This game is really tickling that part of my brain that is addicted to Slay the Spire. How every character has their own gimmick.

This game is really tickling that part of my brain that is addicted to Slay the Spire. How every character has their own gimmick. I love playing as the Watcher on daily runs so having a character who functions similarly to her makes me happy. Not quite as exaggerated as the Watcher, but the character still can do some attacks with such ridiculous damage outputs when played properly. I'm really loving the combat so far. It's really gonna mull me over until Slay the Spire II comes out.

Oh my god. They did it. A protagonist who doesn't talk to themselves about what is going on.

Really hoping this doesn't get overshadowed by the hype for the Oblivion remaster and the Switch 2 preorders. I'm very interested in playing this. Just gonna have to try to preorder the Switch 2 on the same day first, work, and then get around to this.

Clair Obscur also looks mechanically and thematically interesting, but does remind me of how much I wish AA studios wouldn't chase visual fidelity and realism. There are fantastical elements depicted, but they still seem very grounded in visual realism. Very reminiscent of AAA fantasy games, and a lot of mainstream fantasy cinema SFX. That said, it does look rather pretty …

There are fantastical elements depicted, but they still seem very grounded in visual realism. Very reminiscent of AAA fantasy games, and a lot of mainstream fantasy cinema SFX. That said, it does look rather pretty so I feel somewhat conflicted over the fact that I like aspects but wish they'd lean a bit more into the fantastic from a stylistic point of view.
