Onto world 3. Still so creative and I love bow this one looks.

Really cool! Descends into rote memorisation and more a proof of concept than anything else. Incredibly interesting though, and the central mechanic makes things very tense.

Played enough to see how it is on a phone… okay. And enough to remember there are no mud mission checkpoints and that’s very annoying.

Smartly polished up edges do enough to mask an old feeling game design I never quite loved.

Outside of the heat chapter, all really enjoyable. Better when not steaming it… Full review coming soon.

Just awesome. The shooting diamonds in space bits aside.

Some cool mechanics in here. Some of the legacy Persona elements seem forced and a touch disruptive. It’s cool, though.

Damn good final sequence... Could have done with some of that gameplay flexibility earlier.

Couple of hours of shrine based exploration. Fun vehicle shrine; silly stealth attack shrine (a waste, really). As always, the moments in between stun.

Racing.

Played through a dungeon and beat a boss.

I'm just not that compelled by this. Combat is a bit of a chore; good ideas that don't fit together into a good overall sustem.

Finally back to this. Played 20 mins in which I was turned to cheese and I also commissioned a statue of me for my camp.

Made it to a king of puppets. Almost beat said boss, within one hit… I just don’t like how this game plays that much… soz

Well, story done. Some cool ideas but feels very known and a more interesting narrative backloaded and shoved into a very static and resistant structure.

Then new game plus to do the often broken Crimson Fleet quest… which is actually very good.

Got the Super Famicom hooked up in the new office.

Yeah, Quake 2 is still the best.

I just love the way Quake II moves.

Did a dungeon and a boss. Starting to think I’ve had my fill, even though I think it’s excellent.

Some real creative bits in here and some good writing, but also repetitive and a touch annoying.

Lots of progress. I have a beautiful platinum pickaxe now, and a lovely home. I saved up for the mining helmet and I took rides on minecarts. I also found a lake that poured into lava and now have a good amount of obsidian!

Finished it.

A pain.

A couple of quick runs just because it’s great. Hit 31 minutes in one of them (on the double speed mode, of course).

Beat that first boss after a few upgrades. Was kinda fun but I still feel like I’ve gotten my head around a pretty okay game.
