Multi Post a genre, get a game

Oooh, here's something:
Rally Racing game. Gen 7 or older, plus Wii U (technically Gen 7), and Switch. No digital only releases. No PSP (don't have one).

No Dirt/Colin McRae, Sega Rally, and Top Gear Rally.

Wanna see if there's something out there besides the most well known brands. Let's see what you guys got.

Ever play Rally Masters on PS1?

Given I haven't played it in a long time but I have fond memories of it.

good rec. DICE made the game and based on the gameplay, you have a navigator unlike in Top Gear Rally for the N64. I'll look out for it.

Good shoutout on Blasphemous. Enjoying it.

So I beat Blasphemous already - I'm gonna go for the Plat and do some clean up.

Loved the game. I hated the final boss - it felt underwhelming compared to the two prior.

The two prior were also my favourite bosses though - the real highlight for me was the level design. Even if I fell to my death or onto spikes dozens of times.

Glad you enjoyed! My next recommendation for you will be easy:
Blasphemous... 2.

Good call.

Gonna wait on that one though for a sale or for the catalog or something. Don't got an extra $40 sitting around right now.

I'll wait it out. The last one got some DLC pretty late, so I suspect the same will happen with Blasphemous 2. No rush. It's not like I don't have a backlog of 100 games or anything.

I started playing Eldest Souls and I feel shitty about recommending the game. It's weird that a game can position itself as a souls-like and get SO much wrong about what Souls games are about. To be fair, I don't hate the game, but what starts as a game of skill quickly becomes a game of spam. It's very rare that I seem like I play worse but do better in a game the more I play it.

No worries man. I only put like 15 minutes anyhow.

The biggest problem I find about games labelling themselves as Soulslike is that so many of them just aren't. There's a lot of them out there and it saturates the market. It's one of the misused classification of subgenre in my opinion.

Side note. Have you ever played Salt and Sacrifice, Moonscars, or Grime?

I've played 0 of them. I've only ever heard of Salt.

Was curious cause they all seem to have that similar Soulslike/Metroidvania style and they are coming to PS Plus.

Salt is supposedly pretty good but it's niche of niche. Lemme know what you think
