Born of Bread! 5 hours in! There's A LOT to love here 🥹 the presentation and vibe of the game are so comfy! This game radiates positive energy and it makes me so happy playing it 😊 The game is also super fun! It pays homage to Paper Mario and it does it really well! So far, it's an absolute blast!

I love the character stories in the Shinovi Versus 😊 iirc they're optional, but they add so much to the characters that tbh you miss out on a lot of you skip em

I've never heard this OST, but there's something so nostalgic about this track, oh my goodness 🥹 it sounds like something Nintendo would've made during the DS/Wii era!

The artstyle is awesome! Have a good night as well 😄

Born of Bread added a livestreaming mechanic to the combat! ngl, dunno if it'll get deeper, but currently it mainly contributes to MP regeneration. It's a cool element to see tho! The character sprites having a damaged state is cool as well! The little details go a long way tbh 😊

Estival is a lot of fun! The game does feel slower, but it's still awesome! I actually played more of Estival than I did Shinovi (100 hrs vs 80 hrs)

ngl I'm interested to hear more about Arc Raiders! I feel like I've heard hella about BF6 already lmao Arc Raiders feels like it's been a bit more lowkey tho, I've seen the hype but not much else tbh :P

That's kinda weird fr, my account is 14 years old and I think I've gotten at least 5 packs during that time (forget when they started trading cards, I think it was around 2015)

How does Yozakura play in Shinovi Versus? She was a tank in Estival Versus, but I can't remember if she moved the same in Shinovi tbh :P

This track is called PROVE (小春テーマ曲)! Super underrated game, the devs also did work on some Senran Kagura games as well!

Banger OST time! This is Koharu's battle theme in Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkuni! This theme is perfect for Koharu! She is considered the strongest Valkyrie on the island, and this track portrays that perfectly! Shredding guitar, the bopping percussion, and the strings...by goodness, they're beautiful 🥹
