|- - - what to play next? - - -|
The last few days I was reading The Invisible Man on my free time
, mostly during my commute.
Now that I've finnished it, I'm wondering what to read/play next.
I'm considering playing Link's Awakening DX on my Gameboy Color
, but I want to play it on its own cartridge rather than on an everdrive cart.
Cozy games have always caught my interest, and since I want something to do while on my commute,
I feel like maybe playing one would be a good choice.
Since I have a modded PSP I could play almost any game from before 2003,
but which one to choose?
The first option is to choose a Harvest Moon game, but I don't really feel attracted to it.
I've tried it a bit on the Gameboy Color, but it didn't catch my attention.
Second option is to come back to Summon Night: Swordcraft Story for the Gameboy Advance,
but honetly I feel a little lost. Maybe in a couple of months, but right now I want to try something new.
Lastly, I've been wanting to play a Atelier game ever since I saw there was a PSP game involving alchemy.
I don't know if I'll choose the PSP games since it seems that they are dating sims,
and the screenshots I'm seeing I'm more inclined to play the Gameboy Advance entry.
Some people might use this as an oportunity to talk about media consumption, and being intentional with it,
and about social media use and stuff... but I don't really know that much about that.
I've always just played whatever I wanted, and not really used social media beyond Whatsapp, Youtube,
and Facebook Marketplace. So if you want any advice on how to be more intentional with the media you
watch and the games that you play,
I'd tell you to just download an emulator and at least once a week watch a movie with no distractions,
even if it's one you've already seen.
Also I love to try and guess how special effects were done, so you can try that too maybe.
If you have any suggestions on other retro cozy games to try out
(even tho I don't consider the PSP to be retro),
you tell me on this google forms.
