The most telling comment I heard someone call it was a nice palette cleanser after Mina the Hollower. Well, that game seems way too hard for me, while Elliott is too easy. *shrugs
Would you like some Ninja Gaiden Ragebound? There is an assist option if you don't want to do the default difficulty. I'm playing on normal mode though.

If that's the 2D one from last year, I played the demo and found the platform + combat to be a bit much.
That's ok, I've never gelled with any NG game.

Thank y'all for the recommendations!
Hmm, then I'll just throw out a few recommendations and see if any tickle you.

System Shock Remake - immersive sim survival horror

Return of the Obra Dinn - time puzzles horror

Mohrta - fps adventure dark

Mo Astray - Metroidvania

Void War - FTL Faster then Light, but 40k
I've played System Shock (2) and Obra Dinn, love both. Not really familiar with the others, will look into them.

Of these I've only played Chants of Sennaar and liked it a lot. Haven't played the others. I have Undertale in my backlog and just never got around playing it.

Did you ever try Noita? It has a ridiculous amount of stuff to explore, so much that you could beat the game and not even see 1/8 of its content, or even realize it exists.

I'll look into this one, thanks

About 56 minutes of that time was spent fighting or returning to the final boss. I still think Eigong was better, but it turned out closer than I expected, considering.

I won't say I'm not coming back to Silksong ever again, but I definitely feel like playing something else now.

I started Detroit: Become Human. I know it's an unpopular opinion to like David Cage's games, but I'm a fan; only about a half hour in, and I'm enjoying it. It's not so much a game as it is an experiences, and I'm on board. Seeing the choice tree and learning that my choices have weight is interesting to me; things can go very differently depending on the choices I make. The on-going problem is my lack of familiarity with the PS5 controls; the quick-time choices have me looking down at the controller. I have to read my options, then look down to see which option applies to which button, and it's a bit frustrating. I'll get more comfortable, I'm sure, but I'll probably be doing a lot of trophy cleanup once I get through this at least once.

Did one more quest, La Cage au Fou in Blood and Wine that I’d started and wanted to complete given it was like a dozen steps or something. I’ll save the rest for after completing the base game, although I also did a quick dlc contract involving peacocks which was fine enough.

I intended to get into the old FF collection, but am reserving it until after The Witcher 3. Too much time into it already to play musical games any longer, and so back into its clutches I go until my quest log is nothing but table scraps at the very least.

My brother is a fan of some of his games, but mainly this one.

Of all his games it is the best one. Conner and Hank are a fun duo, and the future aesthetic feels very well realized.

Was playing Mightreya last week, was really disappointed. Game is just hella basic, all it is is simon-says parrying and perfect dodging combat mixed with wonky as hell omni directional movement. Been also going through NJ2 black, bit by bit. Game is sick! Also played some Gravity Circuit, but My god... I am so bad at MMX style-platformers, lol. Game is fun though.

Whatever, just wash your hands.

I tried a demo of Mightreya and had similar thoughts, at best it feels like one of those games where watching someone who is really good at it could be entertaining, but playing it just felt bad. I do need to play Gravity Circuit, probably when I'm done with Kotama and the Academy Citadel.
