Hey everyone! I have no power in here, have not checked if anyone has started one of these but I feel like being the change I want to see in the world.
So! What are you playing this week?
I just started off Claire Obscure Expedition 33, and at the same time, have been getting my girlfriend to slowly wean off of Guilty Gear Strive and try out older fighter games like Guilty Gear XX and a more recent one, BlazBlueCrossTag (both to great success)
Also still haven’t beat the first major boss of Nightreign, not looking forward to the trashtalk from friends after the nerf because they did it first
I’ve been playing Blue Prince. It’s fun.
Mixed bag for me. Love the puzzle aspects. Hate the roguelike elements. A lot of the puzzles relying on lucky draws makes testing theories for the more complex things a PitA.
Oh look, another day where I barely ever even got rooms that had more than one door, and now that my winding path has hit a dead end all my resources are useless. Next day I guess.
Just wait till you find out about the puzzles that require certain rooms to spawn in certain places so you can get the chance to spawn a special room from that room.
Or that some rooms being drafted in certain squares will be changed with key puzzle information now visible.
I loved Blue Prince. It’s still putting up a good fight for my personal GOTY despite having just finished and loved Clair Obscur.
Play it, take notes, enjoy it. Games like it don’t come along often.
I’m working on the letter puzzle related to the pictures right now. Definitely couldn’t remember that without writing it down.
Fun! Keeping a notebook is like half the fun of Blue Prince, at least it was for me. Same with Obra Dinn. I ended up with like 50 pages of notes for Blue Prince, as well as hundreds of screenshots.
Screenshotting the clues you find definitely helps piece it all together.
Blue prince is a DEEP HOLE. Just solved my fourth sigil. It is really relaxing to go in play one day, put it down for a couple of days ruminating on what you learned, then pick it back up and play 2 more days.
Oh god, what sigils? I don’t think I’ve even gotten to that yet. I’ve opened up the side yard and the mine, and got 3 of the 4 torches lit. There are so many puzzles! I think it’s better to know nothing, though, and discover it along the way.
Absolutely better to not know and discover on your own. Just understand, nothing is irrelevant when it comes to information.
Also, fuck the gallery, you’re better off looking up the answer when you get that room.
Ill just say the following… Its not over once you get to room 46.
