Outer Wilds slightly pushes past Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

It's not from the first half of the year, but Dragon Quest Builders 2 is giving those two a lot of competition. As always I'll think back on everything at the end of the year but at this point, Outer Wilds all the way.

This has probably been done before but...I decided to adapt Sen’s Fortress from Dark Souls.

BowSen’s Fortress: WC4 7FT 6RG

Okay, this is the first time I've made a level. I was going to go for something a bit more high concept but thought it best to get used to everything first.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a personal favourite JRPG of mine but it takes a lot of investment, especially in learning the combat system. For me though, it was extremely rewarding and the story gets really good.

I enjoyed Octopath quite a bit but it didn't really stick.

Of course, for me personally Dragon Quest XI is basically the ultimate classic JRPG. I think it's fantastic and if the Switch port is good, then it's well worth the investment.

Yeah this, the fact you can't gift games on the PS4 store is pretty annoying.

I'm getting it for Xbox One X, I'm hoping that will be the best console version.

As for where I am on it, treading lightly the setting isn't something that I gravitate towards in games but I'm open to it. I also have to relearn how to play one of these games, but I did that with Bloodborne and found that to be the easiest Souls game I've played (though I never played the DLC). Either way, there is a unique itch in me that From games have a habit of scratching, even if I'm not big on them (Dark Souls 3) so I'm hoping this will continue that trend.

It's actually funny because after Bloodborne I was sure I'd never need a shield again but then DS3 came along and I was straight back to Sword and Board., there will likely be a feeling out process here.

I'm also interested to see if they've solved the puzzle boss with the giant snake. It makes a great impression in the trailers but these super huge puzzle bosses have never really worked in these games except for maybe the Storm King in Demon's Souls and I have a soft spot for Ceaseless Discharge.

@captain_insano: Yeah, the reason I said what I said is because my brother and I always struggled with Golden Axe when we first got it. Fast forward a couple of years and a lot of Streets of Rage/Streets of Rage 2 runs and experience, we decided to play it again and breezed through it.

Also, there is a football/soccer pitch in the trailer. Now I'm not saying there needs to be an Inazuma Eleven style mini game where you assemble a team of Pokemon to play...but there totally should be.

Probably going to buy this one and I haven't played a Pokémon game since Gold. The reason is because it's on Switch and I can play it alongside my girlfriend (who's a huge fan) playing it which should be fun. Of course, she's already told me that if I am getting it, I'm getting shield.

I probably think I do.

I tend not to play games if impaired in any way but back in the day I used to hang out with friends, drink and play games, but I mean, we were all drunk anyway so skill level was the same for everyone.
