There are missions but they’re different. You need to buy a kit first that’ll let you do a certain kind of mission, for example a kit to find special herbs that you bring to a particular character.

Money is more scarce and it is split between “regular” money and gold. Gold gets you good stuff like fancy horses or outfits or kits, but it is rare in the game, unless you pay real money for it.

All that said, there are a lot of people modding and playing online can be quite chaotic, with random objects becoming attached to you, animals spawning, massive explosions, invincible people, etc. But some people are also benevolent and will protect you, especially if you have a low level, and may even gift you stuff.

Anyway, I’d recommend you give it a shot, it’s a way to play with the characters and places you know but in a different way.

Definitely the kind of game where you stay too long in each menu because you don’t want to cut off the music

Yes! That little tune at the beginning with the Cyan logo is engraved in my brain.

I didn’t speak English when I played the game and I would call my mom over every time I found a new page and make her translate. But then they were just chopped up words and there wasn’t much to translate, and I so desperately wanted to understand because it seemed important.

Stray. I have been wanting to play it for a while and it’s currently on sale.

The environment is pure eye candy to me.

Sonic adventure for the Dreamcast. It was released in 1998 and I played it for the first time in 2019… and it blew my mind. It’s such a solid game, a really cool environment with amazing camera angles, diverse levels, and a difficulty that’s just right.
