While we here at Operation Rainfall love covering the latest in gaming news and sharing our reviews of titles new and classic, we also just enjoy playing games in our downtime. So with that, sit back, relax, and check out what the oprainfall gaming crew have been up to this week!
This week in gaming I continued to progress through Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. I’ve made it up to chapter 4 and I’m very curious to see who or what KeA actually is. Finding out about Lloyd’s brother would be very interesting to at this point. Hopefully I can finish this one up this week and get some answers.
I also started looking at the Nintendo Switch version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+. I can say so far the localization seems to flow better than the previous releases and the game runs really well on the Switch. I know it should since this started life as a Vita title, but with Switch ports you never really know til you dig into them. I hope to have a full review ready soon. -Steve
I honestly haven’t been doing a lot of gaming lately. I’ve been spending my free time watching random shows, badly attempting some art stuff and playing a tiny smidgen of games on the side. I always play a bit of mahjong every day on my phone via Mahjong Soul and Riichi City, but other than that, I’ve been very slowly making progress in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. I’m still pretty close to the beginning of the Shinagawa area. Also, this past weekend while I was away from home and only able to play my Switch undocked, I didn’t really want to play SMTVV. All the of the visual details are a bit small undocked. And thus, I actually ended up finally starting Sea of Stars which I’ve been sitting on for a long time now. I’ve been sitting on quite a few games actually, and as usual, I have now started yet another game I probably won’t completely play through and finish all at once. Nonetheless, I got into it and played for a few hours. I’m not too far into it yet, but I think I may potentially enjoy this game a bit more than Chained Echoes, the last big 16-bit indie RPG I played a chunk of. All of these indie RPGs inspired by famous games of the past, tend to have more tedious battles that start to wear on me pretty quickly. But at the moment, I definitely am enjoying Sea of Stars’ system a bit more. It’s not too overly complicated and while early battles are a bit challenging, it doesn’t feel like every single battle is a whole ordeal in itself. Though I have gotten stuck a few times and had to restart when these large ant looking things kept inviting their friends. But other than that, battles seem to be relatively reasonable and the atmosphere of the game is as charming as expected. – Jenae
