    I didn’t, my pending games list is extensive and you are matching every one. Currently I am playing Nier Automata, after that I will play Mirror’s Edge because I understand it is a relatively short game

      Ah gotcha. How are you liking Nier so far? It’s more of a spectical fighter than an open world traversal game.

        I have gotten to the Forest Zone. The combat is pretty good, I like the combos and parry mechanics (even though sometimes I just mash dash to avoid attacks).

        I also like the traversal style with the changing cameras switching from 2D to 3D. For now, the world is small enough that I could avoid fast travel and do multiple missions while going from one to another.

        The drone is something I find superfluous, sometimes I forget shooting with it. Maybe with keyboard it is different.

          I played the whole thing on controller. It sounds like you’re still early in the game so the combat hasn’t pushed you to play it like a twin stick yet. During certain bosses and especially after a spoiler will the drone become more useful and reveal mechanical depth you havent been exposed to yet. Give it time. That game is a treasure.
