Beat the first campaign in Fire Emblem Three Houses (I did the Blue Lion House). This is the best Fire Emblem game to date. It is crazy that the other two campaigns are different and not just reskins… Took me 42 hours and 41 minutes on Normal difficulty with the Classic rules (permadeath).

11/10?

I’ve always played permadeath but I’ve never been able to finish any fire emblem game because a character I really liked would die and I would be too sad to continue playing.

They added a mechanic where you can roll back time, so it makes permadeath pretty meaningless.

Unless you just can’t progress without a sacrifice, which I assume would happen on the harder difficulty

I finished the Link’s Awakening remake on Switch. It is a really well done remake of one of my favorites. The new graphics and reorchestrstion were nice. There was some slowdowns on the poor Switch when it moved between areas. I’d give it a 8/10. I’m a bit biased towards Zelda games though.

The only reason I’ll never buy Link’s Awakening are the ads that I get pretty much everywhere. Turn on the TV, Link’s Awakening is there. Open the newspaper, Link’s Awakening is there. Go outside to see god, Link’s Awakening is there. It’s more annoying than anything.

It is a fun game. I don’t think it was worth $60 since it was “just” a remake.

Look down after you use the toilet, Link’s Awakening is there.

I beat Astral Chain after about 24 hours. It was a great Platinum game. The story is super anime. I highly recommend it.

Just beat Jedi Fallen Order. It was a solid 7/10. Took me about 18 hours to finish on normal difficulty. The story was pretty great (though I am sucker for Star Wars). Combat was pretty fun, it was really focused on watching enemies and seeing their patterns. You can’t just go ham on people and expect to win.

Why just 7?

I wouldn’t say it was an excellent game. It was “free”, so maybe I am jaded :smiley:

I’d have bought it though and say it is worth $60.

You’re a 7/10

I’ll take it!

I beat Pokemon Sword today. I think the base gameplay was fun. There were some new things that were cool, and some really nice quality of life changes. It wasn’t any kind of wild, drastic new Pokemon, but I enjoyed it a lot. I’d give it a solid 8/10. With minimal grinding, I finished it in 25:55.

I love it so far. The updated graphics and things like camping make it way better.

It’s shit. Mostly because Digimon > Pokemon
