working on open worlds made me hate video games :^)
Wandering Sword is one of my favourite games of the last few years, it has some problems with things like UI and Controls, but other than that a very nice experience.

Played a few hours of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and honestly tech stuff aside it's a pretty decent game, especially if you don't expect it to be anything like the first one. It won't scratch the same itch as VTMB, but I think I'll enjoy it overall

Damn, I enjoyed the concept of El Ciclo back in the day, plus its design was heavily inspired by one of my favourite architects so this feels like a personal blow...

I'm already very pessimistic about the global adoption of Unreal Engine, as I think it's being used as a way to devalue the long-term employees of companies that previously worked with proprietary engines by making them easily replaceable, but the performance analysis videos certainly aren't helping

The only thing I like about wplace so far is that it exposed me to a huge number of Splatoon nerds that apparently live in my area.

Obviously there's also a chance that they just picked a random Ukrainian city in the middle of nowhere to draw their OCs in, and that's somehow even weirder...

Finally got to play Devil Survivor, and I swear internet slang ruined so many older things for me...

Randomly picked up Caligula Effect 2 a few weeks ago and I'm so confused by how practically no one talks about this JRPG. Extremely unique combat, really progressive themes with a great cast of characters and amazing music. You would expect people to talk about it as much as they do with E33...

Still massively prefer Bluesky over Twitter, but god every time I open any big post on here the comments are always full of people with the worst case of "bean souping" and this just makes me not want to use it :/

That one screenshot of a post encouraging people to read books still haunts me...

Had to stop taking antidepressants without gradually decreasing the dose due to financial problems and now I feel like a baby that doesn't know how to walk, probably the worst case of vertigo and imbalance I ever experienced. I expected it to be bad, but not in this way lol

My 2025 in gaming so far, I started tons of games this year, but barely finished any, so it's kinda embarrassing (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠;⁠)

I genuinely feel like this might kill the game. Even Nintendo aren't going $80 for all of their games for now. The Outer Worlds 2 looks amazing from everything I've seen and I'm extremely excited about it, but I'm not sure if many people are willing to buy it at this price
The Outer Worlds 2 is a $80 game (as Microsoft confirmed last month there will be $80 games later this year) buff.ly/a8DCav6

Not sure what to think about Geoff Keighley hyping up 3 games made with Gazprom money during SGF yesterday. Just feels kinda yucky :/

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at its concept feels a lot like a Monolith Soft game. Only a couple of hours in, but it really reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The whole Gommage thing even sounds like something straight from that world. Really excited to see more of this game.

Oblivion Remaster is pretty good so far, feels like a huge graphical modpack you would see for Skyrim, bad UI and all.

There are some weird graphical problems (mostly with reflections), but overall it's a really nice upgrade and I hope it makes more people check out one of my favourite games.

Always had mixed feelings about Octopath games, they look nice and I see them being praised all the time, but for me character/companion interactions are one of the most important aspects in JRPGs and when it comes to this OT2 is nowhere near something like Chrono Trigger which is a shame..
Octopath Traveler II released two years ago.

Most might not agree with me, but I personally consider it on the same level as Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. It's a masterpiece.

It's one of my favorite games Square Enix games ever. I can't recommend it enough!

It bothers me a lot that so many people compare Avowed to Skyrim when it's actually just Dark Messiah of Might and Magic 2...

This world desperately needs more shorter JRPGs, really enjoyed first two Ys games for how "compact" they are, even though sometimes there was a bit too much backtracking for my liking

Hope this means we are getting new DQIV-DQVI remakes one day too. I was never a big fan of the first trilogy, but DQV is still one of my favourite games and it's a shame that the only readily available version we have is old mobile port (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)
According to Square Enix, the sales of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake exceeded expectations.

The Switch version in particular sold more than 75% of the copies in Japan.
