Now Playing April 2018

Beaten

Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology – review coming soon. This is a good ass game.

Ongoing

The Alliance Alive – I’ve played a few hours of this. I love how it looks, I like the story that is starting up. I hate it’s level up system. This uses the SaGa random stats up/new abilities as you play. It doesn’t work. It never works. It just adds a layer of tedium and randomness to the game. Unlike this game’s predecessor, Legend of Legacy, at least there is something else here besides the broken character development system, hopefully that black mark isn’t enough to drag the rest of the game down.

Suikoden V – Saying I played this is kind of exaggerating things. I played about 30 minutes of the opening, which is fairly long and light on gameplay. I don’t care, I still love it. It does a great job of setting up the plot and all of the characters in its expansive story. The brevity of Suikoden 2’s opening is one of the reasons that it is the better game than V, but I appreciate the care that went into telling this story. Plus, it has some all-time great characters in Sialeeds, Lyon and Miakis. I will write up something big about this game once I finish it.

Super Mario Galaxy – I played the first few stages. I still absolutely love this game. I hope that continues as I power through the rest of it. I have already noticed some annoyances with the camera that I don’t remember having before, but I expect I’ll get used to it as I keep playing

New Super Mario Bros U – I am still playing this, but I barely touched it for the month.

Upcoming

Pokemon Crystal – I bought this on a whim for my 3DS. I skipped the most recent Pokemon release, so I think I am ready to play some Pokemon. Plus, I’m not sure if I want to stick with The Alliance Alive.
