It’s all good unless Miquella shows up halfway through this blabbing about some new order nonsense while spamming light and shit. #onimusha #gaming

I should note however that this is my first Onimusha game. I’m sort of familiar with the franchise and I did sort of play the first two when I was very young but I barely remember if I even beat those. I can’t really do any comparison, so I’ll just say again that I’m having a good time. #gaming

Really enjoying the combat system, as expected. Playing on Action difficulty and it’s perfectly doable while being moderately challenging. The base mobs could try a bit harder, while the bosses are much more fun to play with I know Carnage diff is gonna be painful though (complimentary). #gaming

I feel like I’m being sort of tricked into playing a well-disguised AAA game with actually good gameplay, but I gotta say I’m having a great time with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Greatly enjoying the combat system and monster design as well. #gaming

Having fun with Onimusha but having the HP bar in yellow and the stamina/posture bar in red is degenerate design, literally unplayable. Cool game so far btw. #gaming

And here I thought I was going to play Onimusha later this month. Well played, @argonautgames.com, looks like I'm gonna play it now so I can then play the *real* game. #gaming

Very specific but I also liked how I didn’t find the game to be overwhelmingly big and long. It’s not a short game, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Good pacing and knows when it’s time to end. As I said, easy recommend if you like Metroidvania-platformers. #gaming

Fairly challenging but not as hard at all as the aforementioned HK -a bit trickier if you’re going for the platinum due to requiring both a “no heal” and a “no death” run, the former being the annoying one (just pressing the heal button can void the trophy). It’a doable, just be careful. #gaming

Finished and got the plat for Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus. It’s a solid Metroidvania-platformer, heavily inspired by Hollow Knight in some parts. Easy recommend if you like this kind of games. Great aesthetics and atmosphere as well. #gaming

I tried to beat Castlevania on the NES and I got my a** served back to me. Gone are the days where I could do it, so my reasonable reaction has been "Fu*k you I'm gonna make a Castlevania rip off which I can actually beat!" "Spite" is the most powerful game engine. #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

I'm quite tired of Adobe syphoning money out of my existence. Is Affinity still good even after the Canva takeover?I've been quite out of the loop in the last few months... because reasons so I'm genuinely surprised that Affinity is now one big app. #graphicDesign

Hollow Knight’s Delicate Flower quest has done irreparable damage to the Metroidvania genre. #gaming

Started playing Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus. Visually stunning, knows its inspirations very well gameplay-wise and builds on it, very fun to play so far, great music and atmosphere. Unless I'm missing something, why isn't this game more popular? It's really good. #gaming

I know it's not a "what was your first game" post but in my case they kind of overlap. Some of my earliest memories are related to NES games. It's easy to say SMB3 (and it wouldn't be wrong), but Faxanadu and The Guardian Legend still influence me today when it comes to taste and *making* games.

Got the platinum for Vampire Crawlers yesterday. While it can get brutal at times, it’s generally fast, not too challenging, satisfying, and fun. Loved it, not as peak as its Survivors daddy, but still a very valid take on the bullet-heaven genre. Still no vampires though! #gaming

Regardless of the season, any episode involving ghost-types, especially the original trio, is automatically peak in my book.

Like this was my real first exposition to Pokémon and I thought this Gastly was going to be a major recurring OP character. He's still one my of fav to 20+ years later because of this. Pretty fun ep as well, I feel like back then the writers had more room to be creative with this IP.

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Anyone remember that early Pokémon episode where there was this talking Gastly impersonating an actual ghost because of the love of the game and then kicking everyone's ass with shapeshifting abilities? This was the first episode of the anime I've ever saw btw, imagine that. Still love it.

With that said, not all bosses are bad ofc. And bosses aside, there's effort put into this game, movesets, environments, etc. but there are so many metaphorical off-key notes that made the experience quite frustrating. Still, if you're a soulsy bitch like me, yeah go play this have fun.

010

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I'm quite disappointed. I do have other issues with the game but they're not as bad as this one. Overall it's not terrible, but my experience with its boss design has been boring and needlessly frustrating. I have no problem with cheesing, every win is a win, but it shouldn't be so common.

110

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Git gud yes and I don't want to bash them all. The bosses do look the part and they're cool, but it's just not clear to me what kind of game we're playing sometimes. Also, every time I look for strategies, 99% of the time is about CHEESING them. Not a game for the lactose intolerants.

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Most of these big bad idiots also seem to have in their DNA some of the most questionable choices FROM made for their own (mostly recent) bosses, such as Malenia healing herself on hit even when not dealing damage, being overly aggressive, too many HPs, unclear tells, etc.

100

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

This could be a skill issue yes but most of the bosses in this game seems to be overtuned, dealing massive damage, too many HPs, and the correct response to the fights is not always clear to me. They seem to punish most of your defensive AND offensive options, from dodging to being aggressive.

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Still playing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. I like the gameplay: it's soulsly obviously but there's some flashiness to your moveset that's quite interesting. However, while I was initially quite positive about the whole thing, I got issues with this game, especially the bosses. #gaming

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I can and do also see however this as a reward for, well, enduring the tension (and not dying) that came with the exploration before the climatic fight, relax and focus on this big challenge now, so yes you can tell I'm a little torn about this.

010

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

On the other, it's like the game got scared by its own design choices and tried to have it both ways, one of the ways being essentially “your reward is… not playing part of the game.”.

110

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Don't get me wrong: on one hand, this is a VERY welcome addition for players who feel ready to face the challenge -and, in general, most runbacks are uninteresting and uneventful, borderline padding, negative content at worst.

100

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

In fact, Wuchang sort of backpedals on the tension that comes with this kind of exploration and, if you reach the boss and you lose, it simply gives you the choice to toss the very long runback out of the window to retry the challenge immediately.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers giving players the option to immediately restart a boss fight, saving the players the runbacks typical of this genre.

100

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

What I find interesting in Wuchang is that its level design harkens way back to Demon's Souls: large areas with just one bonfire usually surrounded by shortcuts. My issue with this is that I've never been a big fan of how this was handled in Demon’s and this still rings true in Wuchang. #gaming

Seeek @seeklest.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Late to the party but I'm liking Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Pretty solid gameplay. One thing I despise however is the quick item tab, where your "Estus" is, being on that small-ass compass (bottom-right corner). Not a bad idea per se but it's barely readable for me. The rest is fine so far. #gaming

Clowning Sony is good, it's a duty, they're absolutely terrible, but I feel like the Wolverine game is collateral damage that's getting caught in the crossfire. It's not great, but the reception it's getting feel more guided by the current sentiment. #gaming

The movie is simply called The Legend of Zelda. It's one big mix of Zelda imagery from the last 40 years. This could either end well or become The Mario Movie again, which isn't that bad but hopefully it's not just one big stuffed commercial. The tone will make it or break it. #NintendoDirect

Playing this. It's cute. Locked at 30fps on consoles for some reason, but still cute and the shield gimmicks are cool. The problem is that it's an open world where almost every activity is a generally uninteresting side-mission. I'll keep playing it... but I don't get it. It's fine tho. #gaming

There are leaks about a big Sony announcement coming tomorrow. I personally think Sony is actually addressing an ongoing gas leak in their HQ which would also explain the bullshit they’ve been doing this gen. #gaming

The audacity of Croc to have time trials for every stage (there are like 30 stages in total, including bosses and special ones). Crash Bandicoot's are a piece of cake compared to what I'm going through. I blame my trophy-hunting for this. #gaming #retrogaming

The fact that you can simply talk to GPT Astra and it shits whatever you asked for means that everyone will forget how to use a PC in like 5 years or so. As a person who worked in a municipal office I can assure you that's pretty common already but this time is a traumatic generational Big Bang.

In the GPT ASTRA video one guy is making a videogame. GPT makes it for him with vague prompts about rockets and asteroids. How can a Star Trek-like assistant feel so bland and foreboding is beyond me. We used to dream for stuff like this, turns out it’s a cold souless nightmare. #indiedev #gamedev
