Finished Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition, last couple of levels were pretty tough, needing very twitchy reflexes, but finally beat it!

Octopath Traveller is still not available to buy… so,

Bought and started Axiom Verge, the game is an obvious love letter to Metroid / Super Metroid, but it’s not a straight copy, the powers, weapons and level designs are it’s own, with many QoL updates and way more accessible for modern audience.

For instance there is a save point near every boss (don’t remember if Metroid had those), and if you die, you don’t lose any progress since last save, instead you go back to save location but keep all the progress.

No wonder the game is loved so much.

What about all of you? What have you been playing lately?

      How’s the game now? And what’s the state of in-game currency? I was waiting for the final “Free to play” release, but then they switched to paid game, which IMO is a good thing, assuming they handle the micro-transactions accordingly.

        There’s a separate charge for the in-game currency, but you can earn a bit of it freely in-game.

        Even without any of the in-game currency, there’s a ton of stuff in the game.
