Fun stats: only two games from Japan on my list this year, only one full-on AAA title (some might count Fire Emblem Warriors because of the launch price alone, I don't), one former early access game that was also on a previous year's list, at least 6 of these games are on Game Pass, only two console exclusives, and about half this list contains little or no combat
Shoutout to anyone else out there who played enough Eiyuden Rising to put it on a list of any kind
@dwerkmd: this plus if people actually watched the quick look they may have got to the point where Grubb says the game is very 3/5 and has problems. That's not exactly a box quote, if they were trying to put it over as a GOTY contender or something maybe then it'd be more of an issue
As for the actual game, it does look Breath of the Wild-y but also reminds me of PSO2 New Genesis, like I wouldn't be surprised if there's shared environmental stuff here from the NGS Aelio region. If there's two more biomes that just happen to be desert and snow I'll have a giggle
I paused this at like seven minutes in to go play The Beginner's Guide so thanks for that, it might've just sat on my backlog for another 5+ years otherwise
