Same. I generally like exploration but it didn't feel rewarding in NMS.
Metaphor! I'm at the third town and loving every part of it.
I'm kinda struggling with the difficulty on hard, so I might turn it down a bit, as the resources feel a little too strict and stressful, but it also makes finishing a dungeon more satisfying.
For some reason I struggle finishing the games (VII, X, XII, XIII), but I'm always drawn to them, as I find the worlds and designs rather appealing.
I also really like how they experiment with different mechanics from one game to another and always try something new.
I did finish XV, VIIR and XIV (excluding Endwalker and Dawntrail) and liked them a lot, with Shadowbringers as my favorite out of them.
I'm playing Metaphor ReFantazio. I've played the first 15 hours and it seems really good.
It feels a lot like fantasy persona with smt combat (which is good because I always felt like turn press was more fun than one more). The new job system is interesting, and fights are challenging enough (on hard).
Story and setting started off strong, so I'm curious to see how it goes.
Not much this week. I got bored of HZD, as after a pretty good start, it turned into a generic open world, which I really don't like.
Now I'm playing Ys Memories of Celceta, but I'm mostly waiting for Metaphor to release on Friday.
Its in my wishlist! I'm waiting for it to release tho, I don't really like playing early access games and risk getting tired of them before release.
Not op, but I've been playing the series (just finished the sixth game, Cold Steel), and I'd suggest not starting from a later point in the series, as every game references the previous ones in some way. Although even if they didn't, I'd still suggest starting from Sky, then playing Zero and Azure, as they are really good (and imo much better games than CS).
Started Horizon Zero Dawn. I usually don't like open world games, but this one has an interesting setting and the gameplay seems fun, so I'm giving it a try.
Finally finished Trails of Cold Steel which was meh. It felt needlessly padded (it could have been shortened to like 30 hours instead of 60 IMO) and there were too many uninteresting characters (I actually can't think of an interesting one). Hopefully the following games are better, as now the setting should be more interesting.
I have, lol.
But there's still gonna be Switch games I already own and don't wanna rebuy or exclusives I wanna play.
That's true. Altho I ended up getting a switch lite because even tho it's smaller, it's lighter and the soft buttons are much more comfortable.
That's a shame if it's true. I found the original uncomfortable and painful to hold, I was hoping for something more like the Steam Deck.
Still playing Metaphor, I'm really enjoying it. I think I'm around halfway through. The story is going in an interesting direction, and the gameplay is still fun, altho I'm always feeling a bit underleveled.
