Finished Borderlands 3. Still have quite a few side quests left, but have played it enough. Was thinking about Platinum previously, but don’t want to play 20-30 more hours just for trophies. Maybe if it had a really good narrative, which it doesn’t.

Started Greedfall. It’s a AA-ish RPG by Spider. The world building is interesting, and story and quests aren’t bad. There are different factions and how you do the quest you can improve or worsen your relations with them. You can use stealth, or direct combat, or even talk your way through them.

Where I am currently, I haven’t gotten any quest that will improve my relation with faction at the cost of worsening it with another (though there were ones where I could choose different faction, and improve my relation with them), but I am still very early in the game.

The weakest part is the combat. You have 3 classes, and you can select upto 2 companions, all of who are of different factions and different classes. The combat itself isn’t that great though. While it is serviceable it would’ve been pretty much unacceptable if it was released today. Have played some 5-6 hours yet, so things may open up a more.

Reached Episode 4 of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All.

Episode 3/4 spoiler

It was really cool to see Edgeworth again. I mean I knew he wasn’t dead because there are games released after this one that has him, but still it was nice to see him again.

Didn’t get to play Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter last week, but will give it some time this one. On a related note, really excited about the remake! Still going to finish it, but going to play the remake too. Probably not at launch, but soon-ish.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    And, then… there’s my mystery game. It’s done and it was Danganronpa V3.

    Oh, so that was the secret game! I was very curious about it after the last post.

    … and yeah, I wasn’t very impressed with that one either when I played it years ago. The twist in the first chapter was cool, but after that it never got anywhere near as good as the previous two games and like you said the ending was terrible.

    I’m glad Kodaka moved on from the series to try new things after that. Master Detective Archives: Rain Code was quite enjoyable, and while I don’t think it’s as good as the first two Danganronpa games the overall mood of the game was fantastic (Kanai Ward was such a cool location) and got me wishing for a sequel in the future.
