    I just finished Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane yesterday. Definitely the kind of game that sits on your mind a long time after you’ve finished. It’s almost criminal to refer to it as an “Ace Attorney fan-game”, seeing how many things they get so right so uniquely. They absolutely nail the kind of cathartic, heart-twisting drama of all of these characters that gets you cheering for the ending.

    There’s a lot in the soundtrack that I adore, especially the way they build multiple character leitmotifs and a particular track right at the finale of the game, but obviously, their equivalent of the “Pursuit” theme is always going to be a standout.

    Bioshock Remastered has been great to revisit again. I remember how mind blown I was when I was a kid playing the demo for it on my 360.

    finished Omori.

    Im glad I stuck around, kind of got a bit of RPG fatigue at the Sweetheart section. The gameplay was fine, i just kind of didnt have anymore RPG juice left in me and the RPG kept coming. Everything after Deeper Well was well worth the persistance though, and hoo boy the ending sequence came at me personally with a knife. Good game.

      I went very far with it but gave up because I was feeling quite fatigued. I think I’m a bit after the underwater (?) Highway. It’s a fine game but I don’t have the patience for that kind of grind and repetition anymore

    I’m playing Lies of P and it’s amazing. It’s been a long time since a game was able to draw me in like this.

    Playing Dave the Diver at the moment.

    Disappointed that it went on sale hours after I bought it but even at full price it’s worth the price of admission.

    I played 72 hours of Stardew Valley 3 years ago and I got back to realize…that I know nothing!

    What is this chest? What is this thing standing beside my scarecrow?! What are all these machines doing?!? What am I planting?!?! Who is my boyfriend?!?!? Why is he my boyfriend?!?!? In short, a lot of things happened and I have amnesia now. And I thought that only happened in Rune Factory.

    Anyways, I’m playing it again. But now, dived face-first into modding it. And lo and behold! 133+ hours in, and I’m still not in the second season of the game cause I spent most of my time getting mods and testing them Skyrim modding session flashbacks All my men are yandere now and that wizard is now a hot ikemen(who I can marry in the future). I can’t wait to play!

    Previously not much of a gamer, I saw all the Starfield hype around release and decided to get an Xbox to play it. Didn’t like it initially, started to enjoy it around 5 hours in, have come full circle and am getting bored now (level 35) with all the repetitive stuff.

    Starfield did show me that maybe i enjoy a wider range of video games, so now I’m starting on Fallout 4, and so far I LOVE it. I’ve pretty much only done one mission and spent a looooooong time building my first base.

    I really love open world/exploration games, especially where there is crafting, hoarding, and killing bad guys in comical ways. Just Cause was amazing for that, I liked tethering people to trains because I’m secretly a maniac.

          oh man, you gotta try skyrim when you can. there’s no base building, but it’s the pinnacle of exploration open world games. 12 years later and I’m still finding new shit

      I don’t want to come off as to PCMR, but truly Bethesda developed games need to be played on PC to get the most out of them. The mods tremendously elevate the experience. Everything from bug fixes and optimizations (that Bethesda should have done) to full on overhauls and DLC sized expansions, and everything in between.

      I think I average about 200 mods simultaneously on Fallout 4 playthroughs.

      Like others said, Skyrim is awesome. Earlier Elder Scrolls are awesome too, little more hard boiled. Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece, highly recommend.

    Been playing the original ni no kuni as part of my Ghibli playlist.

    The game shows its age right from the get go, though it’s still adorable and fairly charming. 5 hrs in and my only complaint is that jumping is somehow an unlockable, but yeah guess it’s just me.

    Steam input support is a pleasant surprise. And I ran into a steam bug because of that(¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

        It’s Wrath of the White Witch Remastered on steam.

        And yeah that mobile one looks like cash grab to me. Never played it tho.
