Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission - Tried the DLC after beating the PS5 version a year ago, but stopped it after a couple of hours as I hated Yuffie's combat since it is such a departure from the main game's. I had nothing specific to play right now, so I decided to give it a second chance. After initial frustrating again yesterday, things seems to have clicked for me with it today.

Thymesia - a new indie 'Souls-Like'.... but actually surprisingly decent.
Picked it up online for <20 £GBP, and it plays very similar to Sekiro - with a touch of Bloodborne. The skill allocation/tree system is quite unique, allowing you to re-allocate your skill tree points at any given time (a necessary evil as all the bosses seems to require different strategies).
The atmosphere and enemy variety of touch can't touch FromSoftware, but genuinely the combat is really tight and interesting.... albeit the parry window is pretty small, makes Sekiro look generous! (nb. just found there are nodes on the skill tree that allow you to extend the parry window opening, at the expense of parry damage dealt)
It is supposedly pretty short, about 11-12 hours to platinum. Will keep playing this week and might hit pause on Bloodborne to scoop a platinum on Thymesia... if my shoddy skills are up to it!
But if anyone is looking for a short Souls/Sekiro fix - I would recommend Thymesia, if you can find for a good price.
I just started Spiderman Miles Morales, thanks to the availability on ps plus extra. Was in the mood for a non jrpg game and it was long enough since i played Spiderman remastered, so i decided to start this one. I hope it doesn't have the stealth sections which the other Spiderman game has, that was by far the least enjoyable part of that game. Only played short but so cant say much about it yet
@Lavalera There are no stealth sections in the same manner of the first game. Any stealth is in the context of being Spider-Man and trying to get a jump on the enemy, which is quite fun with Miles’s venom powers. But the automatic fails of trying to sneak around are a thing of the past.
MM is a tighter experience in general and the game never felt like a slog. By cutting out the stealth sections and making the story shorter, it really strengthens the package, in my opinion.
Hope your enjoy!

@Lavalera
100% agree with you. I felt the stealth sections of the first were tacked on, unnecessary and really broke up the flow of the game. Was so glad they weren't in MM.
It's like I want to be spiderman, swinging around finding collectables and beating up gangs of dudes. I don't want to be MJ sneaking around a museum/garage/whatever and having to restart every time I pop my head out too early.

I only got to play it for a little less than an hour tonight, but I'm really liking it so far. I think the decision to hold off a little while to play it to let the hype die down will end up paying off.

@MaulTsir@KilloWertz I’m curious how you guys end up getting along with Stray, since it seems I’m in the same boat — I really wasn’t as hyped as everyone else about the game, but as time has passed, I think I do want to try it out before my sub expires.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@RogerRoger I thought it was the opposite, where the NTSC versions were higher frame rate (60 fps?) and the PAL were the sluggish ones. Perhaps it depends what region one lives in?

Just finished LoU2. Overall a great game, but horrible ending. There were so many opportunities to make a better ending that it left me disappointed. Not sure how to leave spoiler tags so I won't go into details. Not sure what to play next as I'm impatiently waiting for Pathfinder wotr to come out on the 29th. I might jump into CK3 and see if I can become the king of the north.
