Metaphor: ReFantazio, and probably some D4 when i want to play something more mindless.
13th Game of 2024 was The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Simply put I love this game. I love variety of way you can approach puzzles and combat. I someday hope we actually get voice acting in Nintendo Games. Other than that this may very well be my favorite Zelda game.
12th Game of 2024 was Visions of Mana. I really enjoyed this game, although I wish they would branch out more on the plot of games, felt very similar to Trials of Mana. Spell casting felt too slow, but Melee combat felt good. Overall a fun game and had some heartfelt scenes.
I do hope we get back to more party based gameplay. I know we are likely not going back to turn based, I would like to see a wider cast of playable characters again. Also hope they put in some depth to their systems like crafting or loot compared to FF16. I did love 16 Combat and Story though
11th Game of 2024 was AI: The Somnium Files - nivanA Initiative. I love the humor in these games along with characters. I really hope we get a third game in this franchise. With that being said, this game didn't capture my attention as much as the original. Not sure why.
10th Game of 2024 was Persona 5 Royal. I absolutely loved this game and it makes me want to try and play 3 and 4. Characters were awesome. Combat was really fun and interesting. Biggest complaint was the item inventory system was terrible. Hope we see 6 sometime soon.
7th Game of 2024 was Trials of Mana. This was a pretty remake and fairly fun. However combat and story was too simple for me to justify trying to play it 2 more times to see the other story paths. I'm looking forward to the new Mana game in the summer.
I know its a superficial thing, but that is great news, and makes me much more likely to try the game at launch.
Stellar Blade combat looks interesting and so does the world, however I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get past her hair constantly clipping through everything was driving me crazy watching gameplay demo. I'm interested in Outlaws, combat style isn't my typical game and that concerns me.
