  • Started Starfield of course and have been really enjoying it. I love the RPG elements already and it’s been a long time since I really catered a character to my liking rather than just taking the default. It’s giving me the same awe I had when I first played Mass Effect over 15 years ago (though I’m not sure if anything can beat that experience especially when you go to the Citadel). Action is fun and I like the three different POVs you can pick. Only complaint is the HDR seems a bit off where things look a bit greyish especially in the opening period.

    Outside of Starfield, I’ve been playing Limbo again seeing it on GamePass. Never finished it when I was playing it on Android so finally going to give a chance to it now.






  • I love both games as well. But even though they’re both considered metroidvanias, they’re fundamentally different games and preference really depends on what you’re looking for.

    The death mechanic on Ori is a lot more forgiving as checkpoints are frequent and there’s no tracking back to get your souls back. Hollow Knight is brutal and far more of a challenge. Hollow Knights combat also feels “tighter” and more satisfying than Ori. However, Ori imo has a better story , music, and graphics. The traversal in Ori is a lot more smoother and enjoyable than HN, I find myself mindlessly cruising through the entire world (similar to how I feel swinging through Spiderman).
