Playing the series for the first time

The clock had just barely ticked over to midnight on July 1st when I finished Resident Evil 2, so that’s technically a July game for me, I guess!

After deciding to hold off on Persona 5 Royal until the current-gen versions drop in October, the only thing in my backlog is Assassins Creed: Valhalla. So, that’s finally happening.

I ordered a physical copy of Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series from Play Asia for the PS5, and I’m starting Shredder’s Revenge next week with my wife.

You should play the “Re-MARStered” version.

Just started Dying Light 2

Finally got around to playing Uncharted 4 last month. Finished the other day, so I decided to go for something shorter. Starting July with another "best of 2021" game (and a bit shorter than Uncharted 4), The Artful Escape.

Played an hour so far. Not bad. Not GOTY mind blowing like I was expecting, but something unique which I do like.

Good game, Had fun with it. Being remastered really helped it I believe, compared if I would had played the OG one. One day I will. I'm grateful it had customized controls and the auto aiming is fantastic. . Made the game enjoyable.

Taking a break from HFW (PS5) and giving Paper Mario: Origami King (Switch) a shot. Loving it so far. The game mechanic is quite different and difficult. I get turned around a bit.

My sons and I are also playing Ultimate Chicken Horse (Switch)… what a bizarre game, but a ton of fun.

Salt and Sanctuary
Roller Champions

At first 5-10 minutes of playing, I was not liking it. No auto aim, no weapon zoom other than sniper, no save slots + no reloading and the endless waves of enemies.
But the game is very good. Controls well, there was plenty of ammo & health given, also noticed there was mid section level selects, so didn't have to go back far if I failed. And loved how the cast of characters from my team were introduced during the story. BLOWING SHIT UP!!!

Posted it (for kd5) in correct month thread...

I'm currently playing through Dragon Quest Builders for a 2nd time. I'm building out a high rise castle in Cantlin. The game is fun. What I'm doing in it a total waste of time. I love it. My last run was on the PS4. I'm playing on the Switch this time.

Detroit Become Human. The game must be just my speed because I haven’t had to look up any hints yet. Really digging the story.

You shouldn't need any hints, it's a pretty straight forward game. I loved it.

I picked up Cars 3: Driven to Win on sale. My kid really love Cars, and I thought he'd get a kick out of it even it was a terrible game because he loves Lightning McQueen that much. But, it's better than I thought it would be.

Yeah, the goal isn’t to puzzle you but to take you through the story. I finished it last weekend and am tempted to replay some chapters with different just to see the results.

My wife has been playing Power Wash Simulator for something like 5 hours straight.

One of my nephews has had Cars 3 in heavy rotation for at least two years now. As much as he loves racing games in general, that’s the one he goes back to the most.

I was done with Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla a lot sooner than expected and didn’t have anything else queued up, so I looked through my PS+ library and went for Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It’s one of the only CoD campaigns from last gen that I never got around to.

And one of the others, Modern Warfare (‘19) is in the mail. I was waiting for a native current-gen version, but since that doesn’t seem to be happening…. Also have a physical PS5 import of Klonoa en route. A little something to tide me over till Saints Row (and maybe Soul Hackers 2?) a month from now.
