Tony Hawk 1+2. Just found out the multiplayer servers are gone, which is a bummer, but it’s still fun.

Really? That’s disappointing considering it came out recently. What are you playing it on?

Switch. Apparently online play never worked for most people, only those with 5G-based home Internet (like me) were able to use it anyway.

That’s rough. Honestly online play would be a selling point for me. I’ve played enough of THPS that a reskin and new soundtrack isn’t super enticing to me

Another backlog game I would like to get to soon. Did you play it on release at all?

I played it all the way through on launch on PC. It had bugs, and it was missing some glaring things, like proper cop AI. However overall I had no game breaking bugs. But also, I didn’t really follow the hype until the game was already coming out, so i didn’t have many expectations going in. I highly recommend it. Performance has improved, features have been added and refined, and it’s got a very rich and detailed world to play with. I haven’t played the DLC yet, but I’m hearing that’s pretty good as well.

Gotcha, that’s about what I’ve heard from others too. I’m glad they continued to work on it and make it the game that they originally envisioned. I’m looking forward to playing it eventually haha

Just finished playing this for the first time. Loved it wished there were more in world missions to do as I enjoyed the city.

I’m doing another playthrough on hardest difficulty while only leveling intelligence perks. So, all I do is use smart guns and quick hacks. It’s a very different way to play.

Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yesterday. Also started Witcher 3 a while ago and have yet to finish that.

I’m still playing Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. I’m enjoying the game more now. I thought I had finished chapter 2 but it turns out there was a lot more to do! I find the characters more interesting to play now that they’re higher levels and have more spells and gear. The story is developing more too and it’s looking good.

I’ve been playing Valheim with a buddy as well and it’s been a blast. Combat and exploring the open world are great fun. I could easily let myself get lost in this game until dawn if I wanted.

A great choice! The DQ DS remakes were one of the main reasons I got a flash cartridge. I’ve yet to go through DQVI

I ‘finished’ Symphony of the Night the other day. By which I mean I got the bad ending, rather than doing some extra stuff to unlock the inverted castle. Should I go back and do that? Maybe at some point.

I’m very close to finishing Tears of the Kingdom, and I’ve also started a new playthough of New Vegas on my Steam Deck. Plenty to keep me busy!

Getting the bad ending is, at most, half of the content of that game. So yes! You should finish it

This is probably an irrational annoyance, but I don’t like how finding the inverted castle is near impossible without a guide. I like logical puzzles! So that put me off slightly. I will go back and play through it eventually though.

SotN is one of the best games of all time. The GBA Castlevanias are good as well. Thinking of Castlevania always reminds me of that multiplayer co-op CV game on XBL that I wish was still around… Harmony of Despair.

Oh man, I just found a Unity port of Harmony of Despair with an active community playing it!

the very opening of the mirror castle is pretty cool so you should do it
