Still on the flight sim kick. Finished Wings of War on og Xbox yesterday. Had a pretty good time with it really like the bi planes very unique. Started Airforce Delta Storm on og Xbox last night. Hate the control layout thankfully it's fully customizable. Got so many back log of games on og xbox & 360 it will take me 2 years to get through probably.

Space Hulk: Ascension-I go back to this once every couple of years. Still fun.
Beholgar-A retro Rastan (so, Conan) style side scroller with a soulslite mechanic where every death returns you to your last checkpoint and a loss of currency. It also has Metroidvania aspects such as kinda sorta nonlinear progression unless you find the abilities to help you progress. I was compelled to try it because they just released a sequel and I didn't even know this series was a thing.
Speaking of Rastan, that first song in the OST still goes fucking hard.
Wizardry Variants: Daphne-of course. This game will never let me go lol. I also play it on my phone via linked account.
Um...that's it.

Armored Warriors - the Capcom beat'em up from 1994 that gets overshadowed by its quasi-sequel Cyberbots. I haven't played this in a looooooong time so it was nice to run through it again, and I liked it more this time around. You can tell Capcom put a ton of effort not just into the graphics and animations themselves, but the whole story and worldbuilding as well - there's a lot of dialogue in the game and you can tell the developers were trying to turn this into a big franchise.
I guess that's where the problem with this game lies. I played through the whole game and couldn't tell you what any single robot looked like. This game is a class-A example of what not to do when you're trying to make a franchise - you need to have characters you can relate to. In most beat em ups, you play a human or humanoid looking character. Here, it was choose your human pilot, and then choose your robot - I think you've already lost the crowd with that. I hate sounding like some corporate boss in this paragraph but I am astonished Capcom didn't reel in their people and tell them to keep it simple when it came to the characters. The entire game as well you're customizing your robot with weapons picked up from enemies you've beat (laser sword is boss), and it ends up kind of losing connection with the characters. Even after playing the whole game the only robot name I can remember is Blodia, and I had already known that before.
That said, the game is indeed a fun beat 'em up and doesn't slog on like I remembered it. What astonished me was how little-to-no slowdown there was, which is a feat for a game that looks like this with all these big enemies on screen. I really admire Capcom for making this for a lot of reasons, from the devs on the ground pouring their heart and soul into it up to the head honchos who clearly didn't interfere with the process. Unfortunately, the only thing remembered from this and Cyberbots are Jin, and that's because of his appearance in MVC2.

Since April, I was on a mission to replay as many Resident Evils as possible before I am completely caught up with the lore for Requiem. I finished RE2/3 remakes, RE5, RE6, RE7, RE Village (8), RE9 and Revelations. I played RE7 in VR for about half the game, it just got too uncomfortable/hard due to the weird movement, it was much easier non-VR. Basically, I would aim with the VR headset instead of the pad, which is pretty tough when shit hits the fan!
RE9 is pretty awesome, with two distinct style of survival horror. Hard to go back to playing the older titles like Revelations but I just need to complete Rev2, so I will stick with it. I will go back to RE0 and RE1 remake, then RE4 to complete the series.

Mortal Kombat 1 - waited for a sale to come back around. Worthwhile especially at the $20 price tag all in. I like a lot of the new timeline character versions. Shame they killed interest with the pricing of everything.
Switch 2
Star Fox - HEEEYYYAAAA!
Baba is You - Interesting little puzzle game. The kids like it as well cuz visual coding.
Xbox
Mortal Kombat Deception - finally cleared Conquest, just a couple more I locks to go. It's been fun dipping back into gen 6 gaming these past few months.

Slug 3 (og Xbox) - I've decided to revisit the game, my skills got rusty but I'm slowly getting back into the groove. I stick to my verdict that the game has too many bullet-sponge enemies but boy, does it still look gorgeous after all this time! I've replayed the ice cave like four times just to ride the elephant and watch him laser zombies to death, sooo good. That's the Neo in full flight, can't get much better than that, graphics-wise.
Undeadline (MD) - Yes, keep biting me arse, gimme more. I love it, it's so well laid out and designed, really feels like a big achievement to advance a level. I've been playing the MD version way more than the MSX original which I used to prefer over it but now that I've put quite some time into the MD port, I have to say that I still prefer the less zoomed-in levels and the weapons upgrade system on MSX but the MD version is way more intense and engrossing, gets me adrenaline flowing like little else. Good schtuff.
I, Robot (PS5) - Great game, would love to play the shmup parts in sequence, awesome psychedelic graphics, Minter-style. Damn challenging too. If you dig games like Tempest 2k/X or Rez, you gonna love it.

Been playing The Adventures of Elliot: the Millenium Tales and am enjoying it well enough.
This is not to say it's a 5 out of 5, but I'd give it a 3.
It's a Zelda clone through and through, which I would describe as 'What if 1990s era Square made a Zelda game?' The results are mostly solid, with decent enough combat and quests but the most fun part is the exploration and finding all the additional items (weapon upgrades, health upgrades, quest completion, etc.)
There is even a fairy companion that talks incessantly and it can get pretty irritating. I hear there is an update coming that allows you turn off her chatter. I will be definitely taking advantage of that.
If I have any complaints about the game, it's in the repetitive nature of the different 'ages'. It's a time travel game) and how you have to go back and forth between them to accomplish goals and complete quests to get the 'true ending'. If there was more variation in these worlds, I wouldn't find it as brain numbing but it's the same map, repeated four times, with minor changes and access either denied or granted based on which era you're in and the level of decay.
There is a basic enough story and the narrative hook is supposed to be how in you visit the ancestors of the NPCs and even yourself to gradually experience the evolution of this continent but I don't find any of it so gripping that I am invested in it in any meaningful capacity. I pick up quests, I do the things, I gather the stray cats that are wandering all over the world in the four ages and I just proceed. Solving the puzzles of the various 'trial temples' and 'boss dungeons' to progress the story and get new abilities is where it's at for me.
Regarding the 'true ending', I completed it and got a/the 'bad ending', but it was nice of them to deposit me at the save point outside the final dungeon, so the game is set up in a way that you wouldn't miss anything essential and can always go back and do enough to achieve it without having to 'start over'. And the quality of life element of being able to teleport between ages from the map screen is nice, and you can also teleport to any save points you've unlocked in the same way, even in the dungeons, so it doesn't waste your time in that regard.
To me, this is an interesting experiment that works as a gameplay loop but isn't terribly interesting when it comes to interacting with the world's inhabitants or advancing their stories. This is, at best, a budget title. It's not difficult to beat enemies or bosses on the 'normal' level so the hardest thing becomes figuring out how to get to the various caves and dungeons sprinkled on the map, whereas navigating them and getting through them is something any child with a modicum of experience at video games could overcome.
Still, if you're not that interested in what Zelda has morphed into over the years and you want to play something 'new' in that 'old' milieu, it's all right. If you're familiar with the HD-2D subgenre that SE has made a staple of their retro library, then this has that same vibe and feel, albeit with less interesting combat and gameplay.

I've been playing nothing but Llamasoft: The Story of Jeff Minter (PS5) with 42 of his games from past to present and an interactive documentary (Atari 50-style). Emu quality is great and even though I'm a fan since Gridrunner that came out in 1983, it has background info that I didn't know of, including rare pictures and all. Super Sache.
Playing me favs like Gridrunner, Matrix, Voidrunner, Ancipital or Tempest 2k again really brought a big smile to my face, it's awesome to have them all in one place. Minter always was a fan of right the og arcade games I also happen to love, like Centipede, Defender and Tempest, guess that's why I dig his games a lot. They also have one thing in common, they're all highly playable and that even goes for games Jeff made on ZX81 with 1k of RAM, and usually are batshit crazy and/or contain psychedelic stuff like his Colourspace and Psychedelia light synthesizers, really trippy, specially at the time they came out (from mid-80s to late 90s).
Bought the physical release, of course.
Yak lives!

Finished RE Revelations 2, it is so much better than Rev 1. The Raid mini-game is also excellent. For shits and giggles, I am now playing through Operation Raccoon City. Not sure I like it but at least it runs well since the 360 version is backwards compatible on XB1/series X.

Operation Raccoon City is the first game in the series I flat out hated.
Great idea for a game.
Filled with douchey characters that could have been lifted out of any dudebro squad based shooter at the time and shitty gameplay. Especially the sticky cover mechanics. The monsters being a rogue element was a nice idea that never really panned out.

I played the import with Guncon first and while I wouldn't call it a great game, playing it that way wasn't the most terrible experience. You could freely explore, hunt for items and clues and plot your path through the environments. Still felt like Resident Evil to me because it was still trying to preserve the atmosphere of the series. I forgave it but I also enjoyed it with the gun.

PS5
Finished The Adventures of Elliot and got the 'true ending'. They offered a NG+ but there is absolutely no reason to ever return to this game. A one and done and a budget title. Doesn't make it bad. Just means it's not worth a 60 dollar entry point.
Went back to Berserk and the Band of the Hawk. I was watching someone doing a retrospective on all 3 Berserk video games and the game looked more fun than I remembered when I first played it. It's a Musou/Dynasty Warriors style game and, yes, eventually it gets just as boring as I remember. The gameplay itself DOES make some effort to translate some of the look and feel of the 2012 anime trilogy but unfortunately, it revels too much in its own bloodshed to be anything other than the antithesis of what Berserk is supposed to be. It gets none of its themes, essence or gravitas but then again, it's a musou game. It's just there for you to hack and slash, look cool and wreak havoc. Anyone that actually wants to play this game in order to revisit the source material is retarded. Maybe not the best choice for a musou adaptation, given its serious messaging, but eh...hacking up hundreds of dudes as Guts is still fun. Taken for what it is and in small doses, it won't overstay its welcome. And I remember how much fun it was to go bonkers with Berserker Armor Guts the last time I played through this, but you unlock characters as you progress through the story, which goes all the way up to fighting Ganishka and fleeing the city of Vritannis.
For the record, I consider the Dreamcast game the best of the three overall. The vid I watched had the guy playing an English translation of the PS2 game. I'd like to know how he managed to do that. I didn't know PS2 could be emulated. Then again, I don't really keep up on that sort of thing so if anyone wants to point me to a PC PS2 emulator that has an English translated verson of the PS2 Berserk game, PM me. Send all dick pics to @SonGohan tho.
PC
Beholgar-Finished this up. A short, fun, punishing 'metroidvaina' that lacks some polish but is charming enough.
Beholgar 2-the graphics get an overhaul and everything moves more smoothly but a lot of the underlying issues, such as stiff controls and awkward character movements and attacks remain. It is basically just Beholgar with a nip and tuck. Still fun enough for 7 bucks.
Wizardry Variants Daphne-Of course. Not sure this game will ever let me go lol

Finished RE Operation Raccoon City, the game isn't as bad as I expected. While it is far from great, the squad shooter/co-op was actually pretty decent. My biggest problem is that the human enemies are bullet sponges and the sound design is just off. None of the weapon hits have any weight to them at all. The game is also goofy as heck, I chose to kill Leon since this is non-cannon anyway and treated to a goofy death scene.

I've been playing Super Double Dragon somewhat regularly. For the longest time I was like "Nope, too hard, just play Return Of Double Dragon", but I can actually handle the game now. Enemies definitely behave differently, getting hit with a weapon is a much greater threat, but nothing is as bad as I used to think.

I've been playing a special selection of games with Max, the son of my neighbour. Little Max is big into toy soldiers, toy tanks, all things army and guns, so he wants to play games with all that stuff. His top favs at the moment are Slug 3 (og Xbox), Space Gun (he loves the weird enemy creatures), Operation Wolf and the sequel Operation Thunderbolt on Taito Memories (og Xbox) and Alien Brigade on 7800, with a bit of TNK III (mame) and Firepower (Amiga) thrown in for good measure.
Operation Wolf is a game I really love, have played it more or less from day one when the cab got installed in a bowling center I used to go to. The sequel Op. Thunderbolt is nice as well but I prefer the pure and simple first part over it. Alien Brigade on 7800 has a similar level setup as Op. Wolf and a quite ridiculous alien theme in typical zany Atari style. It doesn't look as good as Op. Wolf but is fun to play and most importantly adjusted to be played with a pad or joystick instead of a light gun which is difficult on 7800 anyway. This makes hitting enemies a bit easier.
Speaking of which, we've been playing Op. Wolf and Thunderbolt with my trusty ASCII PS2 Arcade stick (the grey one with PS logo) and I managed to advance to level 4 on one credit, never got that far in the game with the gun, although I would love to go back to playing it the way it was meant to be played on the original cab with that Uzi-style sub gun, my friends and I found that soo cool and wasted many a Deutschmark on it.
Does anyone know a cool current tank game? Preferrably one with a first-person view from inside the tank, I'm sure there are some of them, so far I've only found online multiplayer games but I'm looking for one with a campaign/1P mode or even a split-screen local 2P mode. Any ideas?
I've also been playing Gridrunner, Matrix and Voidrunner on the PS5 Minter collection, haven't found any unlockables so far but I'm sure there's something in it, just gotta play a while longer.

World of Tanks kind of killed the genre. I liked the Panzer Elite Action series (PC/OG Xbox) and Seek and Destroy (PS2).
Most Mech games have the first person view. There is a much larger selection of games there.

Pragmata is scratching that Dead Space gameplay itch and the story and pacing is good. Splatoon I'm still early on, hasn't hooked me quite yet.
