I hate to admit it, but today from 5 AM to 8 AM, I was playing the card game Tycoon that arrived on P5X. It’s insanely addictive, and I’m actually winning quite a lot, which makes it even more addictive.
I’m kind of hoping I’ll get bored of it once I reach the highest rank.😅

I watched Del Toro’s Frankenstein — visually stunning, with beautiful design, locations, and music. But the story didn’t hit me as much as it did in the book. Victor was an arrogant jerk I couldn’t sympathize with, making him the real monster, unlike the more ambiguous book. Victor’s descent ➡️

You can see a bit of a downgrade in OT0’s visuals compared to OT2, but most areas still look great. The music is fantastic. Combat feels the same, so it’s great. The town-building/restoration stuff didn’t really grab me, and swapping 8 protagonists for a silent MC doesn’t feel very “Octopath”.

I hardly ever play platformers, and Wonder is the first Mario game I’ve ever finished. And it was great! An incredible whirlwind of ideas and clever design. The only things I’d criticize are the lower variety of boss fights and the fact that the game didn’t push me more to switch badges.

Yeah, it was really nice — they had there artwork from P3R and Metaphor. I was secretly hoping they might already have a playable P4 Revival, but you could only play P3R.

By coincidence, I happened to be on vacation in Busan during the G-Star event. Krafton, NCSoft, and Netmarble dominated, but there were also a few non-Korean exhibitors.

We took down Bastion in Arc Raiders with two randoms. I was kinda worried there’d be some fight over the loot, but we just split it peacefully. Really nice moment — love that people in this game are usually chill and respectful.

I would never want to be asked which FF is my favorite, but if it came up, Tactics would be a candidate. An amazing story about corruption, power, idealism versus pragmatism, and how winning can sometimes mean losing. The post-credits scene really hit me. The best TRPG I've ever played in every way.

Yesterday we finished the co-op campaign of Portal 2 (DLC included) – the puzzles are even more fun than in single-player, and GLaDOS is as brilliantly sarcastic as ever. Peak level design. Teamwork-wise, probably the best I’ve played (physics-based logic with a focus on coordination suits me well).

#PacificDrive – it’s nice to be back!
The only problem is remembering the controls after all this time. I picked up what was probably an important story-related audiotape, and instead of putting it in my inventory, I made a big swing and threw it into the woods. Never found it again.

I’m replacing skill with perseverance :)
An amazing game, one of the best of the year. I’ve got so much to say about it that it’d turn into a very long thread, so I’ll let it sit for a bit and come back to writing about Silksong later.

It was a long journey, but I got to Act 3 in Silksong and I’m completely amazed. It feels crazy that Team Cherry hid something like that after the credits. An incredible game, even though it’s really hard for me—the longer I play it, the more I love it.

Valor Mortis test impression – it’s fine, but I have an issue with the 1st person view. Sometimes I had trouble noticing enemies coming from the side. Otherwise, it played well, with a satisfying parry and something like Bloodborne’s rally. Visually nice, gore fans will enjoy it.
I died a lot.

I made it to the top of the mountain today! Considering that just two weeks ago I couldn’t even land a single pogo jump, I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come.
The platforming in Silksong is super hard for me and takes forever, but that just makes it even more satisfying when I finally pull it off.

One of the games I envied PS1 owners the most. It finally arrived 😊.
I may already have four games in progress, but a fifth one is about to be added.

Shakra isn’t just a cool singer, but also a cool fighter. She completely smashed this little fly in about half the number of hits it takes me. Too bad she can’t go everywhere with me.

Justice for All looks like the first Phoenix Wright and plays the same. Case quality is uneven — the last one was amazing, but I had to force myself through the second-to-last. The great soundtrack returns. Humor is sometimes awesome, sometimes a bit cringe.

A small gaming break in the Dolomites. Even though I’m not a big fan of mobile gaming, I’m finding that some activities in Persona Phantom X (like combat) actually work quite well on a phone.

P5X: first treasure stolen, first heart changed. I’m not a fan of gacha games — in fact, I’ve never played one before…
So far, I’m surprised by the production quality — there might even be more animated cutscenes here than in P5R. The music, art style, and sound effects all feel just the same.

I went with Golden Deer and was surprised at how quickly people saw through my choice :D
Enjoy the game!

Playing RDR2 for the first time. It still looks absolutely beautiful.

Despelote is a game about childhood and sports fandom. Although it takes place in Ecuador and centers around the World Cup qualification, it reminded me of my own growing up in the ’90s and the national obsession with hockey during the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.➡️

Finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune yesterday. You can already tell a bit of the age in the gameplay, the jet ski level was kind of a little hell. I expected the story from Naughty Dog to be a bit better, but the characters were well-written, Nathan is a really likeable guy.
