iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I haven't touched a Castlevania game in yonks so diving into this will be a welcome change of pace. The box art looks phenomenal too 🦇

Completing four separate routes + paralogues just to get to the main event is a recipe for player burnout. 😬 It’s great that you got a front row seat through your wife’s playthrough, the story really takes off in the later acts!

I appreciate the ambition of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, but the sheer volume of mechanics thrown at you (even into part 3) is dizzying. I'm seeing it through to the credits, though it’s going to be impossible to recommend this to anyone 🤪

There's absolutely zero heterosexual explanation for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and that’s why it’s peak anime

Permadeath just claimed 95% of my brain cells from the intensive renown grind + back to back arena training, but all four routes and paralogues are finally conquered! Part 2, here we go! 🔥

Defeating the ancient evil? Sorry, can’t. I have to spend the next four hours eating 120 identical fish and vegetable dishes with my units so they’re motivated enough to learn how to ride a pegasus 🤪

I agree with everything you said, the massive scope of this game actually hurts it. FW is also incredibly unforgiving to blind playthroughs, locking the true ending behind a frustrating amount of easily missable quests which I'm not a fan of

That actually makes sense. The game is marathon as it is, can't treat it like Pokémon (though I’m always wondering whether my team will actually hold up later...) 😆

Sounds sensible. I'll probably stick to that strategy going forward to protect my mental peace 🤭

To everyone playing FE Fortune's Weave: are you actually bothering with late part 1 recruits? I’m hearing their base stats are awful and their growths just don't scale well for the late game

My brain trying to manage the Dagsion calendar, dungeon crawl, recruit new units, and win a tactical war in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. It’s a total identity crisis of a game, but it's definitely taking over my life

When I flew the nest, I left my GameCube collection at my parents' house. Do you know what that means? It means my copy of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures is rotting in a dark cupboard while I rawdog existential dread without a lunch box shaped console to comfort me

Good. I can't wait to see if the sales numbers look as distorted and glitchy as their new art

Right? I can't seem to put it down, Culdcept is seriously addictive. Let us know what you make of it 🙂

Hard to take the art critiques seriously when the monster designer (Satoshi Matsuura) for Legend of Mana and Mother 3 is the one who illustrated this entire game. I mean, just look at this Cait Sith 😻

Cheaper 32GB carts are a huge win for indie devs. Too bad AAA studios would rather die than pay for a cartridge that holds the whole game and makes the fan base happier. Profits over people, always 🙄

I love how indie devs keep breathing new life into classic genres. No shortage of innovation in the scene, people just need to start paying more attention 😊

Japanese GameCube game cases were the best. Not practical for durability, but highly collectible nonetheless! 🤌

I'm fully aware once you post things online they’re permanent, but you don’t have to quantify it for me. Seeing my skeets get saved feels less like a bookmark and more like someone starting a file on me... 🫥

I suppose the silver lining is that's he's been very open about it, so we can now avoid their games like the plague 🙄

since my other half isn't the biggest fan, and that can take away from the experience a little. Fingers crossed it does well enough so Shapefarm can make more immersive games in this style! 9/10 💫

Just finished Orbitals and despite the breathtaking retro aesthetic, I have some minor grievances: - Narrative arc needs more fleshing out - Later chapters demand nigh flawless synchronisation - Way too short! I'd love to revisit it with someone who harbours a deeper appreciation for classic anime

Apologies for the peak first world problem whinging, but paying for home repairs is painful when your brain instantly translates the cost into "that’s literally three JRPGs and a collector's edition"

Learning that Level-5, one of my favourite developers are leaning so heavily into AI is incredibly heartbreaking. I'm tired of this technology polluting and diluting my favourite hobby. I used this form to send some direct feedback, and I urge you to do the same: secure.level5.co.jp/inquiry/othe...

Well said. The PS1 is living proof of that as it had some incredible 2D sprite games, and I totally agree that the push for 3D felt premature. It’s pretty cool how simpler games are making a big comeback now. Better late than never, hey!

I've never owned an N64 either! That's not to say the OG Ocarina of Time isn't great, a game *can be* both fun and fugly 🤣
