What have you all been playing?

I finished the "Roottrees are dead" second scenario and had a blast. Continuing my Isaac dead god journey. Want to start some new games soon but not sure what at this point

I played a bit of FFVII rebirth at the start of the week, but then had to pause I don't have my main pc with me and I doubt it plays well on deck. I'm not sure if I wanna continue it tho, as my overall experience with the game up to now (middle of Costa del Sol) has been pretty bad.

I started Granblue Fantasy Relink, I think I'm near the end of the story mode. It's pretty fun, although I wish the story too was coop.

I'm also playing Fire Emblem Engage (chapter 14), and it's much better than Awakening: the maps are more interesting and the break system encourages you to be aggressive and makes using weaker units easier. The engage rings are pretty interesting; they feel a bit overpowered, but at the same time I feel like I'm not using them optimally.

I'm also playing the game, it's kinda disappointing, since I loved Remake, but I like the characters enough to continue.

Remake is great, I replayed it recently too in anticipation for Rebirth.

I too like the characters, which is why I'll try to continue, but I'm probably gonna play the original game instead. I've already played around 20 hours of it, up to just after the

, and while the fast pacing is a bit jarring when compared to Remake, I enjoyed it much more than the parts of Rebirth I played.

I'm definitely not as down on Rebirth as you, but I liked Remake more. The combat is still fun enough, even if some fights/enemies are terrible.

I've also been thinking of re-playing the original, when I'm done, just as I've done after Remake. Like you said, I remember the pace throwing me for a loop.
