People were worried that big games releasing these few weeks would overshadow indie games. Seems like that’s luckily not the case.

    To think it’s also on PS Plus (and I think Game Pass?). Well-deserved though, it’s a great game so far! Big Chrono Trigger vibes, which I just finished a few months ago so it’s cool to have some more old school JRPG stuff to play.

    Although I’m super tempted to get it on Switch despite having 2 hours on PS5. It’s the perfect game to play in bed

      I can play it for free through both GamePass and PS+ and yet I still bought it on Steam.

      Suffice it to say the Steam Deck has changed how I consume certain games.

      If you like old school, but new, games I have to recommend Octopath Traveller 2. I started it 3 days ago and already have 30 hours with no signs of slowing down.

        Nice! How long is that game? Been hearing a lot of great things about it so I’ll have to give it a spin sometime.

          Average playtime without side quests I’ve seen about 60 hours. I’m at 40, there’s 8 characters, and I’ve only been focusing on 4 of them. My playtime may be off, though, because there were a few times I left it paused for a few hours.

    Some of these games, like Starfield, cost an absolute fortune ($120 AUD where I live on Steam). I’m simply not going to pay that much for a game but will happily pick up something like Sea of Stars for less than half the price.
