Scribblenauts Unlimited!
My first mission is to make a dynamic robotic triceratops with wheels for legs, and a spiky-haired ex-Soldier with an enormous sword. [Anyone who has played Final Fantasy VII might get those references.]

More Scribblenauts Unlimited. I'm really not used to playing games on the computer.

Playing Tekken 7 today C:

Nier Automata. Playing through the second route. Really like the game, despite a lot of weird design quirks and an AWFUL PC port job that puts it on par with the original Dark Souls. People like to complain about developers like Bethesda, but Bethesda has nothing on Japanese developers.

Far Cry 4

GTA 5 online. Working on gunrunning equipment, gotta collect them all.

Tales of the Abyss.

I'm playing aerobiz supersonic on my SNES emulator, and fallouts Vegas and 4.

How difficult is Ori and the Blind Forest? I might buy it eventually on Steam if it's not 'Nintendo hard'.

Ori and the Blind Forest is difficult but not frustrating, being balanced around a mechanic where you can essentially save your game at any time outside of a few specific instances. Save scumming is not only encouraged but part of its core design. I haven't played many 2D platformers other than it since the 16-bit era, so it's difficult to for me to make comparisons to Nintendo platformers. I would say the game is as difficult as anything in Super Mario Bros 2 - The Lost Levels or the lost world stages in Donkey Kong Country 2 & 3, but because of the saving mechanic it's less likely you'll hit a wall with progression.

Though the game is structured like a Metroid or Castlevania game, its difficulty lies in its platforming rather than its combat. Its combat is really weak and is at its best when it exists only to serve the platforming - think bouncing off Koopas to get to higher platforms in Mario; this is how combat is best treated in game. I feel like it's a really unique take on the genre, since most of these styles of games focus on combat and character progression through getting new weapons and abilities, but in this most of your meaningful progression is tied to abilities that affect your mobility through the environment. The moment to moment gameplay reminds me more of Super Meat Boy than any other 2D platformer or Metroidvania I can think of.

^^The visuals remind me of Studio Ghibli movies.

If you play it much more than the visuals will remind you of Ghibli films. I have to assume the developer is well versed and heavily influenced by Miyazaki's films.

The larger creature on the cover reminds me of No-Face.

I finished fallout 4, just started MGS V.
Also, ive been playing my new PSone emulator, I started Parasite Eve.
