Sorry Eliza, some days hit like that for sure 🙁 hope things get better.

That's a nice set 😊 how far are you in Grand Bazaar?

M: Monster Hunter Wilds

I mean, there is so much to collect and hunt over and over and over and over... but the nice part is that it is fun to do. Easiest letter of the challenge hands down. 🙌

Never did the gb one, only the NES game. It was very hard and I remember the diagonal grappling hook being an issue 😅 (I didn't beat it).

Day 24: Game you wanted to love but couldn't

Fire Emblem Engage

3 of the 10 FE games I have played haven't really landed for me, and this is one. Coming from Three Houses, this went in a completely different direction and was a big letdown for me. The only thing that was nice was the cooking. 🫤

- - - longer and slower (even moreso that Persona games normally are). It just felt full of unnecessary stuff, and the dungeons stretched and stretched on... 🫤

Also using both hands to play a mobile game is something that tends to bother me.

Something wasn't quite right about this game.

Games I've Dropped in 2025

Sixth Drop, The PhantomX

I love P5R and its world. The style and the flair is great. This game has a lot of polish, and I even like a fair number of gachas, so what went wrong? 🤔

The pacing and the controls. The gacha mechanics in this game made it feel much - - -

Okay, if you're doing Dicey Dungeons...
Give Slice & Dice a try (and then give a hot take on which you think is better 😂). That's my pitch. 👍

This is a really good game. It's got some text bubble dialogue back and forth - but it's on the shorter side. Need to get back to this game to do the dlc when it happens. 😊

Have you done Live-A-Live? 🤔 It's RPGs, but 7 micro RPGs that all merge at the end into one story. It's only like a 15-20 hour game iirc (so it's on the shorter side).

Have you done Disco Elysium?
If not that then Slay the Princess. Those are my pitches. 😊

What's that from?

Yeah, possibly. If it has something to motivate me/push me forward, that might help. 😊 I'll give both of them a looksee. Thanks!

I like making sigils....

My top 10.

Fortunately i know Octopath 0 will push the absolutely terrible game that was Daybreak 2 off my list lol

I also played an obscene amount of replays this year.

I did FF13 trilogy
FF6, FF9

The Entire Suikoden series
Persona 3-5
Star Ocean 4
Vandal hearts, Tales of Graces, SH2, BD2

Lots of very complete-able games on there. Good luck beating them all and I hope you have a great time. 😊

Okay, so that's a wrap for this challenge but I am always open to suggestions of new games, especially indie games! So feel free! 🤗

Thanks to everyone who contributed 🤩💛, and I'll make sure to tell you all my thoughts! Put 1 game suggestion from each, but may play the others at some point too!

I do enjoy the chaos of random, and I probably do it more than my main, but I always have a main because there are some characters that fit the way I want to play better than others. 😊

That's awesome. Love to see it. 😊

Awesome. 😊

The tutorials really help in this game, and the solo mode starts out slow, but it's great for introducing you to different parts of the game.

GL and have fun!

Yay! 🙌 You have such an amazing amount of Peak right there!! 😍 Fun times are abound. 😁

Day 23 Results (Game With Prettiest Art Direction):

Datvi - Unicorn Overlord 🦄
MarcG - Octopath Traveller II 🏠
Finn - Alan Wake II 😴
Joes - Rhythm Heaven 🎶
Bro - Chrono Trigger ⏰

Yeah. My first three thoughts on this question were already used 😅 - so I had to rummage around a bit to figure things out.

Let's see, have you done either Ender Lillies or Ender Magnolia? 🤔

I've only done Magnolia (the 2nd game), but it was a great Metroidvania. Lots of pretty art, interesting mechanics. 😊

My vote is for: This War of Mine (Complete Edition). Switch or PC, your call. 😊

IMPRESSIVE 😎👍

Yeah one of my other friends said the same. I think it's related to if you disabled some form of their tracking something or other. 🤔 Not sure though.

I've actually heard of Dungeon Crawler Carl, so that is pretty high up there for me. 😊 Thanks for the recs!

Yeah, yeah. That checks. It can be a lot 😅

I was just thinking, in terms of games where I recall characters long after (which I tend to not do well) it is pretty high up there.

Plus Witcher IV hype 😎

My beard really wasn't that impressive 😂 l think my coaches were just weird/probably watched it high and such and thought it was funny.

But the name stuck, it works. 👍
