Finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!

Loved the game. There are some performance issues, but nothing major. And that's pretty much the only issue with the game.

It's not a very long game, but not a very short one either. Don't know exactly how long it took me (It has only been 8 days, would need to wait 2 more days for hours to show up in profile), but I think it was somewhere around 20 to 30. And while I have explored every area and done pretty much all the side-quests I have come across, I saw total accessories online and I don't even have over half of them, so there's apparently many things I am missing.

Loved the gameplay, felt like a TotK lite. Echoes are fun, though if you find some OP echo (there are a few) they can help you blaze through most enemies, but even they have some limitations. Though, you have to go out of the way to find those. Other than fighting, they also help you traverse different areas, and different echoes can help you solve problems in different ways.

There are many "duplicates" though, that is different echoes that do similar things, but this just allows you to use the one you like. There are some echoes I didn't use much, but my son liked them a lot and used them regularly.

Overall a very good game, though, I haven't played most of the 2D Zeldas so I can't stay where it stand with them.

So, just finished the game, one of the rare times where I have finished both what I am playing on PS and on Switch. Now what to start next? I have couple of options, will decide later tonight.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Finished Ginka!

Overall a good VN. Ginka was a great character and I loved seeing all the different sides of her, there were some good twists, and even a nice epilogue showing a bit of the character's lives after the ending.

Finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!

While I still prefer more "traditional" Zelda games, this was a blast to play. The developers seem to be experimenting with a middle ground between the old-school games and more open-world entries like BOTW, and I think they did a really good job here.

There's a few annoyances that could be improved in a sequel, like the lack of good rewards for exploration/puzzles and some clunkiness in the combat, but nothing major.

And since this is a topic a lot of people ask, the performance problems are definitely noticeable and I would have preferred the game to stick to a locked 30FPS, but again it didn't hurt my enjoyment of the game.

Since I finished Zelda 5min ago I haven't yet decided what I'll play next. 😅

Leaning towards towards another VN, in which case Emio: The Smiling Man or Atri: My Dear Moments (link to the Japanese eShop) are the strongest candidates.

Heh, I was same yesterday, made a post soon after finished the game.

I agree with lack of good awards. By the end, I didn't care about 20 more Rupees, or another monster part. They need to better awards.

Whew, Nintendo price mark up a lot.
