Last weekly thread of March!

  • Still playing Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs. In chapter 5 now, I should be more than half done. Still enjoying it.

  • Finished Jotun: Valhala Edition. I was playing it a few weeks ago, but took a break at last boss. Finally went back and finished the game.

  • While I am enjoying Regalia, wanted something more action-oreinted, so looked at my backlog and started Neon Chrome. I am generally not a roguelike fan, but I like twin stick shooters, so started that. Not sure if I’ll actually finish this, but enjoying it for now.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    I’ve been playing a lot of Tetris 99 again…

    I was playing Huntdown as I’ve mentioned in previous posts. But I got bored. The boss fights are challenging, but once you get the pattern, they go on for too long and you lose a lot and it’s just boring. In higher levels they get quite annoying. I’ll eventually finish it since I’m on the (apparently) last level, but it just drained my patience. Other than that the game is pretty good.

    I should get back into Super Mario RPG or Tears of the Kingdom soon, but I’ll probably get distracted with other games along the way 😅

    How’s Jotun? I got it on an Itch sale or something, and haven’t played it through yet.

      I had forgotten that Tetris 99 is still a thing. How good are you?

      You played Huntdown X, right? How would you compare Huntdown with it?

      Jotun is good, it looked like a fast paced hack and slash, but it’s more on the slower and methodical side. The story isn’t much, but the voice over in Norse really add to effect. There are five “worlds”, with 2 levels in each, you have to collect runes on both stage to get access to that world’s boss. The stages aren’t much of a challenge, but are different from each other so you don’t get bored of them. Though the main attraction of the game is boss fights IMO.

      The game isn’t too tough, but I think it will appeal to the crowd that like souls-like, without detracting people who don’t.

        I’m ok at Tetris 99, not a pro but have managed to win very few times (with a bit of luck involved).

        Huntdown I played the one on Switch, just “Huntdown”. I remembed you mentioned X before. Is it the XBox version? I couldn’t find it.

        Jotun sounds good, I should check it out.
