What have you all been playing!

I am back on my SMW ROM hack kick. Recently completed a plumber for all seasons. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in ROM hacks. Great traditional style hack with beautiful art

Witch Spring R

Apparently this is an old series with a few other titles? I had never heard of it before.

Key features: cute tone, anime styled, Japanese/Korean voiceover, 3rd person travel, JRPG turn based fighting, lots of things to grind and craft for making items and upgrading things, visual novel style dialogue, low stress mood while playing

There's a lot of good about it. Particularly I think the lead Japanese voice actress is good and the overall presentation of how screens transition, the flow of gameplay from section to section (exploration, story, combat, crafting, minigames) are executed well.

I am only about two hours in but I find myself feeling satisfied with just that much play. It's less of an indictment on the game itself and more me feeling that the game is not personally for me. While the polish is nice and the relaxed feeling to WSR is very pleasant, I prefer stories with more tension and conflict.

Age of Wonders 4

Very nice polish, horrible tutorial, hated it immediately for reasons I am not even sure about. I have played too many 4x games, I guess. It struck me as a game that wasn't bringing something new to the genre while also not excelling in a specific area either.

If you liked this game, try to sell me on it. I still have it installed and am open to changing my opinion on it.
