My first take on Ender Lilies was way off. Game is every bit as good as Dread and Hollow Knight. Music is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, variety of the combat is amazing and movement is great. Really suggest it if you're into Metroidvanias.

Some good news reported on ESPN I found today:

Chained Echoes is a love-letter to the 16-bit era of JRPGs that doesn't suck. Not very far in, but very enjoyable so far. Makes plenty of references to some of the greats while still doing its own thing.

I might check this one out.  I saw your post and looked at it on Steam and it looks promising.  

Though I am a bit confused.....it says the game was released 12/8....

There are dudes with 50+ hours played on it already and one dude with over 100 hours (that left reviews).  

Am i in danger of not sleeping because this game is so good?  Or is the release date wrong?

I think the release date is right? I don't know how hours are calculated, but it could be people idling or streamers looking to power through to post new content first. 

It is good, although I'm only about 4ish hours in. It has done (so far) a good job of combining the good elements of its JRPG predecessors. My knee-jerk reaction is as if Final Fantasy X and XII (IMO two of the stronger post PSX entries) had a love child and it was adopted into FFVI's home.

Honestly, some Indie developers have been putting out AAA quality work recently. And at 25 bucks as full price, I have no regrets.

I 100% God of War Ragnorok, was going to start Alan Wake, but got on a Pokemon kick again so I whipped out my old copy of Shield and I'm going to actually try to finish a Pokemon for the first time in 10+ years before I get the newest one.

Oh shit do you mind doing some trading later?

I’m finishing Scarlett and bought Sword.




To answer the OP I’m pretty much on a Madden binge right now. Whenever someone busts my ass and makes me wanna change games Iv been playing Callisto Protocol.

Fun game. Not very scary but good survival horror. The main actor of that game is one of my faves too. I wanna say he was the military leader guy in transformers

Maybe? Depends on how long I play. I have a high propensity of quitting Pokémon games randomly ?

I am ashamed to admit I never played these before...Until I got Scarlet as my first ever Pokemon game.  I never really understood the appeal but i'll be damned if this thing isn't slightly addicting.  

The new age of nintendo games haven't really been my thing but i got a couple friends that love them and it was funny (to me) playing and seeing the Jigglypuff dude (Smash Bros character) in there because I thought that was another character from one of the Kirby games (since its big a fluffy)

Though I went through the story fairly quickly (the game seems really easy) I"m not sure i'll get into multiplayer or complete any of the collections.
