5 is def up there for me, think it's generally regarded as one of the best ones?

Have ya played let's find Larry? From the same dev, cool little game

I've noticed I've grown increasingly tired of games that force you to play a bunch of random minigames, especially if they're nothing like the core gameplay, like I'm not here to play a fps banjo tooie, I'm here to play a platformer

My guesses are sauna2000 and my summer car

Happy new year!

I wonder what platinum is even gonna do now, like I could see astral chain 2 around switch 2 launch, not sure how that'll be now, but otherwise? No idea tbh

Don't know if there's anything with the new one myself, just remember there being a whole thing with the old one when she was replaced, forgot how all that went down, other than it being a big shitshow

Writing has some bad stuff, but the real problem to me is more that the levels themselves tended to be bogged down with gimmick shit and then the enemies they have you fight just feel worse and more annoying to fight than anything, do remember ur kit being fun to use, just what you use it on sucks.

While it's true indie games weren't a big thing back then like now, game budgets and dev time weren't nearly as bloated, so we would get a lot more AA games and iterative sequels a year or two after the prior release

Instead of doing that, could have just had the blades been direct rewards for quests, exploration and the numerous boss monsters in the world, which they p much already do since you get the tickets for the rng machine from it, but would have felt way more rewarding if it just cut that out

Like yeah there's nothing scummy cause you can't give em money for it, but it still fucks the game up in other ways. Locking essentially new subclasses tied to party members with their own quests behind a slot machine just doesn't feel good

Damn, what the fuck
