I'm probably not going to get Lumines Arise for a number of reasons, it's probably not a bad game by any means and may well be the definite Lumines experience but if it's anything like Tetris Connect it will be a bit hard for me (seriously why was TE so hard lol, or was it just me) and having tried the PSP version I think I quite like the loop but after a while I was starting to feel it's a bit long (then again, Tetris was probably Always Like That and I was never good enough to tell).

But man, it looks and sounds amazing.

Anyway I did get Lumines Remastered for Switch on sale still, very cheap and more than worth the price I think. I also had a quick go on Meteos for the DS after Lumines because they're like, sister games or whatever and honestly think I prefer it. Not sure we'll ever see that again due to the touchscreen being mandatory but hey, we got The World Ends With You on consoles so who knows.

If I could put any serious time into games of this ilk it would probably be Puyo Pop, I think the chain reactions in that game are a far bigger dopamine hit than get a big Lumines combo, a Tetris or errr, lifting up all the blocks on the screen into the planet at once.

I cant remember the controls but the combo meter is basd on who you have in your party, both the elementand the strength of the attack, and because your party can depend on the real gacha what you're working with can vary from what someone else had to work with, though you get some characters in the story and one of them is ridiculously strong if you put time into her affinty chart.

I appreciated XC2 a lot more when I replayed it after beating XC3, combat system is awesome

Potentially one of the biggest gaming disappoints of my lifetime honestly, I haven't played MP3 (I will eventually though) but I understand that had alot of soldiers in it too and that isn't considered absolute trash so I'm hoping I'm just overreacting. That said, I usually hear Echoes talked about more harshly than Corruption, and I love that game, people really do not like the Dark World I guess.

Curious to know if anyone here is even going to use that C button even once
