**Tails of Iron **
Not sure what's going on, but I've been feeling soulsy at the start of the year. And whilst Tails of Iron isn't your typical 'Soulslike' it does share some of that DNA, at least in a 2D sense.
I'm roughly half way through. The game has taken a somewhat unwanted turn into being a bit grind-heavy, but the core remains fun so I'll probably see this one out.
Started playing Densha de Go! on PS1 (I've had a couple of goes on Densha de Go! at an old Japanese arcade previously and didn't get very far). It's weirdly compelling. The last train sim I played was Evening Star on the ZX Spectrum, and I wasn't much cop at that either. Probably not cut out to be a train driver!
Speaking of train Sims on the spectrum, I had one set in world war 2. You had to drive a train across an occupied country, that was the simulation part.
But you also had to jump into mounted guns on your journey to shoot down attacking enemy fighters. Also, at every station, you had to shoot the enemy soldiers as they appeared at the windows.
It wasn't too bad and I think I even completed it once or twice.
Oh, that sounds amazing!
I've had some free time and found it.
The Train: Escape to Normandy published by a little company called Electronic Arts in 1988.
I'll never forget that if you switched the train into reverse while travelling forwards, it would strip the gears.
It's realistic I guess and I wasn't expecting it but it means you've buggered up your hand because you can never reverse the train which is needed in the game.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Oh, that sounds amazing!
I'm still enjoying taking my time getting through Immortals: Fenyx Rising. Currently just under 20 hours in and the PS5 says I'm only about 18% through the game. I expect that's for 100% completion and I don't plan on achieving that much.
I think realistically, I'm about 40% through the main story but I spend a lot of time exploring the huge map for other little quests.
I'm mostly playing Hades, over 100h on the game already and there are still new things to discover, new boons to try out, it is definitely one of my favourite games.
We're trying to play Haven.
I say trying, because it really doesn't like one player using a 360 pad, and the other a switch controller. And keeps randomly remapping actions.
Maybe it's the Steamlink being funny!
