Yeah, I get that. There are lots of games I didn't enjoy that are popular or highly rated. 

I saw that first book and it really interested me because I used to be way into the Ring Cycle/Story of the Nibelung stuff in high school. 

I'm so glad Dragon Quest remakes are appearing finally. I was happy when Final Fantasy did it, but DQ is my more favorite series. 

Reader #3 here. Of course, there might be lurkers. Can't count them out . . well . . . can't really count them now I think of it unless there was a views count on this site, which there isn't. 

So glad the park is busy with improvements! Long live the Park system!

I'll have to add Tom Holt to the Terry Pratchett I want to read - both doing comic fantasy I somehow missed in the 80s and should love. 

DQIII! My plans haven't allowed me to get to that yet, but I am doing a turn-based RPG theme for May, and maybe I can pencil it in. 

Well, if I ever get Netflix again. . . It's really disappointing when things only come to streaming services. I need a DVD to play. I got one subscription right now and it's Nintendo. 

Yeah, NG is hard. I respect the series a lot for those controls, but the only one I could get into was Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, which was more of a humor game and maybe not even part of the series, just had NG in its title. 

I'd love to play Magic Sword etc. . . in the arcades. If I ever get up to Funspot, I'm sure they'll have one I can play. 

Yeah, it's has a totally budget game feel - - right along the lines of Lollipop Chainsaw. 

I've been keeping some easy, light games as my emergency backup for when the hard games get me down. Hello Kitty Island Adventures looks like it might fill that spot. 

That's pretty darn good. 

I think I got it for $10 or something close to that. I love getting cheap games that turn out to be fun. 

And I added more. I like a long list for when I go shopping because then I can at least find something cheap to get. 

I almost got the original NES cart of A Boy and His Blob the other day, but I saw there's an aBaHB: Retro Collection with the original and remake for a very reasonable price, so I think I'll get that soon. 

I have the remake on my wish list but I didn't know about the collection. I'll have to look it up when I hook up the Switch again this month. 

It can get a little burdensome at times, but I enjoy it too much. 

So many games I love to look at but which are just so demanding. I am trying to push through the difficult stuff more and more, but I don't know how some people persist with these games. 

Bramble reminds me of Little Nightmares a bit, a game which frustrated me in a similar way to you with Bramble. I love those graphics -- no indication of gore in the trailer though -- it sounds like a punishing game later on and grim. I think stealth gameplay frustrates me more than anything else.
