Speaking of METROIDvania! Samus is such a cool character! First Metroid was an awsome game. I luv how it starts out and ends. Finding out Samus is a female at the end was pretty interesting unexpected surprise.

Never was a fan of Metroid myself, but am into metroidvania games a lot these days and will give this one a try once it comes out, that's for sure.

OK, this game deserves high notes just for this meme:



Have you finished the trilogy as well? They're finally porting the Great Ace games after many years.
These games are perfect for chilling back with your rig.

I would recommend giving Super Metroid a try. I like the original Metroid a lot due to being such a great game when I first played it growing up. Super Metroid is a better game in terms of visuals. I liked it better than Castlevania because I thought Metroid was not as difficult. This view on Castlevania changed when Symphony of the Night came out, in which I highly recommend you give a try as well. They defined the Metroidvania genre.

That was/is the game that defined my re-entry into gaming. For me it was a perfect blend of story, freedom, and action.

I guess there are others that do it better, but for me it was wow.
If you haven't already played it, look in to Control.

The base game was included with Humble Monthly and PS+ in the last few months and it's free on the Epic store for PC till tomorrow. The DLC is definitely worth it (included in the current Epic sale, so like $15 after 'coupon'? I can't see since I already own it).

Remedy games are definitely "storytelling first" so if you don't like big info dumps it may not be for you, but it's a great game in its own right, especially if you own an Nvidia RTX card.

Already played through and it's bloody fantastic.

Currently I'm trying to get through Days Gone, but I'm finding a bit ploddy and repetitious to be honest.

To be perfectly honest, I know about this game only from that meme and I've never played it :p

Do you mean that SNES version? That's too hardcore for me :)

I like pixelart games a lot and had a blast with Blasphemous recently, but stuff from SNES doesn't quite work for me the way it used to when I was a kid :)

I did Symphony of the Night and had a lot of fun with it!

Yes, the SNES one. I don't get how it can be too 'hardcore.' I find Souls games too 'hardcore.' I can't play them due to difficulty.

Aww, its a great set of games and I find that meme odd since that's quite a passing quote in the game but very funny indeed.

Into Metroidvania type games? Check out the Megaman ZX collection.

Replaying Bloodborne for the 17th time.
I've come so close to finishing many times but never quite. Maybe I'll try again. I love the Soulsbourne games but the only one I've ever actually /finished/ is Dark Souls (1). 2 I got to the DLC areas and gave up, 3 I've got through probably half of several times, Bloodborne 3/4+ many times, but I think they're just too fast paced for me. Don't have the reflexes for the parry system. Might try going back to Demon's Souls, but I imagine it'll feel pretty clunky years later.

Timespinner is also really good. And Bloodstained wasn't bad, though I'd say SotN was better.

I got into soulsborne games with Bloodborne itself but never played things that came before it. For some reason I found Sekiro much more difficult. The only game I have ever platinumed was Bloodborne so it should illustrate how much I loved the game, haha.

Dark Souls 3 is probably closest to Bloodborne in terms of speed. If you want to try the others that's what I'd recommend. Sekiro was very hard - I've never made it far.

Fallout 76.

Just like any other Fallout game, I think. (Have played F3, F:NV, and F4.)

Definitely absorbed in it. Absorbed more than immersed.

Had one side mission bug. The odd key-press bug that then rights itself.
