I might be mis-remembering - its been 8 years since I last played the game (on WiiU) and didnt do the DLC either

But ya, you couldnt watch the cutscenes again as far as I know on the WiiU version.

Tomorrow I'm going on vacation for a week. During that time, I'll only be able to play on my Switch and laptop, so I decided to log back into Nightreign to test the enchanted version of Adel The Baron of the Night form we got in today’s update

Jeez, he was always tough, but now he's H-A-R-D. Like, REALLY fucking hard. I tried to beat him eight times and failed all eight. The closest my teammates and I got was getting him below 10% HP on the fourth or fifth attempt. They removed some of the stagger effects he used to show when poisoned in the original version, and now he's fully lightning/gravity-fueled from the start of the fight. They also added some pretty wild combos and field-wide mechanics, so you really need to understand how to handle the environmental hazards

His health bar is bigger, and he hits even harder. I think, in this Everdark update, he's officially the hardest boss now

We also took on a few other bosses to test relics and builds. I played Duchess because I wanted to finish her questline. Her best relics are the ones that trigger and enhance her Restage skill. It's funny how much easier the game becomes when you know the field bosses, can predict rewards, and locate the best loot and upgrades. You can reliably finish day 2 at level 15, have all your weapons upgraded to +2, and if you get lucky, even snag a legendary weapon

Exploiting boss weaknesses (and knowing how to take advantage of every little thing stat buildups, staggers, hit windows, etc.) makes a huge difference. Tricephalos used to be a wall I used to beat him maybe once every four or five runs. Now, a coordinated team can take him down without using even half their flasks. Did we all get better? Definitely. But figuring out the “meta” is easily twice as important as raw skill

After much consideration I decided to give the game 4 stars on my backloggd which is quite a feat since I only give 4.5 and 5 stars to one or two games a year. I think Nightreign has design problems, which are kinda inherent of the type of game it is (read Roguelike), but when played as it's supposed to be played (read, in groups of 3 people with tactical combinations and resource sharing) the game truly shines and offers the best it has

I've clocked over 72 hours and have no plans to quit anytime soon. If the devs keep updating it, I'll be busy for months. The game has now reached 80% positive reviews, which is a huge jump from the 59% it had at launch. The playerbase count still high, hope Fromsoftware see this and keep releasing content

Raidou Remastered!

Finished Raidou Remastered. 10/10! Now one of my fave SMT games. It's an ARPG and it's shorter than most games in the series. 20-25 hours. It gets weird and fucked up even for SMT. Amazing game! I hope Atlus remasters 2 soon along with Digital Devil Saga 1-2. 

Gonna be playing the most expensive game in Death Stranding, I've ever bought soon and they release it at 5am in the morning. At that cost I was hoping to do my old Midnight release session I haven't done since Elden Ring and now that's goen out the window. Pitiful decisions by Sony and Kojima PRO and another shit part of all digital. Something tells me the sourness of all this, the cost mostly, will effect my experience with the game.

@OP. I highly recommend Keepers Toll at full price, great little game in a great genre.

Went back to one of the earliest games I ever played as a kid. Jazz Jackrabbit 2! What an AWESOME game. Really wish that franchise would've taken off for Epic Games. Vibrant art style, jazzy and funky soundtrack, and some amazing feeling platforming and shooting with some sonic the hedgehog type speed. I found the JJ2+ mod that the community has been working on for like 15 years and is still getting updated to add new features, up the resolution, fix bugs, etc. Love to see it! Game deserves it. Looks like it's on sale on GOG as well.

Highly recommend staying clear of Soulstone Survivors, it's the biggest grind fest and there is no weight at all to the combat. For 15 you could buy three better games from Brotato, Keepers Toll and NERD Survivors or Army of Ruin and likely all four if there is discounts. Really overhyped, not sure what people see in this one.

Nice 

Got these in the mail today so been playing them. I am a GiTS fan so not sure why it took this long for me to get this game. Psi Ops popped in for a couple min and will play more later. Seems kinda fun.

Picked up a really cool game called Slipstream, I love these indie drifters, not sure about this one yet but I'd highly recommend the genre with games like Inertial drift or Table Top racing World Tour, they are so good bite sized little arcade racers.
