This is full fresh air compared to Lament of Innocence. Already a 8/10 for me.

...but now I'm tempted to move after Kirby Air Riders and very soon Metroid Prime 4. Waited those games so much.
 
Just got Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap in GOG, i grew with the OG, so i got blessed here
 
Today i played some Ridge Racer R4 and this interesting sonic fan game called "Super Duper Amy Freaking Rose".

Really interesting platformer with similar trick mechanics as a tony hawk fame, mixed with a time trial feel, its a really creative game that plays with the 2.5D perspective as well, you guys should check it out

Finally locking into Okami so i can beat it before the year is over. Just got finished clearing the Tsuta Ruins and defeating the spider queen

I'm on chapter 5 and i finally managed to gather all the party members!
So far I think it's been the hardest (and maybe grindy) Dragon Quest I've ever played but im having so much fun with it.

Replaying Deja Vu for the NES, shooting everything on sight this time 😅

Today i started Medievil 2 with the intentions of getting all the achievements on RA
to get the first three achievements you have to beat the first boss "Tyrannosaurus Wrecks" without taking damage AND without picking up any weapons so you have to clear the first level using only Sir Dan's arm and with only one life bar. which is absolute BS and i gave up on my third attempt.

Then i decided to play Rollcage but that pissed me off because your car just decides to flip around and go the wrong way all the time so i gave up on that. 🖕

Then tried to play the first Syphon Filter, which is another BS game, i was running around the train station for like 2 hours, even watched a guide on YT and followed it step by step and it still said i need to complete some objective before proceeding so that game can get fudged.

Finally i thought id take some frustrations out on the first Tekken game and maybe get a few easy achievements. easier said than done!
man i used to love that game.. back in like 1997
but by todays standards its a slow janky shit show and i hate it!

In the middle of playing Mother 3 for the first time. I played 1 and 2 when I was 15 but never really tried to get into this one past Chapter 4 until now. I'm 100% glad I waited until I became an adult to take the plunge on it, though. I feel like I'm getting more out of the writing and story than I would have if I played it at that young of an age.

Definitely pick up "Monster Boy & The Cursed Kingdom" too! It's a really great Wonderboy homage by most of the original series team

As for myself,
-Bought "Cursed Castilla EX" (this wonderful medieval Spanish themed Ghouls & Ghosts game that I fondly remember playing on my older laptop) as well as "Shadow Of The Ninja: Reborn".
-Also played a bit of "Spelunky" and "Streets Of Rogue"
 
As a long-time player of co-op shooters, Arc Raiders delivers a refreshing blend of tactical teamwork and high-energy firefights. The physics-driven combat gives every encounter weight, and the open environments reward smart positioning rather than mindless rushing. While the game still has room to grow - particularly in enemy variety and late-game depth-the moment-to-moment action is undeniably satisfying. When your squad syncs up and drops a towering mech with precision and timing, Arc Raiders hits the exact co-op thrill it aims for.
 
I picked up Dragon Quest 8 for PS2 and I've been enjoying it so much. It's as straight forward as RPG's get and I'm glad I picked it up now rather than never. I got the texture pack recommended for it and it looks so much cleaner. It just oozes charm. I was considering playing the 3DS version but I decided to go PS2 instead. And honestly? Happier with the choice.

This is one of those games I wish got a (good) port to steam so I could pay for it cause it's given me that Saturday morning vibe I've been missing in my life. 60 hours in and still having a blast.

Side note: I laughed when I realized Level 5 worked on this, because I LOVE Rouge Galaxy (another game I wish got a port to steam)

I'm playing Ace Combat 7 and it's awesome, but I feel weird not playing an RPG on the side. Hmm... I don't know what to pick.
 
metroid prime trilogy on pc with primehack but not for the mouse and keyboard, but rather for the dualsticks control scheme on a ds4

the games are rad, what can i say?
 
Playing through all the Armored Core mainline games and just got to Armored Core 2: Another Age after figuring out how to transfer my AC2 save with Apollo Save Tool::omgdoom. Games have been a blast so far especially with the VanLaser Analog ROM Hack.

Played a couple hours of this last night and I'm looking forward to playing more:

It's very Half-Life and Atomic Heart-ish. Made by a solo Russian dev. Impressive work for a solo project. It does use Gen AI, however I'm a bit more lenient when it's a solo dev. Despite that, it still has a handcrafted look.
 
I'm still trying to master the retroachievements for YU-GI-OH: Forbidden Memories on my phone. I'm quite busy this days and the duels are easy to squeeze on short breaks.
