My copy of Shin Megami Tensei V Steelbook Edition finally arrived today. Yay! I had it preordered and got a bit worried when it wasn’t shipped to me on launch day.

Based on Leo's recommendation, I just picked up Persona 5 strikers on Nintendo's Black Friday sale. I think that makes this the first non remake game I have purchased that was released in 2021.

Amazon had SMTV on sale for $40, so I just grabbed a copy.

Kind of surprised that it’s on sale already. Have very little experience with the SMT games myself but in the 8 hours or so that I’ve played this one I am really enjoying it.

yeah I was surprised, but that's why I jumped at it. Not sure if it's a sign the game isn't selling well, or if Atlus is just pushing hard during the holidays. I've seen them do this before with games they release late in the year, cutting the price right before the holidays.

Anyway, I don't know all the specifics of this game, but I can tell you that historically the series is very tough and the stories are engaging, but dark and kind of depressing. Not a lot of Happy moments. Not much like them out there.

As you play you'll have to make decisions that favor lawful or chaotic, and for the best results you want to try to stick to a neutral path if you can. It will make more sense as the game goes on I suspect.

I died a couple of times at the start and the first boss kicked my ass a few times until I finally managed to beat him. It seems like a dark Pokemon game of which I’m really digging.

I never thought about it that way, but yeah that's actually a pretty apt description.

Finally got a copy of resident evil village. Probably won't be playing it anytime soon, as I'd rather focus on SMTV, but with a little use of vacation time, I might actually play two games that were released this year.

I was thinking about DQ3, but with the remaster around the corner I think it's better to hold off.

Downloaded Mario + Rabbids bundled with the dlc last night. Been wanting this for awhile now and it’s regularly on sale. Finally pulled the trigger on it.

I still need to play my copy of this. I started it right when I got my switch and then put it on hold.

Would like to get Guardians of the Galaxy as well. Looks to be a very fun and enjoyable game.

Well that didn’t take long. Picked up a copy of Guardians of the Galaxy for Xbox from Walmart today for $40 CDN. That’s half price here so decent enough price for it.

I noticed Cruis'n Blast was half off on the eShop sale so I grabbed it. The old Cruis'n games on the N64 were some of my favorite games on the system.
