FF is a great port for sure! Totally forgot to dig that out. I even like "bad" games like Hat Trick and Larry Bird vs. Dr. J.

Celeste - in world 5. This game is fun but kicking my ass. It is immensely satisfying to get that one strawberry or make that one jump after 30+ deaths

Too soon to say, but my earliest impression is of more style than substance. Definitely pretty to look at.

Record of Lodoss War: Beat this with a 96% map. (The in-game map looked complete to me, so I'm not sure what I missed.) The graphics and style are great, and the weapons are pretty varied, but the bosses kinda suck. You just have to fight them two or three times to understand their patterns and then just have some patience. It's not a challenging game, but it's fun, and I think it would be unfair to be expecting SotN-level quality.
River City Ransom: I had never played this, somehow. The Switch Online save states are obviously much more convenient than the password system. It's annoying that you don't know what stat boosts each item gives you – especially since they're all pretty expensive. But other than that, it's a great game and I can't think of anything like it from that era.
Ice Hockey: If I have ten minutes to kill, this is the way I've been doing it for the past month.
Metroid Dread Demo: I was fighting off the flu when I played this and was pretty out of it, but the map design just seemed kinda off to me. Like in most Metroidvanias, it's pretty clear what general direction you should be going in, but with this I felt like I was just chipping away at whatever direction. I love Metroid, but I'm not sure if I love Spanish Metroíd.

There’s a physical for that ROTLW coming the end of this month I’m most likely getting, good to hear your take on it.
Have you tried River City Girls? How about Friends of Ringo Ishikawa on Switch? That’s an interesting one.
Back at E.D.F. 2025 finished game on inferno with ranger. Using Wing Diver now, takes forever to build up armor for her. I'm currently at 1576. I just don't think it's even possibly to finish on inferno with Wing Diver. I barley made it through stage 85 "Star Eaters" with ranger on inferno. I have finish wing diver easy, normal and almost finished with hard. I farmed alot of stages on inferno to unlock level 90 weapons. Man I have logged more hours into this game than any other 360 it's crazy one of my absolute favorite games ever.

I played this through on PS3, and coop made the slowdown just hit hard. It was still a ton of fun though.The PS4 remake EDF 4.1 is way more fluid and keeps the campy charm intact, highly recommend

Celeste - beat this one with 75/175 strawberries collected. The platforming is phenomenal (challenging) and well paced, and the soundtrack is killer. 10/10 would recommend.
Xbox
Jade Empire - haven't been home much to keep playing this so i get in sessions when i can. On chapter 3 and the story and character progression is janky but has that Bioware charm.
PS4
Yakuza Kiwami - started this as a coop playthrough with the wife. Slow start, but it picked up and I'm enjoying the Sega levels of absurdity.

Wow you are brave. I can barely do any stage on Inferno as Ranger. I cheese EDF (2017?) on 360 on Insane.
I play EDF 4.1 on PC, it runs so much smoother than console (PS4) or 2025.
It's all about getting your armor /hp built up big time. I had to get to 16,500 up for my ranger to withstand stage 85 "Star Eaters" on inferno. The second phase of the earth eaters is where it will absolutely drain you in seconds. The purple lasers are a death sentence if several home in on you. On top of that once they track you will not be able to see shit to aim & pound the brain with the Lysander Z. Every second & shot counts to hit the brain if you miss several shot you might as well start the stage over. If you manage to beat phase two you are home free the last phase is easy. I used both weapons slots with the Lysander Z that way you can switch & rapid fire the sniper.
The absolute worst enem9on inferno are the spider, if you get like 3 on you it's an instant kill even with 16,000 health.

Devil World - Konami mid 80s arcade game. It's like Gauntlet. Strange game, enjoyed it for a while but not enough to finish it.
Mystic Warriors - Holy shit where has this been all my life. "Skull captured your friend!" Soundtrack is insane. @DevilRedeemed you ever play this? LMBO @ the Captain Planet-level of diversity in characters.

I just finished the campaign mode for Blitz: The League for the second time ever. The “story” doesn’t age well, but that game is so fun and for me, gets really overlooked. I might try Blitz 2’s campaign again, but again, the “story” doesn’t age well (it includes inferences to Mike Vick’s “Ron Mexico” situation). The major change in part 2 is targeting specific body parts for injuries.

Last of Us Remastered- First time playing LOU and my expectations were pretty high. So far it delivers but it's very much a product of it's time, end of PS3 life, height of Walking Dead before it went to total shit, a dash of The Road. Using what I assume is the Uncharted engine allows for some quite stunning areas but makes the stealth and item management a bit clunky. Minor criticisms aside it's a very good game and definitely deserves the insane amount of praise.

PCE/Genesis
Daimakumra testing on the Genesis for future sale (the console) and I picked up an old SSDS3 for my supergrafx. Not sure what I'm going to do with current PCE and newer SSDS3 Pro or whatever it's called. I mean if an update tweaks the choppy movement of the SGX, I would use it.

Yakuza Kiwami - on chapter 3 and the story is bonkers. I don't know how I missed this on PS2.
Dark Souls - i made a decision to beat a souls game this year. Just started as a Knight and going with a strength/Dex build. Just made it to the Taurus Demon so we'll see how it goes.
