Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, did lots of side missions (green ones) that I had started before but hadn’t finished. Still have quite a few of them left though.
It’s nice to see how the city evolves with our actions.
Also started Chapter 11, want to say some spoilery stuff about that, but want to finish the chapter first see how they deal with it.
Chapter 11 story
but if they redeemed you-know-who without giving a VERY solid reason, I am going to be very annoyed by the story.
I am still annoyed how Murderess joins our team after how she behaved, instead of getting any kind of punishment.
Chapter 11 brings you to skell-less fighting, and since I was used to beating everyone in few seconds, it feels so slow to kill people without skell now. And there are tons of enemies to fight there, so thinking about loading my previous save and leveling up a bit more before coming back to it.
Also played more Marvel’s Midnight Suns and Ghost of Tsushima, but nothing new to add about either of them.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Slow week, wasn’t very motivated for some reason. Otherwise I’d probably have finished both games below.
Playing Never 7: The End of Infinity (part of the Ever 17/Never 7 Double Pack)!
Followed the plan I mentioned last week - did a first “blind” run which got me the Yuka route, then found a nice guide to help me get the other routes.
I’ve cleared all the “main game” routes (Yuka, Haruka, Saki, Kurumi, Izumi “Cure” and Izumi), and completed the CG library. Only thing left now is the “Append Story”, an extra option in the main menu that shows up after you clear Yuka’s route, which appears to be her POV of the story.
Playing The Mummy Demastered!
Played less than 2h this week. Map is around 50%.
Game is mostly good, but has the annoying tendency (reminiscent of old-school Castlevanias) of having enemies positioned to “trip” you and make you fall down when you’re doing plataforming sections. :/
So, what do you think about Never 17 now?
Fairly solid for its age. It’s more of a romance/slice-of-life but has some neat sci-fi ideas, in particular in the “Cure” route that acts as the main story ending. I can see why people mention it as an inspiration for games like Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate.
The main issue is that most of the routes follow the same formula, so they get boring after a while.
Anyway, quite curious for Ever 17 now since everyone says it’s miles better than the first game - Never 7 has a 6.73 rating on VNDB while Ever 17 has a 8.45.
I’ve only played Ever 17, but it was very good. I hope you enjoy it too!
Ahan, interesting. Would look forward to your review then.
