Finished Marvel’s Midnight Suns !
Didn’t max all relationships or levels of characters, but did enough of them. The game was really good, and you get to spend lots of times outside of combat exploring the Abby and socialising with other characters.
There is some of that weird vibe from characters, if you are used to MCU versions, but you get used to it soon enough. All characters are pretty well portrayed, and voice acting is also pretty good.
Combat is pretty satisfying. I was skeptical of it at first as I am not a fan of these deck-building games, but it works out pretty well. As you are a super hero, there is no hiding behind the cover. There are some buffs and debuffs, but you have to be careful about using it too. Since every turn enemy reinforcement join the fight. Most of these are usually “minions” which mean they are one hit kill, but since you are limited to 3 cards / actions per turn, you have to play pretty aggressively. And there were a few levels where the enemy combination make this very annoying. Thankfully, those are very few.
Overall, loved the game. May come back to it to try the “dark” path in a few years.
Cleared the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza on to 6th one now. About halfway done with this too.
Too many thorns here though.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Mostly played Bananza, cleared sublevel 1000 today. I will say the levels are not nearly as memorable as Odyssey’s were. I only played that game once when it was released and still remember most levels better than whatever I did in this game last week. The first level was my favorite one for a long time, and then it was a long lull. It got better though, two out of three levels after the split path converges again were really cool!
I am also happy to report that, after 30 years, I have finally caught Carmen Sandiego in the 1994 CD-Rom version of her game. I can finally bury this grudge and move on!
I hope to find some time to pick Yakuza 3 back up. Luckily, I put the game on hiatus in a very convenient spot just before a location change and have enough experience with previous games to not have forgotten how to play.
Congratulations on catching Carmen Sandiego! I think I only played the original game on floppy disks for DOS back in the 90’s. I can’t remember if we ever caught her…
I agree about the Odyssey levels, I don’t think I remember all of them, but some of them were pretty iconic.
Poor Carmen Sandiego, it could run but it couldn’t hide forever.
