What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Sonic Origins (PS4)

July 29th, 2023

Yesterday had kind of a strange feeling to it. There was a big storm last night, and it took out my internet until this morning, which I think gives me an off-balance feeling thinking about it. Today will be pretty laid back, though. After seeing Oppenheimer yesterday, I'm going to a late show of Barbie tonight, and I also plan to get a takeout lunch and pay my bills. The thrills are never ending.

I started the story mode in Sonic Origins Plus last night, since I had a few minutes to kill before going out for dinner. The cutscenes are super cute so far, and I think the game being switched into HD might make Marble Zone mildly less miserable. Placing all the games straight in a row, though, is going to lead to some weird ups and downs in difficulty, I think. It's a neat idea, but will probably be something I play on and off when I have small chunks of spare time.

After my internet outage kicked in, though, I started Dungeon Village 2, one of the digital sale games I picked up recently. It had been so long since I'd last played a Kairosoft game, but I jumped right in without missing a beat! I used to play Game Dev Story and Pocket Academy like crazy, and spent quite a lot of time on The Sushi Spinnery and Pocket Clothier, too. I'd played others a tiny bit, too, due to bad luck with phones and devices dying after my downloads, one of which was the first Dungeon Village. This was really fun to start up again, and I played until I got too exhausted to sit upright. Even though a lot of the Kairosoft sims are same-y, they hit the "oh, I love watching numbers go up!" part of my brain hard, so I'll probably carry on with this until I get a five-star village. I'm looking forward to it, and also trying to stop myself from redownloading the Switch port of Game Dev Story.
