Took a little while, but hit Emerald on the Legend Competition as well! Glad to be among the best on the planet... the competition is fierce 😅

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

It took just over two months, but I've finally reached 9999 in #SonicRacingCrossWorlds!

Next up, the Legend competition in a few days! Hoping for a few balance changes in the upcoming patch...

@SandfallGames If anything, my number one gripe with the game is with the gameplay itself. Maybe I'm personally tired of parries, but I'm not a fan of Expedition 33's specific implementation.

Not that it kept me from still attempting to 100% the game. What's here is really special.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

With this, I think I've 100%'d Clair Obscur (spoiler in image). A brilliant debut from @SandfallGames! You can truly feel the developers' love for their JRPG forebears.

It's an obvious contender for GOTY, but much more importantly, it's a game that's left me thinking. A lot.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@SandfallGames IMO, it's not quite perfect, and not in the "nothing is perfect" way, but it doesn't have to be. It's a game that challenges the viewer to think, analyze, and interpret what they're seeing.

Almost more than it asks them to, as Maelle yells so often, "parry it!"

I think I'm content with ending Season 1 of Tekken 8 at Tekken Emperor! Not too bad for my first Tekken game, I think. I'm proud of my improvement over the last year. Now to take this to locals and learn what Real Tekken™️ is like.

@devilleon7 These games are inspired by Asian crime dramas and...often play out as such! I'm not expecting The Wire or The Sopranos, but I'm expecting a good time, however flawed or even silly it might be.

That said, I also think these games generally outdo the media that inspired them.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@devilleon7 I'd personally rather a consistent stream of games ranging from good (no RGG game is bad) to fantastic than wait forever for a game. I've come to realize long waits =/= a game I'd like.

I also think RGG titles offer solid playtime per game especially with the release schedule.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@KatieChrz A blog like that would be awesome! Knowing how/why decisions get made would be really interesting to read. Also the journeys behind the bigger moments like Symphony and Murder of.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@Cybrid101 Mixed feelings. The game balance, especially for items, is very chaotic. The transformations also feel...gimmicky, tbh, in a way that Transformed's didn't. And I'm not a fan of the music.

That said, it's also a fun time! Kept me playing all weekend and I'll miss it until launch.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@zackreese Haha, I was actually guessing that it was the Crossworlds beta, but there's enough Sega games in the works that I guess I wouldn't actually know what you might be referring to!

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@KatieChrz Stoked to see the return of these games!! Loved Transformed and TSR, and obviously Riders haha. Will the sign up for the network test go up soon?

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@devilleon7 We will be watching and playing! I'm interested in the performance and ship combat. Hoping there aren't too many frame drops like the trailers indicated.

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

I've been loving this game with friends. One of the best social deduction games out there in its current form and it'll only get better with what we know of Mello.

It's also 25% off on Steam right now with crossplay and low system requirements!

@geoffkeighley Just remembered Split Fiction, eagerly awaiting that!

[Sohaib Kazmi @SSKazmic]

@geoffkeighley Hard to pick a single favorite! Clive in Tekken, Sonic Racing, Virtua Fighter, Project Century, Okami 2, Onimusha, Shadow Labyrinth, just off the top of my head. And that's before I go back to refresh my memory!
