Dark Alliance is a buggy, clunky mess, unfortunately.  I was fine with it just being an average brawler, but he combat is just non-responsive and the lock on is practically broken.  First game I've abandoned in a couple of years.

What temperature does to you. Rather than using an actual Playstation or PS3 to play Castlevania SOTN, I opted to try to play it on the computer, which is where the big fan in my house points towards. But at least I am learning to use Retroarch. Opend the possibility for me to maybe play some of my Japanese games I dont have consoles for, or Xbox games where my consoles do not work.

Working on replaying at the moment.

I just beat the first Mass Effect and moved on to the 2nd.

I'm going to start playing my Game Gear a bit more now that I got my Everdrive.
Looking forward to playing the following on it:
 - Micro Machines
 - Indiana Jones
 - Gunstar Heroes

Then I got a great HD adapter for my PS2 so that reopens my PS1 and PS2 games again. I started playing SSX 3 again and even the kids love it more than most modern games. Funny how that works.

Scarlet Nexus. On the second character playthrough. Might be my fave game so far this year.

My friend recommend The Persistence to me, I saw there was a deal for it where if I bought the original PS4 VR release it could act as a PS5 upgrade with the disc - For £5 I thought I'd give it a go. The game simply isn't for me, I don't generally like rogue-type games and I found the trial and error gameplay beyond tedious. One point I did an object bu twas them ambushed by two brute characters and died. I think I did the objective I needed too but wasn't sure, yet to even check I would have to navigate all the way back (through a randomly generated layout) to find out - I'm good.

I haven't played a Final Fantasy this year so I may go try one of the ones I have yet to beat - FF2 on PSP or the 3D Remake of FF3.

Ys IX has been a lot of fun so far. However, I said the same thing about Ys VIII when I first started it.

So, I'm still being cautiously optimistic.

Was going to try playing Neverwinter Nights but apparently my DVD drive is failing and I'll have to replace it.

The perfect Diablo-style RPG! Love that one!

I started up Nioh a couple of days ago.  I, probably like most folks, had it in my head that this was a Souls clone from the Ninja Gaiden folks... but it kind of isn't.  I've never played a Ninja Gaiden game, so I really can't say if there are comparisons, but I'll definitely give NG a try sometime soon.  I'll write more about it in my 52 games review of it, but this game gives me conflicting emotions.

I'm on the last boss of Sekiro.  The game as a whole has actually been easier that I was expecting, but this final boss is definitely more up to what my expectation was.

The final boss was fun yet frustrating. I think I died more times against those bizarre purple demons than the final boss, so there's that.

I didn't do any of the Headless or the "terror" warriors.  That instakill debuff was kinda bullcrap so I only tried a couple of times.  The last boss took about 10-15% of my total playtime to beat.  I just really struggled with phase 2 for a while.  I did generally find it fair, except for a few things here and there, but it was pretty fun.

Oh man, I remember those guys, hated dealing with those dudes.

I remember the final boss being trying, but enjoyable to overcome.  I think I recall one of the tower bosses being one of my most hated bosses though.

Yeah, the second Asshina Master was probably my most hated mini-boss in the game.

Yeah, that was probably it.
