Castlevania dawn of sorrow thanks to https://retroachievements.org/

Their weekly highlighted achievement is beating one of its bossos

Touhou 8: Imperishable Night.

I earned my first-ever 1CC there three days ago, on the Easy difficulty (ignoring the perennial “easy modo” memes within the games’ fandom), and slowly but surely, I’m learning both the fundamentals and the strategies towards passing various stages and spellcard patterns; hopefully, with enough practice, patience, and a bit of foresight, I can move up and do another 1CC on Mormal (both Finales), either with the Border or Netherworld team.

As for everything else, I found myself enthralled with the lore, story, and the music in this game, as if it were timeless, in a way. I’d say I like Eirin’s boss theme the most, befitting for someone who’s lived through time and knows everything diligently.

Quake II remaster (?) by Nightdive in co-op with a friend. It‘s alright. I see it more as a video game history course, everything kinda looks the same so it hasn’t held up too well IMO, but it‘s a good time in co-op. And thank God they built in a navigation system lol

Tried Tetris effect today, last time I played Tetris was on the nds so this is quite the upgrade!

Monument Valley 1 & 2.

Quite short but excellent. I love good games that I can play with my 9-yr old daughter (like [email protected])

Watch Dogs

Fun, but sometimes the difficulty seems to be all over the place, particularly with running from pursuit. Sometimes you can lose them in a minute or two, other times the game keeps spawning in new cars in front of you with no way to dodge them without the ones behind you catching up.

BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea 1. Not quite hooked yet because ammo is almost too scarce to call it a shooter. But I want to like it.

Also playing Dead Cells, which is great but the higher difficulties are very very hard.

Echoes of the past!

incredibly fun.

I’ve only been playing a few hours, but I am having a blast.

I dunno if I just discovered them but I was playing Sexy Parodius and Harmful Park. I’m really bad at both.

Zen Pinball 2 on PS Vita. Got every single table, played few dozen and still got a ton left.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Just finished the 5 main endings of Nier Automata and enjoyed it! Wanted to see what the fuss was about (especially after seeing the meme about how doitsujin was motivated to develop DXVK to play it). Enjoyable time and I plan to get all the endings.

Next on my list is Mini Motorways and Alien Isolation :)

Been playing FFXII international, been quite enjoying it so far.

I just started Lair of the Clockwork God and I think it’s definitely worth a look. You play as two characters, one who is “point and click” (can’t jump, only move and interact) and the other is a platformer (can jump, can’t interact). It’s pretty interesting, and the puzzles have been fairly easy but still cllever.

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance (2018) for the past month or so. Haven’t been this immersed in a game world in a long time. Sure it’s a bit janky at parts and gets a while getting used to, but the world is beautiful and the attention to history and realism is incredible!
