    I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo. I’m not sold on it, but I tend to favour older games with turn based combat. Still, I did mostly enjoy the gameplay, it seems like it could be a fun game.

    I gave Dragon’s Dogma another try, and I’m 20+ hours in now. I never made it this far. It’s a pretty fun game, though I’m having difficulty figuring out some quests without resorting to searching wikis. My current quest, I need to find a gargoyle, kill it and get back something from it, but it didn’t drop anything. I’m wondering if it glitched.

    For relaxing, I’m playing Etrian Odyssey 3.

      Dragon’s Dogma is so good! I loved the game. The story is pretty much nothing until the latter fourth of the game, but I find it pretty compelling and interesting. Stick with it if you enjoy the gameplay enough (not sure about that bug though); the payoff for playing through to the end and then scouring Bitterblack Isle is well worth pushing through the nearly non-existant story in the middle.

        I got Dragon’s Dogma when it was on a deep sale not long ago, and if it wasn’t for Capcom absolutely killing it lately, I might let it sit in my backlog for a long time still, but I think I’ll get to it ahead of the sequel’s release.

          Enjoy! There’s definitely issues with it, but the core gameplay and combat is just too good.

        That’s good to know. I’m having fun playing a magical archer at the moment.
