Got pretty close to the finishing Astral Chain, just 2 levels remaining. Nothing new to add though.

Finished Nier Replicant , well, at least got the first ending, Ending A. Now playing for Ending B, stopped at the front of last dungeon, so should finish this over the weekend. Then comes Ending C, Ending D and Ending E.

Generally I don't playthrough the game again and again, but I am interested in seeing how they unfold the story, and since I am only doing the main quest in this playthrough it was pretty quick. There are still many questions, but the second playthrough is explaining a few things (and making us feel bad about some things).

So, what about all you? What have you been playing?

Playing Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana!

Plenty of stress and anxiety at work this past week made it hard to get into a more story-focused game, so an old-school Action RPG worked a lot better.

This is a port of a 20 years old game, but it's aged surprisingly well. Gameplay is fast-paced and generally quite fun, but there's a few spots where it really shows it's age. The lack of quest markers can lead to strange situations like when I spent a long time stuck on a dungeon only to find out I needed to go back and watch a cutscene I missed in the town, and there's a wild variety in quality in bosses going from "amazingly fun" to "pure slog".

Also, this game is quite hard, so be ready to die a lot on bosses, even on normal difficulty. But since those battles tend to be short and the game lets you retry it immediately it doesn't end up being particularly frustrating.

I think I reached the final dungeon yesterday so I should be done over the weekend.

I just restarted Ys Origin! I love that game.

I am looking forward to playing this. It has been on my wishlist since Vita days.

If you're interested in Oath in Felghana you may also want to take a peek at Ys Origins.

Runs on the same engine so it has the same fast-paced gameplay, and this one has multiple characters with different combat styles to make it more replayable.

It's also on my wishlist 😀

I have a very long wishlist.
