What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Drakengard (PS2)

March 6th, 2023

Yesterday, I played a lot of games to distract myself from the fact that it was Sunday and I had to go back to work the next day.

I started, and spent the most time with an old copy of Drakengard a friend had sent me, which is really interesting so far. The on-the-ground fighting seems a little basic so far, but even from the start, I can tell that it'll get more in depth as I gather and level up more weapons. Plus, it was really impressive when I got the dragon and lit a hundred guys on fire at once. Narrative function aside, that's not something every game is offering.

While I was thinking about repetitve violence, I downloaded and tried Gungrave G.O.R.E. on Gamepass, too. It was very over the top and ridiculous, but about right for a game that I was playing after midnight. The style wasn't nearly as good as I remember being the PS2 game being, but that's how stuff goes sometimes. I played the first level and imagine I'll bounce back to this.

I also played Disney Tsum Tsum a lot again, as I had no interest in being a useful or productive member of society. I gacha'd one of the event characters, King Mickey, so my quest to... do Kingdom Hearts stuff, I guess, not actually being very familiar with the series, shall only intensify from here. I am powerful at matching things.
