Shadow Complex took me four and a half hours. Transistor is also fairly short. I enjoyed both.
What are y'all playing? ver 2.0

Is it out soon? Iām on a media blackout. Maybe I should pre-order it from Green Man Gaming while I still have a coupon.

Thatās soon. Where are you buying your copy from? Are you getting the season pass, or whatever the Reinforcement Pack is?

Iām waiting for it to be really cheap since I already have two versions of it (both were PS+ freebies I believe). Increasing the resolution and frame rate will make it a much more enjoyable experience.

Yeah, also waiting for a sale. The only thing i havenāt finished yet is the DLC content which was pretty fantastic but iām not as of yet prepared to undertake the many dozens of hours that it would take me properly leveled. But for cheap iāll bite regardless.

For a very long while every trip you make out into the wilderness is a journey. You have to know what roads to follow, what areas to avoid, and you have to do it before nightfall. These activities were quotidian, yet grandiose as well. Even long after youāve overgrown beyond the fodder that makes up the roads youāre comfortable with, there will still be places you wonāt dare to cross. Thereās also that very strong sense that youāre about to discover some unholy demon from the depths when you go underground, kind of like LOTR. Like as if in some way there is a whole world of ancient evils bubbling just beneath the surface. I really liked that. Actually DD is very much inspired by LOTR now that i think about it. Itās that same sense of āif someone left these dungeons, it probably was because they found something unspeakably horrifyingā.
The Magic Archer class is also probably my favorite class ever, itās super fun if less spectacular than some. That light arrow that illuminates the surroundings is one of its abilities and itās one of the most useful in the game. IIRC it shared a lot of devs with the DMC3 team, so thatās about the level of quality combat you should expect.
And the story. I admit i liked the story and lore, even the small time quests dealing with the city folk were cool.

Sold. I heard the combat is pretty great.
Just need to find time to play it.

At Chapter 9 in Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC. The final chapter. Thanks to a tip from someone, enemies called shining poms who give you 9999 exp, could be found in the tunnels of Aureole. Iāve been exploiting that, and most of my characters have reached level 93-94. Iām going to bring everyone to around those levels, then resume traversing the Axis Pillar. I have already beaten Bleublanc. Iām moving on to the third floor.
My total play time is 80 hours. Itās been a great journey, but the end is near.

Lifeline (iOS, currently free) is very well written and reminds me a lot of The Martian (that Iām currently reading). You help a stranger that has crash landed on a moon by writing simple short messages. It is played in real-time and feels very much like chatting with a real person. You canāt interact with the stranded stranger if he is busy doing something.
