For me it might have been because I couldn't just camp out at a particular spot because I'd get swarmed, whereas in the original it was pretty easy to get a chokepoint going. It also didn't help that I never got into the house with the shotgun so I had to try and fight off hordes of enemies with just the pistol.

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5)
I haven't progressed the story in quite a few play sessions now, since I won't do that without @ShiraNoMai being home so she doesn't miss anything and any time I've played she hasn't been home. So in the meantime I've just been doing the odd side quest I still have left to do or just discovering all the things on the map I haven't gone through yet. Hopefully I can do some story stuff tonight.

Iirc the voice mod is for the original final fantasy 7 title. I've heard excellent things about it.
Last game I played was Pokémon Violet and Scaret. I did a bunch of raid dens 2 shiny, the other's were farming the Blissy event for candies and tera shards. More so in Scarlet compared to Violet.

fan voice acting but it's done really well. you can just tell some of it is inspired by ff7r.
Metroid: Desolation
Romhack! so good. nothing particularly hard though. doesn't really point out where to go so there's lots of roaming and it's honestly frustrating but I am still enjoying the hell outta it

Mario Strikers: Battle League
Played the tutorial section for a bit to see how much different it is to the previous games. Similar, like that you now have to collect a... thingy, forgot what it's called, to do the Super Strike this time. Control buttons are a bit different but dislike the tackle and body tackle are now one button instead, other controls overlap too a bit more than previous. Need to play more to get used it, plus hopefully change buttons about which I didn't try to do.
Genshin Impact
Dailies as usual

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5)
Just cleaning up the last few things I have to do to get the platinum, which is really tedious stuff. Once I get it done I'll probably be done with this game until the DLC comes out in a few weeks.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance (PC)
Just doing daily runs as usual. They've all felt rather dull ever since the recent G-Fuel themed daily run though, which I really need to go back and try doing again because it was fun but got really tough the further on it went.

Metroid Dread randomizer
Maaaaan. I love love love Metroid and I love randomizers. This was so much fun and actually forced me to use sequence breaks in vanilla Dread. Progression items like suits and such were behind sequence break areas.

Octopath Traveler (PC)
Decided to finally start this up on Steam since I had to call in to work last night due to the weather. Had started this on Switch a while back, but stopped playing it once they had announced the Steam port. Started with best girl Tressa, then went north and got Cyrus (I know from speedruns that he's great for clearing normal battles fast), and then went and got Ophilia. I'll continue to move in this circle and head for H'aanit next.
Game is as enjoyable as I remember it being from my time on the Switch version.
Genshin Impact (PC)
Did my dallies and such. Still procrastinating on the Fungus event since it's absolute garbage and the only event that competes with Windtrace in being absolute ass. I'll get it done at the last minute like I normally do, but man do I hate it.
Fire Emblem Fates (3DS)
I kind of overleveled my team and now I'm just crushing through chapters. Not that it's a bad thing since Fates is super trash, so the faster I get this game done, the better. Though I have two more playthroughs to do after this one, so I still have a lot of pain left to go through.

Hogwarts Legacy
I haven't played much of this so far, since I've been focusing on Transport Fever and The Sims 4 (and on getting up to a rating of 1500 on Chess.com
). But I played a bit more this evening. I went to Hogsmeade, and defeated an armoured troll (on my third attempt) - but now, I'm back in the common room, ready to start my next mission 
.

Yooooo me too! I started with best boy Alfyn though. Going clockwise, onto my final party acquisition of Primrose and I'll probably advance Alfyn's story next. It is very enjoyable and chill.
Also playing my Pokemon Black/White 3: Genesis ROMhack; grinding up a little for the 3rd gym. I've swapped a few different mons in, so I left myself with a bit of catch up, but I have a solid team I think: Houndoor (Fire/Dark), Blitzle (Elec), Dewott (Water), Drilbur (Ground/Steel), Woobat (Psychic/Flying), and Tympole (Water). Depending on how Tympole's stats work out compared to Dewott's once it evolves, I may swap it for Trapinch or Litwick.

Civilization VI
Now that my sister's back home, we've started a new game. I'm playing as the Netherlands, and she's playing as Carthage. So far, we've got four cities each - but we already seem to be running out of places to settle :-/ !

Metroid Dread randomizer
continuing to familiarize myself with this game, I tried a harder seed. Less power ups, harder enemies right in the beginning, AND doors are randomized. Not rando rooms like you can do in Super Metroid, but the doors themselves are random. What was once a regular door might be a super missile door now.
yes i am struggling with it.

Entrance rando
You're a mad man, monocle.I do love going all in on a first rando. Did that with Pokémon Crystal. Unfortunately I fucked myself into actually completing it but at least I got to "Go Mode".
(I just have to beat Red but he's got all level 100s and my team is half that level Still, I was proud of finding everything when I got to that point.
RE: Last Game You Played - Kyng - Apr 16th, 2023
The Sims 4... I'm back to that now that my sister's gone home
.(By the way, we didn't quite manage to complete our game of Civilization VI... although we did get into a winning position, so I'll just assume we would have won!)

9 Years of Shadows
Fun little metroidvania. I had a lot of fun with it and some bosses were actually pretty difficult. I would recommend to anyone who likes the genre like I do. The pixel art was extremely impressive though. Definitely the thing that stuck out the most
RE: Last Game You Played - Dragon Lord - Apr 18th, 2023
Genshin Impact (PC)
Finished Nahida's second character story back on Sunday night so I could unlock the new weekly boss and clear it before the week reset. Thankfully the quest was rather short and didn't take long to get through at all. The new weekly boss is neat, but just another boss that gets completely negated by Zhongli's shield. It's a three-phase fight, which is kind of annoying because I'd like some shorter weekly bosses. While the multi-phase fights are neat at first, after a few weeks of doing them they become a slog. Hoping that eventually Hoyo will add skip tickets that can be used to instantly clear a weekly boss and claim the rewards. Even if they lock them to the Battle Pass. Just something to take away from the slog of having to clear every weekly boss every week, especially since we're up to eight of them now, and only going to get more from here on out.
Other than that I've just been working on building my Nilou and setting up the right team for her, which unfortunately requires me to build another character (Collei) and get a completely new artifact set for my Kokomi. On the bright side, I ended up having some good enough pieces of the artifact set I need for Collei, so that's a lot less farming I'll have to do. Though I need to farm her level materials to get her past level 60.
ANNO: Mutationem (PS4)
Decided to boot up this game after finishing Hogwarts Legacy, since a short indie game sounded like a nice break after a lengthy game like Hogwarts. So far I'm having a lot of fun with it, my only major complaint about the gameplay being that there's a small delay between attacking and when you can dodge roll, which can make combat feel a tad clunky at times. I was very surprised to find out that this game has voice acting in it... especially the fact that it has both English and Japanese voice acting. Not often you see indie games with voice acting, let alone two different languages.
