Update on Dragon Quest 11 Definitive Edition

This is a long game, with a lot more to it than I initially thought. Iā€™ve put in 150 hours, which was enough for me to finish all of the story content, including post-game plus all of the side quests except one. And thereā€™s still several more things that I want to do.

This is a very traditional RPG with streamlined mechanics that make it accessible, but also enough depth for you to be able to tinker if you want to. Iā€™d say itā€™s a great game to get your kids into RPGs if not for how weirdly sexualized some characters are at times. Setting aside the age appropriateness, there is one story beat thatā€™s particularly icky.

The cel shaded art style is really vibrant, and the characters were designed by Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball Z), which gives the game a very recognizable look.

Overall this is one of the stronger third party titles on the Switch. Itā€™s also a great choice for mobile gaming because a small screen doesnā€™t really detract from the game.

If you enjoyed RPGs from the NES or SNES era, youā€™ll probably get a kick out of this.

GOW Ragnarok came out with a free DLC and itā€™s pretty fun. I chose the hardest difficulty and itā€™s kicking my ass / a huge grind, but still fun.

Jesus you must like a challenge. I did the default difficulty and felt like I probably could have done the 3rd difficulty level but the mastery difficulty level seems absurd lol. Anyway I got the credits to roll after about 6ish hrs of play. Had a great time. The combat is so damn diverse and satisfying if you learn all the moves.

I liked it alot

I forgot about HellBlade. That game really struck a chord with me at the time I played it.

What a year for gaming. Hereā€™s what I played in 2023:
Witcher 3
The Last of Us
It Takes Two
Portal
Tears of the Kingdom
Pikmin 4
GTA V
Baldurā€™s Gate 3
Dragon Quest 11
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Spider-Man 2

I rolled credits on all of these except Pikmin 4 (and I also played a bit of Portal 2, which I plan to come back to eventually).

On deck for next year are Monster Hunter: Rise and the PS4 version of the Mass Effect trilogy.

Last of Us Part 2 remaster comes out in a couple weeks, Iā€™m biased (have like 300 hours in the game) but Iā€™d put that at the top of my list if you enjoyed the first one.
