![]() I didn’t have a SNES or PlayStation so X was actually the first time I had a platform to play one on. I’ve never really got on with the series the only one I ever completed was X, back when it was new, though I made a valiant effort with XV. It might finally be happening: I might be Final Fantasy pilled. There are even some really novel puzzles that are super cool to figure out! I recommend it to anyone that played the Witness! Despite showing little mercy for its source material’s aesthetics, it’s clear the developer understands what made the puzzles work so well in the Witness. It takes 45 min - 1 hr to complete, and has some pretty great gags, especially towards the end. The most recent game I played was The Looker, a great parody of The Witness that’s free on Steam. The tank controls are even smoother and more intuitive in this entry! It makes me want to go back and play a bunch of these games to see if that’s a Team Silent think or if tank controls just rule! The music and sound design is excellent, clearing the high bar that SH1 set with ease. That’s a feat when the world is so sparse compared to current games. The visual noise, thick fog and excellent texture work make the world feel detailed and lived in. ![]() I played on original hardware, and it still looks excellent to this day. I also revisited Silent Hill 2, which unsurprisingly is still my favorite game of all time! The game is excellent from start to finish. It’s surprising that more games didn’t steal that! The themes around self-sacrifice are well considered as well. Playing as a character who isn’t the protagonist of the story is really interesting! It allows the story to get off to a relatively fast start without exposition dumps, because your character doesn’t really need to know the whos and whys yet. It’s easy to figure out what’s happening, even when Tidus, the lovable himbo he is, isn’t catching on. It’s been a while since I posted in this thread, and I’ve played a bunch since then! I played Final Fantasy X, which I loved! I clicked with the combat in a way that I couldn’t ever really do with the older FF games I’d played, which was great! I didn’t even turn on the cheats until I got to the very end where it was clear they expected me to grind (no effing way!) The story was great! I think the big “twist” was handled really well.
