Alright back to shill some games that I really have taken a liking to. One Hentai VN, two Action Games, and a Nintendo game series that often gets overlooked. No it's not Splatoon but it's close.
A.Wo Long Fallen Dynasty- If you liked Stranger Of Paradise or Sekiro you will like this game and vice-a-versa. In all honesty I tried Nioh and could not get into it due to it's slow nature and it kind of being less aggressive even the 2nd game while better did not fit my style of aggressive and defense play. But Wo-Long does, I would tell everyone the reason for the mixed reviews on Steam is because everyone played the demo and had issues with the 1st boss that was then patched to be much easier to deal with in the final game. The Demo is not the real representation of the game because the 1st boss has been nerfed. It does not deserve to be a mixed rating at all, it had it's issues on launch but it's fixed now, I have had an amazing time playing the complete edition on a massive discount. The performance issues are RARE and it's really well done on being rewarding for parrying and attacking alongside the Weapon Skill Tree, and using magic spells that feels reminiscent of Stranger Of Paradise and also the dodging/parrying does as well. It really deserves more attention. It's not about sneaking or stealth killing, as much as it is, being able to deflect and hit, and use weapons to your advantage. I would recommend this more to Fromsoft and newer fans of Koei Tecmo than that of Nioh honestly due to enemies being more fair. Nioh I kept getting killed by Arrow Archers and it did not feel as satisfying to me.
I also will give some tips here to make everyones lives easier.
1.Block + Use Spells when you unlock it in the 2nd chapter(This is similar to Stranger Of Paradise to use your skills and then go after your opponent)
2. Begin using O when it flashes Blue as a Visual Cue or just as it's about to hit you, blocking does help build up your courage and lowers your enemies courage making them easier to finish off.
3. Look around the map and try to get all flags on the map to level up your fortitude and REST before going to face the big boss(Can avoid the level 15 Wolf in the tutorial level). It will make your life a lot easier. As the Flags will help your fortitude and having the big flag will use this as a checkpoint and resting point. Flags do help your courage meter.
B. Sekiro- Last Fromsoft game I have ever played was Armored Core 6 and I can say that Fromsoft game's are very fair and definitely are not hard at all once you get the basics down. I feel like with Sekiro the Parry, Block and even the Attack and using a Finishing move was way intuitive than usual and it does feel like an evolution of Tenchu as a whole. It really feels satisfying to play this like I am able to do swift kills in the sky, kill orcs and various powerful enemies by stealth killing them before i encounter the rest of the enemies in the game. Honestly this game makes me believe Fromsoft has game design down to where anyone can learn their games and as long as they like the style of Gameplay they will have fun with it. Sekiro is this for me, it's based on Stealth, Aggressiveness and very much taking advantage of lowering the spiritual meter on your opponent through good usage of the mechanics given to you. It's not one where you can be entirely aggressive like Wo-Long, but it's not slow either, definitely quicker than previous Fromsoft games, but slightly behind Wo-Long. If you like Wo-Long you will like this, and if you like Sekiro you will like Wo-Long because it's much more aggressive and less on stealth but on deflecting.
C. Pikmin 3 and 4. Yes I am going to recommend these games because I know many who were like me and played Pikmin 1 and 2 but felt they were too hard and not explained well or they did not feel like there was much in them. I can say after beating 3 and 4 that these games are worth your time if you like Real Time Pikmin Building and management, or if you like the Pikmin 3 demo you will like the full game. Pikmin 3 feels like a soft reboot of the Pikmin series making it easier for newcomers and those who were put off by the Pikmin 1 and 2 entries. While 4 builds off of 3 and basically combined aspects of 1 and 2. There is no timers anymore on 4, and on 3 it's very easy to beat the game in 30 days as when you go underground time moves slower and there is less levels to play with. On 4 there is so much to do Post-Game and even challenges that it basically feels like Nintendo had too much fun and added over 40 to 50 hours worth of content, while the main game can be beaten in 15-20 hours easily.
I would recommend Pikmin 3 and 4. I definitely feel confident about Pikmin's future after beating both.
D. Namaiki- A really well written Hentai VN by WAFFLE infamous for Funbag Fantasy(which has good writing and an actual world will need to read this in the future) and it's not just about the sex it has some story elements and reasons for things happening, but also has fun sex scenes that are not plain at all and are really nice to read as a whole with Magic and the Fantasy of Dark Elf Ladies. You have the Muscular Tomboy in Sheila, the Mature and Sexy Daino, the cute petite small loli Idol in Supra. I would give a recommend if anyone likes Fantasy VN Hentai with Dark Elves as a theme. It really is nice artwork and VA with every scene almost. The VN is about 8-12 hours long and it's linear but it's a fun time all around with some sweet music and scenarios.
That is all I have for now. I am going to be playing more Action Games, more VN's and see what else I can recommend out here for gems. But please try them out if you like what I wrote.
