What Games Are You Playing?

just started playing Black Myth Wukong and feel not very familiar, losing to the black bear boss. But the game is very good, and the game sound effect is great.
 
Finally started Persona 3 Reload after buying it months ago. I have already played a previous version so I have set it to Merciless difficulty. This has led to many defeats and much lost progress but that's mainly because of poor planning, ignoring better equipment that is available and biting off more than I can chew. So far it's been a good time. My next move should probably be focusing on the schoolyard adventures instead of slugging it out against monsters every night.
Nice. I heard the trophy list for the Sly trilogy on the PS5 version is harder than the PS3 HD remasters but at least you got the rewinds to help you there.
I played some of Sly Cooper too. The new trophy list is very different. The PS3 set was basically just a checklist rewarding completion. The new trophies are a mix of those goals and challenges in certain levels. Some of them are quite force you to look at a level really differently than normal and find other solutions to platforming. I've only done the first world of levels but it's helped me complete the time trails for the first time ever.
 
Completed a set of runs with one deck on Balatro. Each deck has a different rule, extra hand or extra discard or extra cash at the start. Each run you complete you can go up a difficulty level which takes things away or puts a status on some jokers like limiting the number of hands it'll work for. Including the first run there's 8 levels to beat.

I’ve now completed both Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Amongst Thieves and platinumed them too. This process took a few extra hours each as there’s a couple of more grind-heavy trophies to obtain. I’d say 3 is my favourite of the trilogy as the maps were less oversized and I enjoyed the new (and returning) character additions. Not sure when I’ll get around to Thieves in Time as I don’t have the space to boot up my PS3 at the moment.

My next title to play is Mafia Definitive Edition for which I’ve played through the first few missions and picked up a handful of collectibles for- so far so good but the driving is clunky and the 30fps cap is more noticeable than I was anticipating.
 
Currently replaying Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country since I reached Chapter 8 in the base game. I definitely prefer the two games on replay and I already really loved both of them.
 
Playing through Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on Switch and Tales of Graces f Remaster on PS5 at the minute. Really loving both.

Played them both first time round on Wii in 2010 and it's really nice revisiting them. Tales especially as Graces has been my favourite in the series since first playing it, and that opinion has only been solidified on playing this remaster.
 
I’ve been working my way through the Mafia trilogy for the remainder of the month and the story is the sticking point for me getting through them as the gameplay has its ups and downs in all three entries.
 
In case you missed it, I've compiled all of my 2024 completed game write-ups on my blog - Part 1 & Part 2.

Here's my January progress! Two games including their DLC expansions which is a first in a long time since I've decided to cover them. A spoiler for Game #3 but I am working my way through Alan Wake II. Sadly was not able to get the game done in time for January because of the DLC expansions but at least it's got the Platinum trophy covered!



#01 - Alan Wake Remastered (PlayStation 5)
Acquired: June 2023

The first game of the year is a revisit to a cult classic psychological thriller that came out back in 2010 for the Xbox 360. Developed by Remedy, the folks behind Max Payne and Control, Alan Wake was a very interesting and different experience with a concept that sounds like it came from a Kingdom Hearts game but placed in a Deadly Premonition/Twin Peaks style scenario.

A few years ago, Remedy remastered Alan Wake for modern platforms and in preparation for my playthroughs for both Control and Alan Wake II, I wanted to return to the world of Bright Falls with this new release. I played the original on Xbox 360 when it first came out and got all of the achievements including its two expansions; The Signal and The Writer, both continuing the story. For this revisit I also aimed to achieve all of the trophies which I managed to do and it was once again a really fun time going back to the game and seeing it with new improvements.

Looking back at comparison videos, there's a lot of changes applied to this remaster. The character models have been upgraded, with Alan Wake's look more consistent for Alan Wake II, and the gameplay is still as good as the original with better performance. The remaster presents the game at 4K resolution with 60 frames per second for the most part, as the cutscenes remain at 30 which I'm perfectly fine with to capture that cinematic look however there were a number of occasions where these segments are pretty choppy and stutter so it's possible the rendering wasn't perfect for the PS5 version. Outside of that, it's an otherwise really good remaster and holds up very well.

Alan Wake's gameplay is really interesting because of how it handles the situations Alan himself lands himself in. You need to use your flashlight to remove the shield that each Taken, the enemies of the game, have on them in order to be able to take them out with your weapons. This is a third-person shooter as well with no melee mechanics but you can ultilise flashguns, flash grenades and a flare to protect yourself in situations where you want to run away or feel overwhelmed by everything around you. The Taken are afraid of the light so its your job to make use of that to not only defeat them but to progress through the game. I love the choice you can make in combat to which you can decide if you wish to fight the Taken in the moment or run away to the next destination so that you can preserve the ammo and weapons for the next encounter.

Outside of Taken you also have poltergeist type enemies who will try to fling themselves onto you and you want to destroy them to avoid awkward scenarios where you could easily end up being trapped because running away doesn't always work in many situations. There are also birds who appear in flocks that want to dive into you just to be a pain. The Taken enemies in general have a distorted sound effect that sounds great to enhance their possessed voices and they say random stuff that can sound comical at times but fits with the character that they used to be.

The story for Alan Wake is divided into episodes to resemble a television series, with our main lead being a novelist inspired by many thriller book writers so there's references and tones that resemble other mediums including Twin Peaks that I had mentioned. The voice actor for Max Payne also makes an appearance which is a nice nod to those games. When you start the next episode you also get a recap of what happened in the previous episode, a great way to help those who took a break from playing the game.

Three difficulty modes are available; Easy, Normal and Nightmare. Now this I would argue is actually a typo. In the original Xbox 360 release, the difficulty modes were Normal, Hard and Nightmare and even the trophy list resembles that so what I did was play through the game on Normal mode which was actually Hard mode, followed by a new playthrough on Nightmare. The two modes are pretty much the same except Alan will take more damage and the enemies will take a bit longer to take down for both flashing the light against them but also shooting them. For newcomers you want to stick to Easy but if you played the original version, Normal mode is good.

In terms of flaws for the actual game, I do think some parts throughout have too much padding just to make the episode feel long but there are great moments throughout. The platforming is also not particularly great but thankfully it's only in small portions of the game, especially with The Writer expansion. Outside of that, as mentioned earlier, the technical issues with the cutscenes for the remaster did feel jarring.

Now let's talk briefly about the expansions; The Signal and The Writer. Both of these are fairly short, about an hour each, that continue the events of the previous game and while they do provide some more context, the ending overall is still a cliffhanger of sorts so I am curious to see how Alan Wake II addresses this.

Overall, Alan Wake Remastered is still a great time and had a blast revisiting the game after 15 years. Playtime was about 8-10 hours for the base game with collectibles and various trophies picked up, followed by 5-6 hours for a Nightmare playthrough and another 2-3 hours going through The Signal and The Writer with all of its trophies. I had to re-attempt The Writer numerous times to get that trophy where you need to complete the episode in one sitting without dying or restarting checkpoints because of the platforming content.

One more thing to mention is that the trophies have a few hiccups. One notable trophy is for Episode 5 where you need to survive a whole chapter without dying and while I achieved this first-time on Normal mode (Hard difficulty), I didn't get the trophy because I paused a few times. So when you attempt the game, don't pause and you should be fine.



#02 - Control Ultimate Edition (PlayStation 5)
Acquired: June 2023

Keeping the Remedy universe train going, the next game I ventured through is their third-person science fiction shooter Control which is one that I had heard very little of outside of knowing it had ties to Alan Wake.

Originally released for the eighth generation of consoles before being remastered for PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X, I picked up the physical version for PS5 at the same time as Alan Wake Remastered and wanted to revisit that gem before starting this, especially to be in the loop on the world's lore and it was worth the trip. Control is a very fascinating game in terms of both presentation and world-building.

This game is very sci-fi and is also unique with its aesthetic. The design of each layer of content is superb, with regular hallways to big facilities. The best way to describe the look and feel of this game is that it's basically a mix of Dredd and Half-Life together with Remedy's classic gameplay from their previous games, because you're basically in a building that's on lockdown but everything inside is like an experimental gone wrong with enemies of unknown origin spawning in with just your levitating abilities and a shapeshifting gun to fight them off.

Also pretty good were the character models. They went for a realistic look but holds up pretty well, though dialogue and expressions can look a bit odd from time to time. But the best part for me is how they manage to add in live-action content through the usage of lore sprinkled throughout the game. The game explains its story and context through TVs and projected imagery which were fantastic to watch and really engaging, adds another layer to the sci-fi style they were pursuing. I also really liked the cutscenes as they transition from one story mission to another.

The collectibles throughout the game also held value with really intriguing backstories and context for the employees of the Federal Bureau of Control, which is the game's location, and what they have been doing dealing with the supernatural and unknown entities, whether its an object that's possessed or bizarre beings that are trying to kill you. The side missions are optional but some had some interesting ideas, for example you encounter a person who has to stare at a possessed fridge otherwise it would kill them and another where you need to get rid of some deadly mold that tastes like sweets. But for the most part they are pretty much fetch-quests of sorts. There's also some timed alert missions which is just 'take out these group of people' within a time limit and they do appear even during story missions which can be annoying, but you don't need to worry about them.

The story starts off strong and paced pretty well, but as the story missions progress, it does land on a rather sudden end-point. It's like building up to something huge and it decides to simplify it at the last second. In fairness it's not as bad as it sounds because it does wrap up some key moments. The game's lore and concepts were so interesting that I wanted to know more about what was going on, and while the expansions The Foundation and Altered World Events added to that, there's still more that needs to be explored so the game doesn't have any form of proper closure, but thankfully Remedy did confirm Control 2 is in the works so that's a relief.

In terms of combat, this is a third-person shooter where your gun can shape-shift into different modes. It's basically like owning different weapons but they are combined together. You can wield two types of modes at once, and these include a shotgun type, a sniper type or even a grenade launcher of sorts. They can all be upgraded and have attachments to improve its performance. You can also add more abilities for your character to improve your survival during combat. This game doesn't have regenerative health so you'll need to pick up energy from downed enemies to recover, which works well but it's basically saying you shouldn't rush otherwise you will die a lot. You will eventually have levitation and telepathic abilities which is where the game starts to become more fun as you progress but it can be repetitive from time to time. Fortunately the combat felt fast-paced so it wasn't a massive issue for the most part.

In terms of enemy variety they all share the same design but do have different styles to make you run around more during combat and try out different approaches. For example there's enemies that will be in the air and shooting with certain weapons wouldn't work and telepathic abilities don't always land. There's also a random ball of energy that you can't kill but they don't appear often so it's not a major threat.

The difficulty is challenging but doable and you can make your way through the game without too much issue. It is recommended that you upgrade your abilities, weapons and add-on slots as you progress otherwise you will struggle. Especially considering the two expansions will pull all sorts of punches against you if you're not strong enough.

Now let's talk briefly about the expansions. The Foundation is a big area with some interesting ideas, though I felt the pacing was inconsistent with a fair amount of dragged out parts here and there. The new abilities were pretty cool but they only work in this new area. There's a cool retro moment which was neat and one side mission put the emphasis on darkness to a new level which was challenging. This takes place after the events of the main game and it still doesn't conclude the overall story.

Altered World Events is a very cool crossover with Remedy's Alan Wake. This does take place after the events of Alan Wake's expansions so there will be spoilers of that if you've not played that game before here (don't worry I won't talk spoilers here), but the general idea is that this expansion introduces darkness and an enemy that is deadly if you don't stay in the light. A lot of cool ideas and has a mini-game where you can fight hordes of enemies which is cool. This expansion sets up the events of Alan Wake II so I recommend playing this beforehand.

Control Ultimate Edition is a pretty solid package of interesting sci-fi concepts, great gameplay mechanics and intrigue to its lore and world-building. The main game took about 12 hours to complete its story and most of the side content, with an additional 4 hours each for the expansions. All of the trophies were picked up as they were manageable within the timeframe and the Platinum trophy. The reveal trailer was all I needed to get into this game and I recommend going into this pretty blind if I'm honest, adds more to the experience.
