games

More details, since I'm getting paid to shit now.

Nearing the end of Lie of P. It has been a very solid souls like game, that is sort of like bloodborne meets sekiro. I'd say I enjoy it more than bloodborne (the worst of the souls games for me) but far less than sekiro. It's trying to do too much I think, with the only thing that really matter the ability to perfect block a series of boss combos. Which is very meh to me, because the timing always feels not quite there. Sekiro it was forgiving enough on perfect blocks, with your side equipment being solid to assist you in a variety of ways. Lies of P arm parts are seemingly only useful between boss fights. Simply just too slow to be viable against any boss.

Wo Long, is like a weird half nioh, half sekiro but it leans towards being easier compared to Lies, with plenty of options to offset a skill deficiency and perfect parry being less needed but easier to time as well. It's a romance of three kingdoms game, which is a setting I adore so after I finish Lies I'm going to dig into some more.

Golden Idol and it's DLC have been excellent, a lovely mystery game where you figure what's happened by clues on the people in a scene and some logic, and some gaming of the systems. I'll be sad when I finish the final case, but the sequel was announced so hoping it's good.

Ravenswatch, is like a single session diablo thingy. You pick a fairy tale hero and try to stop the nightmares. You level up, and are given a choice of two traits to modify your skills, they can increase your power quite radically. It's in early access with the final act still being made. It's great to kill slightly less than an hour of time. Quite a bit of grinding to unlock all the traits for each hero though. My favorites being ice queen, beowulf, Aladdin, and the mermaid.

I've always been playing stardew with my partner maybe 3 hours a week when we have time. Been meaning to play more on my own time too but xmas gave me many games to play.

I also have Mario wonder to start.
