The collection keeps growing…

Also I think Silent Hill may have given me a survival horror bug.

And with that…I’ve cleared Silent Hill f’s final ending.

I loved this.

Despite being a radically different title on the surface, this is a game that GETS Silent Hill both narratively and mechanically, and delivers on that while maintaining its fresh voice.

With one of the series’ best stories yet

Even the damn CDI game let Zelda use a sword. 😭

Replaying Bayonetta and the sheer campy energy of this game is still unparalleled even all these years later.

This new spritework is clean as hell!

Structurally, this game takes even more cues from Radiant Dawn. Exploring the fallout of the first game's conflict, first through a group of new heroes then slowly transitioning to the old gang trying to protect this fragile peace from a new threat.

Helped along by new lead Aria being a delight.

Bound Destiny 2 complete~

I think I enjoyed this more than the first one! A much more challenging with more mechanical depth that takes the story in a fitting new direction.

God the character writing in these games feels like someone studied all my blorbos and said, ‘what if crafted a cast of characters who made in a lab to suit your personal tastes?’

Though, um. There’s definitely a clear winner here…

This was fun to look back.

The more of Bound Destiny I play, the stronger the parallels become…

I think this is a sign that Samson becoming a personal fave was inevitable.

I was on Hard mode and it was truly insane.

For context, THIS is what my Aria looks like and she still had to eat a Violent Seed to do more than a scratch to him.

It reminded me of the absurd spike of the Ashnard fight at the end of Path of Radiance.

JEEEESUS

Bound Destiny 2 features one of the most difficult bosses I’ve ever fought in a Fire Emblem game.

This caught me off guard big time.

They put a fully working My Castle…

Into a GBA FE ROM hack.

This is cracked.

Most AAA games nowadays would be too cowadly to have UI this unapologetically gamey.

Which is kind of ironic given the ubiquity of destination markers which aren’t that far off the same thing.

Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc goes incredibly hard.

I suspect those who’ve read the manga will be able to give a more thoughtful look at this movie as an animation.

But for me, this was incredibly stylish watch. Raw, violent, horny, thoughtful and a gut punch in all the ways you’d expect after Season 1.

Chapter 2-5 of Bound Destiny 2 was brutal, dear god.

This was Elincia’s Gambit from Radiant Dawn but on crack and with no option to cheese it with Harr.

Even as someone with…decent FE experience, I had to save scum a fair bit to clear this with no deaths on Hard Mode.

Was looking back through DMs with a friend and found something I said back when I was playing through Silent Hill 1.

That last bit about f aged well, I think it's fair to say.
