And I also hope BoF will get a sequel! npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @nprofile…t2zk The other one is Quadrillion. Quite larger than the IQ puzzles, this one has four two-sided magnetic board tiles that you can arrange in any order and position, and tgere is always a solution on how to fit all the pieces. I've spent a lot of time on this one trying to find the right place for all the pieces 😆 https://mstdn.games/system/media_attachments/files/115/362/121/648/958/415/original/0fa4885a98557c6e.jpg npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @nprofile…t2zk I believe I have, all I'll say is that you don't need to worry about that one for now 🙂 npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @nprofile…t2zk I like it, but since combat is melee based, I rather have some more visibility around me 😛 npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK I've been making some progress in #BladesOfFire and I'm having a great time. Combat is super tense, and it does extremely well in differentiating itself from other soulslikes by having a very unique combat style. But at the same time, right now it is hard to the point of frustration. Dying means loaing your weapon, and more often than not that one is the one that is actually good against the type of enemy you're facing in the area... Which means that either you have two of each (in this economy??) or you'll have to dash through the area to recover it, easily risking ending up with a mob behind you. Still, I guess it's a matter of getting used to the game (I've only played for a couple of days so far), but it looks very promising, and the areas look stunning 😍 npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @nprofile…t2zk Hahaha oh no! I would love to, but I don't think I'd be able to attend the concerts... If not, I'd already have got tickets myself! npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK My DS was out of juice this last weekend so while it charged I tried Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and... I'm hooked. It's a quite enjoyable game, super cinematic, and I like what they've done with the combat. I've heard it called a souls-like, but I disagree. I see it much closer to the new God of War games where yes, combat is not a walk in the park, but at the same time it's much more forgiving than what a souls game would be, and the emphasis is more on the plot, exploration, and puzzle-solving. And there are several ideas brought from metroidvanias, which play quite nicely into the game design. My one critique so far is that backtracking is sometimes tedious, there's been times when I've gone exploring some small cave I couldn't access before because I lacked the required ability to reach, and trying to figure out how to get there has been more running in circles than anything else, as I find the holomap hard to read. #StarWars #JediFallenOrder npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @nprofile…zw3r That's absolutely savage. npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK Ok, we're nearly at the end of the year, so it's time to reveal my pick of this year's #GOTYs. Few criteria here: They can't be replays (otherwise Metar Gear Rising: Revengeance would have a fixed position in the list), and they don't have to be games released in 2024, only games that I have played this year. I haven't listed the games in any particular order, and there will be a few honourable mentions for games I really enjoyed but didn't quite cut it for the final six. It has been extremely hard to pick only 6 games for 2024, because I have played several outstanding games, and the list could easily be three times as long as it is now. Anyway, here's my top picks for the #2024HKGOTYs: https://questlog.app/u/HK/playlists/hk-gotys-2024--zn90rm7m Comments on the games are 🧵 to this, but in quiet mode (hopefully that won't saturate people's TLs) npub1a624sa4jk8mjufk3kyxe6l6rf2vurkd57elnyjnlcwk54m4fzzuqccd6mu HK @npub1qep…hklj I asked about it before, but just in case... Can we have Tactical Breach Wizards in the list please? 😇
