Finished Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, last couple of levels were pretty tough, needing very twitchy reflexes, but finally beat it!

Octopath Traveller is still not available to buy… so,

Bought and started Axiom Verge, the game is an obvious love letter to Metroid / Super Metroid, but it’s not a straight copy, the powers, weapons and level designs are it’s own, with many QoL updates and way more accessible for modern audience.

For instance there is a save point near every boss (don’t remember if Metroid had those), and if you die, you don’t lose any progress since last save, instead you go back to save location but keep all the progress.

No wonder the game is loved so much.

What about all of you? What have you been playing lately?

    I’ve been playing Huntdown and I’m on the last level now (I think). It’s a really fun 16-bit inspired shooter with 80’s vibes and a great soundtrack. The bosses are challenging but in a way that once you figure out the pattern, they’re easy to beat.

    I’m also going to play some Mario Wonder this weekend, I’ve been really enjoying it, but I feel like I haven’t been able to dedicate enough time to it 😬

      Oh yeah, I have seen SwitchUp mention Huntdown multiple times, it even has a sequel out, Huntdown X. It’s on my wishlist.

      What happened to River City Girls 2? I thought you were playing that?

        Oh, I didn’t know about the sequel to Huntdown! I’ll look it up.

        Yeah, River City Girls 2 is still on my list, but I’m saving it to play co-op. But I don’t think I’ll be doing any co-op gaming this weekend.
