Hopefully by then they do some quality of life on the busywork. I think there's a touch too much and it makes doing all the routes a bit of a slog at times. I love the game and the characters but it's just so slow at times when you're in Dagsion.

I'm almost done with my third route of Fortune's Weave and I don't know if I got the strength for the fourth, thinking I'll just do Part 2 + 3 and save the fourth route for when the DLC eventually drops so that I have a reason to come back and sink my teeth into the game again.

Finished Part 1 of Dietrich's route in Fortune's Weave and wow, I genuinely found it to be really good! I love all the characters and the story was fun. Doing Leda's route next but honestly I think Dietrich and his friends are gonna be in my head for a while.

dietrich route is goated, the haters don't understand that all of them grow and evolve with EACH OTHER and because of each other.

#49 - Star Wars Zero Company I really enjoyed it! The writing was the real standout here but the gameplay was solid as well. Some of the enemy animations take waaayyyy too long though. Would definitely be super down to play a sequel if it kept this quality.

They don't make games like Saints Row 2 anymore.

#48 - Big Walk We successfully walked big. The puzzles were fun and it was enjoyable with my friends. Really recommend it.

One thing that really stuck out to me while playing Tokyo Xanadu is that I sorta miss the way that Falcom games looked around this time. The models were very charming and they did some fun stuff with 'em. I think the new games are gorgeous (although still way too long) but I miss some of the charm.

#47 - Tokyo Xanadu eX+ It's kinda funny I hadn't played this at all considering I worked on the Switch re-release but I did finally find some time to sit down and play it. I think it's a very enjoyable game, even if the gameplay itself kinda wanes in the latter portion. Fun story and characters.

#46 - Red Beard I wasn't sure what to think going in but I wasn't expecting a film that is strongly about the human condition and the emotions we carry within us. It's bleak and depressing at times but also uplifting in others. Beautiful film.

Maybe. I think it would've been fine to launch Twilight Princess today to tide people over until OOT remake launches in November. I'm not sure the HD variants will ever come at this point, tbh. It'd be nice but I think they're prolly just gonna slap TP on NSO at some point and call it a day.

Matthew Finch @mrcoolmanist.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Laughing how they were like LOOK AT ALL THESE ZELDA GAMES YOU CAN PLAY ON SWITCH!! and it's pretty much every single mainline one except Twilight Princess in the list. I'm genuinely shocked they didn't use that to announce Twilight Princess on NSO.

Ace Combat Online in Ace Combat 8 looks like it's gonna consume my life like Deadlock, holy shit. The co-op stuff is SO cool.

#45 - Challengers The two dudes should've gotten married at the end. They would've been significantly happier that way.

#44 - VHOLUME Neat little platforming game with so many time trials that I will never beat (I got all the silver ones at least!) Wanted to support the devs especially after one of them contributed to my favorite shooter of the last few years, STRAFTAT.

#43 - Denshattack! A pretty fun game with a charming cast of characters and insanely good soundtrack. Wasn't really sure what I was gonna think of it for the first few hours but I feel like once you get out of the initial two regions, it really picks up.

#42 - The Hidden Fortress I actually quite enjoyed it! I thought the duel scenes were incredible, especially for their time, and the story wasn't too shabby either. Can understand a bit better why my dad was Kurosawa obsessed.

#40 - Fallen Aces: Episode 2 Genuinely really good. Episode 1 was awesome back when I played it a few years ago but Episode 2 felt like a step up. The feel of the levels was great and the story took some interesting turns. New Blood don't miss.

#38 - Resident Evil Outbreak File #1 Played it in co-op with some of my close friends and it was an enjoyable experience. I had played the first half of the game many a time but this was the first time I've ever done the back half. That final level was INTENSE.

Keith Silverstein as Keyes is great casting, and the new Johnson VA, Keston John, is quite good. I wish they had a bit more to work with in the main campaign. I do find some of the new line reads to be a bit odd but it's whatever. Some of the cutscenes are really good too!

If there's one thing I'll give the Halo remake is that once you turn off chromatic aberration and film grain along with some other tweaks, it's downright gorgeous. Also runs surprisingly well. I just wish there was... more to it? With no PvP MP I wish they added Firefight or something more.

#37 - Halo: Campaign Evolved CE was a generational game, and while I don't think the remake improves upon it in any amazing way, it's still fun. The new missions were pretty good too! Just makes me wish there was multiplayer.
