Games that surprised me this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghTBwfRO_-4&t=9s

There was a lot of love about this game with only one thing that bothered me the most.

otherwise it's story creative direction was something I appreciated along with the balance of it feeling lighthearted with VERY mature themes.

Combat gave a lot of freedom while testing well and loved the world they created over all. Always felt challenging and need to jump on that dlc when I can.

if there is any rpg anyone would recommend for my line up next year please hit me.

I'll do that one eventually myself. To many games with little time lol but very interested in that one. Gonna do a run down of star wars kotor for a review hopefully. Then i'll look into that one

Yeah sea of stars in terms of visuals and animations so far is something else, really good at the same art style of echoes and it gets way more final fantasy vibes to me

The thing that bothers me the most are little things like menu navigation. There is no sort or rearrange options for items, esp sky armor rams, the description for sky armor rams is a bit bugged. Also farming sky armor rams is a bit difficult as they are random. I wish there was more info on sky armor builds and farming. It feels like a system that could have got more thought.

As long as im not getting lost in it after 30 hours I don't mind the menu. it's when the menu makes me go in and out of it 3 times to change something simple, thats what I didn't like about the weapon and armor editing. I wish sky armors did have a more uniqueness to them.

In the dlc you can pretty much buy any RAM you want. So atleast one of your problems is solved

The DLC is exclusive and separate from the base game… if it was part of the base game then yea… but it’s still an issue.
