Yeah this is neat! I suppose I can watch to find out, but I'm pretty curious how you managed autobattling with the way it works in this game. Sure is a funny way to play with all mages!

I’m a little late in posting this one as it happened the week before last I think. But I’ve finished every tournament, got max stars on all 120 races, and I believe I found all Easter Eggs. One trophy left for platinum!

Pizza Tower was a wild ride. Love the humor and gross artstyle. Lots of Wario Land comparisons, which I agree with, but I'd also say very Sonic at times. I actually enjoyed this more than Sonic in general as I felt the levels all flowed into each other well with little punishment for losing momentum.

Octopath 2 took up my gaming time for the last 2-3 months or so, and it was a great time. I held off on getting the game despite enjoying the first, thinking maybe I had enough of the concept. They did a great job on improving on the first game in many ways, and made for an awesome 100 hour experience. The music and visuals in particular hit that perfect level of epic and cozy.

I really felt this time around they did a much better job with the characters and story. All the characters were enjoyable throughout, with more interaction between them this time. Great game all around with an absolutely ridiculous optional endgame boss.
