What are y'all playing?

I've been playing Persona 5 Royal! I'm absolutely loving it. It's my 3rd time trying to play and I think it's really clicked this time. Super excited to keep playing :)

I've been slowly finishing Xenosaga 3, I think I'm nearing the end. I'll hold my judgement for when I actually finish it, but I mostly enjoyed the series even if I'm a bit mixed on it.

I saw Haste while scrolling through Steam and decided to try it. I was sold on it from the demo, it looks and sounds really good and the movement is a lot of fun. The full game tho was quite the disappointment. It feels incomplete like a vertical slice, more than a full release.

The main game is composed of different levels, but each of them is structured as a roguelike and you don't keep items you buy between each level except upgrades you can buy (a la Hades). The items themselves change very little and the stages are fully randomly generated so they get repetitive very quickly. There's also an endless mode which is more fun to play, as you keep stacking items, but it suffers from the same lack of level design.

Now I'm playing Arknights Endfield and I'm enjoying it. I hate that it's a gacha, but it's pretty fun. The combat isn't the deepest but it's enjoyable; it kinda reminds me of Xenoblade. The same goes for the base/factory building: it's a very simple implementation of the system, but it's fun to set it up. Storywise, the writing isn't great and the translation is at times of dubious quality, but I wasn't expecting much.

Resident Evil 4 Remake with the Berserker MOD. It is brutal... Lovin it!

Playing Silksong. Knee-deep in act 2, or at least I think I am. I'm starting to see a lot of similarities between this game and Bloodborne (Team Cherry have never been afraid of saying how much they love FromSoft games, isn't it?)

Recently a gamed called Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the uncooked Schnitzel released and I originally wasn't gonna buy it because I thought it was gonna be a switch exclusive. Either way, I bought it when I found it is also on Steam. The trailer on steam and probably yt as well should tell you enough about this kinda silly game that I spent a few hours over the weekend playing.

I also started playing Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time on my steam deck since the disc copy I got keeps freezing in 2 PS3 consoles. First world in and I give it a yikes. The other games definitely had some probably slightly offensive stereotypes, but the 4th game opening up with a level called "Turning Japanese" and the way Rioichi speaks rubs me kinda wrong, despite it being a fun game.

Otherwise, I just got back into Slay The Spire and am still hate playing the Oaken Tower beta demo.

Edit: first game I listed came out January 18th. Made by a small German indie studio.

Final Fantasy Tactics! I'm going to really commit this time, I've been trying to beat this game since I was a kid. I never kept multiple saves and always locked my playthrough by saving in the wrong spot while under leveled.

I have recently finished my 4th playthrough of FFX and am now playing Final Fantasy IX for the first time. Blind, so far about 25 hours in and I'm liking it a lot. The more light-hearted, cartoony story style isn't usually my cup of tea, but the game is charming and despite a lot of junky writing, as is typical for Final Fantasy, I am emotioanlly invested in the future of these characters. The combat is also really nice and I like how well balanced and paced it is. I'd say it's on the harder side as Final Fantasies go. Still not hard, but just spicy enough for casual play. I'm looking forward to finishing it probably sometime this week.

Oh, and fuck tetra master.

Stick It To The Stickman. The janky controls are part of the charm, but they're also pretty frustrating.

I'm still on Baldurs Gate 3 and loving it

I've been replaying We Happy Few, almost done with Sally's act. I'm really looking forward to going through the DLCs again.
