I'm gonna start a weekly Sunday evening thread where we all talk about what we've been playing the past week.

I have been doing a replay of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. It's one of my favorite games and I was surprised how much muscle memory Ive retained for most of the major boss fights.

I just finished Ys VIII and Katana Zero.

Ys was very good, even if they upped the anime cringe compared to 2003-2007 Falcom games, it still had the best gameplay loop in the series. Searching for castaways and seeing your village grow in a deserted island while spamming your flashy animu skills and swapping between characters is just so fun.

The bosses are easy and the game allows you to pause and heal similarly to BOTW but I needed to relax this week so it was fitting. The music is also great as well.

Katana Zero is the most cinematic game I have ever played thanks to the great mechanics and level design, with a ton of action movie-like setpieces the one after the other. Too bad it's unfinished because I was hooked by the story but it's still worth it.
