Honestly, I forgot September was ending and did a lot more than I thought. - So thoughts below.

Samurai Jack: Always was a fan and had been told this game was the official ending after season 5 had come out. So I was convinced to play through it. The game itself is mediocre at best but I at least got to conclude a small part of my childhood.

Guilty Gear Stive: A very weird choice to just have the story be played out as a movie with no gameplay at all. - The characters were fun but compared with other fighting games, it felt lacking in the flashy finisher department. Also mediocre at best.

WWE2K25: Graphics have come a long way since I last played a wrestling game and even without a hud for most of the gameplay, I felt the controls were fairly intuitive. The wrestlers themselves look great and this was surprisingly fun.

Wuchang: A great game if you are a souls like fan. Hell for me with how lost I was getting without a compass or hud. - Notably, like many who probably only really play through a game once, the ending was very disapointing. Like I understand the point of it but if someone gave you a hotdog and shat in the last bite, I don't think I'd be encouraged to eat more.

Ninja Gaiden 2 Black: Hard as they ever were, surprisingly fun and with that arcady feel still in tact. I could never really figure out the wall running but the girls made up for the struggles.

Marval Rivals: We got a new season and a new tank, finally. I don't know what the devs were thinking giving us a season of double DPS but hopefully we get a few more for the Vanguards and Supports in future too.

Eternal Strands: Yuck, simply vile is all I have to think. I had to force my way through this one. Delivering cutscenes through visual novel style cutaways like a singular dev could do with renpy, and funneling you through quest fetch after quest fetch and giving players a compass on a cool down. The mechanics were more frustrating than anything else. I'd avoid this one.

Fallout 4: Fun as always and with more mods than leaves on a tree, I probably spent more time making sure everything worked than actually playing the game. - There is a lot people can do now that I could not remember being possible a few years back. I'd recommend it to anyone feeling that itch for a bethesda adventure again.

Lastly: Holy shit, I did even realise how much I put out this month. That being said Horizon is currently in production. - I believe someone requested a small game after that. Then I am unsure. Suggestions are welcome. Still have a few games on the backlog like Dragon's Dogma 2 to get at as well. I will also likely be archiving Spider-man and Tomb Raider series by the end of the month.

Until next update,
