[Video Games] What are you playing? (Omikron Edition)

Just to follow up, I finished the main story last night (though still have a lot of side quest stuff I can still do). Definitely an amazing game. I don't like to over-hype stuff like this, and I don't know what I'll think about this game over time (or relative to other greats). But it is really good. Let's just say if this game ended up winning awards for best writing/story, best performance, best soundtrack, best RPG, best game design, best visuals/art, GOTY, etc., I would not be surprised. It really stands out in so many ways. Perhaps some people won't appreciate it, which is OK, but I think for the right person, this game will likely be very special. At least it was for me.

FYI the QTE stuff gets even more involved (aka "worse" for me) later in the game. I actually ended up going with some mods to mostly bypass it, though I'll note this effectively breaks the battle system (it is 100% designed around this system). I don't recommend doing this, but it is something I decided to do personally. I don't think it is even *that* challenging, but I didn't have the patience for it at the time (for multiple reasons). For folks that like this kind of thing (e.g., reading enemy movements/behaviors so you can time the perfect dodge), this probably makes the game experience significantly better than what I had...and you can see how much I enjoyed it. So don't let my dissatisfaction with it bother you. If anything, I'm just being unreasonable.


Anyway for other games, I've also been playing this on the side with my daughter (Clair Obscur not quite appropriate...which I learned after seeing her cry just during the little bit of time I played it with her):

WitchSpring R - I think I might have mentioned this when I briefly played it a year or so ago. I picked it up again, and this time I stuck with it. It is really just a simple, "cute" fun RPG. Very JRPG, but you know if you like/hate this kind of thing. I did like its progression system, which is a bit unique. Not balanced at all, and you can become super overpowered very quickly, but for the type of game this is, I don't mind. I'm pretty close to the end of the game, and I think overall I have a fairly positive impression of it. Wouldn't mind trying another game from this series/developer.
