faea gaming: October 2023

Back in the real world again, no time for gaming

I log any game here that I played for any amount of time, which is why there ends up being so many games

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Completed (started September 2023)
I think this game is really cool! I also don't think it's very fun!
Rabbit & Steel
Rabbit & Steel
Played (Demo)
Never raided in ff14 (I don't play it) but this game is what i imagine ff14 raiding is like, i.e extremely overstimulating and I have no idea what's happening ever. I see the vision I just don't think it's for me

I played half of this when I was feeling incredibly isolated one evening and it kinda hit different im ngl, waiting for that to happen again before I finish it
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Completed (started September 2023)
Been in a little nasty slump this month (between illness and the usual executive dysfunction) and spent a long time only feeling like playing this. 49/50 perfects, I will return one day... but today is not the day
Little King's Story
Little King's Story
Shelved
Gameplay pretty rough around the edges, not enjoying it all that much but it's *really* funny so I wanna try and keep pushing through
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Shelved
Early thoughts: I only played the tutorial case, I already know I'm going to enjoy this one a lot but I also know I'm gonna have issues when it tells me to do this weird shit called "figuring it out"
Half-Life
Half-Life
Shelved
Early thoughts: it's fun! I feel like the fast old-school shooter movement clashes a little with the atmosphere they're trying to create but it's not the most egregious thing ever I don't think
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
In Progress
Rare Zelda game that I like?? It's really cool and I love the atmosphere, but so far (about halfway through?) I feel like it hasn't quite had the 'bite' that I'd have liked. Maybe being a bit presumptuous here though, we'll see!
WarioWare: Touched!
WarioWare: Touched!
Completed
It's perfectly fine! Probably would have put it down and never picked it back up if I wasn't sick. Shoutouts to the heavy use of cuícas in the soundtrack
Pokémon Green Version
Pokémon Green Version
In Progress
Gen 1 is evergreen. I'm digging much deeper into glitches, *and* drawing my team after every gym? Two fixations at once?? I cannot handle this
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country
Dropped
Movement feels great, goes without saying how good the aesthetics are, level design thinks trial and error is a good substitute for actual difficulty and makes me want to ram my face into a blender
Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight
In Progress
Really strange revisiting an old favourite that I've played pretty much to death. It's next to impossible to get the 'first playthrough' feel that I really want, and that hit me as soon as I realised I got two secrets early by instinctively luring vengeflies over and pogoing off them. Hollow Knight might be in the past for me now - at least in that sense - but now I really can't wait to break Silksong into tiny little pieces

on ace attorney, its been so long and i have replayed it like a trillion times over but i dont think its too demanding when it comes to putting together the case EXCEPT for the episode with ema skye that one always confuses the fuck out of me

@moschidae counterpoint: my brain small

(i'll have to give it a proper go soon though! i've just been getting really easily distracted lately, so i haven't felt like it's the best time to sit down and do a lot of reading lol)
