Your unicorn pun is forgiven. 🦄

I also am only picking up one more announced game this year (SMTV2) and also Episode Aigis, so yeah ... it will be my "best game released in 2024" GOAT most likely!

I do agree that bumping up the difficulty wouldn't have done much. Both the joy and curse of strategy games is once you learn the game, you can break it wide open regardless of difficulty. I can challenge myself the next time with a self-imposed challenge, but at the end of the day I still have the knowledge of how to break armored units. Tactical was comfortable and required tweaking once in a while and that's fine.

In the end, I built 5 units that I felt were solid (with 3 mega bangers and 2 great ones) and one that was pretty meh. But I did it! What a delight, and I played on Tactical throughout. I'll surely return to it again and again.

Damn, you really blasted through! I also have 6 units built, which feels like a good amount. But I would say 3 of my units are bangers, 1 is pretty good in niche situations and my other two are just not that great. But they have fallen behind now since my other units are for the most part mobile and just mop up maps. We'll see. The final area's units are irritating me right now.

It's been absolute hell trying to get a copy of the special edition this week So many cancelations, refunds, shops getting different language copies and scalpers boosting the price

I have an unopened standard PS5 copy while I look but I think I’m just going to give up on it as its £200+ now and no way am I paying that

I poked my head into Elheim (okay, that's a lie: I ran as far as I could until I was gated by plot) and picked up my girl Rosalinde, who really just broke most of Drakenhold wide open. Then Berengaria shows up and Drakenhold was a steamroll except for the far northern battle.

I'm most than halfway done with Elheim and for the most part my unit she's in is just destroying everything.

I also pushed into Bastorias as far as I could and no, there's no scaling. I did find the first half of Elheim to be too easy (both the liberation and the side questing) but once you regain control of the castle I wasn't too far ahead of the curve.

I have really enjoyed the depth of strategy but still don't understand why some of unit synergizes so well.

Unicorn Overlord really might be a sleeper pick for GOTY for me too so far. (depends on if I beat FF7R2 this year or not )
I am enjoying it endlessly. It's just so good

I like to keep my gaming tastes relatively simple. 😂

I like my little spreadsheet and so far it's helped me build units. The sense I'm getting is that apart from having dedicated flyer/non-flyer units for terrain, we'll probably want to build units around a few complimentary types of units (like Housecarls and Gladiators with Clerics, Shamans with that other class that benefits from debuffing) or build mixed all-rounder units.

I roamed around Elfland and then followed the plot and I will say ... pleasantly surprised that side characters from the demo hours are featuring in the story. There is enough intrigue to make up for what is otherwise a pretty simple story. But it keeps the momentum.

Re: demos - exactly. I've been burned too many times, but recently less so as, and credit to Backloggery actually, I've finally figured out after 25 years of gaming what I actually like.

Re: UO, we are at about the same point in the game and I have the same feeling. I know this game is going to tickle my spreadsheet heart and I'm having a hard time keeping track of what units are strong against what. So I think I might make a little sheet for myself. I seem to have like two units that are really functional and synergize nicely and not exactly sure how I managed that.

I respect the no demo choice. I'm very much the opposite and remember liking how it all looked but hoping for a demo to understand how all the parts fit together. I went from a maybe to a heck yeah after the demo!

The sleep thing is a shame. I just rescued Scarlett so everything is so open now ... But building good units is hard. I might drop down from Tactical.

I got royaly screwed over on the Unicorn Overlord front with my Monarch Edition getting canceled this morning! -_- (ended up getting a normal physical copy in store today though) but glad to see it’s living up to all the hype though and being yet ANOTHER GOTY contender
