The two major things I loved about BOTW and TOTK were the flexibility of the puzzle solutions and the story; I think if those aspects can be put into a new world and setting, I would be very happy.
Also in both games if a puzzle is too hard or you’re just not in the mood, you can step away and do something else; I loved this, it lets your mind refresh so to speak. I want the new game to feel this welcoming.
With Street Fighter 6, yup I mean the Story Mode; I clocked in about 130 hours! Mostly because it has a lot of content if you want to try and max out all of the masters, try out many of the optional challenges and overall just trying to get better at with the moves (I’m not good at fighting games so I took my time practicing a lot). I had SO much fun, also there are two big semi-openish areas that are nice and diverse.
In Tears of the Kingdom, I had around 180+ hours; I did a lot of Shrines but mostly it was just exploring/spelunking in the sky/world/depths and trying to come up with crazy contraptions. I’m not sure how many koroks I did, but I don’t think it was many, just whatever I found on the road.
Anyway I loved them both very much, this has been a great year for gaming!
Super Mario Bros 3 and Pokemon Crystal are games that I always come back to, so many memories.
I’ve just finished Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom and I’m working through Pokemon Ultra Sun at the moment; its fantastic.
I will probably jump to FF16 later on this year, but for now I will take a break with the huge games.
I am almost done with Pokemon Ultra Sun and will be starting Signalis this weekend; I don’t usually play a lot of horror games anymore but this one reminds of me the older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games.
