Still playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, nothing more to say about it. Though, while the game is still fun, I think my stamina for 50+ hours games has gone really down. I am about 65 hours in. I think I can do 10 or so more hours without much issue, hopefully I’ll be near the end by then.
Played some more of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Cleared the first temple, and now clearing the second temple, I am quite sure I have cleared more than half of it. Should reach the third temple over the weekend.
One interesting thing is, Ocarina of Time has interesting dungeons and kinda meh overworld, which is opposite of BotW and TotK.
I also started couple of “side-games”. Horizon Chase Turbo a no nonsense arcade racing game, it’s just race after race, without any other shenanigans. I have only played the first area, so not sure if I will keep liking it, but for now I am enjoying it.
Also started Golf Story. This has been on my wishlist since Switch’s launch year. A lite-RPG / golf game. I am not really a big golf fan, but I am enjoying it in this game.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Finished Unicorn Overlord!
What an amazing game. The storyline lacks depth, but everything else shines - gameplay is great, the amount of customization you have is staggering, the visuals and soundtrack are beautiful, and the world is big and full of places to explore.
I was also extremely impressed on how polished and optimized the Switch version is. Loading screens are non-existent, everything is clean, fast and fluid.
Can’t recommend this one enough, it’s a must-play for strategy game fans.
Playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak!
Another arc with a new cast and location is something this series desperately needed after all those games in the Cold Steel saga and I’m glad this day has finally arrived. I’m still early in the game, finished the Prologue and early into Chapter 1, but I can already see why people say so many good things about this one.
Van is an excellent main character. He’s smart, experienced, and I like how he’s more morally “gray”, willing go get his hands dirty if necessary - the whole idea of having the main characters working on shadier jobs is a nice contrast to the previous games. I’m less thrilled about Agnes, she feels too much like a “generic main heroine”, but she does a good job as the audience surrogate and I expect she’ll get more development during the game.
One thing I’m finding surprisingly enjoyable is the “dual” battle system - when you meet an enemy you start in a “action” style battle, and you can at any time press a button to transition to turn-based. The idea is that you can use the “action” part of the battle to stun the enemies and get an advantage, but when fighting weaker enemies you can often finish the battle without going into turn-based, which makes this a really nice time-saving/QOL feature.
Prologue Spoilers
Also, Van gets a goddamn Kamen Rider-style transformation. Impossible for me to not get crazy hyped after that.
Thanks for the recommendations!
As for trails, just read first paragraph to see you like it, going to skip the rest until I get to this one 😀
