They're both very good games, but not masterpieces like Fire Emblem Echoes or Awakening. Other greats in the series are Path of Radiance and the original GBA game too Yep 100% this. Echoes and Awakening are hands down my favourite with Path of Radiance probably coming in third. I have yet to play the GBA games though. The DS one was pretty fun though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I stink at strategy games, but I'm having a lot of fun with these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead123 | 675 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 It wouldn't be Halloween if I didn't put at least some time into Castlevania and Zombies Ate My Neighbors today, so I'll be playing a little bit of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a digital strength gauge. The first screen ends when it runs out (unavoidable). On other screens, running out ends the game. The screens each have different goals: 1: Grow trees 2: Use trees to crush eggs 3: Destroy gravestones to defeat the Necromancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,740 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 After Tears of the Kingdom, I've been looking for something that I could play for a short while until I get Super Mario Wonder. I ended up going back to Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. I started it a while back, but I didn't really grab me at the time. I gave it a second try and I'm really enjoying it this time. It's a super simple game. If all you want to do is complete the levels, it's almost too easy. However, the extra gems to collect, and the special objectives add a little bit of a challenge (especially in the later levels). I find the game to be a good stress reliever. I'm about 20 levels into chapter 3 which means I'm almost finished with the game. I don't move onto the next level until I have completed everything (start, gems, and objectives). So I'm trying to "100%" the game. There is also some bonus content that I will look at after I finish chapter 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up really enjoying and it wishing there was another Captain Toad game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,405 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Vampire Survivors. I have witnessed the death of video games. I don't think I've ever played a skinner box that entirely plays itself so thoroughly. In every level you walk around a map for 30 minutes while enemies slowly walk into your impenetrable death ball while you do absolutely nothing. 30 MINUTES. Cookie Clicker is a more engaging game, at least you're constantly clicking stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, 30-minute survival rounds sounds way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrunner | 422 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Celeste B-Side completed. Total death count including previous stuff is now just under 6500. Not sure if that's good, but it's still been a great ride. Edited November 9, 2023 by rdrunner 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,532 Editorials Team · Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Darksiders Genesis with my oldest. It's a pretty by the books action RPG kinda thing. But it has couch co-op, which is cool. But for my son it's pretty revelatory. He's never played something like this, so he's all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,740 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My youngest son was asking me about VR and what it was like. When I showed the goggles to him, he noticed all of the other video game controllers I keep in the same bin. I have two bins that sort of act as "bulk" video game controller storage that doesn't fit in the drawers with my normal controllers. One bin has all PlayStation stuff (VR goggles, PS1 dual flight stick, PS1 arcade stick, ect.). The other bin has Nintendo stuff (ROB, Super Scope Six, NES running pad, and DK bongos). My son was really interested in the DK bongos and wanted to know what they were for. I showed him DK Konga 1 & 2 and DK Jungle Beat. He fell in love with all of those games and has been playing them almost every day for almost a week now. He isn't very good at the Konga games, but he is getting pretty far in Jungle Beat almost completely on his own. Both of my kinds love video games, but they play almost entirely modern stuff on the Switch or PC. But it's pretty awesome when they find something that they can enjoy from one of the older consoles. My 7 year old has used my GameCube more in the past week than I have in the past year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,740 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I've been playing Super Mario Wonder since we gave it to my son for his birthday a few weeks ago. I've been playing a small amount each evening, and I have to say that I've really been enjoying it. The basic formula has been pretty predictable, but I'm still finding myself wanting to play again the next night. I'm also enjoying trying to get the checkmark for each level. I've completed one level from the Special World, but I'll probably save the rest of those until after I complete the game. Two worlds to go and I'm curious to see how this game wraps up.

a3quit4s | 4,098 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Spider-Man 2 on PS5. It’s been awhile since I’ve played games. So many frigging button combinations in spider man games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I sadly benched Wonder, great game, but SMRPG has been more engaging as it has been a long time and the minute changes and quality of life tweaks are making for a really nice special edition of the classic. Hopefully if means even if it's like 30 years on if it happened, the game finally gets its first sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D~Funk | 284 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Going pretty hard on Roots of Pacha on Switch! Playing with the girlfriend!

N64 is very top heavy of a library, but I can probably think of 20 titles off the top of my head I would consider still playable today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
