Played and finished Stick it to the Man. It’s an old game from 2013 (2017 on Switch) by Zoink games, which later merged with Image & Form to make Thunderful games.
It’s a side scroller platform, where you have a giant hand coming out of hand, which you can use to jump around or read other people mind. You need to solve some puzzle and bring people things to move forward.
A small game, can be completed in 4-5 hours, very humorous though. Highly recommended to anyone who like weird / funny games.
After that, played and finished Metro 2033 Redux, oldest PS4 game on my wishlist. While I enjoyed the story and narrative, I didn’t like the game much, maybe because I am not a fan of survivor horror.
I watched the story of the next game Metro Last Light but didn’t play it. Will probably try Metro Exodus since I have heard it has switched to more action gameplay.
After all that, I am back to Trails in the Sky: SC, this is now my primary game, though it’s a long one so going to take me couple of months at least to finish it.
Since that is on PC, I also needed a game on Switch and PS. For Switch, I started Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. It’s my first Atelier game, and I have pretty much just started it, but it seems nice. Very chill, cozy crafting JRPG, without any doom and gloom (yet).
For PlayStation, I started Dust: An Elysian Tale, had it from PS+ ages ago. It’s a 2D metroidvania JRPG. Also, only started it, but it gives me a bit of Vanillaware vibes.
So, it may seem like I played a lot, but basically just finished 2 small games and started 2/3 games. And since all these games are pretty long, I’ll probably be playing them for next 2-3 months.
What about all of you? What have you been playing
I just unlocked fast travel, about 7-8 hours in the game. The game is pretty chill even now. Enjoying it quite a bit.
Harvestella is on my wishlist. Maybe the combat isn’t that great cause they were going mainly for farming side, and didn’t pay too much attention to it. Sad to heard about the performance and visuals, specially cause it’s console exclusive to Switch, so it’s not like they made it for more power consoles and then ported it to Switch.
Older titles have time limits to add a bit of pressure, but plot-wise those games stay chill 90%+ of the time.
It’s one of the reasons I like them so much, I find the mix of a chill atmosphere, addictive gather->craft loop and fantastic OSTs incredibly relaxing.
