Well, that took a chunk out of my vacation bonus. Both SMTV:V and Thousand year door. Plus the DLC because I know this is an SMT game and if there's one thing I always want in SMT it's less grind. The money package is kind of useless if they still let you pull the same thing they did in SMTIV, because in that case I'm going with a heavy paralysis team this time too. (In case you're wondering, In SMTIV if you paralyze an enemy demon and then bargain with it, instead of the usual banter that comes up if you "ask" them for money, they go "Uh-oh, I can't move! This is bad..." and then basically just let you mug them for every macca they're worth...)

Nice list! Lots of these games I didn't expect to see. Had lots of unique picks that I really didn't see coming which made it a way more interesting watch. My favourite was unicorn overlord by a large margin. I beat it, and was really disappointed that I had no more of it to play, so I did something I've never done before and immediately beat it again on true zenorian difficulty

I knew Atlus would release a new version of SMTV at some point, so I waited. Interestingly, MegaTen games are one of the first if not the first to feature monster taming, if I'm not mistaken. The first game came out in 1987. Anyway, I have been attempting to put a dent in the backlog, but as for releases this year I have really been enjoying Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons. Very relaxing and a great palate cleanser between bigger games.

@KageMaku1 8 күн бұрын

This is going to be a long one I warn you as I have fallen for this game. Been playing Outward since it's patch (as I never play anything day one), and have spent well over 100 hours on my main character so far.(The end game content is meaty). Loving the exploration, adventure and freedom, the fact that you start as a shipwrecked nobody who has to truly struggle to survive at first. Fighting hard, looting everything, crafting and trading between regions to work your way up and train under masters and once you start getting a build feeling powerful and being able to take on harder and harder things that felt impossible before, to get those epic goodies. There are so many classes and potential combinations that there is tons of replayability which fits well given the main story has multiple factions that you have to pick one for your game to enjoy its quest lines and interesting story which is just a part of the larger tapestry of the whole games story/ world lore that you can only experience in its entirety if you replay multiple times to do each of the factions playthrough. My husband was jealous of how fun it looked and so bought himself a copy and I have a second character for co-op playing on his world, so I'm already experiencing a second factions storyline and multiplayer works flawlessly. Plus the game feels so fun even the second time round given how different I am building my character this time, solo was a speed archer, trap assassin, co-op I've gone full triple threat mage.
