Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. I continue to sink most of my free time plowing through Persona 5 Royal. Also a little Balatro on my phone on the side. Hope you all have a good week!

Been playing so much since I got a Lenovo Legion Go so here we go:

Final Fantasy 13: Heard good/mixed things about it. I'm about 6 hours in and I don't hate it, but I'm not exactly enjoying it either. I have no idea what a pulse l'cie, fal'cie, purge as both a place and an action, or any other terms mean despite them using these words in every sentence. It is probably the most linear final fantasy I've played. I'm stuck at Odin and die within the first 3 minutes or so. Does this game get better? I really want to like it. Does Hope get better as a character or is he always insufferable?

Fear and Hunger: About 4 hours in and it's finally starting to click for me, in that I've figured out the combat strategy and am having more fun.

Tekken 7: I am bad at fighting games but this was on sale for $10 so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's a fighting game alright. I am laughably bad at pushing buttons in any kind of combination that does anything useful.

Octopath Traveler 0: Best octopath game so far. Really tightened up the story and mechanics and it feels like the most solid of the 3. Enjoy the town-building/stardew valley aspect of it.

Hypnospace Outlaw: Lots of fun, very creative. I zoned out during the intro and have to go back and re-do it but this is really fun. Best played on a laptop/desktop for full immersion.

Hylics: I love it. Incredibly weird, fun art style and music. A few hours in and it has become one of my favorites.

Baldur's Gate 3: I am overwhelmed by the amount of things you can do in this game. I am a few hours in and had to give it a break because this feels like it is going to consume my life if I let it.

Darkwood: It's pretty hard but the atmosphere is a lot of fun. I haven't really figured out the crafting/bartering system just yet and can't make it past day 3 without dying but it's fun. Have to be in the right state of mind to play it.
