Playing Paper Mario ! Finished Chapter 2, just started Chapter 3. I think with this speed, it’s going to take me 5-6 more weeks to finish the game. 😀
What about all of you? What have you been playing?

What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Finished Picross S5.
Me last week:
Yeah, that was a lie and I didn’t move on before 100% it. Now waiting for S6 to go on sale to pick it up.
Finished Cassette Beasts: Pier of the Unknown
Speaking of sales, I picked a couple of things that were on sale, and one of them was the Cassette Beasts DLC.
Now, overall this was a fun side-story, but it’s way too short. While $6 for a ~2 hours of entertainment wasn’t the worst purchase I’ve made, I was definitely expecting a bit more of content from this one.
Playing Minoria
Another one I picked up on sale, a Metroidvania from the same developers of Momodora. Overall it’s not a bad game, but it’s incredibly frustrating at times.
The damage numbers are crazy high in this game. Random mobs often hit you for 30-50% of your life bar, and some boss attacks can kill you from anything less than full health. Feels like this game was designed for people who love mastering boss patterns so they can beat them without taking a hit, which unfortunately is not something I enjoy.
At least it looks like I’m on the final battle, so it should be done soon.
Playing Witch on the Holy Night.
While I did more-or-less remember what was going on in the story before I paused this game, it was also fairly early in the story so I decided to start over. Almost done catching up to where I was before.
Have you played any of the Momodora games? I keep seeing them, but haven’t gotten around to playing any of them.
I’ve played Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight and I liked it a lot more than Minoria.
While it shares some of the design issues I mentioned with Minoria, it does offer an Easy mode and more combat options like ranged attacks which make it more enjoyable experience overall. The powerups and overall exploration is more fun too IMO.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the info!
What did you think of Cassette Beasts? I watched a play through of that one not long ago with mixed reaction. But, I’m curious as to how others received it and how they felt about playing through it.
Loved it. I’m not usually a fan of monster capture games, only managed to finish one Pokemon game (Alpha Sapphire) and even then I only did the bare mimum to see the ending because I was getting really bored.
This game however got me completely addicted, played it non-stop for 5 days to see the ending, and keep coming back for short play sections hunting Rogue Fusions or trying to complete the bestiary.
Left a mini-review in a post a few weeks ago: https://lemmy.world/comment/6623727
Ah! That’s interesting. I’m playing Alpha Sapphire right now. I love Pokemon, but tend toward the newer gens because they have more story.
Older games, or games that mimic older styles, can be pretty hit and miss for me as a result, even though I can appreciate a lot of the work and complexity put into them from an outside view (watching someone else play).
Revisiting the anime got me on a Hoenn kick, so here we are.
If you like indie games, and if you enjoy puzzles and story, have you ever tried Ib? It’s a short indie psychological horror game that is all puzzles (no fighting), but really interesting.
Don’t think I’ve heard of that game before, will take a look.
