Then maybe the rumoured Direct on 29th with a BY THE WAY, XENO 3 OUT NOW reminder.

Makes sense.

...Xeno's out 29th July. :lol:



Not even joking but I tuned in for the Direct this afternoon before realising it's actually tomorrow :fp:

Ripping my way through Torna in advance of this, it's reminding me just how much I loved 2 :wub:

Torna was the first (and only) title in the franchise that I have played. I really liked it.

Conversely it's the only game in the franchise I haven't played! (Unless you include Future Connected I guess.)

Torna is really good, I prefer the combat in that than XC2.

Torna combat hasn't quite clicked for me in the way that XC2 did, but it's definitely still great!

Torna's spin on the XC2 is definitely an interesting way of mixing it up but yeh, I think I prefer XC2's as well.

Some of things they did in Torna streamlined the battle system even more. I liked it more than XC2's.

I do like the extra tactical element of the vanguard switching stuff that Torna adds

This does look great, reckon it’ll be similar to XC 2 in that I don’t actually get a handle on the battle mechanics properly till right near the end though.
