decide which one i should play + rec me something else

got a decent computer and am paralyzed by the gaming options it has given me, so i'm combining a small "to play in 2022" list and "rec me games" list into one. i got a selection of games i put on this list myself that i'm eyeing for playing in 2022 with no real plan yet, partly to remind myself of them but also because i'm letting you tell me which one out of them you think i should play, in the hopes that a little peer pressure will help. AND you can rec me something else if you'd like, which will appear as the entries coming after a certain game already on this list that will serve as the cutoff between my choices and yours. you'll know the one.

the ones i've picked already are ones i'm more likely to go for first (some of them i started but never went back to and intend to give a 2nd shot) but it's far from a strict queue of games to get thru, and i'll take new suggestions into consideration for playing sooner if they look like they could be my thing, or are at least interesting enough. reserve the right to be choosy abt what i accept though, so try to read the room a little. i also have a switch and ps4 (not pro) to play and that's abt it for current consoles.

Play Chrono Cross!! I see it on your backlog!

I want to know your thoughts on like half these games, but I think Chibi-robo is the one here I'm most drawn to... followed by, like, klonoa and shadow of memories and lost odyssey.

+1 to chibi-robo, which i vividly remember bits of from having played it as a kid and i'm curious about how well it holds up

i'd rec klonoa 2 also if you check out 1

2 years ago

I don't know a lot of yours but I remember liking Lost Odyssey back when it came out. Just be prepared to watch a cutscene every 10 minutes.

voting for drakengard, suggesting maybe...noticed gadget was on here?

I’m voting for Drakengard 3 because it’s my favorite game ever and even if you hate it there’s nothing quite like it. Also I really love Little King’s Story and wish more people would try it (screw the Vita remake lol though)

2 years ago

I place my vote on Re:Kinder, and I also recommend you play Cosmology of Kyoto.

2 years ago

@kingbancho im guessing you mean the first one but ill take the sequel in spirit too, if its possible to play

@Rellni944 new little king's story is like the most bizarrely cynical spit in the face and i feel so bad for the og's creators and fans that its attached to the name

2 years ago

try Infra i saw somebody else playing it & it was a good time.
