Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. I continue to sink most of my free time plowing through Persona 5 Royal. Also a little Balatro on my phone on the side. Hope you all have a good week!

Finished Metroid Prime 4. My verdict is, if you’re someone who’s already a fan of the Prime series, you’ll find it enjoyable. However, I don’t think it’s going to win over many new fans. If you haven’t played/aren’t aware of the lore of the prior Prime games then the main antagonist will feel forced and arbitrary. The hub world is a mixed bag; from a world building perspective, it makes way more sense to have these various biomes separated by a vast desert than taking elevators from one to the other. It does get dull though, and there’s some late game find/fetch quests in the desert that are very needle in a haystack. Combat is good, and while most of the psychic abilities are just mechanics from prior games with “psychic” in front of it, the psychic control beam was super satisfying. I wish there were more opportunities to use it.

Still working on gold staking all the jokers in Balatro, I have ten left. Of course, most of them are the PITA ones to win with like diet cola and invisible joker.
