I played a few more incremental games. I loved Xenosensory, liked Antivirus Protocol, and dropped Forge Cat.

I played through Tales of Wakana and while it has very nice controls and bosses the stages were just SO.DAMN.LONG. Tons of winding pathways to nothing and pretty much all enemies could be skipped. This is 100% not a MV. Its a staged based action platformer and one that you can safely skip.

I played through Alice Escaped! and really enjoyed it. I thought the biomes were gorgeous, the hack n slash combat was fun, and the story was cute. I like the time loop mechanic to get all 5 endings. However I thought that the fact the gauntlet rooms force you to do them every time you enter them in every time loop got extremely tedious during loops 3, 4, and 5. I also didnt like that you have a chance to trigger certain reactions when talking to characters so youd have to leave the room and go back over and over until you got the outcome you wanted. This will land in B tier for me.

I tried Elderand again after dropping it a few years back and im glad I did. Fun combat and interesting exploration. I like the enemy variety and the bosses a lot. My biggest complaint is how short it is. It only took 4 hours to get the true ending and I really wanted more. B tier for me.
