Thanks, Eurogamer, for running this. It remains crazy how intentionally silenced this story has been in games media, so it's good to see someone bravely report on it.

Taking my time with Lost Odyssey - the game has major FF vibes (for obvious reasons). I’m enjoying the slow pace, the music is beautiful and even though the combat can be a bit challenging, I think I understand the mechanics enough not to get stuck on a boss (hopefully I didn’t just jinx myself)

Hey y'all do me a huge favor and share Hypnospace's 76% off (!!!) winter sale with your friends, families, and colleagues - the sequel Dreamsettler is quite literally funded directly from sales of Hypnospace, so every dollar spent on HSO goes toward development of DS! Thx <3

Shiren’s gameloop reminds me of Hades a bit where it’s tough but manageable and you just want to keep playing even when you keep losing because it’s just fun.
Shiren, storytelling, Serpentcoils, and samurai grasshoppers:

Shiren the Wanderer's simple graphics disguise a systems-dense roguelike full of the emergent stories I love the genre for
The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island can spin an epic yarn without saying a single word.

When I saw the "Heretic Prophet" subtitle for this, I was like 'oh, okay, of course.' I know lots of great folks work at Naughty Dog, but I simply do not trust Druckmann to tell a story about religion.

Was itching to play a JRPG after finishing up DAV and decided to finally play Lost Odyssey all the way through. I forget how well that game has aged compared to other games that came out in that era.
