I beat Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin earlier this week.
Have nearly 100%ed the main game - just missing one item drop (from the Iron Golem who only appears in the Nest of Evil section, which makes grinding for it even more obnoxious than the Dodo since you cant just go off screen and back, but you have to redo the whole section again).
It's still the best Metroidvania style game in the series by far, which makes it almost as good as Castlevania on the NES

@GOW Ragnarok: Wow. I expected around 25-30 hrs. Thats a lot of value for a single player game thats not a sandbox. Im at around 23 hours at the moment and Im loving it. There are enough sidequests but they dont feel annoying or boring so far. I actually love doing them as you dont have to go out of your way much to do them.

Yeah it’s really fun and fleshed out side quests so I do not mind them at all. I just wish my backlog wasn’t tremendous atm cause I’m probably gonna finish the post game stuff in Ragnarok which will probably take several more hours.

The Feared I had to circle back to until I got to level 7. He was the toughest so far. I have 1 more berserker fight left too I believe.

The one that does the high jump tracking AoE attack was cheesy. At least that’s the only one I remember spending lots of time with- the lock on made it awkward. Of course the last two optional fights were terrible.

Just got the Drahupfnxjdbdb (whatever) Spear and it made me very happy. Pressing the triangle with that thing feels awesome!

Pretty neat tie-in to the original mythology, too. Very clever idea to weaponize it.

My thoughts exactly. Soooo much better and useful than it was in the original games.

Beat Chorus. The big issue with the game is the dialogue. The ship combat and whisper skills are strengths. Missles, laser and chain gun are your weapons and your skills can either help you do damage, warp behind enemies or find items nearby. The biggest fault has to be most of the side quests being straight garbage then the dialogue which I heard Midnight Suns also does. Also be prepared to do a ton of timed barrel rolls. I probably did more barrel rolls in the game then use whispers. I also messed up buying this game on PSN when it was free on Gamepass. Live and learn.
Right now play Midnight Suns coming in Monday or Tuesday then Fire Emblem Engage or Dead Space.

Callisto Protocol
7/10- Took me a little over 12 hours, playing on Max Security (hardest setting). Honestly, save for one part a decent ways into the game, this was an overall fairly easy game. The way the core combat mechanics of the melee works, you just hold a direction and dodge or block, then strike back with counter/melee combos. You eventually get guns and they work about like you think, so nothing too out of the ordinary there. Had some choppiness in random sections, but runs pretty decently now with a couple of patches under its belt at mostly highest settings at 1440p - ray tracing definitely had to be turned off, but the game is gorgeous for the most part even without it, so not worth the performance hit in my opinion. Overall, I enjoyed it for what it was but Dead Space is still king of this hill. If you need something to play, pick it up in a few months when it goes on sale and maybe by then some story DLC will be out as well since the ending is a dangling carrot.

Happy Game on
This game was...something else. Nuthin' happy about it (in a good way, at least to me).

Mario and Rabbids Spark of Hope -
pretty disappointing. Way too reliant on RNG. Every enemy has some status abnormality to inflict. Enemies always respawning during battle. The first one had way more strategy to it, IIRC. Won't bother with DLC or the next game.

That’s unfortunate. I really enjoyed Kingdom Battle too. It sounds like it makes battle quite hectic and less strategic too with respawning enemies. Meh

Marvel Midnight Suns is terrible to me. Collectible fest in the abbey. RNG based card system with rerolls is fine but could be better. Honestly the multiple currency system reminds me of a F2P game and the daily training aspect to. I am truly wondering if this was meant to be a F2P game but they shifted gears. The tactics used aren't great either. Maybe if I increased the difficulty it would be better but the game boils down to attack, heal with hunter and survive. The story is fine but the dialogue is terrible. The maps are small and the combat system isn't great. Reinforcements constantly come in. I found the social network to be mostly useless and pointless to read. Circle to skip chat boxes.
I feel the biggest strength are the characters each having unique cards making them feel unique.
The weaknesses were the gameplay. I think making it more like X-Com in combat and decreasing the complexity and downright removing the abbey exploration would make it more streamlined and enjoyable. Movement only real helps you position for knockback and other cards as agro is usually fixed unless your cards change that.
My backlog is empty going to wait for Fire Emblem Engage then Dead Space or skip Fire Emblem.
Q1 is looking okay. I know I will love Dead Space, Kirby play it on Wii but will replay it since I loved it and Resident Evil 4.
Going to also possibly get the below games Q1.
Fire Emblem Engage
Risen
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake
Hogwarts Legacy
Wanted: Dead
Wild Hearts
Atomic Heart
Scars Above
Octopath Traveler II
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle

Last night I finished my run of hard mode level 1 cap on Portrait of Ruin.
Not that much different from Normal mode, though Charlotte is pretty much relegated to background use due to how much damage she takes. Jonathan can use the Ultimate Armor which makes any hit do only 10% of your max health. Because each hit only took off a fixed percent, I also avoided the Max HP Up powerups so that healing items (which restore a set amount, not a percentage) would be more effective.
I did really like the subtle changes to some of the enemies, though most of them are identical.

Pretty awful, beat b/c it was on GP. Surely not aimed at a gamer in his 40s, but then again I'm not sure who this really should be aimed at.
