Finished Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, last couple of levels were pretty tough, needing very twitchy reflexes, but finally beat it!

Octopath Traveller is still not available to buy... so,

Bought and started Axiom Verge, the game is an obvious love letter to Metroid / Super Metroid, but it's not a straight copy, the powers, weapons and level designs are it's own, with many QoL updates and way more accessible for modern audience.

For instance there is a save point near every boss (don't remember if Metroid had those), and if you die, you don't lose any progress since last save, instead you go back to save location but keep all the progress.

No wonder the game is loved so much.

What about all of you? What have you been playing lately?

Finished Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights!

Early impressions in my previous post.

Overall a really good game, but it subscribes to the Hollow Knight "style" of Metroidvanias - dying is a constant part of the game, with some of the bosses and exploration sections in the latter half being frustratingly difficult.

I finished the game with 100% of the items, which besides a small number of tricky platforming sections was surprisingly easy to get. I also got all three endings.

Playing Another Code: Recollection!

I think it's been almost 20 years since I played the DS version of the first game (Trace Memory), so I barely remembered anything about it. Which I guess is a good thing, because this remake does NOT have an option to start from the sequel.

The first game is a short (~5h) but fun point-and-click adventure. Puzzles aren't as novel nowadays as they were back in the DS, but still solid, and the remake has a nice visual facelift, though there's some inconsistency in quality with some environmental textures looking distractingly low-res. The story revolves around a girl named Ashley and the ghost of a boy nicknamed "D" who team up to explore a mansion in an isolated island trying to solve mysteries relating to Ashley's family and find out the circunstances around "D"'s death.

I'm now playing the second game and so far it's a bit underwhelming. :/ One of the main issues is that the game lacks focus - the first game immediately gives you a good reason to go into the mansion and explore, while the second one has you doing seemly random stuff for a few chapters before you start seeing what the plot will be about. Another issue is that the areas are bigger but empty, so there's a lot more running around going from one place to another.

I finished Chapter 5 of the second game, which I think is around the midpoint? Expect to finish this one either today or tomorrow but we'll see.

Hmm... that "frustratingly difficult" thing sounds... frustrating...

How long is the second Another Code game? About same as the first one?

Just finished it.

It's not much longer, took me around 5h for the first game and 6h for the second one.

Ah okay. I can probably play this soon-ish then.
