Welcome to the last weekly thread of 2024! We are going to skip the next weekend as some of you (including me) might be on holidays. So, Happy Holidays!

Still Playing Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout as my primary game. I am getting near the end, but I have been ignoring alchemy for a little while, so may have to spend few hours catching up. Should be able to finish it next week though.

Just got Vampire Survivors from Epic store for free, so have been playing that for last 30 mins or so. I liked the trial on Switch, but didn't get it there cause I when I am on Switch I would rather play other games, on PC though, I can play it sometimes when I don't have access to consoles. Not sure how long or regularly play it, but enjoying it for now.

And since this might be a long weekly thread, what are you planning to play over the holidays?

I am thinking about starting Yakuza 6 on PS. I was planning to replay the first 5, but going to skip them now and go straight to the next one.

On Switch, will continue Donkey Kong Country 2 after Atelier Ryza. Not sure if I'll have enough to finish that too or not.

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

@slimerancher, oh, and if you would like to learn bullet hells better and don't mind some slightly disturbing imagery, Angel at Dusk is a great and accessible game. It has an outstanding tutorial to interactively teach you not just the mechanics, but also how exactly to pull off the required (sub)genre moves.

Well, I'll have to see how disturbing it is, will take a look! Even if I don't get better it sounds like something worth trying.

@slimerancher it has a demo too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Just looked it up, it's also on sale currently. Out of budget for this month, but will try to get it soon.
