Thanks for the detailed review — especially the part about the narrative, which was more positive than it usually is in reviews, made me happy. I still haven’t gotten around to Yotei yet (so many games, too little time), but I definitely plan to fix that.

❤️ they're cute!

And Persona Phantom X - Some activities (like exploring dungeons) don’t control all that well for me, but the combat feels completely fine.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 1d

I fought Bayle without him (I messed up the quest). In the next playthrough, I have to fix that!

Slice & Dice – an absolute hit, it has portrait mode on mobile and plays excellently. I recommend it (not just) to fans of Slay the Spire, Balatro and similar games. Warning: it’s just as addictive.

Valor Mortis test impression – it’s fine, but I have an issue with the 1st person view. Sometimes I had trouble noticing enemies coming from the side. Otherwise, it played well, with a satisfying parry and something like Bloodborne’s rally. Visually nice, gore fans will enjoy it.
I died a lot.

I’m in Chapter 2 of FF Tactics and it feels like the hardest tRPG I’ve played so far. Yasumi Matsuno clearly has a thing for complex game systems... but it’s absolutely brilliant.
Today I read this article from 2013, and imo it’s the best game guide on the internet :D

Man, Final Fantasy Tactics Sure Had A Steep Learning Curve - Kotaku

Earlier this week, I talked to some game developers about why they love Final Fantasy Tactics. But beloved or not, man, does this game have a steep

I made it to the top of the mountain today! Considering that just two weeks ago I couldn’t even land a single pogo jump, I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come.
The platforming in Silksong is super hard for me and takes forever, but that just makes it even more satisfying when I finally pull it off.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 8d

They are (at least the ones I’ve played :)). Tactics is, of course, quite different in terms of gameplay compared to the mainline FF games, but I’m hoping the story will be just as interesting — I’m still too early to tell though.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 9d

I've completed a few missions, and it's awesome, even though it's still pretty easy so far. But it looks beautiful. I bought it on the Switch, so I'm saving most of it for an upcoming trip.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 11d

I played only the OG, but I totally agree, the ending is insane. It definitely goes onto my (imaginary) list of top cliffhangers in video games.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 11d

Silksong, but I’m most looking forward to FF Tactics, which I hope I’ll finally get into properly this weekend.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 12d

I like it a lot, though I’m realizing that playing as a bad guy doesn’t really sit well with me. My Arthur is as good-hearted as possible, but sometimes the game forces me to do things that don’t feel great. What I absolutely love, though, is just spending time in the nature.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 12d

RDR2 (that’s especially why I don’t want to start Yotei, I don’t want to play two open-worlds at the same time...),
Silksong, Mario Wonder, Portal 2 co-op, and today I should finally get to FF Tactics. And also Persona Phantom X.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 12d

Beautiful shots, it looks amazing. I really like how it focuses more on stylization/artistic impression rather than realism.
I definitely plan to play it, but I already have so many games in progress that I’ll have to put it off for later.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 13d

One of the games I envied PS1 owners the most. It finally arrived 😊.
I may already have four games in progress, but a fifth one is about to be added.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 13d

Well, maybe there’s still a chance it’ll come today. Fingers crossed :) But I think there’s plenty to play in the meantime anyway :)

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 14d

The whole article describes me perfectly, I still confuse left and right too. I always keep the compass equipped in Silksong, in Clair Obscur I kept getting lost, and when my phone dies in real life, I’m completely hopeless without navigation. It’s nice to know there are more of us who struggle :)

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 14d

This article feels as if I had written it myself, word for word. In Clair Obscur I walked in circles several times, and in Silksong I never take off the compass. It’s a hard life.

Our Love-Hate Relationship with Silksong's Compass

The misguided way Hollow Knight: Silksong has its compass take up an item slot adds frustration for frustration's sake.

I’m waiting too, it should arrive tomorrow (at least I got a message that the delivery service already has it). I’ve got so many games in progress that it doesn’t really matter, even though I’m really looking forward to it.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 14d

thanks! that’s really nice of you :)

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 15d

Ohh, enjoy! I ordered it today, it should arrive the day after tomorrow (I regret not remembering earlier). I’m really looking forward to it – my most anticipated game for the rest of this year.

Shakra isn’t just a cool singer, but also a cool fighter. She completely smashed this little fly in about half the number of hits it takes me. Too bad she can’t go everywhere with me.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 20d

Justice for All looks like the first Phoenix Wright and plays the same. Case quality is uneven — the last one was amazing, but I had to force myself through the second-to-last. The great soundtrack returns. Humor is sometimes awesome, sometimes a bit cringe.

Lenka @hubackovalenka.bsky.social · 21d

Not a big fan of AR games, but I am really interested in this. I often feel a bit like in Death Stranding when I’m in the mountains...
