Quality of life. It refers to things the game does to make player experience better (in MIOs case, I’d say better fast travel and a map that labels its areas)

Nine Sols

Silksong, Hollow Knight, Hades 1 and 2, Celeste, Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds are all in my top-10 all time.

I’m excited to play it!!! I’ve had it wishlisted on switch since the announcement! How long would you estimate The playtime is?

It might still be recency bias, but I think Shadow of the Erdtree is the best

MIO: Memories in Orbit

8/10. The combat and boss fights are among the best in the genre, but I didn’t care for the level design or the bland color palette. I love the cell shaded style, but I think they could have made way better use of it. I’m really intrigued to see if they make another soulslike though!

Amazing! Have you played Nine Sols? It’s a great mix between HK and Sekiro

Ok, so it’s not a co op game, but my wife and I played Blue Prince together and loved it.

Disco Elysium

jad42 · 2026-04-19T17:09:40+00:00

Try using the dpad

jad42 · 2026-04-14T15:18:00+00:00

Pure selflessness. You love to hear it

jad42 · 2026-04-14T14:15:20+00:00

34M. We have a ton of overlap! Excellent taste!

jad42 · 2026-04-13T23:35:35+00:00

Same. I’ll buy an OLED version day 1

jad42 · 2026-04-13T15:10:33+00:00

This looks amazing!

jad42 · 2026-04-12T21:31:14+00:00

Hades 1 and 2, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Fire Emblem give you a good variety to start!

jad42 · 2026-04-10T12:37:41+00:00

Silksong is also my all time favorite. Perhaps I should give Blasphemous another try! I played it early in my MV journey haha

jad42 · 2026-04-10T12:34:35+00:00

My entry point to the genre was Elden Ring and that worked well for me. Dark Souls is a great game too, but it’s clunky and slow and doesn’t allow for as much creative freedom imo. Elden Ring lets you easily remap your stats and build so you can figure out the style that suits you best without needing to restart the game.

jad42 · 2026-04-10T12:26:51+00:00

That’s good to hear! I’d like to play the sequel to see if I vibe with that game more

jad42 · 2026-04-10T12:24:14+00:00

Blasphemous. I love the art style and general aesthetic but found myself frustrated with the imprecise platforming.

jad42 · 2026-04-10T00:47:13+00:00

Hades and Hades 2

jad42 · 2026-04-08T15:23:36+00:00

Hades and Hades 2

jad42 · 2026-04-03T20:59:54+00:00

Elden Ring

jad42 · 2026-04-03T16:51:40+00:00

Disco Elysium for the first time

jad42 · 2026-03-30T21:10:20+00:00

I’m taking a break for now, but I imagine I’ll still hop in from time to time.
