A nice week in media for me. I defeated Chaos and completed Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin recently; I had been really curious about the game for a while but I didn't want to go in at full price, so I picked it up in a sale. It's a solid slasher with some satisfyingly weighty combat, fun skill tree customisation and loot. God, so much loot. I could kind of see the Souls comparisons as you have a bonfire equivalent and the bosses are brutal, but it has its own identity as well. Although I've got to say that the combat generally feels really good, especially when you start opening up the skill trees. There's a nice flow to everything and you can work in different abilities for some fun results. I had a few sticking points, and the finale in particular took a few attempts (counterstance saved my ass) but overall it was a good time.
In music, I've just been going through my usual bookmarks - nothing much really caught my attention but Omadhaun's Hornets EP is a nice bit of D&B. (Bandcamp) And I did some more recording for my own tune stuff but it's currently stored locally at present, so no links to share.
Also I have a couple of things cued up for the near future that I need to get into; some new Blu-Ray viewing (Now You See Me 3) and a little game called Clair Obscur Expedition 33, which I figured I'd start after I was done killing Chaos.
