Happy February! What are you all playing?
I’m continuing Persona 5 Royal which I continue to love. I also started a game called Burggeist. It’s a weird kind of team ico style strategy game. It’s odd so far. Not totally sure how I feel yet but I’ll give it more time
Played through the Nioh 3 Demo. It seems fine, a lot of changes from the previous games (especially if you compare Nioh 1 to 2, which is mostly the same game), that need some time to get used to.
My main problem with the game right now is the price. 80€ is just far too much, even if I’d probably put hundreds of hours into the game (if the first two are anything to go by). I’ll either wait for it to get cheaper or get it from a key reseller, not sure yet.
Then, I’m deep into Act 3 in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. At this point combat is mostly trivial, although I just completed a dungeon/area that was just a massive slog with overtuned enemies (Blackwater) that made me question my life choices. Nothing new for this series, Kingmaker had similar balancing issues (basically the last third of the game). Still having fun most of the time.
Last third of Kingmaker really soured me on Owlcat and has made me postpone WotR indefinitely. Shame to hear some of the same issues appearing again in it. How does it compare otherwise? I am also somewhat hesitant about the epic setting and godslaying type of story compared to the more grounded Kingmaker. Is the writing good?
