Here's my gaming roundup for the last month or so:
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and The White Guardian - My first and potentially last Atelier game. While it looked nice the gameplay loop just did not do it for me and it was too grindy, and I'm to believe this is one of the less grindy entries in the franchise. Oh well, glad I finally tried one but am willing to accept I'm just not the target audience.
Crysis 2 Remastered - I like this game, so having an excuse to replay it with shinier graphics was nice. It's funny how stealth trivializes the game so much but if you're down for it you can still brute force the whole campaign.
Echoes of Red - A bullet heaven that actually gives me a headache to play. It's not the worst I've played but the look of the game makes me feel unwell after 10 minutes or so.
Footgun: Underground - Interesting idea, I suppose? But just wasn't fun for me, wish there had been a more intuitive way to aim the kicks because it felt like I could rarely get them to go where I wanted. The meta progression didn't interest me much and that's a big hook for me in a roguelite.
Gunboat God - Very neat aesthetic and I enjoyed what I played of it, but I don't think I have the reflexes for the harder content anymore as I was already struggling on some of the first world missions.
Hell Forge - Vampire Survivors if it was made in a high school computer class by someone that isn't particularly good at making games. I didn't play this much.
Incredicer - Quick little incremental game that can be beat in a few hours.
I'm currently forcing myself through my 2nd playthrough of Super Robot Wars Y after the DLC came out, only to discover it ends on a cliffhanger and there will likely be even more DLC down the road. If it's not endgame DLC and is sprinkled throughout the main campaign like the rest I don't know if I have it in me to play it again. I already rate the game low in the franchise as it is. Also playing Jurassic World Evolution 2, my first foray into the franchise. I'm not very good at this sort of game as I discovered when I got stuck about 60% of the way through Two Point Hospital, but wanted to try something a little different.
) list). If any of you manage to find a good game in that sea of trash let us know. Were it not for the recommendations I find in the sporadically few decent /v/ threads alongside my xitter oomfie's posts I would never see anything I'd like in the indie section beyond whatever FOTM rises to the top of the 'tuber algorithm.
