@RentedPanda Trials is a fantastic game to get into the series on. It's expanding and experimenting with Secret of Mana's gameplay, but still faithful enough to see where the series came from and the direction it's going. The remake makes it even better.
Legends of Mana is a great game, and one of my favorites for the PSX, but it's very experimental and you need a guide to get the best ending. However, it's great fun to just mess around in, if you're not too focused on getting the single best ending, with its item creation, pet keeping, and Golem making systems.
Also feels like Floatopia is trying to be a cozy game designed by marketing and metrics. It really just feels like a rote checklist of what a cozy game is supposed to be, in that cold sterile kind of way.
TBH, only life sim I want right now is Fantasy Life i, but that's because it's Level 5. Yes, I realize I'm on the Xbox news site right now. That's how little was worth it today.
Also feel like Sjokz did all the hosting, but Geoff got all the credit. He was only on stage for less than 20 minutes total, but got an animated short dedicated to him for a game that he's otherwise unrelated to? Really comes off wrong for me.
I'm still a little bitter about Keen Software House, the developers for Space Engineers. I loved Medieval Engineers, but they suddenly stopped development in early access and left the project to rot.
I'll probably poke at Space Engineers again for the curiosity of how it behaves on console, but I wouldn't spend any money on it.

Both are great entries in the series as a whole.
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024?
D. Nothing really interesting, aside from Wilds.
