Finished Bulletstorm. This game was just a ton of fun and pure action from start to finish. I loved the skillshot-system too.

The characters were all kinda unlikable macho dudes, but the story was still alright overall and mostly what you would expect from a game like this.

Yeah, or how he cuts off Hermes' legs just to get his shoes. Kratos is a lunatic. 😆

Finished God of War 3. GoW 2 set the bar pretty damn high, but GoW 3 still managed to surpass it in every way, imo.

I almost felt sorry for the gods, because Kratos is such a crazy menace in this game, which I absolutely loved. Simply an incredible finale to the greek trilogy.

Finished Spitlings. One of those tough-as-nails arcadey games that tested my patience the hard way. It’s ruthless with its one-hit deaths, but it doesn’t waste your time too much, and retries are instant.

It's probably a lot more fun (and way more chaotic) in co-op mode though.

And right on to the next and final game of the God of War trilogy.

Finished God of War 2. Another incredibly fun game, and even better than the first one. The combat feels smoother and more polished, the boss fights are awesome, and the platforming is much less frustrating.

The ending was also really great and got me excited for God of War 3.

I’ve been seeing a lot of love for the PS2 God of War games on my timeline lately, which put me in the mood to start God of War 2.

The first game was fantastic, so my expectations for the sequel are pretty high.

Finished Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. It starts slow, and I get why the cheesy teen drama can be off-putting, but I think they built the girls’ friendship well, and I got invested in the characters and story.

My only gripe are the weird graphical glitches, which I had plenty of.

Just a little post about my recent pickups!

I loved the Turok games as a child, even though I never got very far in them because they were too difficult. Glad they got a port to modern consoles.

System Shock and Odin Sphere are both games I’ve heard good things about.

Finished Doom (1993). I always thought this type of game wasn’t my cup of tea, but holy hell, did I enjoy my playthrough of this one.

I love how fast paced and chaotic (in a good way) it is. Blasting demons while listening to some adrenaline pumping music is SO satisfying.

Finished Super Mario RPG. I just love how lighthearted and quirky it is. I also like the timed hits and blocks, which add a small but nice layer to the otherwise classic turn-based combat.

The soundtrack is catchy as hell. The battle music has been stuck in my head for days now.

I knew that Link had a little cameo in Super Mario RPG, but I had no idea that Samus was also chilling in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Finished Paradise Killer. It’s a really stylish open-world mystery game where you investigate a murder on an island filled with a bunch of strange characters.

I really fell in love with the characters, the story, the setting, the overall vibe, and especially the soundtrack.

I think today is a good day to start a playthrough of Super Mario RPG.

Finished Maiden of the Dark. A neat and sometimes quite tricky action-platformer. It is overall pretty fair though, so it never got too frustrating. Big fan of the artstyle in the story parts.

The hitboxes are a little off, but other than that I enjoyed my time with this game.

Dusted off the trusty ol’ Game Boy Color to play a little Game Boy homebrew game I backed on Kickstarter.

Wird direkt mal gekauft. 😁

Finished Mega Man 6. Such a nice swan song for the Mega Man series on the NES. The stages are beautiful, the robot masters are all really cool designed and it was overall pretty fair (except for maybe two annoying bosses near the end).

The music is also very good and super catchy.

Happy Birthday, Jesse! 😁🎉

Finished As Dusk Falls. Awesome narrative-driven game, where your decisions genuinely matter, and you truly feel the consequences of your choices.

If you are not a fan of QTEs, then this game is probably not your cup of tea, since that's basically all the gameplay consists of.

Finished Midnight Fight Express. Pretty cool isometric Beat'em Up with a surprisingly deep skill/combat system. The level and character designs are a bit basic, though it's neat that you can kinda create your own character.

My absolute highlight was the sick EDM soundtrack.

Muss ich mir mal alle notieren. Hab zwar das Gefühl gar nicht mehr hinterher zu kommen, aber ich liebe solche Showcases einfach. 😅

Versuche aktuell auch so ein bisschen mal die ganzen Showcases nachzuholen, und sitze gerade am Inde Fan Fest. Werde mir dann später auch das Frosty Fan Fest geben, von dem ich noch gar nix vorher gehört. 😅

Oh, Celeste ist ein richtig guter Pick.

Platforming games I love that aren't Mario or Sonic.

Nice, Rayman 2. Not enough people talk about it!

Finished God of War (PS2). I loved how cinematic it felt, and how fast and fluid the combat was. It isn’t without its flaws tho, especially near the end it becomes unnecessarily frustrating.

The Story was pretty cool, and surprisingly kinda tragic too. Kratos is just a badass.

The current God of War hype wave kinda got me, which is why I’ll finally play the original God of War for the first time next.

Spent my Sunday watching Predator 1 and Predator 2 for the first time in ages.

Especially the first Predator movie just brings a smile to my face with its over the top cast of manly macho men and their silly one-liners. But it also knows how to build suspense. It’s awesome.

Finished DuckTales (GB). I think that if you like the NES version, then you will probably have a great time with this game too. The levels are pretty much the same as on the NES, just simpler and more cramped.

The music is also good, but sadly it lacks the NES version’s punch.
