Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete and SaGa 1.
 
Not today, but forgot to mention I returned playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for PS2 yesterday. Crazy thing is how the game feels overwhelming at the beginning ("wow, a 3D SOTN?") but then kept playing and realized that with bigger budget and more development this could have been better. It's still a good game (imo still better than Lords of Shadow).
 
I have been trying to get more on online games, or online focused games, not anything new because I don´t have such a beefy pc for games like fortnite, but I have been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead 2 online this days
 
I started playing Trails in the Sky SC after I finally made it trough FC at my 3d attempt. FC was a great game, I just shouldn't have started it right after finishing Clair Obscur, due to emotional overflow and "stylistic differences".
 
Bioshock infinite. Played for about two hours last night. Never played this one before so really enjoying it at the moment on the PS3. Graphics hold up still.
 
I played a few hours of Don't Starve! Just starting to set up a base

I played persona 3 today... maybe ill finish it someday ::smashy
 
So far just Nikke for today. Tales of Xillia remastered just came out so I might as well try to start it again, my PS3 copy hasn't been touched since getting bought.

I want you to ask yourself something. Would you have gotten more out of playing some retro game that you looked into that seems promising?

I ask this because I can tell ya that I usually regret spending most of my time with games like Nikke, as they're designed to be way more addicting than fun.
 
Was playing Romancing Saga 1, been weirdly hooked on it. Minus the absurd encounter rate, it's pretty fun.

Not really. The new chapters plus the anniversary event was pretty enjoyable. Tales of Xillia Remastered actually got me to regret playing on Switch because it's locked to 30 fps while the PS3 version at least had 60fps during battles (should have sprung for the PC version). As long as I enjoy the game I don't really think I'm getting more or less out of a gacha I daily for 10-20 minutes most days and a couple of hours during major events. It has to be a pretty atrocious game for me to feel I could be playing something else.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tactical Takedown

I played a little bit of this and already I feel like this game succeeds where Metal Slug Tactics failed. Not only is Tactical Takedown actually fun (unlike MST), but it actually feels like a Ninja Turtles game while MST feels nothing like Metal Slug
 
I just finished an old RPG Maker Horror game, The Witch's House and now i'm continuing Trails In The Sky
 
I finished XCOM 2 War of the Chosen. Wonderful experience, the most I've been engrossed in a strategy game for a while, but it drags a little bit towards the end. That might be my fault because I forgot about the story objectives for a second there.

Once Upon a Katamari has been a treat, one of 2025's best, but I do feel it lost some of the simple charm of the first two Katamari games. We Love Katamari is my favorite game of all time and I'm probably a bit blinded by nostalgia, idk. The soundtrack is nice but Everlasting Love doesn't return so I might actually have to neck myself.

Six badges into Pokemon Emerald Legacy Edition and really enjoying it as someone who hasn't played a Pokemon game to any significant extent since HG/SS

Replaying Titanfall 2 now. Doesn't feel like the kind of game EA would release in 2016, which is one of the highest compliments you can give any game.
 
Finished Dragon Knight 2 (PC-98), gonna try to end Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories (PSX) and after the certain failure maybe go back to Galaxy Fräulein Yuna (PCE) that's abandoned for months now
 
How do you like Forbidden Memories? That was a fucking nightmare as a kid.


A game so bullshit speedrunners decided to play it ironically

Had to use some trickery to beat it quickly. Dropped a Meteor Black Dragon, used memory card copying and trading to make 3 copies of it. Started a new game on a second memory card to transfer the starter cards a few times to get enough dragon buff cards (Invigoration, Dragon Treasure, Beast Fang, Horn of Light). Plus the usual Twin Headed Thunder Dragon shenanigans and see ya, Nitemare.
 
Got myself invested in playing demon's crest for SNES- YES, I'm pretty dreadful at these types of games, but the difficulty sort of makes it all rewarding... OH, and the ATMOSPHERE this title has!

SUPER fond of this Arma fellow all boastful and smug.. I like him!

better than boring mario
 
I played a bit Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Marvel vs Capcom 2; I sort of prefer 2 more than 3 but they got it's pros and cons.
 
Played some of Metal Max for the NES on my Bittboy Pocket Go. Been enjoying it immensely, even if I had to redo the first dungeon where you get your first tank twice. Particularly love the dumb enemies like a caterpillar with a giant Vulcan gun on it's face and a gas can with legs
 
Making my way through Okami. I'm starting to get used to the combat by now but the camera controls can be annoying. The art style is incredible though
