I’m going as Joe/Manco/Blondie from the Dollars trilogy. My girlfriend was originally going to go as cowboy (cowgirl?) Barbie but that might be changing now

Oh man, Genichiro is one of my favourite fights. Have you figured out how to do a lightning reversal yet? It’s pretty important for the lightning phase, and the game does a pretty poor job at explaining it

Enjoy! I wish I could play it for the first time again. How far have you made it so far?

Is it your first time playing it? Sekiro is probably my favourite game of all time but it’s definitely not beginner-friendly. The steep learning curve is pretty intense but so worth it when it clicks!

I have so many games in my steam backlog at this point that I really need to get through, maybe I should try your method of setting time constraints. I usually just end up replaying the same few games over and over again, but maybe if I had a time constraint to worry about I’d get through my backlog finally

I don’t know rogue-lites too well, but I know Hollow Knight quite well, and I know Sekiro very, very well. Hollow Knight is the best 2D game I’ve ever played, and I think it’s worth at least checking out. The music, the art, the atmosphere, everything is really well done. For less than $10 it’s worth trying for 2 hours and if you don’t like it you can always refund it.

As for Sekiro, I think it’s got the best gameplay of any game ever. That being said, it has a very steep learning curve. Eventually the game will click, but until then it’ll be incredibly frustrating and very difficult. Once you get past that though it’ll feel amazing to play. Every one of my friends gave up on it before it clicked for them so there is definitely some risk but I truly believe if you push through until it clicks you’ll find it incredibly rewarding and satisfying to play.

Celeste is fantastic. One of the best 2D platformers games I’ve ever played

Strange, after reading your comment I get a very strong urge, almost need, to play that game. It’s almost like I don’t have a choice not to. Weird. Anyway, I’ll definitely play it soon

I actually had a really fun time with Starfield. It didn’t blow me away and suck me in for 1000+ hours but the 60-70 hours I spent on my first playthrough was a blast and I got immersed and really felt connected to the characters. Not to mention the ship building which I got from pretty obsessed with for a couple weeks

I appreciate it. Thank you!
