Did I just hear Digital Devil Saga praise? That duology needs a remaster yesterday. It's absolutely brilliant and I miss playing it. Also, the DDS2 normal battle theme pops off so hard.
I think it is more fluid in gameplay and switch from melee to ranged. I'm having a blast with the combat system, a good comprasion would be the modern AC RPG's but a lot more fast paced and flashier.
Ok i think i played enough to get the sense of things for now and i'm gonna say the game probably will fall for me somewhere between 7-8. It was obvious that Dragon Age wasn't that this bleak, Dark RPG the first two games were back in the Inquisition era, so the tonal shift from those times didn't surprise me because that was already established surely nn?
Other than that, the dialogues so far are a bit on the simpler side so far but it is definitely not the worst dialogue i have ever seen. I'm guessing (with the amount of exposition also) this is all for the people whose first game will be this so they can have easier time to understand and place things, events and/or characters of the universe. So i'm hoping things will pick up even more.
Companions are ... exactly what they were in Inquisition dd? Once again, i saw this game being like this coming so i don't know how people are acting brand new when Bioware ditched the C-RPG elements and serious, dark RPG themes right after... the first game? Granted i would prefer to have that over what this game brings, but also like let's be real, this is what the franchise is at the moment and they have done good to great things so far, and Veilguard is playing along fine so far with Inquisiton.
I also honestly appreciate the trimming to the open world and to the endless fetch quests in Inquisiton. The map so far is gorgeous, and i covered enough ground to feel satisfied about the exploration. I even saw some posts on glorifying Hinterlands which we all remember surely, right?
Some nitpicks i guess
That Harding cutscene was so unserious dd
"Don't worry brother, i will replace the dagger with..... ....RED LYRIUM." dd All that was missing was the "DUNDUNDUN" music
If anybody here likes adventure games, I have to recommend Road 96. It's a bit Life is Strange goes roguelike. Fascinating story to unravel, and it manages to be both cozy and creepy at the same time.
I often times imagine having my memories of playing the Persona games taken away, especially 5 Royal, so I could experience them brand new all over again. Good thing this game (Metaphor) will give me a similar rush.

Is the first Alan Wake good? I've read great reviews about the second one and I know I have to play the first chapter to get the full story but I fear it might be a bit meh to play considering it's such an old game, so I don't know if I should just watch a recap on Youtube.

The original is a bit convoluted but it's got great atmosphere. Small foggy town near the mountains mmm yes!! I even kind of liked the DLC (spin-off? sequel?) despite it tonally deviating from the original because the fast pace shooting was fun. That, and I remember it being even a bit subversive at points, character-wise
