What video games are you playing?

They will be back soon, so you won’t miss anything!

Nope, I haven’t heard of that but Deep of the Night leak that there will be an endless run mode with a ranking system.

I like how FromSoftware keeps adding new content to Nightreign and it’s a one-time buy. I mainly play only Duchess and Revenant, but the game price is worth it for me already.

Just beat Everdark Equilibrious Beast in the 3rd attempt. It’s the hardest Everdark boss fight IMO. Thanks to the decent RNG and these teammates so that I can have the boss relic.

Playing red dead redemption 2 currently at the beginning of chapter 6. Trying to increase my honor to get good ending. It’s one of those games with very great plots.

Lining up:

InZoi
Ninja garden master edition
Silent hill F
Wuchang
Cronos the new dawn

My 3rd win against Everdark Libra in 18 runs. This Duchess carried the entire party and soloed the boss after everyone was down since it still had 50% of the HP bar left. The Everdark Libra boss fight is already insane, but this Duchess’ skills are even more.

For an average player like me, the win rate for this boss fight is way too low. Probably around only 10-15%. Someone has fought him around 20 times already and still hasn’t won once.

Just started playing Granblue Fantasy: Relink not too long ago. I bought the game almost a year ago, but just never had the time to invest in it until now. I’m glad that I finally took the plunge tho, because it’s been a fantastic experience so far. As a casual gamer, I appreciate that the gameplay is engaging without being overly technical, and that the game is also challenging enough to be exciting, without veering into the frustratingly difficult.

Basically, it’s a lot of fun.

My 4th and 5th win against Everdark Libra. First time as Duchess. Bleed build with Arcane +8 to take him down. The difficulty is insane especially in 3-player mode.

I saw someone with almost 100 attempts to beat Everdark Libra, but still hasn’t won even once. A great respect for his efforts.

Beat Everdark Gladius with these guys. It’s such a fun boss fight. If my Duchess hadn’t died in one hit, it would have been a deathless run for the entire party.

Somehow my fixation roulette wheel landed on Zelda. I’ve recently replayed Ocarina of Time, played Minish Cap for the first time, and now I’m onto Echoes of Wisdom. Minish Cap was really cool! The structure and size of the game was so pleasant, and it’s peak GBA aesthetic. Not my new favorite in the series necessarily, but a standout entry. It may be the best handheld, but A Link Between Worlds is stiff competition.

I’ve only done one rift in Echoes of Wisdom so it’s too early to say, but I am enjoying it. I think I would like the next top-down Zelda to change up the art style though - this is a positive iteration of the Link’s Awakening Remake look, but I’m just not big on that style in the first place. It’s cute, but they could do better. The handhelds were aping the Wind Waker aesthetic for quite a while. Now that they have the capability to just do that style 1:1 in this format…maybe do that, or at least something with that kind of fluidity and style. There is some nice set dressing and background detail in Echoes, and the performance is good (on Switch 2 lol), I’m just done with the toy box look.

But that’s a silly hangup in the grand scheme of things. Zelda is cute in this game, I like the companion character, the sense of adventure and focus on puzzle solving highlights the stronger aspects of the series in my eyes. Link is canonically mute in this one and I think that’s neat. So far so good!

Got myself a SNES console with Secret of Evermore and Terranigma and currently I am reliving my childhood all over again. Two masterpiece games that I adore deeply!

Now I need to find copies of Illusion of Gaia/Time, Breath of Fire II, Zelda III, Super Metroid and Lufia II😅

First time beating Everdark Libra without dying. Evergaol build with some passive sorcery and incantation buffs. 11 Starlight Shards were used in this single boss fight and 6 HP Flasks left.

If I hadn’t gotten hit by a Leonine Misbegotten boss at level 1, it would have been a deathless run lmao.

I’ve been putting way too many hours into Mario Kart World, particularly with the free roam mode and p-switch missions. The trick mechanics (wall ride + grind) are super satisfying to pull off. I’ve been getting in a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza as well.

Just beat Everdark Libra with 2 people in trio mode. A Wylder left after the day 1 boss, but this Ironeye and I kept playing. The win rate is usually low with 3 people, but we both managed to beat him eventually.

I never knew that Vyke’s War Spear was this powerful against Libra. I used it to melt around 80% of his HP bar and died at the end, but the Ironeye was able to finish him fortunately. What a brutal run!

Edit: I just realized that the bosses’ HP scales down when a player has left the session to keep the difficulty balanced.

Zelda always pulls me back in too. For me the real magic is how each entry finds a new way to reinterpret exploration. Even the smaller titles manage to capture that sense of hidden world just out of reach. One always recommend to fans is Spirit Tracks, people dismiss it for the train gimmick, but it actually uses it brilliantly to create tension and planning in travel, and the dungeon design is way more creative than it gets credit for. It’s a reminder that Zelda at its best isn’t just about dungeons or combat, but how movement through the world itself becomes part of the puzzle.
