What are y’all playing?

I played a lot more blue prince as usual, but I also reached the end of my journey. Everything left is beyond what I feel is fun to pursue unfortunately. I’ll keep my eye on it and any updates. If any definitive end is found I’ll probably hop back in and make my way through. But for now I got to where I could on my own, which was pretty far and I’m happy about that :)

Now I’m not sure what to play. Been playing some random stuff on my modded 3ds

    I’m finally free from La Mulana. It took me 50 hours, and I had to look up hints for a couple of puzzles that I couldn’t figure out towards the end (and I’m still not sure how you were supposed to solve them without guessing).

    The puzzles were manageable for the most part, although not knowing what solving a puzzle did made it needlessly more confusing and IMO a bit unsatisfying.

    I found the combat to be too hard and unfair in boss fights and the hitboxes were really bad as they often didn’t match the graphics.

    I’m conflicted on if I enjoyed it or not - the experience was quite unique (for good or bad), and the game being hostile and designed to waste as much time as possible is a big part of that identity.

    The weird controls grow on you and navigation never got boring, as you plan a safe path through the screen. I found the story to be surprisingly interesting, the puzzles were memorable and while I disliked most boss fights, I did enjoy the final one and the previous quite a bit.

    Probably gonna play the sequel sometime and also other metroidvanias, as it’s a genre I haven’t paid much attention to.
