This is a traditional spaceship arcade bullet hell game that surprisingly I quite enjoyed. The biggest problem I have with bullet hell is visual mess where I don't know what the hell is going on on the screen and in a blink of an eye I won't be able to find my playable character, but for this game it has simple backgrounds and quite easy to see bullets. The enemies are also quite fun to beat, especially the bosses. I do want to say that the homing rockets are just too powerful. lol I had no trouble with the game once I got final upgrade of the rockets which is I believe the third or fourth upgrade? But going back to beat the game multiple times to get the other upgrades to max for the achievements is quite tedious tho.

This game is so freaking good!!! It's one of those "just one more day" kinda game where it's so hard to put down cuz the main gameplay loop is so addicting, and the surprising thing is there's so many different things in the game, whether mechanics or depth or content, and yet it has this charm and passion that you find in indie games. It really is a triple AAA kinda indie game feeling(even tho let's be honestly, it's made by Nexon so it is not really an indie game per say). And a lot of the different mechanics either complements the core gameplay loop so well(the fishing->management gameplay loop) or is a fun one time gimmick borrowed from other games that doesn't overstay its welcome, and also the fact that major features gradually unlock that adds to the core gameplay loop just makes everything fresh and fun, like how the farms unlock later on. It's genius really. I highly recommend the game, grab it full price even cuz it's so worth it. And also be warned that the Godzilla free DLC is not gonna be available at the end of November I believe? So if you're interested, grab it early. That's a large reason why I bought this game in the first place. :P And I don't regret it.

Made some progress at the start of the month but got sucked back into Warframe. sweats Clocked 96 hours in it in October so….to say I’m addicted to it would be an understatement. lol

That is some solid hours! Game is pretty dope though, at least until the grind starts to taste stale.

Yeah the game’s awesome, especially with so much content and different things like the open worlds and roguelite and such. My favorite is Deimos with its aesthetic and the fun mission/standings structure. Feels like I always have something to do on there.
The grind does get tedious tho. I started grinding for Protea parts but after like 10 missions with no part in sight I gave up and moved on to something else. lol
