May 2021 Beaten - Completed & Played Games
Hello people. I was pretty sure that i would need at least two months to finish Persona 4 Golden but oh well 4 days of lockdown holiday might as well happen. So i finished Persona in a 4.5 days of binge. I would say it is not what i expected. There were so much VN stuff going for my taste, they are still interesting but i liked the main story parts a bit more. Even though it is not really for me to keep me this engaged this long shows how good the game is. So a couple bad stuff, first i didnt understand what the hell i was doing by doing stuff. Also that god awful merging system. And Game’s language was too vague for a blind playthrough. It was the first game that i had to use guides on my first playthrough. Lastly pacing might be a little bit better. Through to end of the game i had nothing to do. There were empty days and stuff. You know how’s stressful thing an empty day on Persona. :( Even with shortcomings it is still a top notch game despite it’s age.
Another game i have finished was The Vagrant. I bought it through Nariel’s recommendation. And as he said I was quite surprised how well made that game for it’s price. I have nothing to complain except that lastish boss. I would never understand why indie games’ last bosses are such spikes in difficulty. I definetly recommend it to people who likes metroidvanias and side scroller action games. This game is kinda hard to give points. It is not amazing but price/value is off the charts.

Also bought and almost finished Cloudpunk. It is a very unique and fun game. Especially npc interactions are the most fun. I will put a bit more detail when i finish.

Glad to know you still liked Persona 4 despite its issues. It’s best to play it with a guide for the first time as there really is so much stuff going on 😅
Oh what you said about indie games is just what happened with helltaker for me. Going from simple puzzle solving to a boss fight where you need to memorize and be so precise. Still yet to play any persona game but I’ve only heard good things about them and vagrant looks very nice and yeah cheap. I probably wouldn’t buy it since not my sort of thing but for the pricing it is I feel like I’d be happy even if I did dislike it
Yeah Helltaker’s last boss is a timed puzzle and kinda like a bullet hell, i can relate. :p Persona games are heavy on VN elements. If you like those kind of stuff you might enjoy it more than i do. Vagrant is exactly what it is promises so if you think you wont enjoyed it, probably you won’t. There are much better alternatives on that genre.
Visual novels is a very big part of my library. Plus with helltaker I got friends who haven’t even played the bonus puzzles afterwards. I loved both sides of the puzzle even if I died alot but both bosses I couldn’t even keep up. Its hard for certain people to realise why the game frustrated me so much when they only played the main game which is suppose to be superior because of the girls.
