Stuck at the next boss in Darksiders 3. It’s a very gimmiky boss. First half is simple-ish, though not actually easy, but when you get the boss’ health to half, it moves into phase two, which is under water fight. The gimmick is to swim and bring the homing bombs / mines to the boss, but only when it is sucking in the water, which happens after a specific series of attack, and meanwhile you have to make sure the bombs don’t hit you. Having trouble here, took me quite a while to clear the first phase, and can’t get the proper hang of second phase.
All the skills I have learned in the game, and the “git gud” (gitten gud?) I have done doesn’t matter cause of this gimmicky fight, which is annoying. If I drop this game, this is probably where I’ll do it.
Reached Arabaia in Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Doing the dungeon right now. Should be halfway through the area.
Tom Clancy’s The Division: Did all the missions till level 16, time to do some side missions to level up before doing the next missions. I would love a single-player, non-ubisoft-design game in the world of Division. The world building, the visuals, the gameplay (other than spongy enemies) and even the UI, all are pretty good. Just not a big fan of the live service style of game.
Doing the last chapter of Campaign in Hard West. Still have the prequel chapter, and 4 side chapters left though. Prioritizing this now, as I want to start Pokopia after I am done with it. It will probably still take a week or so.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Playing Trails Beyond the Horizon!
Finished Rean Route 3 and Kevin Route 3, and now going through Van Route 6. Looks like these are the last parts of their individual routes and after that we go for the final chapter.
I’m quite disappointed by how short Kevin’s route was. I was hyped to have him as a playable character again after all these years, but he has the shortest route by far (his last chapter is just two short maps and a two boss battles, doesn’t even have a second city to explore like Rean’s), and he struggles with the weakest of the three teams as well (Swin really needs a buff).
At least his story beats were good. He and the Picnicking Front have a good dynamic, and it also includes some major reveals that I’ll discuss in a spoiler section after I finish the game. Though I’m curious where they’re going with his character building, he seems to have somewhat “regressed” to how he was before Sky 3 - and even his party members are constantly calling him out on that.
Rean’s route was also on the short side, but that didn’t bother me as much since we had so many games to play with him already. It was damn good though, with some long-awaited encounters and also interesting reveals related to what we saw in Kevin’s route.
I’ll leave my final comments on Van’s route for after I finish the game, but so far it’s the weakest of the three, it feels too much like “filler” - despite being longer than the other two combined it don’t contain as many interesting story moments.
With this current pace I’ll probably finish the game this weekend, which is faster than I expected. If that happens I’ll go back to Super Robot Wars Y to play DLC2.
Fully focused on Horizon so no progress on other games.
