Special weekly question:
What are you most anticipating for 2024 in terms of games?
Lies of P
Wo Long
Curse of golden idol, lemurian vampire
Ravenswatch
And power washing Sim for podcasts.
Need to get back to zelda tears, and Bayonetta 3.
EDIT: see reply for details, Most anticipated for this year is dragons dogma 2, Im.hoping it's solid, I only got 10 hours into the first one and I'm going to try to play it through but I've got stuff on my plate so we'll see.
Monster hunter wilds is the only thing I'm eager to play but it's still a year off at least unfortunately.
More details, since I'm getting paid to shit now.
Nearing the end of Lie of P. It has been a very solid souls like game, that is sort of like bloodborne meets sekiro. I'd say I enjoy it more than bloodborne (the worst of the souls games for me) but far less than sekiro. It's trying to do too much I think, with the only thing that really matter the ability to perfect block a series of boss combos. Which is very meh to me, because the timing always feels not quite there. Sekiro it was forgiving enough on perfect blocks, with your side equipment being solid to assist you in a variety of ways. Lies of P arm parts are seemingly only useful between boss fights. Simply just too slow to be viable against any boss.
Wo Long, is like a weird half nioh, half sekiro but it leans towards being easier compared to Lies, with plenty of options to offset a skill deficiency and perfect parry being less needed but easier to time as well. It's a romance of three kingdoms game, which is a setting I adore so after I finish Lies I'm going to dig into some more.
Golden Idol and it's DLC have been excellent, a lovely mystery game where you figure what's happened by clues on the people in a scene and some logic, and some gaming of the systems. I'll be sad when I finish the final case, but the sequel was announced so hoping it's good.
Ravenswatch, is like a single session diablo thingy. You pick a fairy tale hero and try to stop the nightmares. You level up, and are given a choice of two traits to modify your skills, they can increase your power quite radically. It's in early access with the final act still being made. It's great to kill slightly less than an hour of time. Quite a bit of grinding to unlock all the traits for each hero though. My favorites being ice queen, beowulf, Aladdin, and the mermaid.
I've always been playing stardew with my partner maybe 3 hours a week when we have time. Been meaning to play more on my own time too but xmas gave me many games to play.
I also have Mario wonder to start.
I rather liked Wo Long, even finished the main story mode but died out during the Koei "Story Mode, but Harder" due to other games catching my interest.
