Jalanimal: Silent Hill 4
- Played on: AYN Odin 2 Mini
I had an issue with my Silent Hill 2 Remake preorder, so instead I decided to play a game in the series I haven’t yet. Silent Hill 4 is a bit of an interesting take on the series as it has moments of first-person point of view and you trying to figure out why you are locked in your bedroom. It is a great time for the spooky month and the Odin Mini can handle the HD textures I applied making it look great!
Derek: Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred
- Played on: Lenovo Legion Y700
I’m currently slaying demons in the new Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion. I like to kick back on the couch and play using the Lenovo Legion Y700 paired with the Abxylute S9 controller, streamed from my PC using Moonlight.
Nick: Chase Turbo
- Played on: Anbernic RG Cube
I’ve been streaming Horizon Chase Turbo via Moonlight at an aspect ratio other than intended. This game really translates well to any handheld that supports streaming, and it’s easy to jump into for quick play sessions during the week. Something about this modern ode to Outrun gets me to keep coming back.
Shawn: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Played on: Nintendo Switch
I’ve been playing Echoes of Wisdom in complete darkness on my Switch — docked, obviously. I’m not far at all, but the way you play this game versus any other Zelda game is so unique that the gameplay itself is addictive. I replayed Link’s Awakening before this, thinking the games would be similar, but the art design and both games featuring Link to some degree are exactly where the similarities end.
Dan W: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
- Played On: Switch Lite
Zu: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
- Played on: RG35XXSP
Continuing Moulder the Boulder’s journey to a broken AF Bishop for GOTY.
From Our Readers!
Cho: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
- Played on: Nintendo Switch OLED
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is amazing! What else can I say? It’s a Zelda game where you play as Zelda 🙂. It’s fantastic so far and the art style is top notch.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Dave the Diver, Metal Slug 4.
Ive been playing FF7Rb for a bit but definitely love to mix it up with retro games. DTD is new but plays like a retro and is great so far! Who can go wrong with the MEtal Slug series??? Working my way thru all of them again, and I love it!
All great games! I loved DTD. Such a fun gameplay loop. I need to go back and play more myself!
Worth it for the free DLC
Super Metroid Redux on the 40xx.
Redux has a “hard” mode and the option to increase gravity so Samus feels similar to the GBA games. It’s a great time 👍
That sounds great! I may need to give the game another try with that. Are playing for GOTM or just for fun? Care if we may feature your answer in our article in the future?
Strife, Super Metroid, Devil may Cry. Basically all 3 GOTM I beat. Wendy as well in GOTW. But my banger now is The Godfather for PS2, the offer that I just can’t refuse
All the GOTM are done. Now is Pepsiman on PS1 and K1 World Grand Prix on PS2
did they finally finish the translation of star ocean: blue sphere? or is stubbs playing the unfinished translation that’s been out for a while?
Just finished Pokémon Fire Red on my 35xx SP, and I’m currently playing Outer Wilds in my Steam Deck. What an amazing game!!!
