Finished Marvel's Midnight Suns !

Didn't max all relationships or levels of characters, but did enough of them. The game was really good, and you get to spend lots of times outside of combat exploring the Abby and socialising with other characters.

There is some of that weird vibe from characters, if you are used to MCU versions, but you get used to it soon enough. All characters are pretty well portrayed, and voice acting is also pretty good.

Combat is pretty satisfying. I was skeptical of it at first as I am not a fan of these deck-building games, but it works out pretty well. As you are a super hero, there is no hiding behind the cover. There are some buffs and debuffs, but you have to be careful about using it too. Since every turn enemy reinforcement join the fight. Most of these are usually "minions" which mean they are one hit kill, but since you are limited to 3 cards / actions per turn, you have to play pretty aggressively. And there were a few levels where the enemy combination make this very annoying. Thankfully, those are very few.

Overall, loved the game. May come back to it to try the "dark" path in a few years.

Cleared the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza on to 6th one now. About halfway done with this too.

Too many thorns here though.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

If you don't like Marvel, you may not enjoy the game much. You spend a significant amount of time talking with other heroes, and while they aren't same as in Avengers movie, they are close enough.

The combat system in Baiten Kaitos seem very intriguing, but I get anxiety when my items break in the game, so not sure how I'll feel about this. @sdcSpade@lemmy.zip played the games couple of years ago, and went for 100% completion, not sure if I will ever be able to do that. The thing I remember most from their posts is the "Shampoo" card 😀

The shampoo, I think, ages after 336 hours. 100% completion seems like madness. Luckily, I've botched that already, so I'm not tempted.

As for breaking items: I usually hate those, too. Both the recent Zelda games and the last Animal Crossing suffered from them. But they work here, for reasons I can't explain. For the most part, I got better items long before the old ones perished.

Yeah, sometimes they can work well with the mechanics, make you not hoard the items.
