Patient Gamers

I've finished Subnautica: Below Zero, and while I do appreciate the few QoL it introduces, overall I'd just stick with the original games. Too many surface sections, too much NPCs voice logs, plot isn't that engaging, the research and building is generally more of the same

Began Saga Scarlet Grace: Ambitions, one of the first remakes/remasters of the SaGa jRPG series made exclusively for perverts who want to be punished. Getting the hang of the game and its battles, its a fascinating system were you don't have levels, but rather your stats go up as you use them, and your techs also get less costly the more you attack; There's a huge focus on delaying or cancelling enemy actions, as well as speeding up or slowing your own, so you can land United Attacks where several members of your party wham on a single for, and can use more actions on the following turn. Also, a huge plus for any jRPG: You can apply negative statuses on bosses.
