Root Vegetable New Game+

I am easily consumed by games to my lack of life. I am a potato of the highest order. These last few weeks the consumption has been Hollow Knight and Silent Hill f. Yes, that’s right. I am a killer potato.

Skip the next two paragraphs if you don’t want to hear about Silent Hill f‘s features.

Silent Hill f has probably the best New Game+ idea since Chrono Trigger. Story elements from the first playthrough are added into NG+ cutscenes to expand upon the story during subsequent playthroughs. It’s amazing while not diminishing the first playthrough; the plot of which relies mostly on being a mystery.

It’s common in video games to find new cutscenes and items during a second playthrough. New bosses, too. What NeoBards, developers of Silent Hill f; should be proud of is adjusting the feel of the game from the opening NG+ cutscene. I’ve delved further into Silent Hill f – more than any previous Silent Hill because of this accomplishment.

Digimon Story Time Stranger saw release on October 3. I recently found out is there are bad girl Digimon with abs. I am unsure how to feel about this and may have to play the game to make sure such a thing has zero effect on me.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Physical Edition hits shelves October 13. Soon, Morrowind. Soon, Daggerfall. Then, Arena. For all systems. Until the end of time being ported like Doom to your coffee maker screen-

Oh hey Dragon Quest I&II HD-2D Remake sees a launch on October 30. The DQIII remake was great fun.

Pokemon Legends Z-A reverses the alphabet October 16. You can buy it for the Switch, or pay $10 more for a Switch 2 version with a graphical upgrade the Switch could honestly handle.

October 10 sees a re-release near and dear to my heart: Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga. I have an import release on the PSP as a gift from working on this very site, and had given up some years ago about a translation coming over due to the both the diminishing PSP market and Trails in the Sky Second Chapter‘s localization having a ton of issues due to its immense length. But Trails is super hawt now since the series bucks all the JRPG trends players are used to seeing, so we’re getting a ton of Trails stuff.

Three more re-releases see re-release in October:

Disgaea 7 Complete (Switch 2) – 10/10
Persona 3: Reload (Switch 2) – 10/23
Tales of Xillia Remastered – 10/31

Go forth and play.
