Continuing my first time playthrough of Apollo Justice on my way through the rest of the Ace Attorney series.
And returning to Death Stranding since I beat the game to max out the prepper shelters (mission givers) and to slowly work towards Legend of Legends (completing every single repeatable mission on “hard” mode).
Now that the story is over Death Stranding is a fantastic “throw on a podcast and grind” kind of game. Very soothing.
Still working through side quests in Borderlands 3 as well. Really enjoying the shooting in this one. As acclaimed as 2 is, I just couldn’t stand the shooting model until at least Pre Sequel, but 3’s shooting genuinely feels quite good now.
I hope you enjoy the Apollo Justice series! Will you be playing the Investigations series with Edgeworth too?
I played all the Ace Attorney games for the first time during the pandemic and had an absolute blast! The Great Ace Attorney duology is definitely my favourite of the bunch by far, but they are all so charming!
As a kid I endlessly replayed the original trilogy and never wanted to try Apollo because “I thought his hair looked dumb”, so after trying it now and realizing that even with a new character it’s still Ace Attorney I won’t be skipping any other games.
So yes, I’ll be doing the Edgeworth Investigations next! I’m excited. Eventually I’ll make my way through the 3DS titles and then to Great Ace Attorney too.
Is there a way around the stealth / hiding from the black fog thingy or does it get less as you progress? This is the only thing that held me back playing further. And I was so impressed by everything else in the game. It is a bit sad, I really want to continue playing.
They won’t go away, but you will eventually learn and see where they are. Sometimes you’ll have to engage them, a lot of the time you can get around them.
They’re not in all areas, but you will be able to understand how to deal with them and once you can fight back you can handle them.
I was terrified by them in the beginning and didn’t want to have to deal with them, but now I really think they’re cool and enjoy taking them down. You really go from helpless and confused to knowledgeable and prepared.
You do get a way to combat them fairly easily later on, but it’s still usually best to avoid them unless they are very dense or blocking your path directly. It does not become less frequent, it gets more frequent, but you can actually engage them
I’m a PC player so I probably won’t get to play the second one for quite a long time, but I’m excited as well. Kojima doesn’t usually iterate in a straightforward manner in sequels, so it’s hard to know just quite what we’ll get out of it.
Death Stranding was already one of the most novel and interesting games I’ve ever played in both story and gameplay, so I’m glad we’ll get to see some more of it.

Thank you very much. I guess I just have to pick it up and get through this. I loved everything else of it, so I am sure it is worth it :-)

Thank you. Knowing that I am able to deal with them other than trying so sneak around them will make things easier :-)

I loved Death Stranding, it’s one of my few platinum trophies on Playstation. looking forward to the sequel that I just recently heard about.
