Heya. I can't believe it is already the end of the month of January! Ever since graduation, I have been embracing the NEET life and going full-on gaming mode while handling other adult errands like a responsible adult that I am.
January started fairly slow for me as I did not have anything exciting planned out for the new year. I was only excited to finish all the games I've been wanting to play since I got a PS4 console. I've never had a console that I can call my own but now that I do, I want to use it to its full potential! I am fulfilling that promise very well this month. I have completed 2 games so far and I'm onto my third game.
This is my short review/comment of the two PS4 games I've proudly completed in January. I know I know, I'm a year late with the games but I can't help it. School and real life responsibilities are just more important. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to the game releases this year since no more homework from uni! I just hope work responsibilities don't get in the way.
Persona 5
The first game that I've completed this month is Persona 5. This game is by far the most time consuming one so far. I've spent close to 100 hours trying to completed it. I would say that the game is very well done. I really liked the gameplay in Persona 5, the story and the character designs. They aced the protagonist design because he is cute af! I also really liked that the whole game was set in Tokyo. Especially because I'm living in Tokyo, it was fairly easy to relate to the game. Now, I don't think I can ever walk around Shibuya and look at it the same way as before. However, I don't think this story was my favourite out of Persona series. I'm still a P3 fan but that's probably because it was my first Persona series I laid my hands.
My favourite character in P5 besides the Protagonist? Morgana.
My least favourite character? Ryuuji. Hands down. I don't think I'll ever like him. lol.
Rating: 9/10
I can't give it a full ten points like I hoped to because I wasn't able to relate that much with the characters this time for some reason. Maybe my approach to the game was different or that I've grown out of the high school fantasy or that because I'm actually living here the spark of 'Oh Japan!' and died down quite a lot.
Hoever, for any first timers, this is still an awesome game because I managed to get B to get hooked onto it. He loves this game so much that he is playing it everyday after work and during the weekends. I've never seen him so dedicated to something until I introduced this game to him. lol.
NieR: Automata
This by far is the BEST game I've ever played so far. I went on to youtube/google to search on more things about this game because this game has taken over my life. I just didn't know what to do anymore if I didn't understand the world of the series thoroughly. The game doesn't simply explain everything. It requires fairly bit of analysing and theorising. (Thank goodness of fan theories.) I think partly why I didn't understand a lot of things in story was because I have never played the NieR series at all so trying to piece everything together was a little difficult. But thanks to the loyal fans to the series, I managed to learn about the previous series and piece it all together. From my research, this game is an indirect sequel from the previous game, NieR RepliCant. It is an extension from one of the endings in the game so technically, you don't have to play previous series to enjoy this one but of course to understand the world of the NieR/Darkengard, it is recommended(?).
This game is fairly short if compared to Persona5. This game took about 50 hours of game play including trying to finish all the side quests. But I thoroughly enjoyed myself and still think about this game once in a while. Yes, I'm still having withdrawals from this game. What made this game so good is the story and the awesome soundtrack. Just when I thought "Kingdom Hearts and FF has the best soundtrack", I was so wrong. I'm not even sure how to put it in words. The creator of this game made the story and music so well together that just listening to the music itself brings back so much memories and scenes of the game.
As I was making my way through the game and finding out so much of the NieR: Automata world, it broke me. When I was near the ending, I know I felt this ache in my heart. The same feeling I get when I am heartbroken. I swear, it was so difficult to finish the game because of the emotions I was feeling at that point. I've never been so attached to a character in game before and neither had I been so immersed in a game until now. So when I finished the game, I just didn't know how to live any more. It left me depress and empty. Most would say, 'Aren't most games like that?" Well, yeah, I don't deny that but this time though it was another level. I'd say I wasn't mentally or emotionally prepared for what was coming.
This game is highly and without a doubt recommended for the awesome story and soundtrack. i never regretted playing and would play it again once my emotions are more stable. The only regret is probably not playing it sooner and that I didn't join this cryptic NieR cult.
Favourite character: 9S

Awesome story and soundtrack. A game created by a genius!

This month is a lot of gaming be it on console or on PC so I don't really have a lot of exciting things I could really write down besides me expressing my love for games. But, I do have good news that totally don't deserve a post on its own. Ha!
Firstly, I managed to get my work visa; a rather lengthy one too. Secondly, I'll be heading back to Singapore in February for Chinese New Year. I am excited for all the local goodies I get to have. My dad started cooking again and my mom has officially retired so that means more stay-in and more family time. So, if I happen to not do as much meet up, please try to understand that this time round is more about family and pet dog, BB, time for me. Also, since I have become more introverted than before, I really value my time indoors oh so very much. My best friends understand that side of me and I am thankful.
May February be kind to us.
Will write again.
