Hello all, I am Lord Spencer, a huge fan of gaming who likes to blog about it. I also used to be a vociferous reader, but life is getting in the way. Hope you enjoy reading my blogs and giving feedback, because I always try to improve my writing.
Here are the games I am currently playing. I am going to review those in bold once completed. The information in brackets is how long I have been playing the games and how close they are to the checkpoint that decides if I continue with them or not.
-Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening (Switch)
-Galerians (PS1)[2/3W, Pause]
-Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch)[2/4W]
-Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Switch)[0/4W, Pause]
-Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5)[0/5W, Pause]
I am still tired from my lack of sleep, but I think it started to get better last week. Today, I woke up at an acceptable time without an alarm clock (but I proceeded to sleep for one more hour though).
One thing that has been keeping my up at night is the stress of the political situation in the Middle East. I promised I am not writing about politics again, but I will have to vent about it sooner or later; just not this week.
Check out my latest PS1 Review of Wild Arms 2, an improved sequel to the early PS1 classic, albeit one with an infamously bad localization. Still, it is worth playing today.
Also, check out my blog where I ask Where the Hell is Wild Arms? A retrospective blog where I try to figure out why the Wild Arms series died, and explain why it would be great to have it back.
Finally, check out my weekly updates on the games I am playing now. The information in brackets is how long I have been playing the games and how close they are to the checkpoint that decides whether I continue with them.
-Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening (Switch): I finished a playthrough with the fictional "Zaitsu" clan where I managed to unify [conquer] all of Japan. I think this may be finally it and I will be free from the clutches of this game.
Now to wait for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII remake.
-Galerians (PS1) [2/3W, Pause]: This game is on hold due to my Nobunaga's Ambition addiction.
-Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch) [2/4W]: I am progressing smoothly through the game, finishing around 7 floors in the scary hotel. The gameplay loop and exploration are satisfying without ever being brilliant, but not everything needs to be so.
-Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Switch) [0/4W, Pause]: I should have started this game if not for Nobunaga's Ambition. I heard that it is a marked improvement over the first game, which I liked but didn't love, so I have high expectations this time around.
-Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS4/5) [0/5W, Pause]: This game is on hold due to my Nobunaga's Ambition addiction
-Upcoming Games in my Backlog in Uncertain Order: Various Games (PS1), Pokemon Sword (Switch), Part Time UFO (Switch), Resident Evil Village (PS5).
