I bought Octopath Traveler II. I never thought I’d be playing RPGs again but ever since I’ve gotten the Steam Deck it’s really changed the way I’ve gamed. I don’t have long sessions because I play for about an hour before bed so I end up beating longer games in 3-4 months.
For me, it’s Beatmania by Konami. I first played it as a highschooler in the late 90s and it’s totally changed the way I visualize music. I will never not think of music as notes falling towards a line because of it.
Is there any launcher that works well with Pixel’s transition animations when using gesture mode? I haven’t tried for a few years because there would be weird animation glitches from things like switching apps or going back to the home screen.
My cousins who are in their late 20s probably spend more time watching playthroughs than playing the games themselves. I think part of it is they simply can’t afford to buy all the games they want to play. Another part is some games are just a good story that can actually be viewed and experienced through a playthrough.
Personally, if the game is easily available to me, I’d prefer to just play it.
I’m so glad I started the series from Trails in the Sky 1. I’m currently on Cold Steel 2 and it’s been a great time.
