I recently played a 3D roguelike called Going Under. It kind of plays like 3D Zelda. The humor/writing can be a bit much sometimes but overall I thought it was cute and I had fun with it. The game kind of went under the radar, and I know people are probably tired of roguelikes these days but it's definitely solid.

Looks cool. And very interesting art style.

Yakuza 0. I haven't played the series before, but I'm enjoying it.

Grinding the new event on Dragalia Lost, at the moment. I love these characters so much.

I would argue Team Ninja games are significantly more difficult than FromSoft games. Not in a bad way by any means.

Yeah lol. You will get your ass kicked, but when you get good at it you'll get such a buzz, because you'll be zipping around with combos and deflecting their attacks before they know what hit them. The victories in Ninja Gaiden feel like real victories because of the difficulty, and it's mostly not a cheap difficulty, like damage sponge enemies or difficulty from bad controls, so when you lose you'll feel like you deserved to lose because you did something you shouldn't have done, or didn't do something you should have.
It's a great introduction into dark souls too because it prepares you for dying a lot, which you will do in dark souls and in ninja gaiden when you're first starting out.

I had more difficulty with dark souls. I can only speak from my own experience but although ninja gaiden games were difficult I wanted to pull my hair out with dark souls when I first played it. In ninja gaiden you are incredibly acrobatic so you learn these moves to make things easier, like jumping off of the wall and them striking down hard. I got a lot of easy kills by spamming that and the enemies could rarely touch me while I did it. But in dark souls you are so much slower and you aren't a super ninja zipping around but depending on your armor you can move very slow or more like faster than a normal person, but no wall jumps, no jumping off of enemies and zipping through the air. This makes your timing of evades and deflects much more important and costly if you fail, because it's harder to get away from the enemy than in N.G after a missed riposte or roll-away.
I played ninja gaiden at a very young age and beat it, never getting too frustrated. But I quit dark souls and wrote a bad review about how it was too hard lol, and this was when I was much older and experienced with games. I eventually came back and fell in love with it but fuck me that first experience was just brutal.

Sweet. My only problem with Dark Souls is that, it seems that the developers are deliberately trolling players.

I can understand that. It could just be the order in which you play them too, so once you're used to one format the other seems more difficult. I played the Souls series first, and although I did struggle with the first one (particularly at first getting used to the controls, and the parts with gravity deaths...) I found the more brutal, relentless enemies of Ninja Gaiden and Nioh to be more difficult. In DkS1 in particular you had the option of facetanking in Havel's while you heal, but you have no such luxury in games where even normal enemies can kill you in a couple hits. I will say the Souls series is much less generous with its checkpoints though, especially prior to DkS3. Either way, they're all really good series that are worth the suffering.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite comment on the site.

I've mostly been playing Call of Duty WWII, but have also been playing Halo MCC, and Dead Space. I mainly play video games to pass time, since I hardly feel excited or interested anymore. Dead Space is definitely one of the games that got me interested however, I should seriously finish it and play the others in the series.
