What's everyone currently playing?

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice.

Great addition to the series, so far it's really good (playing the third case).

Just finished playing Recore. Might start playing Tomb Raider or Sleeping Dogs soon.

Remember how on the BCB I said I should play Portrait of Ruin again? I found my DS and I'm playing Portrait of Ruin again.

God Eater 2 Rage Burst
Logged in for 90 hours, and I only finished half of the game
I really want to be able to do the bullet editing

Been playing Trials of Cold Steel: II. I like it but it does feel more difficult than the first one. It's funny, it feels like the game is both longer and shorter than the first one. Can't say why (spoilers and all) but that is what it feels like.

But, damn the reviews of Cold Steel and Cold Steel II are hard to read, the ones done by "professionals." Not gonna lie, the level of blowhard is wind tunnel level.

Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits

Loving it so far.

Just finished beating XCOM 2 on Commander/Ironman. Not sure what game I'll pick up next. Probably something less intense. Maybe I'll just pick up alligator wrestling instead...

Finished Earthbound (again) a little while ago, someone recommended me UnderTale and it's been amazing so far!

I picked up Gunvolt on Wednesday (after gamestop stonewalled sending to me for two weeks THANKS GAMESTOP) and wowwww I didn't think the first one would be as good as I thought it would be. I kind of picked up the dual pack because I felt like it would be a good deal but Gunvolt is an absolute slam dunk of an action game and that the developers are working on Bloodstained gives me a rock-solid belief that Bloodstained will be amazing.

Gunvolt's gameplay focuses entirely on the tagging enemies and activating your Flashfield to shock them, and that alone makes for interesting combat situations, putting the emphasis on not directly shooting enemies it puts more of a focus on avoiding damage and dodging. You get neat rewards for doing so, so dodging attacks feels good on multiple levels of gameplay. The Flashfield slowing your fall to extend jumps but having the downside of making you easier to get hit mid-fight is brilliant, the game really forces you to get a handle on when to use the Flashfield and when to power down.

Gunvolt also gets a quadrillion bonus points for not forcing me to dash everywhere like Mega Man X does and just binding a toggled run to the L-button. Ideally, Gunvolt would break out into a run after a moment of running or dashing once would put him into top speed, but I guess certain situations could get tricky or something.

The boss battles kick ass, every enemy has like a dozen attacks and you can interact with a lot of them in interesting ways - Viper's gunshots leaving behind explosions for you to bump into if it touches the Flashfield is a great example - and the special attacks in particular are really fun to figure out.

My only complaint is that things can get a bit too frantic - still fine, I think the crushing difficulty is a perfect fit - but if you play with the Japanese voices on, the admirable attempts at translating everything via way of subtitles can cover up the edges of the screen that I really would have liked to see during certain fights.

10/10, Gunvolt is a game entirely built upon rock-solid gameplay and design that doesn't overstay its welcome and presents enough interesting situations with its core mechanic that I can replay a lot of the game's situations and boss fights in my head to a T.
