Reflecting on Games I Want to Play

I can’t believe it is September already. Last year, I made some goals. I reached them. Now, obstacles and challenges await me, which explains my lack of activity on this blog. I did manage to make a list of games I wanted to play now that I’m mentally recharged. It is so much fun putting this blog together! It’s like catching up with an old friend. Stepping away from video games for several months has revived my passion for games. So, I’d advise you to do the same if burnt out. Sometimes, all we need is a nice break.

Between the two games, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and Tales of Symphonia, I chose the latter. Why? The conversation in the game is humorous, and I feel like accompanying the Chosen One rather than recruiting heroes to go to war!

Meanwhile, I still need to get through some horror games I bought last year. One of them is Tormented Soul, which I have a hard time playing. It’s not because it’s difficult, but because the atmosphere is too sexual and smothering. I should have done more research instead of just buying it on a whim. Clearly, the game was intended for male demographic.

Put makeup first because the next scene is Rated R.

Toward the end of last year, I did mention in one of my blog posts that horror games burned me out, and perhaps that explained why I was critical of Tales of the Black Forest review. I don’t play enough RPG-maker games to give it a fair assessment, and I am not sure if the style appeals to me either. I do hope I can get back into the spooky groove for fall and play some quality horror games. Right now, I have my eyes on the following games:

In addition to my growing collection of horror games, I still need to play Remothered: Broken Porcelain, Songs of Horror, and Resident Resident Evil 7. Writing down my thoughts about the horror game I am playing might be a therapeutic exercise (I know it sounds counter intuitive). Last year, I wrote a review for Soma as part of the Halloween holiday tradition here.

Despite my rambling of horror games, the game I am enjoying the most (apart from Tales of Symphonia) is an indie puzzle game called Teslagrad Remastered. I randomly picked it up during Steam’s Labor Day sale. It was a pleasant surprise on how much I like it because I normally don’t play platformer games.

Well, I hope you found something fun to play as well. With so many forms of entertainment, it’s hard to get bored. You just have to be in the right mental state to enjoy them.
