@Thrillho By the way, I’m interested to hear more about Midnight Suns. It’s one of those games that I had no interest in at launch, mostly because of the card based tactical gameplay which I don’t usually engage in. Also, the Marvel saturation point is almost maxed out for me. However, I have to admit that as time has passed I’m finding myself curious about it. Mainly because it does seem to offer something familiar yet different. Familiar in the sense it’s got all the characters I know, and different in that it’s not merely another action adventure or rpg type of game.
The relationship portions actually sound intriguing to me, but maybe it’s not as well implemented as it looks. Is it like a Persona style of harem and buddy building mechanic where it adds additional story elements, or is it more of a tool to build up a relationship to enhance combat maneuvers?

@Bentleyma how far through are you? I am 40 hours in, over halfway on quite a few of the stories - not finding it too difficult tbh but I am well over levelled. Some of the bosses are starting to trip me up a bit now, though.
I love “my little lamb” Temenos, so much sass. I thought I’d dislike Partitio but he’s my favourite character and story so far. What a great guy!
@Bentleyma yeah, if you’re at or just below the required levels the bosses will be really hard. I have just been enjoying exploring and have ended up at a much higher level than I need to be.. but even then bosses can be kinda tricky sometimes. I tend to rely on brute force over tactics in these sorts of games, it gets me so far but I think if you dig into the job system and abilities you can make your life a lot easier. That said, I haven’t really had to grind much, aside from bringing a few unused characters up to a higher level in difficult areas supported by my stronger characters or when I have 10 minutes of playtime left.
I have not really played them in any order, I got Hikari last actually and was already half way through Throne’s story when I did that.
Yes, all the main characters are good. I do find some better, but there is not one I find unenjoyable. The first game had me frequently rolling my eyes by comparison. Really impressed with it.
@HallowMoonshadow The tacked on sort of final final with a cherry on top place. End already! Although the second bit you’re talking about all spoilery was really good but insane to think it came out years before those were localised 😂
I will have thoughts when the game is done, that is to be sure!
Just about to reinstall Horizon Forbidden West in preparation for the DLC. Really can’t wait to play more Horizon, Call of the Mountain has hyped me up even more.
On a side note, this is amazing work, especially how it explodes.
Started playing Final Fantasy VII Remake today. I needed something new to play on PS5 and I decided to play this game partly because it has a free PS5 upgrade but also in preparation for Rebirth. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and runs very smoothly on PS5. I bought it at launch on PS4 but never played more than a few chapters because I wanted to play the original FF7 first, which I did in 2021. Now that some time has passed, I feel like now is a good time to play through Remake. Can't wait to experience this game in a new way and see all the changes from the original. I'm also glad that I didn't play Remake so that I can experience the Yuffie DLC.
@LtSarge Hopefully you highly enjoy it. There's a small group of us here that absolutely loved the game (not saying others didn't like it obviously). I played through it twice via the PS4 version and the PS5 version. If nothing else, at least they fixed the infamous apartment door for the PS5 version.
The Yuffie DLC is pretty solid as well. Initially I didn't like it as Yuffie's combat is a lot different than the main cast and I initially sucked, but after going back to it months later, I ended up enjoying it after giving it a second chance.

@KilloWertz Thanks, I'm sure I'll enjoy the game. FF7 is my favourite in the series so far so I'm really excited to experience it in a new way.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the Yuffie DLC in the end! I find it a bit on the expensive side but as a fan of FF7, I definitely want to experience as much of this universe as possible.
On today’s dodgy Cold Steel moment - despite being a literal military academy, female students do cooking classes while the male students do computing classes. Zero reason is given. Just boggles the mind.
There’s also a guy called Pablo who speaks with a thick Scottish accent (I use JP voices so it’s text-based dialect). Pablo, that famous Scottish name. Extra odd considering this is fantasy land with fantasy countries.
@nessisonett Maybe loosely based on Paolo Nutini. Born and raised in Paisley yet not a Scottish name as his father grew up in Tuscany. People find inspiration in the strangest of places!
God, it feels like I’ve been playing Midnight Suns forever and I only started act 2 last night
I think I messed up slightly by hitting the side missions so hard in the early game to try and get as many upgrades as possible, build up friendships etc. It hasn’t ruined the experience and I have been only playing it in short bursts but it is getting quite repetitive.
And how does a completely offline game from 2022 not have any pause functionality, particularly during cutscenes??
Started Kena: Bridge of Spirits today and its quality fair play. Don’t tend to gravitate to the more cartoony aesthetic in gaming but I’m liking the visuals here and I’m pretty blown away by the score too. Gameplay is nice and even on normal difficulty, the game puts up some fairly challenging encounters here and there. Agreeing with the general consensus that this is a good little game.
@colonelkilgore Cracking game. The difficulty is a bit over the place, especially with some of the bosses. But you can turn down the difficulty without penalty in terms of trophies. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the story, with it dealing with some themes I was not expecting.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I’m quite enjoying the challenge of normal mode so far but I’ll see how I go. Corrupt Taro was a really good boss fight and by far the most difficult I’ve faced early doors but I assume that they get even tougher further in.
