Vote on the next long game for the Sunday slot (Patreon)

You probably noticed that I aired all of Yakuza: Like a Dragon as the lone video on Sundays. I've been kind of thinking about keeping that slot around? It seems like a decent fit for these kind of meandering, time-consuming playthroughs for sandbox games or games that have a lot of side content and minigames. I kinda think of them as "streaming" or "hangout" games.

On that them, up next is gonna be my return to Critter Cove, which Early Access supporters are of course already watching.

After that? Who knows, I've had a few ideas.

Lost Judgment

I've been weirdly committed to playing every single Yakuza game over the years ever since my playthrough of Yakuza 0 at launch. They're comfy games, but they're also super long and not actually that popular with my audience lol. We just finished Like a Dragon recently, although Early Access supporters had access to that playthrough a full year ago, so it's actually been a while since I last played one.

Next up is Lost Judgement! I played the first Judgement game when it came out, but was warned that Lost Judgment had spoilers for Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon, so it's been waiting here for me all along. This is the spinoff series where you play as a lawyer (who still gets in street fights all the time).

Hades 2

Yesterday I was at a video game orchestra concert and my boyfriend asked if I'd played Hades 2 when one of their songs was being performed. I said I was waiting for it to come out. He said it's been out for six months dummy! Whoops~!

Hades is a very polished action rogue-lite thing with a lot of narrative and progression elements to keep things interesting along the way. You already knew that though.

I guess it's been five years since my Hades 1 playthrough, wow. I'd probably once again go further than just beating the game once, but not go full completionist because that's insane. Last time there was like... a middle ending? I think it involved winning 10 times or something.

Stardew Valley - Furry Modded

Critter Cove did reaaaallly well when I first played it about a year and a half ago, so when that game was drying up I thought about how I might keep my momentum going. What if I finally played Stardew Valley, but with one of those furry mods that people have made? That could be fun.

And then I didn't do that, whoops.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

I still wanna know what happens in this game. The first one was so weird and interesting, but also kinda dumb, and also a long slow game about performing deliveries in an open world. So it's here!

Those are the games I thought of this time, anyway. You can vote for multiple games!
