Jeff - Psychonauts 2 is a shockingly excellent sequel. You should play that immediately after finishing the first one.
That's the plan as well as Rhombus of Ruin in between (did already play that one a few years ago)Jeff - Psychonauts 2 is a shockingly excellent sequel. You should play that immediately after finishing the first one.
I started up Elden Ring again this week too. I'm making my way throughStill working on Elden Ring. Finally decided to tackle the Margit boss. I can almost beat it, but I seriously suck at timing this stuff. I take a lot of hits.
I make sure I have expended any runes I've collected before tackling any of the bosses in the game.
I've been wandering around quite a bit, before attempting a lot.of the bosses. I tend to explore the map more than get into boss fights; although, I can get fixated on wanting to beat the things once I start fighting one of them. I spend a lot if time reading "You Died". When it gets too frustrating then it is back to wandering or jump to another game for awhile.I started up Elden Ring again this week too.

The boss fights are the least enjoyable part of Elden Ring for me (or any of the Souls games). I know that's a weird thing to say for a series known mostly for its boss fights. I just don't like the way hits land and the glitchy chaos of boss movements. But wandering around and exploring the world is amazing.

Half way through it and loving it. Just finished a level that seemed ripped right out of The Yellow Submarine. A very highly polished version of the first game, classic platforming goodness.Jeff - Psychonauts 2 is a shockingly excellent sequel. You should play that immediately after finishing the first one.
Link to the Past is still my favorite Zelda game out of all of them by a wide margin. It's soo damn good.Having finished Hades as my side-game, after decades of hearing how good it was and wanting to play it, I've started Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past on the Switch Online SNES. I'm not very far in, just got the first pendent, but I'm really enjoying it. It doesn't feel dated. SNES games can really hold up. It's like classic animation, that style ages very gracefully as a genre.
I love the original, but F-Zero 99 has subtle but nice graphical improvements and new features like the skyway shortcuts. I also think it controls better, and appreciate how many more vehicles they're able to fit onto the track. I'd love an F-Zero Plus!Steve - sounds like you are looking for...uhh...the original F-Zero, then?
I had the opposite reaction. The quiet moments (especially after the second disorienting story leap) really engaged me. They're what sold me on the game. They feel like the quiet portions of an epic movie after the intermission (only this game has several intermissions). Keep in mind I've completed (and enjoyed) every side quest they've thrown at me, too. And I say that as someone who got really bored with the endless road trip in FFXV.The big moments [in FFXVI] are BIG and it definitely feels like a next-gen FF game, but the quiet parts in between the big parts are really boring.
