I’m kind of in between games, actually . I finished Enotria: The Last Song and even did a quick NG+ run for the secret/true ending achievement. I had a good time with it and would recommend it to Souls fans if you can tolerate AA/jank and can grab it on a deep sale. It’s not overly difficult and not too long that it outstays its welcome, which for me feels like a good thing at this point. Loved the setting and the Commedia Dell’Arte framing.
To follow I dipped my toes into playing a Soulslike Metroidvania with fantastic combat, interesting lore and a beautiful and visually distinct art style. I’m of course talking about Si- no actually it’s GRIME. It was on all-time low deep sale recently and I’ve had my eye on it for a while so I snapped it up. So far it’s been good but… I don’t know. It hasn’t really grabbed me yet. I think maybe coming off a Soulslike it was slightly too similar and that’s why I’m not hooked yet. I can tell it’s fantastic and it’s very unique, I think I should just have played something else in between.
So I also pirated Cronos: The New Dawn in a try-before-I-buy effort inspired by spooktober. I know it’s the wrong sub for a new release but what can you do. It’s been… alright so far. Haven’t played all that much, only like two hours or so. I like the story and the world building but it’s not really scaring me like I was hoping it would. It seems to be more about tough and gruelling combat encounters, which is not necessarily what I’m looking for right now.
I might just audible into replaying The Final Draft of Alan Wake 2 instead and finally getting into playing the DLCs, which I own but have been saving for a rainy day.
