Finished Dragon Age: Inquisition! Interesting ending. Got me excited for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Dropped The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It was fun, but then it stopped being fun. May visit it again some day, when I am in a correct headspace for the game.
Started Borderlands 3 (on PS5), played just a little bit yet, liked the gunplay and combat, haven’t made up my mind on the rest of the game.
Still playing Horizon Chase Turbo, nothing new to add there.
Finished Golf Story. It was a nice little game. I started it thinking it of as an RPG-lite, but it wasn’t much of RPG. There were quests and leveling up, but most game have some kind of leveling up these days. I would just consider it a narrative sports games.
Started Hades. I am not a roguelike (or roguelite) fan, have never finished any, even though I have tried a few, so not sure how long I’ll play this, but liking it so far. Have reached Elysium in over a dozen tries, not sure what kind of player that makes me. I am best with bow, shooting from far. Going to continue this for a while at least.
Also started Valkyria Chronicles, makes a good combo with Hades. A turn-based narrative game vs an action roguelike. In Chapter 4, which has the first big mission.
Phew, that was lots of games.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
What do people think of playing a remake/remaster of a game you’ve already played the original of? Like one of the Switch Zelda remakes when you played it on GB/Wii, or Paper Mario when you played the GC version? Personally, I just don’t feel like buying the game again, even it’s been 20 years since I last played it, because I know I’ll remember parts of it and won’t have that feeling of playing a great game for the first time. Is that just a me thing, or a more widespread attitude?
I don’t necessarily think remakes are a bad thing, since it gives people a chance to play classics that they missed.
Depends on the game. I rarely play games again, specially any narrative one, so I generally don’t buy any remakes etc. But if you do want to play the game again, then getting the remake can be good way to revisit it, with modern controls and QoL updates.
There can be exceptions though, for instance, Final Fantasy VII remake is so different, it’s worth playin IMO. Also I bought multiple copies of Skyrim, mainly so that I can play it on Switch / handheld, but that was less getting a remaster, and more getting a portable version.
I mainly like remake / remasters for the games that I missed the original of, gives me a chance to play them again.
