@len Yeah that's true, that's probably why I didn't finish it, but I love some of the tracks in there, like this one, they're the ones keeping me going :ratjam: https://youtu.be/fu61QtlWZ1s
@len Picross might be the only puzzle game I enjoy. Well, I did finish a Layton game too, which was nice too (and had such a sad ending :crie: ). I'm only somewhat competitive with platformers
@solidsanek didn't realise it had time trials until right now though, should go back to it for that, competitive picross with no limit but just "do it as fast as you can" is my kinda thing
Which is weird 'cause I'm generally not a competitive player at all, stresses me out usually
But now I'm thinking about it, if someone made a competitive Layton game I'd play that, too
@solidsanek Ooooooh new work playlist! (I've been listening to Rayman 3 and 2 extended OST lists which are awesome, and Katamari which is awesome, but more is better and this is perfect)
@len Rayman 2 and 3 lesgooooo! I loved them back then. Especially 3 with how much they tried to add minigames here and there, so it doesn't just feel like playing 2 all over again
@solidsanek I played it again recently and it holds up so well :ablobmeltsoblove: (some of those teensie doctors aside, oof, but those are a handful of cutscenes)
Also love all the silly side content things, especially the ones made up to be a home video series of how to kill Rayman!
It still has some of my most favourite music combined with gameplay and level design ever.
@solidsanek I am picky as heck with puzzle games - I love Layton ones because the puzzles are really good /and/ they care a lot about making a quirky world and entertaining story for the puzzles to live in! (Though I haven't played any by the new puzzle masters)
And I like ones like picross because I like that puzzle format. If I don't like the puzzle format enough to be okay with no character, I don't play. Picross is like sudoku but more fun.
There's few games out there that do what Layton did and work with actual puzzle masters and then find a way to make it accessible to everyone.
