Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations

It’s almost universally considered one of the best in the series, and one my favorites to this day. Hope you enjoy it!

Alan Wake Remastered

Played this back in when it was released for the 360 and loved it. Like you said is less horror and more of a thriller, clearly inspired by shows in the vein of The Twilight Zone.

Playing Rabi-Ribi post-game!

… and it’s absolutely crazy.

It starts with you going through a huge area where old bosses show up as regular enemies (at least you are not required to fight them), folllowed by a puzzle-like boss who mimics your equipments so you have to figure out what is worth equipping and what buffs the boss too much, continuing with a 19 boss rush without saves (thankfully they are scaled down and there’s a few checkpoints in the middle), and finally a boss who not only is fairly hard but also has 5 life bars. And that’s only Chapter 6!

But honestly? It was quite fun. Really challenging and made me sweat a lot, but never felt insurmountable.

Chapter 7 was relatively tame compared to the previous one, just a big area with a ton of plataforming challenges. And now I reached Chapter 8 which finally lets me go to the Library area… let’s see what awaits me there.

Playing Trails Through Daybreak II!

Finished the Prologue and Overture chapters and the plot throws has some interesting early-game twists.

Loved that we get Elaine right on the prologue (hoping she sticks around as a regular party member this time) and that also see the return of two members of the “Imperial Picnicking Front” from Reverie.

On the negative side, the visual quality on the Switch version is a much worse than recent Falcom games and it’s bad enough to become distracting at times. A shame considering both Daybreak 1 and Ys X looked and ran reasonably well on the platform.
