Hello Everyone,

I keep saying I only play one game at a time, but I keep starting multiple games. Generally, my rule is one big game, with one smaller game, to keep things fresh. Recently started playing a bit of multiplayer, so added one multiplayer game too. Going to keep it like this now.

  • Still playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Playing it slowly, reached the Water world (don't remember the name), chose it over the snow one, will play that after clearing water one.
  • Resumed my play-through of Dragon Quest XI, I have assembled the full party, and am about 25 or so hours in. Going to play this regularly now, as my primary game.
  • Resumed Monster Hunter: World. Took a break of couple of weeks, now catching up to my friends, will most probably just play it as MP game, with some session here and there to grind / farm some specific gear or something.

Other than these, some smaller, side games:

  • minit, I finished the game. It's a small, adventure game in black and white, where each run is exactly 1 minute long. Any puzzle you solve or item you obtain remain like that, but you die after 60 seconds, and respawn at your home (or one of the other specified location, if you reach them). You can finish the game in 3-4 hours. I just tried it on a whim, but really enjoyed it. If you don't mind the graphics and such games, you should definitely try it.
  • barato: I was somewhat interested in Vampire Survivors coming to Switch this month, but when I posted about barato, people praised it, and I noticed the "Overwhelmingly Positive" on steam, which intrigued me. Then some more comments on the launch trailer I posted yesterday... long story short, I got the game. And it's very addicting. Though, embarrassingly I still haven't been able to complete a full run. I would be feeling very OP, and the my overconfidence would get me killed. This is going to be, "in-bed-before-sleep" game.

See, just one game at a time!

So, what have you all been playing?

I grabbed the entire PIKMIN series on Switch and will start playing them this weekend. I’m very excited, I’ve never played any of them!

    Nice! I want to start on 1-2 soon. Which for me means sometimes this year...

    Let us know what you think about the games, once you have played them a bit.

    A Link Between Worlds... I don't think I have played that one. It's not available on Switch, right? I played A Link to the Past, and read about Link Between Worlds, but haven't played it yet.

    From what I have heard, it's a pretty good game. This and A Link to the Past, are considered some of the best 2D Zelda games. So, a good one to start with.

    How are you enjoying it?

    Nice! I recently played a few matches. Trying the new maps, and it's nice to have so much more variety.

    It's a great game for playing with family and kids. Specially with the assist features. Even my little one enjoys playing it.

    That's nice! The only problem with introducing the kids to games, is that they want to take the controller even when you are playing. 😀

    Get her Yoshi's Crafted World, and Rayman Legends next, both are really fun, and not too difficult. Specially in co-op.

    You need some real skill for that. I don't even have all the stars in 100CC. Which ones do you have remaining?

    I haven't turned on my Switch during the work week, so I guess I'll keep playing Pikmin 4 and Double Dragon this weekend. I wish I had more time to play Nintendo and read 😅

    Currently playing 2 games right now. Absolutely loving them both.

    • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’ve avoided finishing the story to draw out the thematic end to the game (I know you can keep playing afterwards but I want the story ending to be my ending, it’s like saving your last bite of food to be something particular). Currently exploring, I absolutely love exploring in this game. I can’t get enough, even after hundreds of hours in BotW, I’m never gonna be sick of exploring this hyrule map. There are STILL surprises everywhere that makes it feel so very new.

    • Bayonetta 3 This shit goes so hard. I mean what the fuck. I never played 1 and 2 but the amount of creative freedom in each fight, combined with the challenge, the style oozing out of the seams of the game. The core gameplay is so tight and excellent BUT THEN YOU GOT FUCKIN KAIJU BATTLES OVER TOKYO AND THEN SUDDENTLY ITS A 2D STEALTH GAME, AND THEN IT’S A CEL SHADED PUZZLE GAME. AND THEN YOU’RE A FUCKING CHOO CHOO TRAIN. I can’t get enough.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    Completely agreed, it's a wonderful game.

    As for Bayonetta, I have only played the first one, and I have heard 2nd one (and then 3rd) improves on every single aspect of it. So going to play it sometime soon.

    Been flipping between Tears if the Kingdom and Pikmin 4 at the moment. I’ve beaten the main story in Zelda and just finding plenty of side quests to do and exploring the rest of the map. And slowly getting near the end of Pikmin. I’ve got 5 areas 100% and chipping away at the others. Then there also our weekly Smash evening on Saturday with some fellow players.

    Oracle of Ages. I never had the chance to play it before, since I didn’t have a Game Boy, but when it was announced for the Switch Online, the history and the connection between the games grabbed my attention.

    Yeah, I didn't know about the connection between games, so that seems pretty interesting.

    How are you liking the game?

    Fire Emblem Engage. I have started playing a few months ago but then dropped it when TotK came out so now I am back at it. I am nearing its completion, so if I am done fast enough I might play splatoon 3 and prep for the next splatfest.

    Back from vacations? 😀

    I have Fire Emblem: Three Houses on the pause, but want to play DQ XI first.

    Did you complete your play-through Ocarina of Time? Notice any issues? Or is the game good to play?

    Somehow still on Trails into Reverie, LMAO.

    I was planning on tackling the final dungeon during this week, but instead I ended up going go crazy with optional stuff and doing everything that was available in the Reverie Corridor.

    • Went as far into the dungeon as the game allows (midpoint of Stratum 4)
    • Tracked and scanned all missing enemies in Stratum 1-4
    • Completed all Daydreams
    • Completed all Minigames (including all Vantage Masters and Pom opponents, and even that stupid "beach date" minigame)

    Doing that alongside doing the remaining events in Crossbell took me most of the week.

    I left a save yesterday right in front of the exclamation point that triggers the continuation of the main storyline, so I'll resume this today and hopefully be done with the main story before the end of the weekend. I heard there's plenty of post-game content but I'm unsure if I'll play that right now as well or if I'll take a break.

    Oh, and the VNs I mentioned last week did indeed arrive - this is the second half of "Grisaia Phantom Trigger" and also "Little Busters", both games are japanese version but include english text, and I've already decided to start Grisaia after I'm done with Reveri.

    Been playing through Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, and I’ve gotta say, im impressed with the presentation of the game, it really makes me want to replay three houses again!

    I wasn't a mousou fan, but Age of Calamity made me love the genre. A very well made game. If Fire Emblem Warriors is anything near that, I would love to play that (once I have finished FE: Three houses, that is)

    Oracle of Ages! I finished TotK a few weeks ago and was feeling really nostalgic, and Nintendo just released the Oracle games on Switch Online, so I figured let's go!

    Zelda has come a long way since I was a kid.

    • Advance Wars really lived up to the hype. I'm on the fence about whether to pick up Advance Wars II, since I haven't 100% the first one yet.

    Edit: To clear up any confusion - yes, I'm a time traveler playing Advance Wars on my DS. I am aware of the remake with both games for Switch. I'm still deciding, but I've heard good things.

    I started and finished Metroid Dread last week. It was such a joy. Definitely my favorite in the series now (previous favorite was Metroid Fusion). I’m going to revisit Metroid Fusion and then I’ll probably replay Dread on Hard.

    Finished Dragon Quest V on the DS last night. I’m glad I pushed through because the late game was actually pretty fun. So cheeky having a character named Dr. Agon. Definitely made me laugh.

    Finally started Caligula Effect 2 recently. It took me a while to remember what I liked about the first one enough that I bought the sequel, but fighting an enemy three times your level reminded me what made the combat so great. I kinda regret not having put the game on the highest difficulty now, because it definitely shines the most when you're in mortal danger.
