Finished Mafia: Definitive Edition !

I didn’t mention it last week but I started Mafia after dropping Returnal, was about halfway through already, finished the rest this week.

The game doesn’t get great reviews but I loved the game. The story was interesting, even though the ending felt kinda sudden, and the game didn’t have any useless bloat. The visuals also felt good, though I am not really a good judge of these things. The shooting controls feel a bit dated, but nothing too bad and you can get used to it easily.

This has actually make me look forward to Mafia: The Old Country, as they have supposedly gone back to their roots. I’ll highly recommend this to anyone who likes linear 3D narrative games.

Started Ys IX: Monstrum Nox on PS5. Switch is generally my preferred platform for all RPGs but all reviews recommend to play it on another platform, if you have access to it. So I went with PS5 version.

Not much to say about it yet, I am in Chapter 3 and thoroughly enjoying the gameplay. This will be my primary game for now, but since I am trying to spend time more productively, will probably be playing it for quite a while.

Playing Garage (Garage: Bad Trip on other platforms) on Switch.

It’s a top-down action game like Hotline Miami, but with Zombies. The games isn’t as good, and has multiple difficulty spikes, specially when people with guns show up, but still a fun game and scratching that itch.

I am a few hours in, and shouldn’t have too much game left.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    I’ll probably play these games with basic knowledge of a couple of animes I have watched

    Knowing/liking the original anime series helps, but it’s not mandatory. You may get a bit overloaded due to the huge amount of characters, but they are introduced gradually and the game has a big encyclopedia to help remember who is who.

    Do you think they will still be fun for me?

    Will you like it for the first 10-20h? Almost certainly yes if you like strategy games and big robots.

    Will you like it enough to play the whole 80h+ (assuming you go for Y)? That’s a much harder question to answer, it will depend a lot on how much you enjoy the gameplay loop.
