Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo

This will be on the sleeper hits of the year. An incredible top-down Zelda game that feels great to play, has great music, and charming writing. You owe it to yourself to get Pipistrello-pilled.

Avowed (I played like 5 hours until I dropped it)

Awful game. I thought Obsidian making an Elder Scrolls game would be a slam dunk, but they created a world that has 0 simulation layers that make the ES games feel so alive. The straw that broke it for me was the insane upgrade system for weapons.

South of Midnight

This game goes to show that you can hide a really bad gameplay loop as long as you have a really solid style, good music, and keep it under 10 hours. I'll probably forget most of this game in a month but I enjoyed it while I played it.

Of course the one month I decide to give gamepass a shot, microsofts servers explode and prevent me from playing south of midnight.

Did you know 30% of microsofts code is written by AI btw.

Halfway through the year so here's some stuff I've been listening to, new releases on the top and older stuff at the bottom

Doom: The Dark Ages

After about 2 hours in, this game pretty much confirmed every fear I had about it. There’s too much story (especially for a fucking prequel!) and the new gameplay loop with the parries is so mind numbing. I have a lot more to say about it but it’s a big disappointment for me.

Spilled!

Very cute indie game about cleaning up a river. It’s 6 bucks and takes about an hour to beat. Amazing artwork as well.

Rift of the NecroDancer

Very glad they ditched the rougelite stuff and focused on making one of the most interesting rhythm games I've played. It's hard as hell but really fun to learn. There's also a really cute story mode with Rhythmheaven minigames.

Burnout Paradise Remastered

First time getting the burnout license and beating the game. I think I never did it before because the difficulty spike for the final license is kind of insane. Still very fun, they don't make em like this anymore.

Devil May Cry the netflix

Seeing Dante have to interact with the US government and Lady being an IDF member felt like being stabbed in the stomach. Dante basically acts like Nero, and him and Lady can't do anything without having constant trauma flashbacks. Whack.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (replay)

I could honestly go between this and Aria being my favorite Castlevania. The team mechanics work so well, and the portrait levels really give some variety to the areas. The part where you have to replay all the portraits at the end kind of sucks though.
