I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.
Also the gameplay still holds up…mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I’m getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you “Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck” no markers just exploration.
The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.
I am playing through P5 Royal right now for the first time and it is awesome, already on my all time list. On top of all the positives you will hear over and over again about this game, it does a good job of introducing all the gameplay elements one-by-one and spaced out enough so that it never feels overwhelming. I am not a JRPG guy so I really appreciated it, and I am glad it didn’t turn out to be a game that you have to restart a few times to understand it.
But yeah, just a really good story, characters, super stylish in every aspect of the game, amazing music. The story definitely goes off the rails at times but the way it talks about societal themes are overall pretty good (especially in the beginning IMO) but suffers from liberalism and anime sexualization at times.
