Is there a good example of a party-based action RPG that actually uses the party in a good, cohesive way? At the moment my two examples are FF7 Remake and Xenoblade 3, which still relies on the AI and swapping characters. Feels like they're all still behind turn-based games in this specific field.

I think minimaps in RPGs with smaller, linear levels completely exposes the hallways for what they are and automates movement. They should take away the minimap and force you to see what's really in front of you. Even games I really liked (like SMT4) are hurt by the minimap.

Marathoned through Orbitals in one sitting with @super493x.bsky.social, took around 5-6 hours. Very cool game! While it doesn't have as crazy setpieces as a game like It Takes Two, I think the shorter length helps immensely for co-op sessions and it's super charming anyway. Cool, clever design.

Metroid 1 is something I've learned to appreciate more and more as time goes on. The world is small enough to internally map out even without pen and paper (though that is easier), and it is by far the most open game in the series. It's still not in my top half in rankings, but I really like it now.

If you lose a player because they're bored, they're very likely not coming back to play your game and it fades from memory. If you lose a player because it's overwhelming and outside the comfort zone, there's at least a greater chance they may return to try again.

Very happy with Metroid and Kirby plus the Age of Calamity update (but $30 is really fucking steep) with Star Fox and Mario Kart (this in particular is kinda thin though) updates. But there's also not a lot of new games outside of Bloober's game (which at least looks interesting). It's okay overall.

Man I do not like how the Ocarina of Time remake looks as a whole. Already was down on the idea but this is extra uncanny. Also no other games like a multiplayer project? That's also pretty disappointing.

Evil Lucario @evillucario.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

State of Play was pretty abysmal. Konami and retro games hard carried with everything else being known quantities or not even video games. Just felt insanely barren outside of those. I typically try to be positive with shows but this is one of the worst first-party shows in a long while.

It's not on N64 like I wanted (thanks stick drift) but I finally got my No Damage run for Sin and Punishment with a monstrous 97.8m score! Still super happy with this run, will take Hard Mode grinding much more casually this time as I play other games, but man. What a run! youtu.be/QIe-S4BtBbI

Gunstar Super Heroes is such a fascinating specimen of a game because technically, it's a sequel to Gunstar Heroes. In practice though, it's also a pseudo remake that rehashes everything from the original but minor changes. It's not really that original.

Revisiting Astro's Playroom in 2026 is bittersweet. Originally an exciting look into the future of PlayStation, it now feels like empty promises where games just don't meaningfully use the PS5 features like activity cards, leaderboards, and the DualSense (of which is dubious in hindsight).

One of the biggest, immediate benefits of 4K resolution is really good split-screen so I'm really happy with this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update. It's going to be a great way to get so many people playing at once.

Honestly I think Sin and Punishment 1 is now my favorite game of all time. After digging into the speedrunning scene and getting my Turbo run and hiscore runs, it just reinforces my love for the game and that's not even counting all the side projects I have for the game. Time to update my top 25.

Finished Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS couple days ago! Cute little game that I quite enjoyed, but not as much as RE4-6. It's sadly compromised between all-out action and trying to be "scary", but otherwise it's an enjoyable romp. That story is fucking hysterical though lmfao.

Evil Lucario @evillucario.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

The worst part is that its N64 emulation is absolute doodoo and still unacceptably bad. NSO can unironically compete with RetroArch on N64 despite my own criticisms of that as well. Ares is the best one to use by far if you don't have a MiSTer FPGA.

Duskbloods CNT is really fun. Didn't get to win a match but I came close at 2nd place. Not very good at it but it's still pretty cool. They gotta iron out the input latency and performance though. Locked 30 in handheld and unstable 60 docked isn't as good as I'd hope for.

Digging more into Sin and Punishment 1 scoring is weird for me because it both made me rank it higher and lower than Star Successor in more ways. 1 is much more cohesive and everything clicks into place where they should, but Star Successor has absolutely stellar setpieces but is not as cohesive.

Evil Lucario @evillucario.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Doing research for Star Successor scoring and uh... the fact they have last-second bonuses for killing bosses right before the end is... really dumb. I REALLY hope the bonus is not super huge and I can ignore it in favor of speedkilling for a bigger time bonus.

I never felt like I had the skills to effectively TAS games, but Sin and Punishment is the game that I feel like I want to try TASing once and for all. Even with all my score runs, there's so much I don't actually understand about the game like how RNG works, how precise scoring is calculated, etc.

Going to bed mad because I'm trying for a no damage run on N64 in order to break my 92.2m PB but on console, but I haven't made it out of 1-2 except for one time that immediately died to 2-2. The sleep trick is gonna work for sure...

One more for the road. Literally got hit once this run, best run I've ever done in my life but because I got hit once, I lost 508,500 points. I guess we're running it back...
