Trying to be good and chill on new game purchases until Tactics. Finally checking this out. Not sure what to think yet. Not hooked and don’t enjoy the combat like I thought I would. But do like some elements for sure. We’ll see how it goes. #FateSamuraiRemnant

Been mondo excited for this one. Huge thank you to @ultrabrilliant.xyz for putting this together. Love it already even after just skimming it.

I’ve been sick for over a week, head too foggy to think of playing fighting games. I haven’t even tried 2XKO but… all I really wanna play right now in VF and a side dish of CotW. On meds now for Pneumonia so I’m hoping this fog lifts soon. /dear diary

I’m all in on the VF news coming up at TGS. But we already know that’s coming. I’m really, really hopeful we get information on the new Ace Combat title. And I’m really, really, naively hopeful Namco surprises us by announcing a new, proper Ridge Racer.

Not that I doubted the CrossCode team but this demo was even better than I expected. Instantly fell in love. Then began loving it more as more sub-sytems and skills unlocked. Combat feels so good already. Cannot wait for the full game now. #AlabasterDawn

Got the true ending. After Act 2 I was so ready to say I only liked the: -Boss battles -Tool loadouts -NPC interactions Music seemed good but felt like it took a back seat for a lot of the game. But then Act 3 was SO good that it made me like the game more. #Silksong (1/2)

This demo actually blew me away. The level of polish, quality of life and level of charm it still managed to capture is nuts. And this battle system had me insta-hooked. Been itching to try the series in earnest, this seems like the best time, now. #TrailsintheSky1stChapter

Imagine enjoying the later parts of Silksong, couldn’t be me lol. Nah, it’s a good game. It’s just, I feel it’s too tedious and too time intensive for what it is. I’ve really soured on the game tbh. Mostly enjoying bosses and not much else now. 😔 #Silksong

A couple months back, remember all the sudden discussion around “friction” in games and whether or not games today are too streamlined for their own good? Well, Silksong is chalk-full of “friction” lol. Imo, too much tbh, to the point of impacting overall enjoyment. #Silksong

Still trucking. Just made it to act 2, so will probably hold off on screenshots for a while. I -think- I’m actually liking this more than HK so far. It’s stressful though 😅 These boss runbacks are no joke like others have been saying and currency is scarce. #Silksong

With Hell Is Us (Incredible) done, time to see what the hubbub is about with this. Context: I loved HK and cite it as the game that kicked off my MV addiction but feel it’s a teensy bit “overhyped.” Anyway, playing on Steel Soul difficulty to prove I’m |-|42DK023. #Silksong

I beat this tonight. What a phenomenal game. It was so refreshing to play a game where the dev team was confident in their choices and they trusted the player to, just figure it out. Beyond the no map, no quest marker thing, there was so much I loved about it. (1/2) #HellIsUs

Still trucking, still in awe of the game. Bit stuck at the moment but kind of enjoying the struggle on how to progress. Purposely not sharing some of the cooler screenshots cause they were real ‘holy $#^&!’ moments to me and want others to experience that. (1/2) #HellIsUs

This was me being a dork crap posting of course. I really like it already, but I dunno if I’ma loooove it yet. Began feeling comfortable towards the end but had no clue what I was doing really ^ -^ Quick thoughts pictured in here: + Positives - Negatives +- Mixed ? Unsure bsky.app/profile/krsj...

Two minutes in, I returned the beta. No post KO actions. Sigh, another garbage modern fighter. (Wow the game feels really good right out the gate. And thanks all for the videos leading up to this, helped me learn quicker for sure) #Tokon

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. closed beta test announced - focusing on cross-platform online matchmaking between PS5/Xbox Series/Steam buff.ly/nFDSwBY

Not to overhype but this game has me in awe now. Hit a point where I’m like, ‘is this in contention with my own personal GotY??’ Even with its “flaws”, I don’t want to stop playing. #HellIsUs

Been pretty stoked for this but just learned the other day they utilized AI for some voice work (seemingly just the robotic voices you kinda hear throughout?) So now I’m conflicted. Don’t want to support AI use that replaces a creative role 😔 #MetalEden bsky.app/profile/krsj...

Caved and grabbed this last night, already glad I did. Game is incredible so far. I am an unintelligent individual so the rush I get from solving even the simple puzzles is absurd haha. Genuinely wanting to listen to dialogue and read lore bits is rare for me. #HellIsUs

I feel bad about pointing out Lost Soul Aside’s low review scores. Of course don’t ever let others’ reviews or scores dictate what you want to try. Heck, Wanted: Dead is one of my favorite action games in the last few years. I’ll comment on review scores less going forward 🙇

I’m excited for Silksong, I am, but I think I might make this my September 4th purchase between the two. I’m even tempted to get the deluxe version for early access but that’s a chunk of coin. Dunno, the demo really intrigued me. It felt so unique yet familiar. #HellIsUs

I have to eat a tiny bit of crow as there are some things I liked. But it mostly seems like what I was kind of worried about. Note, not trying to yuck anyone’s yum or dunk on the team behind this, I just don’t think it’s the hype, for me. Random thought dump: #LostSoulAside

Checked out the demo real quick. Couldn’t get versus battle working but happy to report that the soul of Lumines seems to be very in-tact with this one. Only gripe I had was that the visuals were a little too wild by default lol. Had to tone some of them down. #LiminesArise

I see so many ignorant takes online for the sake of signaling one’s virtue. No need to dunk on something you’re not even fully educated on to convince yourself you’re a decent person. It’s frustrating. Can’t engage with it though, lose/lose situation there. So my best attempt is a sub post. 😔

Got all of the collectibles, checked out arcade mode and boss rush mode. Platinum looks like a real commitment though, dunno if I’ll go for that 😅 Amazing game though. I think my only wishlist item would be just frames/timed hits. Otherwise, 🥷/10 #ShinobiArtofVengeance

I mean, I don’t want to get too crazy with it, but has anyone ever seen Adol Christin and Joe Musashi in the same game before? Cause both help a lot of people and don’t really ever say much. Starting to wonder… 🤔 #ShinobiArtofVengeance

Continuing the Year of the Ninja™️. The demo and review scores made it seem likely but I think this one is something special. Super digging it so far. Loving the love they’ve showed for SEGA and the IP. The controls, artwork, collectibles, etc. #ShinobiArtofVengeance

Caved and checked out the early access of VOID/BREAKER real quick. Pretty insane package from a solo developer. Took a couple runs to grasp what I should really be doing (Heavier focus on constant movement/managing enemy staggers) but it's mighty fun once I got it. #VOIDBREAKER

This game is insane to me tbh. It’s like a an idea for a PS2 game was cryogenically frozen then thawed out today and had some modern touches added to it. Felt like Armored Core x Drakengard x Dirge of Cerberus x Monster Hunter to me. And I kinda like it 😅 #TitanicScion (Demo)

Got the true ending. What a fantastic roguelike, probably a top-fiver for me honestly. -Tip-top music -Fun movement and traversal -Satisfying builds (more so later on) -Bite sized but good story, nails the ending -Good carrots to chase -Awesome visual style #RoguePrinceOfPersia

Don't worry small, adorable child, Sam Fisher will save you! I hate these segments. Actually that's a lie, I love them cause they're so do-or-die and really fun. But having to rescue a kid stresses me the heck out haha. #RoguePrinceOfPersia

So since Rogue PoP is officially out with this 1.0 release, can we be sure to get it included with the Best Soundtrack nominees this year? Man, they have added SO much and tuned a ton since I tried early access. Having a blast with it already 🫨 #RoguePrinceOfPersia

Lmao, my entire feed is that moment. Damn. Fighting games. They are amazing.

What an incredible experience. Some earlier moments I kinda questioned it a bit but man, the environments, the music, the sense of exploration and the ending? New game plus is awesome, too. What a game. (Purposely not sharing later areas) #SwordOfTheSea

Just finished the first ending. My take is, this is a game that won't "review well" but is actually something really special. It also showed me I don't always know what I want in a game. Loved the: -Art -Soundtrack -Main character -Dialogue -Humor -Overall story #ArtisImpact

Been checking out the BF beta. So far I’m really liking it. It’s reminding me of ‘older days’ of CoD a little, in a good way. I’ve never played a BF before so I’m trying to test out all the vehicles and what not. This sequence was funny to me 😅 First time as a gunner and… well

Dear god(s) if you exist, forgive me for I have abandoned my morals. Not only did I try one but I have been playing a gacha game 😔 The battle system is too good and it’s scratching my Front Mission itch. And I’ve been able to progress for free so far 🤞 #Mecharashi

I really think CotW might be the toughest modern fighter I’ve tried to learn. Like, it makes me feel new to fighting games again haha. Yeah I can hit buttons, do combos and stuff but to form a real game plan? To understand how and when to GC? It’s amazing, just tough😅 #CotW

These four video games all release within a week of each other and I can’t tell if that’s amazing or terrible.🫨 And man, September and October are ridiculously stacked too 😔

Huzzah! Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant is out! Alongside it, the soundtrack is officially released, too! This music was a lot of fun to write, so I very much hope you enjoy it. Thank you, everyone! Bandcamp: esoundsignal.bandcamp.com/album/chaine... DLC: store.steampowered.com/app/3350260/...

Trailer caught my eye a while back, looked quirky/unique but also really cool. Took a "gamble" and picked it up today. Only a couple hours in but already loving it. I'd share screenshots but for now I'll just link the launch trailer. #ArtisImpact youtu.be/N68SmJ5OMxQ?...

Been slowly working on another playthrough to check out the Mann and Scarlet bosses they added. Both fights were rad but the Scarlet fight was one of the coolest bosses I’ve played in games. The arena changing appearance midway through was too cool. #StellarBlade

I dunno how I feel about the slo-mo stuff and the losing teeth thing but regardless it’s looking faaaaaantastic if that’s actual gameplay. Damn. Cannot wait for news from TGS now 🫨 youtu.be/KkGmeofGSw0?... #VF6

EVO is so dangerous to watch. Especially if you’re there live with the crowed atmosphere. Because you’ll be watching a game you either don’t love or have never played and you’ll be like ‘Yup, I’m gonna pick this up and play it for real.’

I didn't want to cross wires and try the Shinobi demo while playing Ragebound. This game is flipping gorgeous in motion/in person, holy cow wowzers wow. Reckon this game is gonna be incredible, too. Can't wait for full release. #ShinobiAoV (Demo)

“Beat” hard mode and got the secret ending. I had to cheat so hard using the assists. I think hard mode might make this the toughest game I have ever played and I don’t think I’m exaggerating. Can’t wait to see some psycho no hit run it all somehow 😅 #NGRagebound

Work smarter not harder. This game is so rad. Beat normal mode and at the end of hard now. I’m not going to front, I’m hella using assists because hard mode is actually insane haha. Can’t wait to see good players and speed runners tackle hard mode. #NGRagebound

Hope everyone has an amazing time at EVO! Hey, if you could do me a favor, I know it’s a bit of an ask. Don’t talk about or post anything EVO related on here. Thanks. Fifth year straight of missing it and this year hurts more than others with VF’s presence there this year.😢

Feel the rhythm Feel the rhyme Get on up It’s Ragebound time It’s even better than the demo lead me to believe 🥹 It feels so insanely well crafted. The Blasphemous team has done it again. I’m like beaming over how good it is. #NGRagebound

Do you like demos? I apparently do lately. Almost didn't check it out cause of the aesthetic. It's very clean and vibrant, but also very sterile, doesn't have much of an identity visually imo. But, it feels great and has some slick skills/abilities. Curious🤔 #Godbreakers
