Things have been busy the last month, and I haven't had the energy or motivation to buckle down and play Tales of Hearts R.
However, I have played some Rogue Legacy, the fusion of a Rogue-alike and Castlevania. While the game has a number of good points, it is not really a game I'm good at or greatly enjoy. It is a good distraction, though.
Ultimately, Rogue Legacy is a little too hard. It fails to recognize that the reason Metroidvanias are popular is that they let you explore and grow at a reasonable rate. The growth in Rogue Legacy is too slow and too inconsistent, and the game is difficult enough that you generally cannot explore a lot of the castle, and when you can, you end up dying and the castle changes.
