Xingqiu gets a Furina costume LOL.

Man, they weren't satisfied enough by putting boy Furina in Honkai already?

Mahjong Adventure DX (PS4)

I've played a lot of mahjong solitaire games but I've never seen one that hates the player this much. Still extremely easy to get gold medals on all levels. Either way it fulfilled its purpose as a trophy streak extender during my vacation.

Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir (Switch)

It was nice to have a remake of this game and have it finally localized into English, but after playing it, it feels like they made it too close to the original game. The game constantly has you going through a number of menus just to find the correct order of how to proceed - sometimes you have to choose the same option two or even more times just to keep going, without any reason pointed out to actually do so. It got frustrating enough that I eventually just pulled up a guide multiple times just to find out what to do. I feel like it would be easy to put together a similar dialogue system like Ace Attorney instead of sticking with the NES dialogue and stuffing the menus with several options that provide nothing.

The story isn't that impressive either. I guessed at who the culprit was an hour into the game and was correct, which made the entire story completely predictable. There's a lot of loose ends with a number of the characters who survived, and I assume most of them will go unresolved as the second game is supposed to be a prequel to this one. I will play the second game at some point, but I'll lower my expectations a bit while playing through it.

Yakuza 4 (PS4)

A solid Yakuza title. The gameplay is much improved from 3 even with the multiple protagonist system - I enjoyed playing with Akiyama, Tanimura, and Kiryu, but not so much with Saejima. The story, besides the callbacks to 1/Kiwami, is complete nonsense. Rubber bullets is a Yakuza meme because of this game, and the villain shooting someone after being defeated is a trope that really is overused here, more than other Yakuza titles. Luckily, the story is only about 15-20 hours long and you can spend your time doing the usual Yakuza activities instead.

Picross e4 (3DS)

Another picross title. This one has an additional 15 Mega Picross puzzles that only unlock if you have data from the previous three games in the series. I completed those as well as the other 150 + Micross puzzles.

A Space for the Unbound is my favorite indie game this year and I highly recommend it.

I would also recommend Light Fairytale but given your comments on Kentucky Route Zero and Deltarune maybe I'll just recommend it again when the story is finished

A Space for the Unbound

28/50

A Space for the Unbound (PS5)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80617057

A Space for the Unbound is an excellent trip back to 90s Indonesia, circling around two teenagers who decide to make a bucket list of things to do together. This is the backdrop of the whole story - some of the objectives are optional, but are required for the platinum and the true ending of the game. The story went through some surprising twists with the main character Atma's Spacedive powers - I especially enjoyed the Ace Attorney-like scenes where you break down a defendant's testimony by pointing out contradictions through evidence. Sadly that's only in one of the game's chapters, but it was a cool addition. Also never thought bitter melon would ever be referenced in a game, seeing as I had some just last week!

I finished Chapter 3 when I got home today, and then went all the way to the end - mostly because I wanted to see how this story concluded, and I was not disappointed. Definitely one of the better games of 2023, and definitely deserves a spot near the top of my list, whenever I get back to writing those!

Alan Wake Remastered (PS4)

Technically a replay, but I never did go back to the PC version after finishing it the first time to grab all the collectibles (of which I missed two on this run, one manuscript page and one can pyramid). I also didn't do the DLC back then, so I will continue playing this to do those two DLCs before moving on to Control. It was a good refresher of some of the story beats that I had forgotten since I last played this almost a decade ago.
