games

Games that I've recently played and completed are Armored Core 6, Like a Dragon Gaiden, and Pikmin 4. I'm currently doing a replay of Final Fantasy 7 Remake to prepare for FF7 Rebirth. I'm planning to play the Metal Gear Solid collection later this month.

Armored Core 6: 8.5/10 great game. I only beat it once and haven't tried the NG+/NG++ stuff yet, but might come back to it when/if DLC comes out. Had a lot of fun blowing stuff up with missiles and grenade launchers lmao

Like a Dragon Gaiden: 8.5/10 another great game. Playing as definitely not the yakuza known as Kiryu and the return to beat em up action was fun. Nice short and sweet game to prepare you for Yakuza 8 coming out early next year. 100% the game and got the plat for it. The ending made me tear up a little it was so great and bittersweet.

Pikmin 4: 9/10 just amazing! Probably a top 3 game I've played this year! The gameplay loop was very addicting and gave me the "Just one more day" feeling. The space dog Oatchi is very cute and useful if not a little bit overpowered and reduces the challenge of the game a bit, but it was still a fun time using him. I really enjoyed the Dandori challenges and battles - splitting up your pikmin and grabbing all the treasures and defeating all the enemies under a time limit that requires all your micromanaging and logistic skills. It was excellent.
