Added to backlog: Gibbon: Beyond the Trees (I love gibbons, could watch them swing for hours), Windbound

I'm very much into Like a Dragon now. Such a fun game. It is crazy how they turned Yakuza into a JRPG so successfully.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I was interested to see how they would execute it and I thought they did it very well.

Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Windbound

Added to Backlog: Windbound

Current Backlog: 42 games

I never started Stardew Valley, but picked up Windbound for $2 so I may as well jump into that.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'll say that I can see why it's got a mediocre / mixed reception on Steam though. If you don't appreciate the vibes of sailing around and find a sort of slower burn type of experience fun, it's not easy to love. And many dismissed it immediately because of the obvious homage to BOTW in terms of visuals, but despite activating towers like that and many other games, it is very much its own thing. Anyway, I had a really fun time with it, and I'm glad I played it on survivalist instead of the narrative mode (forgot what that's called). It felt like more of a proper and lengthy adventure with a nice sense of weight and consequence when death returned you to the beginning, but I am a fan of roguelikes/lites, and many aren't. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

From Limited Run? Abso ******* lutely not . They are terrible at fulfilling orders in a timely fashion. Also, I have a mortgage and Infinite Wealth comes out this month . I will get the digital version and call it a day. I just cannot wait to play it again...and there's a boss rush !
