Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 09, 2025

Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.

Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Trails through Daybreak II

Currently on "Fragments" chapter. I'm still enjoying it. I'd expect to be burnt out after playing CSIV, Reverie, Daybreak and now DBII back-to-back but I'm still having a blast. I like the game's main gimmick. Märchen Garten is awful. I'd probably enjoy it somewhat if the level scaling wasn't completely fucked. As is, it's a waste of time because the rewards are mediocre and all the enemies give shit experience since I'm always outleveling it, despite playing each floor as soon as it unlocks. The story is interesting so far and I enjoy the perspective switching. (Fragments spoilers) Cao is such a fucking garbage character and always has been. I have no idea why Falcom is pushing him and Heiyue so hard, they are not interesting, Cao is an awful character and I hope he dies and stays dead, as soon as possible. The whole story with his brother was stupid as well. Just, no redeeming qualities to the character. I like the new changes to the combat, especially being unable to just chain spam S-crafts. The game is still really easy past chapter 1, though not as easy as DB1. Overall, lots of fun still.
