What are you playing?

[Helikaon]

I've mostly been putting time into two games: Blood of the Dawnwalker (it is basically The Witcher 3, but you're a vampire. It is dope) and Marvel's Wolverine (I disagree with nearly every review I have read about this game; it's dope as hell. Has a lot of flaws, but you get to feel like Logan and the story is fresh and inventive. Big thumbs up from Helikaon).

Don't get much time to game much anymore since I finally grew up and started seeking employment (took me three days to find a job), but I'm genuinely enjoying those two games.

Thanks to the Kingdom Hearts collaboration, I've actually started playing Fortnite and am enjoying it? The more basic modes without building, but I'm having fun with it.

What KH stuff have you got?

I've tried to get into it when they've added something that looks cool but it's just not for me, I think.

I actually haven't gotten the KH stuff yet, I wanted to see if I actually was going to make any use of the stuff first so I told myself not to buy it stupidly initially and just give the game a go. I have a few bits and pieces I seem to have gotten for free from the Simpsons collab (the last time and really only time before this that I played it, and that was a couple of games). There are way too many modes and options for me but the most basic one I'm liking (especially given the main map now is Sonic themed), and I'll venture into others and decide by the end of the week before it goes if I'll get the pack or not. Funnily enough I won my very first match this time around, and I did it with the Kingdom Key.

I was shocked to make this discovery myself a few months ago, haha. Fortnite can be a lot of fun; who would have thunk it? Still the only BR game I've ever managed to win solo. Probably because my competition was literal children, but I will take my wins where I can find them. No mercy.

I'm still trucking along in my quest to platinum Death Stranding.

Lately I've been trying to get the speed run achievement in Silksong before the DLC comes out (or the delay is announced). I played Hollow Knight for the first time right before Silksong released and I've been pretty hooked on both games for the last year

So many of my most anticipated games have fallen to the wayside and I haven't beaten them yet.

You've just reminded me to get back on Silksong now that things have quietened down for a bit. I 100%'d Hollow Knight and beat it on Steel Soul mode but I was playing on Switch so no platinum for me. Which of the two did you prefer overall?

Steel Soul is intense, nicely done. It's on my to-do list but need to wait til my job is in a less blood pressure raising time of year lmao

You know that's actually a really difficult question and one I think about a lot playing them. I think in a lot of ways Silksong is "better" in terms of features and mechanics. The movement is just so exceptional and there's so many options in terms of how you move and fight. But I still feel like as a complete package Hollow Knight is the more "perfect" game. It just works and I can't think of any part of the game that dragged or stopped me. Silksong gets a lot of conversation about the difficultly, but I think the bigger issue is how the difficulty is paced and how the content is spread out through the game. You really kind of run into a brick wall once you get going in the Citadel and it's the game's one major flaw IMO. It's harder for me to see now because I've beaten it so many times and I'm working out a way to beat it fast. But that first playthrough especially did not feel the way Hollow Knight did for me. There's just a special sauce there
