A few of the things that have us hooked this week.
What have you been playing?
Catch up with the older editions of this column in ourWhat We’ve Been Playing archive.
And what a treat it is!
Battles, meanwhile, mostly take care of themselves after some prior organisation and a bit of prodding.
It’s all here, with seemingly plenty of depth.
Now I’m back, I’m excited to play more from the comfort of my sofa instead.
I ask because for me, Metaphor: ReFantazio is on the cusp.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a sense of style.
But there’s a point for me at which the overt styling starts to intrude too much.
So it dresses it up.
It dresses everything up.
There’s so much energy nothing ever seems to stay still for long.
But there’s a point at which all this jumping around and overstyling starts to make my head hurt.
There’s also a point at which I just want to play the actual game.
Look, get over it, I’m over it, just play the game!
That kind of stuff looks awesome and also serves to help give the world some history.
What is this beast?
Are they still around?
How did it end up there?
Absolutely not, so there’s no chance this will end badly for me.
