I've been busy with my life and all of a sudden a term I had been using for years has become known to be racist.
This post isn't a summary of yesterday's Nintendo Direct showcase. I'm just voicing my opinions on some of the announcements that stood out to me in some way personally.
Another 3D mainline Sonic game dropped. Is it the Hedgehog's long-awaited return to form? Some voices are calling it great, even a legitimate contender for game of the year. That view is far from what I thought of Sonic Frontiers.
The Evil Within 2. It's so generic I'm having a hard time finding words to say about it. Guess I'll just try to write a straight comparison to The Evil Within (2014).
Let's play Elden Ring! (sort of)
It's taken me way longer to clear this game than it really should have. From very early on it always felt rather unpolished to me, but I still enjoyed it a great deal. Navigating through the Chiyoda region was pretty annoying and whatever region came before that was somewhat bland, but all in all I really enjoyed exploring the game maps. The game world overall has a great atmosphere to it. People often compare this entry to Nocturne, but I feel that Shin Megami Tensei V is it's own unique experience.
