Thanks!

As for me…

I’m playing OMORI and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

I just finished Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. One of the best games I’ve ever played, imho.

I plan to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom soon.

    I’m balls deep into Tears of the Kingdom right now, but also taking breaks by getting back into New Pokemon Snap. I’m a little disappointed in myself im not actively playing any retro games.

        I can’t believe i haven’t head of those games considering it’s something I’d be totally into. Just put it on my flash cart!

          There’s a new remastered version for the Nintendo Switch (and now Steam) called ActRaiser Renaissance.

          You’ll love it.

          It helps that the ActRaiser games are quite famous and have a loyal cult following.

            Thanks for the recommendation! Honestly my favorite part of retro gaming is getting recs for “new” games and getting the day one experience on a game that’s been out forever. I’m always torn between remastered versions, because after I play one it’s harder to play the original on classic hardware!

              Yeah, I’d play Silent Hill 2 but now it’s getting a remake and same with Metal Gear Solid 3 now.

              So, at this point, I just won’t play the original versions.

        The second one where they discarded the citybuilder concept seemed to lose what made the concept unique.

          It doesn’t really do that per se.

          Edit: Nvm, I thought you were talking about another game and didn’t check the context. Sorry!
