And that's September. Don't have much to say about this month, really. Some potentially bad life stuff ended up working itself out so I can relax a little, and that's nice. I played through a number of video games, but I didn't do a whole lot else, so it was all kind of business-as-usual, really.
I've mentioned the game a couple times now, but I spent a lot of time playing through the rest of Assassin's Creed: Shadows this month. The main reason I ran through this was because I wanted to be done with it before Ghost of Yotei comes out, as I don't really want to be in the middle of two very similar games at the same time. I have some thoughts about Shadows, but I think it might be fun to wait to write something comparing the two games once I've played both.
I also played through a good chunk of Pokemon X (not to be confused with
the abandoned webcomic of the same name). I wanted to see these original games' Lumiose City and Kalos region before Z-A comes out next month, as I skipped this generation back when it initially released. I mostly enjoyed it? It's taking me a while because playing through this reminds me why I fell off of Pokemon games in the first place. The formula is, well, formulaic and sort of samey, and I've already played so darn many of these that I started to get tired of the repetition. I still like Pokemon, but I think playing through this has made me remember just why the first Legends game was such a breath of fresh air. Here's hoping that new one's good!
The
Horror Trek returns! Well, sort of. There's a new Silent Hill game out and I'm playing it! It seems real good! Outside of the fact it's the first "full-sized" Silent Hill game we've gotten since Downpour way back in 2012 (if you don't count last year's SH2 remake), I've been incredibly curious about this due to Ryukishi07's involvement. I'll have much more to say about this after I've completed running through it but just know, for now at least, that I'm really enjoying my time with it.
I continued my Yakuza series runthrough by finishing
Dead Souls. It was... okay. It's definitely the weakest Yakuza game but it was fun getting to be able to play as some returning characters since it kept up Yakuza 4's multiple-protagonists gimmick. I followed that up with a game that is very clearly
not a Yakuza game:
Binary Domain. It was a PS3-era sci-fi third-person-shooter made by the Yakuza studio and it was, also, just kind of alright. It played much better than Dead Souls, but the conclusion I came to was that a fairly-competent third-person-shooter might honestly be less interesting to me than even the worst Yakuza game.
