Shame about Monolith. I really enjoyed the F.E.A.R. and Condemned games. Was interested in seeing how Wonder Woman game might have turned out.

Really enjoying Echoes of Wisdom.  I've completed the first 2 major area's so far.  Playing this reminds me how long it's been since the last top down Zelda game.  If I recall correctly that was Link between Worlds on the 3DS way back in 2013.  The grand 3D zelda's are great fun, but there's something magical about these more compact adventures.  The brevity of it all seems to alleviate it even further, where the whole thing just tightly slots together.  Cutscenes don't take a second longer than they need to be, animation is succint and clearly readable and the whole thing isn't ashamed to just be a videogame.

The inclusion of fast travel points is definitely a concession to the modern age and younger gamers, but with a world so compact and wonderfully realised, I don't see why you'd ever want to use them.

That would have been Monster Hunter Tri, and I more or less had the same thing happen to me. I got ambushed by a monster while I was exploring, and then got fed up with the game and took it back to GameStop to sell it.


A couple years later when that first big Wii u drought hit. I ended up buying the Ultimate version for the Wii U, and finally figured out how to play the game. Glad I gave it that second chance. Turned into one of my favorite series of the past 10 years.

Really would like to play more Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Only played it very briefly. Also want to grab Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for the Switch. It goes on sale for quite cheap these days.

Tri was my entry point into the series as well.  It's sad that the underwater battling hasn't made a return.  It brought something unique to the gameplay and allowed for some interesting monster designs.
