January 2021 Beaten - Completed & Played Games

So i couldnt play much games for a couple of months. But in January i could make make some time for it. So i finished 3 games and played 1 game.
Firstly i want to talk about Vigil: The Longest Night that i have already mentioned before. After some months i am able to finish it. I can say it is quite a good and challenging game as a metroidvania. I fairly enjoyed it. It has stamina based combat and a bonfire system but when you die you go back to your last save. You can call it souls-like and it is a well done one. Only mechanic i was not happy with dying rolls back to last save. But there is an item that lets you save anywhere so it balances it out. Even though i only used it at the end of the game, it is there. Also i need to mention game looks absolutely beautiful.
Second game i have finished is Minoria infact a gift from Nasko. He was kind enough to gift and i really enjoyed it too. Again same kind of game as Vigil but it felt way more polished especially combat. Good metroidvania with anime style characters. Story is not interesting but colorful and grim world keep things interesting.
Third one is STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order. I got this through EA play discount. I was mildly interested in it since i like jedi stuff but i never considered buying it. So it was a good opportunity to try out the game. It turned out well and game is pretty good. It can also be considered souls like, i dont know why companies so hooked in this idea. I am not complaning though it sure make things interesting and a bit more challenging. I like games this way. For the game itself it had interesting but predictable story. Core mechanics were good and fluid to play. I cant say it was great but it is a solid game. I feel this every with evey big game i play these days. They feel so safe.

Also i got another gift from Nariel. The game is World of Final Fantasy. We talk about it with Nariel sometime and he was kind enough to gift it to me as a new year gift. I am a fan of Pokemon games so this took my interest pretty quick. Although i have never play any FF games i felt like this might be suited my taste a bit more. But after playing 18+ hours i feel so underwhelmed by the game it is heart breaking for me. Story isnt engaging, catching monsters gets stale after a while since they are recolor of old ones. I didnt see any “new” creature for like last 5+ hours of game play. Cutscenes and scripted fights kill the game’s momentum. Negatives aside combat system is fairly interesting. It’s what keeps me in the game. Also probably seeing all FF characters like that would be interesting too if i know who were they. :D I will talk about it more when i finished. o/
