Well, damn. Go Kirkman!

Hmm… for me, it’s less about memory and more about helping myself see a pattern of what I like and what I don’t, which eventually helps me make better purchasing decisions.

Like, when I look at a list of my favorite games, I can conclusively tell you: I like challenging, replayable games with real-time action, synergy among their mechanics, and mechanical variety.

For me, this knowledge would not have been attainable if I didn’t sit down and put together a list of what I like/what I don’t like.

I use Gamebrary because it’s FOSS, so I suppose you could in theory clone the repo and self-host it, but IDK how self-hosting ready it is.

Just hand this IP to the Hi-Fi Rush devs already…

There already is a Steam page and the description says co-op action RPG.

I mean, perspective matters, I suppose: you could use isometric/top down and 3rd person to make a distinction between PoE and HZD, but then again I don’t play either, or ARPGs in general, so that’s as nuanced of a take as I could have on this.

Well, I’ll be damned… this is looking more and more like a proper action game. Ima give it a shot on release.

God damn, I wish it was a fighter, but I’ll take an ARPG. Will give it a shot when it comes out 👐

I’m glad Suda51 is still making new IPs, but I’m kinda over his gameplay? It needs to evolve somehow… like, melee here looks a lot like Killer Is Dead, which was serviceable, but not great.

Of course, everything else is captivating, as it always is, but I’ll need more from the gameplay to get invested in this.

Tag fighters aren’t my thing and ASW are headed in the opposite direction of what I want from a fighting game, but I’m happy for them! They came a long way and more or less stuck to their guns, which’s admirable.

I’m happy to go down with Plus R, P4AU, and Under Night though.

Well, none because favorites are super subjective, but I’ll shout out my favorites because no one else did:

1. The Wonderful 101
2. Bayonetta
3. Ninja Gaiden II
4. God Hand
5. Viewtiful Joe
6. Catherine
7. Gravity Rush
8. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R
9. Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes
10. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
11. Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion
12. Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi
