PS2 Backlog Committee

That one was much-hyped as a PS2 hidden gem. I think I played the demo (or maybe I grabbed the actual game?) but it didn't click with me for whatever reason.

New games this week: Where Winds Meet (Xbox Series X/S) Solarpunk (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PC) Bellwright (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S) NBA The Run (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC) Voidling Bound (PC) 33 Immortals (Xbox Series X/S, PC) Crushed In Time (PC) Frog Sqwad (Xbox S...

The perspective is of an isometric, top-down view, which was the biggest fundamental difference in this and its muse. It worked fine in terms of the overall look; however, some of the drama of opening a new door is lost here since you can see over walls. That tension is a big part of the fun of Res...

The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Control Resonant all release in Sept. I'm saving my MS rewards for Dawnwalker (vampire open world RPG from one of the main devs who worked on Witcher 3), and I'll wait on the other 2 for a price drop. Still, nasty month - those are just the 3...

argyle, very glad you're digging CD so much. I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same whenever I get to it. Are you grinding levels or classes or both? Levels. Just wanted to get everyone in the 40s, which didn't take long. (I had changed some classes a while back.) I beat what I think was the final boss ...

Played recently: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Finished: nothing Added to backlog: Unicorn Overlord I'm nearing the end of DQ3... doing some grinding before the last boss. It's a great game, no doubt! But I don't think I'm going to go for plat. I haven't been using a guide so I have no clue which mi...

Thanks for the word on that one. I've been tempted a few times in PSN sales, based on the positive reviews/recommendations I've seen, but it doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

I dunno man, that mushroom looks like he's raising hell!

In addition to some oddities outside the mainstream, I have gone back to an oldie (relatively speaking) but goodie in Spelunky. I've put about 30 hours into it since starting it back up after a decade. Still as fun as it always was, and still as punishing. But it's so easy to jump in and have a qui...
