September 2021 Recap

Games Beaten

-SOL Divide (Switch)

I appreciate that Psikyo tried something different with SOL Divide, like the medieval fantasy setting and giving the characters a melee attack in addition to shooting, but it doesn't all come together in this side-scrolling shooter. The game has ugly prerendered 3D graphics, the levels are almost non-existent, and the enemies can be pretty cheap. Plus your character flies around oriented vertically, making you a huge target. It's technically competent—not buggy—but it's just not a very fun game to play.

Games Bought

Looks like the only game I got in September was Hitman 2 (PS4) from PS+, which it's actually been a while since I picked one of the free games. I've wanted to play the Hitman games literally since the old Hitman 2 came to the GameCube. I own multiple entries in the series at this point but have never found the time for it. *sigh*

Games Being Played

-Metroid Fusion (GBA)

Dread comes out this Friday, so I'm cutting my playthrough of Fusion pretty close. Not that the world will end if I have to push back Dread by a couple days...but darn it, I don't want to! I've been enjoying Fusion though.

-The Great Ace Attorney (Switch)

I just finished up the fourth case. One more to go! This game really impresses me in some respects and disappoints in others. Looking forward to seeing how it ends.

Great Ace Attorney characters

The characters are one of the high points.

-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)

Made it to Hunter Rank 5!

-Destiny 2 (PS4)

So far I have stayed on top of the weekly challenges for the current season and due in large part to that, I think, I've been enjoying Destiny more these last few weeks than I have for quite some time.

Are you on the fourth case of the first or second game in Ace Attorney?  I'm on the fifth case on the first game.  Those last cases tend to drag a bit. Still one of the better games I've played this year.

The first game. Just started the fifth case tonight. One of my issues with this game is its dearth of real villains so far. I'm hoping there's a good bad guy in this last case. Really enjoying the game on the whole though.

Just finished Great Ace Attorney, the second game doesn't disappoint! All the little mysteries that are teased in the first game will get answered in the second game, and the final case is INCREDIBLE! So stick with it, it's totally worth it.

Also, Metroid Dread so far is fantastic (I've only played a couple hours). Metroid is back!!!

I'm in the last case right now! ...though we haven't gotten to the HOUND part yet.

Metroid Dread is in my future! Hopefully later this week!

I like the art for those Ace Attorney characters. Reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles.

The animation is this Ace Attorney game is delightful! It's so fluid and full of personality.
