I played a bit, too. Not far enough along to know whether I love it or just like it - but your testimonial is a reminder to get back to it.

I *think* i'm at the final boss now


There are at least a couple very frustrating points in the game but overall I think it's a great MV with a very cool story/setting

I'm finally starting to get bored with this now, but OMG the game loop is like crack for the first <embarrassing number, maybe 40> hours or so.

I think maybe I spent too much time optimizing my base, and it did that Vampire Survivors thing where it was briefly thrilling to be so OP, and then suddenly boring. But whereas Vampire Survivors got to that point inside about 3 hours, Ball x Pit entertained for a good long while.

Winding down on it too. I don’t think it's designed for the long haul.

I've moved on to Monster Train 2. Bought it months ago and couldn't gel with it the first time. The graphics are too busy or something.

Gave it another shot and I get it now. Top tier deck builder. Maybe even the best.

When the the campaign launched its intro I thought, That’s a very bad Jeff Goldblum impression.

Turns out it's really him!

I abandoned the campaign after the fourth mission because it's boring, and launched a free-play map instead, starting with minimal money, and am loving every bit of Jurassic World Evolution 3. Slowing building my theme park and increasing my profits.

It's a long time since playing this type of game, and I think my favourite part is just driving around the world I've created. I'm sure it's not the first game of this type to do it, not even of this series, but I could only dream of this in games of old.

Yes! I was hoping this game would deliver. Getting 9-10/10 everywhere.

Just read a review. Sounds wonderful! :)

Trying to get into Nioh 3 again, but I'm really not bonding with the Samurai/ Ninja dual build concept. I'm hoping I'll start to "get it" eventually, because Nioh 1 and 2 are easily in my top 10 GOAT (games of all time) list.

Nioh 1 is a bit meh due to poor enemy variety etc. but Nioh 2 is excellent. Nioh 3 based on the demo is largely more of the same, which is not a bad thing. The loot system is exhausting though with its 99% crap drops and way too many items to make good use of them.

Still, the combat is top tier but I think I will wait for the game to be well patched an on sale. Maybe with mods on PC. I've decided to go for a "don't get new games on day one" approach to get a good experience from the start, and to work through my backlog.

I'm most of the way through Silent Hill F and it's been both good and mediocre. I added a mod that tweaks the combat to feel better and that helped a lot. It alternates between intricate overworld levels and kinda samey underworld ones that are a bit of a slog.
