Yeah, I couldn't finish Dragonfall because of combat fatigue. Returns was nice though.
IIRC, I think Returns, Persona 1, and South Park: The Stick of Truth are the only turn-based RPGs I actually beat.

I'm replaying Devil May Cry 2… man, this game is putting me to sleep 😂 I don't even know how to describe it… it's like playing a pre-alpha build of a DMC game made by people forced to develop it at gunpoint. Always a surreal experience.
Game's awesome. I won't say the combat is the deepest, but I've seen some unfair criticisms from action game fans.
Like, it's not exactly a combo simulator, but you can absolutely do touch-of-death combos on most enemies, and there are ways to work through shields quicker.
Game's mechanically deeper than most people think, I think. Definitely some replay value there.
I only tried Lovable. You can hook it up with a Github repo and do whatever you want with the code.
He should go lie in bed for a couple of years at least. I can't imagine having to deal with Tekken fans for as long as he did.
Unrelated, but I've been randomly uttering "Who watches the watchmen?" to myself for a few days now and I haven't even interacted with Watchmen in at least a year and a half.
Brazil, keep Jonathan Pryce.
It's one of those games where the power level is so high that almost the entire roster is viable. You really can't go wrong with any of the 3 characters you named. All powerhouses in different ways.
4 was so good, TBH, which is kinda weird because 3 was the worst.
In a hypothetical three-layer scenario:
- Highest rated games, regardless of genres. (RDR2, The Last of Us, Portal… etc.)
- Highest rated games, that happen to belong to my favorite genres. (Bayonetta, GGPR, Hi-Fi Rush… etc.)
- Games that belong to my favorite genres, but aren't necessarily highly rated. (Hellsinker., Soulstice, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax etc.)
Highest rating doesn't guarantee I'll like anything in layer 1, and not every game in layer 3 ends up being good enough. Layer 2 is the happy middle ground and the highest chance of finding games I'll enjoy.
+R mentioned, nice
Ayyy, let's go. Who do you main?
Is this an ad for Backloggd?
On a serious note, there's a happy middle ground between my favorite genres and the highest rated games, and this is typically where I have the best experience.
Examples: Bayonetta, Guilty Gear Plus R, or more recently: Hi-Fi Rush.

Incredible demo and one of my all-time favorite records: Maleficarum's Demo '97 from Perugia, Italy
(media.piefed.social)
Italy may not have the same track record as Finland or Sweden, but bands like Cenotaph, Catacomb, Electrocution, and Maleficarum produced incredible, albeit limited, output that rivals Scandinavian greats, IMO.
This demo is melodic exactly when it needs to be, aggressive when it needs to be, impressively consistent, and envelopes me like a living, breathing wave of darkness every time I listen to it.
It's not on any streaming service AFAIK, but someone uploaded a copy on YT, and you can always of course find it on Soulseek.

Three of the best albums of all-time, but WTF are these Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V covers 😂

Kinda odd Steam doesn't have a PvPvE tag, TBH.
