cool. I'm in love. How is this game so underrated, WuKong must be something else when people are saying go for that over this, I haven't been this excited about an action game since GoW 2005 blew my mind, ya it's not as evolutionary here but all it's parts definitely make it something unique and so much fun. You can re challenge bosses as well and get rewarded for it, something all these games including soulsborne need to implement. 

And then there is just the standard enemies which are kinda like mini bosses when you first encounter them. I'd love to know how much of a skill issue this is for casuals. 

Just a bog standard enemy sprinkled all over the map...

The exploration is fantastic too, the vibe is stellar, loads of systems to upgrade and third person shooting mechanics! Gear is cosmetic but given the style of the game you wanna grind for it and the graphics are pretty impressive too. Music is oddly fitting towards the vibe if a bit over used.

Horizon Dawn Frozen Wilds was great, finished the DLC last night. Tonight I'll be back to the Burning shores.

Has to visit my favorite place in HZD before logging off, Bryce Canyon

It looks good but it's nothing on burning shores.

Stellar Blade at an 82 on Opencritic, wtf. I bet if the main character was a butch, fugly women this'd be in the 90's.

Alternating between M&L Brothership and Romancing SaGa 2 Revenge of the Seven is my jam. Will do that until I finish one of them to include the remake of DQ III into the rotation. It's an RPG kind of holiday for me haha.

As for Brothership, it definitely goes for a slower pace ride early on, unlike most of the previous titles actually. But after the first boss, the game has finally found its groove. As for the critics, some of them going on after the tutorials and the hand-holding were probably either impatient or smoking cracks. Though I understand the concern about the early game, it's just that the game does go past it and definitely improves as it goes.

There's really an art I appreciate about RPGs that aren't willing to give you everything on a silver plater and overwhelm a player during it's opening act and instead cruises you through for better payoff later on.

On the other hand, Romancing SaGa 2 is the modernized quintessence of an old school RPG taking a new form and finally shining after getting all the bells and whistles it couldn't have back then on the SNES. It's incredibly approachable for newcomers but it doesn't forgo the difficult original experience. The game has one of the most unique free flowing progression I played in an RPG
Honestly, I'd say it is amongst the best 3 games I played this year so far.

Indeed, I'll drop these here too





Ridiculous good looking.

That's wild, it beats everything else outta the water. I see PC titles that people say look better like Space Marine 2 and.... nah. This it it right here until the next Sony girst party title.
