Finished Judgment 3 days ago and really liked it, Yagami and Kaito are such a great team and the sidecases have full RGG energy with some of the funniest even within the Yakuza Series😎😌

Also really liked the “Investigation Parts”, they added a new unique spin to it.

What got kind of annoying was the “special part” random encounters after some point in the story, the first few were okay but they continued a little too often for my taste, so I even ignored them after a point. I also really missed that there were no karaoke songs in this game, I bet Tako and Kaito would belt out some real bangers if given the chance!

All I all, really curious about the 2nd Game Lost Judgment, but it will be a while until I can get to that

Everything done against Food Waste is great work! Less things thrown away means more good use of the resources we already have without grabbing more than we need.

Some customers interviewed by the chain said they explicitly bought items thanks to Namidame-kun.

Never change Japan, never Japan :D

Finally caved after eying these for almost a year and grabbed them on sale a few days ago. Can’t wait to check them out in their natural habitat known as driving to work by train, but it sounds great so far at home as well!

Used my Airpods Pro 2 so far but, after almost 2 1/2 years of use daily, they don’t hold a charge as well as they used to. And since new ones aren’t on the horizon soon they will be relegated to home earphones now.

I mean look at it, even the Packaging is so beautiful and makes it look like it’s out of those times🥺👉👈
And even though it’s only a LCD Display, it looks quite good and better than I expected

Finished watching Haruhi Suzumiya Series and it was a real blast! Still have to watch the Movie but that is an almost 3h time commitment that I haven’t had the time yet😆
But it made me want to grab the light novels even more, maybe I’ll grab some of those for the Christmas holidays, we’ll see.

Finished watching the first season¹ of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and that Anime is sooo crazy and different and funny, I love it very much.
Haven’t laughed this much in a long time and it being somewhat old, I’m wondering why no one else has picked up on the story and did a different spin to that yet, it’s VERY UNIQUE

Think I will even grab the light novels once I’ve finished the Anime to see how it continues…and who knows, with all the older animes getting remakes or new seasons, maybe this one will get picked up again as well

So, I’m 4 Chapters into Alan Wake II and what I can say is:

HOLY SHIT is that one weird ride

I mean the first one was strange at times as well, but they took it to a whole other level with this one, I love it!
Can’t wait to find out what strangeness lurks next around the corner. And with the great graphics they were able to blend Game and real video sequences really well which adds to the atmosphere.

We go where the strange and weird is the norm and the unexpected is happening on a daily basis…in Night Springs

Finished Astro Bot yesterday, what a lovely and cute game. Highly recommended for anyone who has any history with Playstation, there are so many lovely homages to hardware, music and characters in it, it’s hard to not be on a constant trip down memory lane while playing it.

Next up:

My Eternight Review

Finished Eternights an hour ago and have to say, I’m a bit disappointed. It was more Indy than I was expecting, it being featured in 2 PS State of Plays.

The Game itself was fluid and I encountered no bugs, but it felt like the whole thing was unpolished or not given enough time (and if I remember correctly they already pushed back the launch date at the time).

The Game world itself gave a strange vibe to me (pictured itself in the current time, but had futuristic devices or design elements in it), the characters felt a little distant, unrealistic and not fully worked out. The game pacing was off too, with it being kinda stop and go, sometimes I felt rushed and sometimes it lingered too long in one place…
And I haven’t even talked about the most disappointing part: The Combat System
Again, I can see where they wanted to go with it, but it’s neither deep enough nor varied enough nor any fun. It gives the illusion that the attacks matter but that very soon wears off.

On to the good parts:
The Animation in the more important cutscenes looks great, the voice acting from the girls and guys is mostly good (why didn’t they voice the main protagonist though?) and the dating sim elements were character specific, too. (But again, I wish they would’ve included 1 or 2 more acts so that you could have more of those to get to know everyone better)

All in all, it was an okayisch game, not great but I didn’t feel like I wasted my time with it. I would recommend getting it on a sale though, full price feels hard to justify.

Ryu Ga Gotoku announces new Yakuza Game

Ryu ga Gotoku Studio has announced their next Yakuza Game, it’s like Like a Dragon: Gaiden a shorter Sidegame, set in Ichibans Hawaii and focuses on my favorite Character: Goro Majima

The Name: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

You can find the first trailer and the Collectors Edition Contents here: Yakuza Pirates

It comes out End of February next Year already and I looks like it’s as much fun as you’d imagine a Majima Game to be.
Can’t wait to play it🙌

Even though my Backlog is still big and I first wanted to reduce it a bit more before buying new games, I caved and got this 2 Beauties.
But, considering how much of a Ace Attorney Fan I am and how cute Astro Bot is (and how well it was received by fans and critics alike) I think it’s okay :D

What I've been playing lately

Totally forgot to keep up with my Games here so here’s a short summary what I’ve been playing the last few weeks:

• finished the Ace Attorney Trilogy and enjoyed it VERY much, such great music and stories, still have the Steel Samurai Theme in my head and I can’t wait to continue with Apollo Justice
• finished The Liar Princess and the blind Prince, such a sweet and deep story (feels like a child fairy tale) with a unique art style. It’s a bit on the short side but that’s not a nock against it and definitely worth a play
• finished Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man who erased his Name and my god, such a great Kiryu Story and interesting to see what he was up to during Like a Dragon and Ichiban’s rise up. CLASSIC Yakuza, the Minigames are such fun (totally forgot how difficult Pocket Circuit Racing is) and the different fighting styles of Kiryu give Combat a nice but not too stressful deepness.
• somewhat finished Hades, this one really was a surprise to me. I’m not that much into rouge-likes, but as this was recommended to me by a friend I decided to give it a spin… And what do you know, I totally got hooked on it :D The music really adds to the atmosphere and it’s fun upgrading your character and the different weapons. Finished the main story, still have to do the epilog, but as it involves collecting a ton of stuff I will continue doing this on the side from time to time

My next Game will be one that sat on my Backlog for far too long and I’m very intrigued about it as the showcases last year looked quite good: Eternights

Finished Witch on the Holy Night, an excellent visual Novel with wonderful voice Actors and Background Music. The Story is also good and the first in a shared universe, so I might get the follow-ups at one time.
The Characters are worked out over time very good and even the side characters are very lovely.
Only negative that I found was that basically, after Chapter 3 or 4 there was a ban on taking screenshots until the end due to story reasons? but it’s sad since the artwork of the game is sooo wonderful und lovely…

I also FINALLY finished Guacamelee on my PS Vita (still one of my favorite Handhelds), I started it almost a year ago (which goes to show you, I SUCK at playing multiple games concurrently😅) but it was quite a nice little indie.
Some platformer parts were quite hard, but I managed to pull through, and even the last boss was quashed after some time and multiple retries :D

Started Witch on the Wholy Night yesterday and so far I really enjoy it, kinda different Visual Novel in that you (so far) only read the story and don’t have to make decisions or move around, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Beautiful Artstyle and voice acting🥰

Finished Star Wars: Jedi Survivor last night, such a great Star Wars Story, loved it as much as the first one🙌
They used the force moves and skills really well, the Jump ’n Run/Platformer parts were really good and loosened up the combat play. They also moved the characters forward in meaningful ways and BD-1 is still such a cutie :D
Looking forward to the next one if they can keep the quality as high as this.

I think my next game will be one of my visual novels, the backlog needs to be shrunken down before I can buy some new games :D

And then, of course, the train is also getting delayed on the way…🙄

At least I can play some Jedi Survivor later to relax 😮‍💨

Next Game up: Star Wars: Jedi Survivor So far it plays like the first Title and I like the vibe very much (BD-1 is still such a cutey🥰)

Almost finished Final Fantasy VII Remake but will do that tomorrow. I’m only missing 2 more bosses but it’s late and then there’s also the Intermission DLC to consider, so tomorrow it is.

Can’t wait to see the finish :D
