What games are y’all playing? Suggestions/Reviews/Thoughts? Hyped up for anything and want to share? I’ve been devouring Dragon Quest XI and Little Witch Nobeta, needed an RPG fix badly! DQ actually greatly benefits from whatever graphic engine they are using, the cartoony style for Toriyama design is great (although he keeps reusing the same faces/archetypes for everything). Nobeta actually harder than dark souls for me, I can’t parry to save my life and am still stuck at the second boss. Also picked up SinOAlice because why not, peeps are still in quarantine here anyway.
Also, can we get a Vidya tag, please?
I'd love to dive into PoE but as you say, I'm one of those people -- no Tencent if I can help it.
It really is a good game. Fwiw GGG has stated that Tencent doesn’t interfere in any way with development of the international version and only includes “requests” about features for the China only version.
Just gameplay-wise, it's an excellent ARPG, and you can get enough out of it completely free to decide if you want to carry on with it.
