Played Re4 remake. Fuck now that was that good shit. On a purely gameplay standpoint I think the og was more satisfying but the things this game did to make the paper-thin story better makes this the better game for me overall. The pacing overall is better and the added stuff for characters is great like Luis and espicially Ashley they did God's work for Ashley she is so good in the remake

Finished omori. Good game. Presentation wise it is very very good. Story and character wise it also very good I guess I can't elaborate cause spoilers but its a very realistic look on how the removal of a loved one can affect people's lives. I will say the main downside with this game would probably be the mindscape sections in premise it is very much contextually relevant and is sometimes utilize exceptionally in the game for character stuff but majority of the time its just like alright rpg stuff. Like it's not bad really its fine Just kinda wish it was more tied into the rest of the game I guess or that they were shorter or something. Everything involving the real world is peak and that ending is both very shocking but also I would say is very good made me feel shit. Favorite characters would be probably Sunny, Kel, and Aubrey
Xenoblade DE (Third Playthrough) While I can appreciate how well crafted the world and story is for this game alot of it doesn't really click for me tbh. That is until chapter 15 where it's basically all perfect to the end with one of my favorite final antagonists in gaming. This new game plus playthrough playthrough did make me realize how much of this game is just walking which is fine since the world is well made but it can also get pretty monotonous. The Music and graphics are still peak fiction tho
Xenoblade 2. Yeah I can definitely say I like this one more than 1 I wouldn't say it really fully comes together till the second half but I just the characters and world alot more interesting than one's. The main thing that holds it back would be presentation. The voice acting gets better but it really does detract from the experience at times and I hope I can play this in Japanese one day too see what it's like. The mixing with the music is also kinds odd and good lord the amount of cutscnenes in the final few chapters are absurd. Music, graphics, combat are real good tho. This replay made me realize just how much better the combat in xenoblade 2 is too 1 its absurd. Oh shit yeah also the fighting cutscnes are so good. Comparing them to xenoblades 1 cutscenes its like night and day quality wise
Replayed Xenoblade 3 before The dlc came out. On replay it made me appreciate it more than I already did honestly just the way its world is crafted and it affects it characters really speaks to me. Its hard to fully extrapulate but this a special game to me. Also RIKU GOAT. Easily my favorite of the trilogy its cast of characters is pretty unrivaled. Like the world and how its affects it character really really get to me in this one. Like I appreciate the villain cast alot more in this game to how its contextualized they all come off as completely unhinged cause of the world is in Xeno 3 its gas
Beat Future redeemed. I think its a pretty good ending to this Xenoblade saga very fun to play overall. Character wise I feel its fine in comparison to the base game best being rex and shulk. Im still reeling from the Riku reveal in this dlc tbh best part. OH FUCKING YEAH THE VISUALS AND MUSIC FOR 3 IS LIKE THE BESR SHIT EVER YOU HAVE NO IDEA. HOW GOOD 3 LOOKS IN COMPARISON TO 1 AND 2 IS ABSURD I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY DID IT AND THE SOUNDTRACK OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SAVED MY LIFE
Beat jedi survivor and it was very good. Traversal and combat wise it plays like a dream and is cool as shit. Kind of mixed on the story tho it's hard to describe but It just kind went through the motions for me till the last 20% which is great. I do think the theming all around is great too but I do think the connection with merrin feels kind of hollow since she's not in the first game much and the final villains motivation perplexes me but maybe that's partly the point

Did silver lining and it is uh alright? The mafia stuff is still genuinely the most boring shit ever and sable is pretty one note when it comes to uh focus character making this the weakest one story wise but I don't really hate it its still just like whatever. The Watanabe collectible story is really good tho I will give it that
