@KratosMD Ooh, I’ve been really interested in Layers of Fear so good to hear you’re enjoying it! Playing in the dark with headphones is the sort of thing I wish I could do but I’m a wuss 😂😂
@KratosMD Yeah but the RPG element can make it a bit easy. If there is a particular boss that you can't get past, all you have to do is go grind out some levels even to the point where you are much stronger then the boss.
@Genrou It’s not too bad in SotN compared to Circle of the Moon. Loved that game but oh lord, you need to grind. It’s 100% required to get to a certain level otherwise you’ll just get destroyed time and time again. RPG elements can both make or break a game, especially with games like Metroidvanias.
I'm playing Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and having a pretty good time with it once again.
Just managed to get Abe out of Rupture farms and so far I've saved 23 fellow workers out of a possible 28 (I may've accidently blown up one of the workers ) which is pretty good. Some of those secret areas are really tough! (Especially the one with the Scrab chase outside of rupture farms)
I've always really liked and been drawn to the character designs in the Oddworld series in particular.
The Redacted cus it's an answer for Gremio's quiz, The Sligs, Scrabs, Paramites but I quite like the Glukkons in particular if only because that's how I childishly imagine what every bigwig in a giant corporation really looks like...
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Blimey, you didn't waste any time after Thursday's livestream, did you?! Glad you're enjoying the revisit; hope it helps get you well and truly hyped.

Since I already had dug out my PS1 games to play the Tony Hawk games, I decided to attempt the original Tekken since I just had memories of getting murdered over and over. It’s still impossible, I just get ruined by the AI every single time. Oh well, I booted up Myst instead and that’s... slow. Very very slow.
Wasn't quite feeling anything after The Last Of Us and kept putting things down. Plus actually beating Exoddus will help me appreciate Soulstorm (The remake of Exoddus) all the more!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I just used to get really miffed playing the original at the time as to why there were so many mudokens I hadn't saved when escaping Rapture Farm. It never occurred to me at the time that there would be hidden ones..
The fact there's a secret on the very first screen @Thrillho is so cheeky. There's no audio clue of a sleeping slig in the background that's present in most of the other rooms with secrets in and no visual clue either...
Plus the checkpointing is not great either... I've had to re-do the secrets a number of times because of messing up on the main route and it never progressed far enough to checkpoint me.
At least I get the quicksave feature in the second!
I got to the Mudokon temple yesterday In Oddysee and ended up going to Paramonia. The difficulty is starting to creep in now, especially with those damn bats in the escape from the stockyard and slogs being introduced 😥
I’ve been playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 on PS2 which is pretty good, bizarrely I just never got round to that one despite it being considered one of the best alongside THUG and THPS2. Reverts are a great addition and the areas feel a lot more alive. You can tell they’ve reached their limits with the 2 minute system though, later games could only expand maps by allowing you to skate for as long as you want.
I got to the Paramite temple on Paramonia last night in Abe's Oddysee to get the first hand scar.
... That did not go well.
I must've been at it for three hours despite my save only saying a little over an hour (The time function is weird and starts back from zero again when you load up a file on the PS1)
Worst thing was though I encountered a bug!
I somehow managed to pick up two pieces of meat to distract the Paramites (Which was really handy at first!) But then I died just as I was going to get the scar.
... And when I restarted I couldn't pick up anything at all and couldn't progress any further... So now I have to load it back up halfway through the temple!
I was reading about New ‘n’ Tasty again the other day and it seemed to suggest that hard mode on that was equivalent to playing the original game. I mean, it isn’t an easy game so I’m not surprised really.
And I hadn’t realised they’d increased the mudokon number so much. No way I’d get all the trophies on the remake!
Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ouch. I really hate the paramites. Give me scrab any day!
Agreed! Least I know how to do the last two puzzles in the temple now so it should only take me twenty minutes or so.
... As long as those Paramites don't play up on me. I'm sure the AI on them were buggering up a little too 😥
and yeah I heard that there's now 300 mudokons in the new 'n' tasty version too. I've already let about ten or so die in the original and have no hope of ever getting them all.
I can only imagine the horror of them being tied to various trophies @Thrillho!

@KratosMD Have you played Epic Mickey? One of my favourite games on Wii despite the absolute garbage camera and I think the sequel might have been on PS3. Castle of Illusion is solid and I quite enjoyed the sorta sequel on 3DS using the Epic Mickey name.
