Discussion What are you currently playing? (Week 21 of 2025)

[Cacher]

New week, new thread! What are you playing?

Post-game depression continues. I played Megaton Musashi W a bit but I am not feeling it. Devoted most of my free time into movies instead. Let's see if I can enjoy some games this week.

Give Megaton Musashi some more time. Trust me. It is worth it.

As for me, with DOOM The Dark Ages done, I'm working on some indies I wanted to play like Despelote and also catching up with Idea Factory International releases until Fantasy Life and Elden.

Give Megaton Musashi some more time. Trust me. It is worth it.

I definitely will return to it. Probably just need to take a short break from gaming.

Finished Trials of Mana, did the post game area. And now I'm doing NG+ to see the other stories. Honestly since the game gives you an ability that gives you a 300% XP bonus (+ the random 3x multiplier that you can unlock) you progress so fast, that it's not bad (I'm nearly at the mid point after a couple of hours).

Haven't posted in a while since I've just done my usual gacha rotation and spent the rest of my time reading, but also got motivated again to write after coming across a youtube writing lecture series from Brandon Sanderson (from this year even) and have been outlining a new story (it's coming along quite well!)

But I am happy to report that I finished Aqua's route in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep this weekend, which was the last one. That took very, very long (even tough each route itself is just ~6 hours or so, on Beginner at least). But honestly ended up enjoying the game quite a lot.
And with this I can wrap up the entire KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX- collection (what a mouthful), cause I ain't gonna watch the Re:Coded "movie". Already started Dream Drop Distance from KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (yet another mouthful) and it seems fun. I didn't expect this to have a monster collection aspect and movement/traversal is a lot more open.

Lots of V Rising

Started Atelier Ryza 2 last week and that's what I'm mainly playing now. Very breezy.

I should probably finish Forgotton Anne, I don't imagine I have a ton of game left there.

Making progress with ClairObscur. Hit the Gestral Village. Was not expecting such a huge area, with so many funny bits in it.

Also playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Hit the second area, namely Gizeh. Switching up the Blackshirts from the Vatican area with actual Nazis. Feeling a lot like the Wolfenstein games, but I guess that comparison can't be helped since they are both from MachineGame . Still weird to get such perfect German VA, even very good at making it sound old fashioned at times.

Finished up with Logy's route in Atelier Escha & Logy, and started Escha's route in NG+ immediately. The alchemy system is fun compared to Ayesha's, but the endings didn't quite hit the right notes. I'm not exactly sure why that is because the slice of life bits in the character events are quite fun, and the dynamics between the two alchemists are pretty good, as well.

I'll have to see if the True Ending will change my opinion.

 

[texhnolyze]

Still playing Oblivion. I just beat the main quest last night, so I'll be venturing to Shivering Isles this evening. Tainted Grail is due this weekend, so I guess I'm still on course to finishing Oblivion by then.

 

[Dinjoralo]

Fantasy Life I is a good time. There's an air of refinement to everything, the animations especially, that put it a cut above the average release. It's also a surprisingly good PC release too, with uncapped framerates, ultrawide, HDR, and pretty decent performance.

 

[STHX]

Finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. An incredible experience and I'm sure this game will stay in my mind for a lot of time

 

[einstellung]

Finished Attack on Titan 2 and my replay of Dishonored 2.

Trials Rising getting achievements prodded me to re-install. I was on fire. I got a platinum medal on an extreme track with zero faults. I've never done that before: https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12462757923022238119/4F0A2101157D5F0712903B0DC57914592CDEF571/

Edit: Also, did a Randomized run of Yoku's Island Express. The pinball metroidvania. I got hard stuck 4 hours in and gave up. I assume there's safe guards implemented to prevent becoming stuck but I gave up after a half an hour of being clueless.
