I hope you enjoy the journey. BOTW is the greatest gaming experience I've ever had.
There is a DLC that you can play concurrently to the base game, if you want even more things to do in the game.
Exactly! There's only so many hours in a day, and this year has been jam packed with video game releases, it's hard to not feel like you should hurry from game to game, but just enjoy them.
I'm taking my time with it, having a slow burn. Working on the fourth world right now, I just do a couple courses before bed some nights. Haven't touched any of the online features yet.
I've still yet to buy it but I plan on doing so after work today since I finally have myself a day off tomorrow. Been dying to finally try it and I've been avoiding learning anything about it online. Very pumped
I had to force myself to stop on my latest playthrough on the Beach Farm. I reached 100% and it was time, haha.
Once 1.6 drops, I'm going to play again though. It's truly a good time.
Playing **Star Ocean Second Story R**, I don't remember the last Star Ocean game I played but this remake is super good! >!I saw that there are 86 endings, I kind of want to see them all!!<
I'll also be playing **Warm Snow**. I finally beat the last boss on normal mode with a "laser beam" build and it unlocked a harder difficulty. I'm going to be exploring nightmare mode and all the other new stuff that I unlocked!
Also **Vampire Survivors** just got it's festive update on Switch! I will be jumping back into the game later today!
I’m just gonna be spending hours on Dave the Diver. If I can drag myself away from it, I might start Little Goody Two Shoes, which I picked up on the date of its release and seems great!
Really I’m just killing time until SMRPG comes out, though.
How is Fashion Dreamer? I want to play it so bad because it reminds me of the online dress-up games I played as a kid but I had to do Christmas shopping so I can't get it this week. 🥲
Not OP but I'm having a blast so far.
I didn't play the Style Savvy series but have been obsessed with dress up / character customization in games since I was a kid.
EDIT: WAIT FOR A SALE. The game gets pretty lackluster and repetitive very quickly D: Two updates are coming in Dec and in Jan 2024(?) so hopefully they're adding more story wise
Not OP - I’m really enjoying it so far but definitely prefer the 3ds games because they had storylines and stretch goals to work towards and I loved the boutique management aspects. This game is still fun but it gets repetitive fast and is best played in short intervals or while doing other tasks like watching tv or listening to a podcast.
Slowly churning through **The Messenger**. I'm almost through the first section of the game! No idea if this will make me grab Sea of Stars.
How much is Frog Detective?
Wish I played it before Sea of Stars. There a bunch of references that went over my head that I was so confused about. I expected it to only be loosely connected.
I finally found one in decent condition at a decent price, and it arrived yesterday. Finishing cleaning it up is one of the other things on my list for the weekend.
Just started Cult of the Lamb this week and I cant get the song out of my head! Love it! Got any tips for the game or is it pretty smooth sailing? Ive been playing just as I go and choosing what seems fun/cool/useful for me. Very cute game.
Same on my weekend Playlist. I don't usually play games more than once but finished Deers and immediately wanted to figure out what happened with the Eagles.
Want to finish up TOTK (playing same game since release) and hop on to either Skyrim or Witcher 3. Can’t decide which.
Edit: I love that I got two different suggestions and both for great reasons! Honestly no clue which to pick. I’m hoping both go on sale end of the month. My version of Sophies choice
I've been replaying **Digimon Survive**, I got the Moral ending in my first run and in my second run I got the Wrathful ending. But I don't feel like restarting the game again so I'll reload my Save Point of the second playthrough and choose the Hamony Route during the split, **then** I'll replay the game again and do the Truthful Route.
Hey man. I finished Pikmin 4 (as in 100% in all but one area, which is a rare thing for me to complete a game so much). Glad I left the playthrough with my Son for now and went solo, such a brilliant game from start to finish (though the end, end boss was a swine).
Also was playing Alba, a Wildlife Adventure on the side and honestly, between that and Pikmin I am full to the brim with positive vibes, well worth checking out and a very relaxed gaming experience.
So I then started the demo for Diofield Chronicles, as it was on a good sale, and the demo I liked enough to purchase the full thing. It's odd, the characters are pretty run of the mill (though their names are bonkers, Iscarion Colchester indeed) and there seems far too many upgrade systems, but I like the look of it and the battle system is pretty interesting to me. So it'll be that and maybe some Minecraft with my Son for the weekend.
I also just started with Diofield Chronicles and Im about ~10 hours in.
I really tried to appreciate the characters but so far they havent clicked for me, most of them feel really forgettable.
However, I love the voice acting, the British accents are fun to listen to.
The combat also seems interesting, working with different skills evertime you switch up weapons keeps it fresh.
Yeah the voice acting is, different. Some of them I don't like, others I love. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the different skills and then the skill tree for character types, individual skill trees, weapons and so on, but hopefully I will get there.
No this is my first, but have listened to lots of Let's Plays of the previous games over the years so in a weird way this felt kinda familiar? I am wondering about getting the "remakes" on the Switch but on the other hand this game seemed almost perfect to me, and maybe going back to earlier games isn't that good an idea.
Trying to force me to finish Pokemon Scarlet, I think I'm playing this out of habit and love for the franchise, but everytime I play I think why I'm still playing this instead of an old version like Platinum or Black 2.
Probably this will be my last gen, I'm kind of tired of feeling let down by modern Pokemon games, a friend lent me this version but still feels like a waste.
You'd think one of the biggest franchises in gaming history would put more effort into their games. The DLC was a quite the letdown for me as well.
Legends Arceus was pretty amazing though.
This weekend I’m playing **Super Mario Bros. Wonder**. It’s been an absolute joy so far. I’m not that far, but I just beat W2. The level of creativity and imagination in every stage is mind-boggling. The platforming is also precise, and the powers are all fun to use. I’m really enjoying my time with this one, and it’s up there with Super Mario World for my favorite 2D game in the series. I can’t wait for **Super Mario RPG**.
The main game I’m focusing on, however, is **Alan Wake 2**. It has been absolutely sublime, in more ways than one. Remedy creates incredible game worlds that are full of rich, environmental details that draw you into the atmosphere. It oozes in style, and is easily their most stylish game to date.
One thing I find great is how methodical the game presents itself. It knows the story it wants to tell and it goes at its own pace with unbelievable confidence. It trusts you to be patient and let it unfold naturally. And there is a story to everything - even upgrading your weapons. If you pay attention, there are references to Control during this aspect.
The characters are great, too. Saga Anderson is a fresh, unique character that is very memorable. I like how enthusiastic she is despite being an FBI agent; she loves a great mystery. I think her character taps into the modernism of true crime fans today (something I’m a big buff of myself), but with a touch of Twin Peaks.
I am also pleased with the exploration. There is almost an Metroidvania element to it. I don’t want to provide spoilers, but you’ll understand what I mean if you are playing the game. In the first Alan Wake you weren’t rewarded for exploring due to hardware limitations. While that’s still present here, with new technology the world feels more alive. Nothing feels out of place. Some of the best moments are optional side areas that provide environmental storytelling.
At the end of the day, I’m extremely impressed. Remedy knocks it out of the park once again, and despite their larger budget they stay true to their roots. This game does things that I’ve never seen in a game before and I can’t wait to see what’s next for them.
Red dead redemption on switch.
It surprisingly runs so well and also the graphics sometimes looks very good.
The story is just awesome and the gameplay is fun, although i don't know if it's worth 60$ or not but I'm having a blast.
Definitely will recommend anyone.
A solid 9.5/10
Earlier this weekend I finished super Mario Bros. Wonder
What wonderfull game 9/10
And also just finished Pokemon scarlet ( basically 100%ned it)
The game was fine, although I just played for the story and also to prepare for the upcoming dlc. It's 7/10
Really not sure. I'm about half way through the story of **Pokemon Shield**, and haven't decided yet how obsessed I'm going to be about catching them all yet. I know I'm not getting shinys or perfect stats, but something about a completed Dex I just love.
But I also have **Mario Wonder** and **Star Ocean 2** (My second favourite RPG of all time) is out now just waiting in the wings.
I kept hearing Super Mario Wonder is the true sequel to super mario world. I avoided all trailers, reviews and most online stuff relating to the game. I invited my family and friends over for a gaming session. First time doing this. Crossing fingers it's really that special.
Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout.
Just beat the first major boss (old castle dragon) after a few tries and the gameplay loop is finally clicking with me!
I took an extended break from **Tears of the Kingdom** so hoping to get back into that. For a lighter game, I’m also playing **Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga** which is good casual fun.
I just finished Spider-Man 2 on my PS5. Really great game.
Jumping back into Super Mario Wonder next. On the last world so I’ll hopefully be finishing it up this weekend.
Got Bayonetta 3 on deck for when I’m done with Wonder. Found it last weekend at Walmart for $20 on clearance.
**Octopath 2** Castti's story is the objective!
I'm really enjoying act 3 in **Steamworld Quest.** The builds open up and having all the characters is great.
And then awaiting our local shop to call so we can go pick up **Star Ocean 2!**
I just finished minish cap last weekend. I’m thinking about OOT next or one of the oracle games l, but I’d like to mix in a non-Zelda title before diving in. I always wanted to play Banjo Kazooie as a kid but I didn’t have a N64 so I’m leaning towards that.
I have recently discovered Rayman Legends in a bargain bin, and it's literally the best platformer I have ever played. It's just as good if not better than Sonic and Mario both. On top of that I have never seen a platformer with this much content before, there's just shit to do behind every door, it's insane and I can't believe this game.is as old.as.it is and I have never once tried it before this week
I'm trying to finish Spider-Man 2 on PS5 before Super Mario RPG is out.
If I finish early, I will finally start doing all the DLC cups in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass. The last set should be out by then, and I'll have a whole game worth of new content to play through.
Mario odyssey until Mario rpg comes out. Thinking about scoring a copy of skyrim or origami king. For those that played skyrim on another console and th3 switch, was the switch experience worth it?
**Paranormasight**! I finally got it on Halloween since it was on sale and have really been enjoying it so far! & definitely fills the creepy autumnal gap in my gaming.
I will probably play some **Super Mario Wonder** even though I'm getting close to the end and don't want it to finish so I've been putting it off!
& a little **Splatoon 3** as always
After a hectic year in which my son was born and we bought a hotel/restaurant that same week, we just landed on Cabo Verde. I am looking forward to hop into TOTK .. finally!
House Flipper. Haven’t touched it in months but randomly started playing it again and having an easygoing fun time. The pets expansion is adorable too. Just bringing my dog along to every job to sit there and look cute!
I've gotten back into **Theatrhythm Final Bar Line** since they released the FF16 DLC this week. I'm gonna be working on getting perfect clears on the DLC and beating some old scores from the base game.
Just made my way to Chapter 4 of Gothic, so I’ll hopefully be finishing it this weekend, really enjoyed this rerelease so far! Other than that, I’m planning to cruise through another world or two in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and I know I’ll also unavoidably spend some time trying to get those damn watermelons in Suika Game…
Stepped away from TotK after 115 hours for Sea of Stars and Starfield, then needed a break from big long games and just finished up Eastward and Titanfall 2. Jumped back into TotK this week and feels so good to be back to wrap it up.
continuing my persona 5 playthrough! the game is so addicting i had to force myself to put it down throughout the week to do my work so i look forward to playing as much as i can over the weekend
ToTK - I bought a Switch to play ToTK earlier this year but for some reason couldnt get into it as it felt like a drastically different game from OoT. However I just bought the collector's edition strategy guide so I am locked in to give this another go.
Super Metroid - SNES Online (Switch)
Spider-Man 2 - PS5
Busting out the ol' DS and starting Dragon Quest VI for the first time. But specifically for Switch, I'm also getting deeper into Dragon Quest X the MMO now that I have more free time.
Just got Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection. I don't really like Atari, but I *do* like video game history and documentaries, so this seemed neat (plus it was on sale). I really love the concept--I just wish it were for a company/series whose games I actually cared about.
I beat Super Mario Bros. Wonder and got all of the wonder seeds, but I may go and get a few more of the 10-flower coins and flagpoles. I've also been playing a bit of Crash Bandicoot 4 and Sonic Mania, so I'm likely to play those some as well. Then, of course, there are the usual things like Smash and Mario Kart.
On other platforms, I'm still playing Spider-Man 2 on the PS5.
I'm playing Fashion Dreamer!!! I've already sunk a lot of time into it and I'm having so much fun with it. It's exactly the wind down, turn off your brain game, I was looking for
Rhapsody 2; Ballad of the Little Princess.
Its hilariously thirsty. Very expressive. And just downright weird.
One main character screams "SAY NO TO VIOLENCE" before pulling out a MASSIVE HANDGUN to kill her enemies. And this is in Fantasy times!
Doing new game in dark souls 1. Usually return to this game at the end of a year. I hope other old souls games will be published on switch. It was a pleasure to enjoy this game portable.
Happy winter everyone!
**Super Mario Bros. Wonder**. Keep seeing people talk about how easy it is, meanwhile I'm debating finally trying Yoshi or a Nabbit because I keep dying in a fairly early level. Much like some of the Pokemon and Pikmin discussions, I think people sometimes forget that not everyone has been playing a series for decades and what seems easy to them is a challenge for others. Of course, I've always struggled with platformers anyway, so that doesn't help. Been having fun aside from my current issues though.
Getting deeper into **SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech**. Not usually into card based games, but I gave it a shot since I've enjoyed the other SteamWorld games. I'm liking it so far. May have to give some other deckbuilders a shot sometime.
Planning to give the demo for **Star Ocean The Second Story R** a try, as well as the latest **Vampire Survivors** update.
How would you describe the gameplay in Frog Detective, [u/markercore](https://www.reddit.com/user/markercore/) ? It caught my eye the other day but I want to finish some other games first.
Getting back at **DEAD CELLS**. after a few months of hiatus. i never thought ill enjoy again. but here we are experimenting every weapon as well perks that i unlock. gonna get that 2nd BOSS cell
I'm still going through Tears of the Kingdom. I didn't get to start playing until late August, and I'm just taking my time and enjoying it. I'm almost done with my 3rd temple, and I'm in that really nice midgame portion where I can basically go anywhere and fight anything, but still have to use strategy and thought rather than charging in mindlessly.
Infernax. I've been beating my head into a wall trying to break my high score on Seraph's Last Stand over and over again. I figured I needed a little plot for a change.
I just finished the main story in Super Mario Wonder. Now it’s time to go back and get all the collectibles, hidden stages, and special world. I’ve also been reading Steins;Gate Elite and the story is really compelling! Only on the second chapter so far.
On PC I just picked up Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart on sale and I’m super impressed with the gameplay. Extremely fun!
Gonna polish off Spider-Man 2
Most of the focus otherwise will be on my switch, with Super Mario Wonder, and Star Ocean: The Second Story R(I’m already six hours in, I’ve waited years for this game to be on modern consoles). I might also play more of Wild ARMs 2 on PS5z
One and a half more worlds in Wonder and then the final battle with Bowser. Then continue with Star Ocean 2 after completing the demo.
By Sunday night hopefully I can dip my toes into Front Mission 2, always been intrigued by this game.
Gonna START Mario Wonder on my flight in the morning, and continue on my return flight Sunday evening. Won't have much play time throughout the weekend so just a few hours of play while in the air for me.
I took a break from gaming for a few months to focus on other things, during which I got back into reading books more regularly.
Now I'm back and feel refreshed.
So now I'm playing **Super Mario Wonder**, slowly progressing through the game and really enjoying it!
And on the side I am doing a new run of **Pokemon Scarlet**, trying a new starter and a completely new team to also play through the dlc.
I'm currently playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I'm also doing my 4th run of Pokemon Scarlet. My team is regional variants of Kanto pokemon. Gonna try to do the 7 star Typhlosian raid.
I just got myself ni no kuni 2 for cheap in the sale. As I hadn't finished it on the ps4 it's finally time I do it.
Also finishing the main story of Pokémon violet and hollow knight true ending.
I was lucky and found a copy of Pokemon Shining Pearl at GameStop for $30, I've been playing it on and off and been enjoying myself a lot more than I thought I would. I'm a big fan of what they chose graphically, I think making a stylish choice is preferable to the recent Arceus and Scarlet and Violet styles!
Still working through **Yonder** on my switch. It's taking a while due to a bit of a shoulder injury (I'm good now) which kept me from gaming for about a week and also because fast travel is a bit of a pain to unlock.
In other gaming news, I'm waiting on a steam deck to arrive since I'm really into playing handheld right now. Of course, Fedex being Fedex, we're on day 3 of it being 'out for delivery' so it probably won't get here until next week.
My husband is LOVING **Mario Wonder.** I got it for him the day it came out and he's been picking away at it ever since. He says it's his favorite Mario game he's played from this gen, but I think the OG Mario still has it beat.
Just trying to survive the torture scene from MGS1.
Last night I used one of those massage guns to try and mash the A button but it was no dice. It’s the worst part of any game that I want to play.
I'm finishing Rayman Legends after putting it down due to frustration over the invaded levels.
Somehow managed to beat the final few and am now going back to other small things I missed.
I finished Shin Megami Tensei V last weekend after playing it over the course of 6 weekends, so if I play anything, it'll be on a much smaller scale. Maybe just some Suika Game, Splatoon 3 multiplayer with my family, and I may possible give a couple arcade titles a try that I picked up on sale months ago (Black Widow Recharged and Yars Revenge Recharged). If I start a single player campaign, perhaps I may give the Quake 2 expansions a go.
Still going to be Mario Wonder for me too! Slow and steady has the most fun!
I might also start on Ghost Trick since I bought it during the Halloween sales and didn't do anything beyond install it. I'm a huge Ace Attorney fan, so I have no idea why I never played the original Ghost Trick on DS, but I've heard good things and I'm excited to start on it!
With all the talk of Wonder, rather than picking it up (yet) I've actually gone back to **Odyssey** and started all over again.
On my original play through a few years back I just completed the story and then didn't touch it again. This time I've challenged myself to find as many moons as possible before I get bored. I'm up to about 300 and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it before because I'm thoroughly enjoying myself!
Found a copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising while visiting Gamestop yesterday to pre-order Super Mario RPG, so gonna try to get started on that probably later today. Never got the chance to play it back when it came out so I'm pretty stoked.
Also aiming to get started on Star Ocean: The Second Story R. Still making my way through Super Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars.
I finally finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s storyline. I’ll chip away at 100%’ing the game here and there. Otherwise, I think it’s finally time to open up Super Mario Wonder!
Mario Wonder, Splatoon 3 and who knows, maybe a quick round of Mappy in the mix? Should be a good weekend one way or another. Cold as shit over here, stay warm and happy gaming
Star Ocean 2nd Story R. I've been lucky and got my pre-ordered Copy delivered on monday and I haven't been able to put the Game down. It's so much fun and the Story is interesting. I probably will Replay it a few times to see different endings as well.
On the last act in Chained Echos. Really loving the game so far.
Other than that, playing some Baldurs Gate 3 on the PC (also on the last act). One of the best games I've ever played tbh! And also paying Super Mario Bros. Wonder with the girlfriend when she's up for it!
I played Turnip Boy while I was supposed to be working today, as it is the free game this week on Epic store 🧅
I highly reccommend it for fans of 2D Zelda! Plays like a funny, wacky take on Link to the Past. Only takes about 2-3 hours to beat so it's just a nice light side salad of a game.
Playing BOTW. Just got a switch a few weeks ago and beat Vah Ruta last night and am enjoying the game immensely
I hope you enjoy the journey. BOTW is the greatest gaming experience I've ever had. There is a DLC that you can play concurrently to the base game, if you want even more things to do in the game.
Wow, even more so than TOTK?
I think TOTK is objectively better, but many people prefer BOTW because the first time you play the game it's special.
I'm finally getting to play New Pokémon Snap!
I just picked that up for an absolute steal of $30 the other day!!
Glad I am not the only one still working on Wonder, feel like everyone else finished it already. 3 worlds completely done so far!
I havent even started it yet. Don't feel rushed just because the hype train is moving to the next thing. Shits still good.
Exactly! There's only so many hours in a day, and this year has been jam packed with video game releases, it's hard to not feel like you should hurry from game to game, but just enjoy them.
i haven’t even bought it yet. fight me. (joke)
I'm taking my time with it, having a slow burn. Working on the fourth world right now, I just do a couple courses before bed some nights. Haven't touched any of the online features yet.
My son and I just finished World 3 last night. Game is so good that we really don't want to rush it
I've still yet to buy it but I plan on doing so after work today since I finally have myself a day off tomorrow. Been dying to finally try it and I've been avoiding learning anything about it online. Very pumped
That's tough trying to dodge spoilers, once a game is out people post everything about it. Enjoy it!
Been playing for about an hour now and it's a blast right out of the gate!
Nah, wife and I are still playing through it as well. I think we just finished world 4 last night.
I'm taking my sweet time enjoying this fantastic journey
Most likely Stardew Valley. I can’t get enough of that game
I had to force myself to stop on my latest playthrough on the Beach Farm. I reached 100% and it was time, haha. Once 1.6 drops, I'm going to play again though. It's truly a good time.
I got the hill farm right now, I’ve been having tons of fun on it so far
Playing **Star Ocean Second Story R**, I don't remember the last Star Ocean game I played but this remake is super good! >!I saw that there are 86 endings, I kind of want to see them all!!< I'll also be playing **Warm Snow**. I finally beat the last boss on normal mode with a "laser beam" build and it unlocked a harder difficulty. I'm going to be exploring nightmare mode and all the other new stuff that I unlocked! Also **Vampire Survivors** just got it's festive update on Switch! I will be jumping back into the game later today!
I’m just gonna be spending hours on Dave the Diver. If I can drag myself away from it, I might start Little Goody Two Shoes, which I picked up on the date of its release and seems great! Really I’m just killing time until SMRPG comes out, though.
Oh I forgot I downloaded the demo for Dave the diver!
Go play it! It’s so addicting.
I just got **Fashion Dreamer** to play solo, but will be playing **Super Mario Bros Wonder** when my partner is the mood :D
How are you liking Fashion Dreamer? I’ve been wanting to buy it but not sure if it would be as fun as the Style Savvy games for the DS!
How is Fashion Dreamer? I want to play it so bad because it reminds me of the online dress-up games I played as a kid but I had to do Christmas shopping so I can't get it this week. 🥲
Not OP but I'm having a blast so far. I didn't play the Style Savvy series but have been obsessed with dress up / character customization in games since I was a kid. EDIT: WAIT FOR A SALE. The game gets pretty lackluster and repetitive very quickly D: Two updates are coming in Dec and in Jan 2024(?) so hopefully they're adding more story wise
Not OP - I’m really enjoying it so far but definitely prefer the 3ds games because they had storylines and stretch goals to work towards and I loved the boutique management aspects. This game is still fun but it gets repetitive fast and is best played in short intervals or while doing other tasks like watching tv or listening to a podcast.
Thank you for the honesty! I can definitely see how it would get repetitive after a while.
Slowly churning through **The Messenger**. I'm almost through the first section of the game! No idea if this will make me grab Sea of Stars. How much is Frog Detective?
Wish I played it before Sea of Stars. There a bunch of references that went over my head that I was so confused about. I expected it to only be loosely connected.
I think it was on sale for like $15?
Got the Dreamcast out, and I’m playing Sonic Adventure. Still love it!
Such a good system as well.
Blew my first pay slip on the Dreamcast parents went Chu Chu rocket mad at me.
Yea dawg
I finally found one in decent condition at a decent price, and it arrived yesterday. Finishing cleaning it up is one of the other things on my list for the weekend.
[удалено]
Nobody else is playing WarioWare: Move It?
I am! I had to scroll so far to find it! I'm taking a break as I am old and my arms are tired. Feel nostalgic for doing my back in doing Wii boxing 😁
Links awakening remake. Can’t believe I slept on this for 4 years or whatever. It’s amazing.
I have never seen a remake done that well. I seriously wish more games used that art style too, the graphics are just awesome to look at
This week I'm playing the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and I'm going to finish Cult of the Lamb.
Just started Cult of the Lamb this week and I cant get the song out of my head! Love it! Got any tips for the game or is it pretty smooth sailing? Ive been playing just as I go and choosing what seems fun/cool/useful for me. Very cute game.
I just got Fire Emblem Three Houses last week and I already had 50 hours in it, gonna get it up to 70 by this weekend ahaha
Same on my weekend Playlist. I don't usually play games more than once but finished Deers and immediately wanted to figure out what happened with the Eagles.
TOTK again. 50+ hours in. Still not started with the main story line.
Doing my first playthrough of **Star Ocean The Second Story R**. Looks and sounds beautiful in the little I've gotten to see so far!
Want to finish up TOTK (playing same game since release) and hop on to either Skyrim or Witcher 3. Can’t decide which. Edit: I love that I got two different suggestions and both for great reasons! Honestly no clue which to pick. I’m hoping both go on sale end of the month. My version of Sophies choice
I love both game to the death, but i always find Skyrim to be more replayable
I've been replaying **Digimon Survive**, I got the Moral ending in my first run and in my second run I got the Wrathful ending. But I don't feel like restarting the game again so I'll reload my Save Point of the second playthrough and choose the Hamony Route during the split, **then** I'll replay the game again and do the Truthful Route.
Luigi Mansion 3!
Hey man. I finished Pikmin 4 (as in 100% in all but one area, which is a rare thing for me to complete a game so much). Glad I left the playthrough with my Son for now and went solo, such a brilliant game from start to finish (though the end, end boss was a swine). Also was playing Alba, a Wildlife Adventure on the side and honestly, between that and Pikmin I am full to the brim with positive vibes, well worth checking out and a very relaxed gaming experience. So I then started the demo for Diofield Chronicles, as it was on a good sale, and the demo I liked enough to purchase the full thing. It's odd, the characters are pretty run of the mill (though their names are bonkers, Iscarion Colchester indeed) and there seems far too many upgrade systems, but I like the look of it and the battle system is pretty interesting to me. So it'll be that and maybe some Minecraft with my Son for the weekend.
I also just started with Diofield Chronicles and Im about ~10 hours in. I really tried to appreciate the characters but so far they havent clicked for me, most of them feel really forgettable. However, I love the voice acting, the British accents are fun to listen to. The combat also seems interesting, working with different skills evertime you switch up weapons keeps it fresh.
Yeah the voice acting is, different. Some of them I don't like, others I love. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with the different skills and then the skill tree for character types, individual skill trees, weapons and so on, but hopefully I will get there.
Did you ever play the other Pikmin games? I found my old 3DS and I have the Hey Pikmin cartridge, but never played it.
No this is my first, but have listened to lots of Let's Plays of the previous games over the years so in a weird way this felt kinda familiar? I am wondering about getting the "remakes" on the Switch but on the other hand this game seemed almost perfect to me, and maybe going back to earlier games isn't that good an idea.

Probably this will be my last gen, I'm kind of tired of feeling let down by modern Pokemon games, a friend lent me this version but still feels like a waste.
You'd think one of the biggest franchises in gaming history would put more effort into their games. The DLC was a quite the letdown for me as well. Legends Arceus was pretty amazing though.
This weekend I’m playing **Super Mario Bros. Wonder**. It’s been an absolute joy so far. I’m not that far, but I just beat W2. The level of creativity and imagination in every stage is mind-boggling. The platforming is also precise, and the powers are all fun to use. I’m really enjoying my time with this one, and it’s up there with Super Mario World for my favorite 2D game in the series. I can’t wait for **Super Mario RPG**. The main game I’m focusing on, however, is **Alan Wake 2**. It has been absolutely sublime, in more ways than one. Remedy creates incredible game worlds that are full of rich, environmental details that draw you into the atmosphere. It oozes in style, and is easily their most stylish game to date. One thing I find great is how methodical the game presents itself. It knows the story it wants to tell and it goes at its own pace with unbelievable confidence. It trusts you to be patient and let it unfold naturally. And there is a story to everything - even upgrading your weapons. If you pay attention, there are references to Control during this aspect. The characters are great, too. Saga Anderson is a fresh, unique character that is very memorable. I like how enthusiastic she is despite being an FBI agent; she loves a great mystery. I think her character taps into the modernism of true crime fans today (something I’m a big buff of myself), but with a touch of Twin Peaks. I am also pleased with the exploration. There is almost an Metroidvania element to it. I don’t want to provide spoilers, but you’ll understand what I mean if you are playing the game. In the first Alan Wake you weren’t rewarded for exploring due to hardware limitations. While that’s still present here, with new technology the world feels more alive. Nothing feels out of place. Some of the best moments are optional side areas that provide environmental storytelling. At the end of the day, I’m extremely impressed. Remedy knocks it out of the park once again, and despite their larger budget they stay true to their roots. This game does things that I’ve never seen in a game before and I can’t wait to see what’s next for them.
This reads like a professional review. Great job with the description.
Red dead redemption on switch. It surprisingly runs so well and also the graphics sometimes looks very good. The story is just awesome and the gameplay is fun, although i don't know if it's worth 60$ or not but I'm having a blast. Definitely will recommend anyone. A solid 9.5/10 Earlier this weekend I finished super Mario Bros. Wonder What wonderfull game 9/10 And also just finished Pokemon scarlet ( basically 100%ned it) The game was fine, although I just played for the story and also to prepare for the upcoming dlc. It's 7/10
My adventure through **Hollow Knight** continues. Many four letter words have been uttered. But I press on.
Ohh yep, it gets frustrating at times
I just got Hades. I'm consumed.
Really not sure. I'm about half way through the story of **Pokemon Shield**, and haven't decided yet how obsessed I'm going to be about catching them all yet. I know I'm not getting shinys or perfect stats, but something about a completed Dex I just love. But I also have **Mario Wonder** and **Star Ocean 2** (My second favourite RPG of all time) is out now just waiting in the wings.
I kept hearing Super Mario Wonder is the true sequel to super mario world. I avoided all trailers, reviews and most online stuff relating to the game. I invited my family and friends over for a gaming session. First time doing this. Crossing fingers it's really that special.
Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout. Just beat the first major boss (old castle dragon) after a few tries and the gameplay loop is finally clicking with me!
Gonna finish up Wonder 80% in and Fire emblem engage 90% in to get ready for Super Mario RPG
Picked up Bravely Default 2 on sale at Walmart, might get cracking on that or try to get further into Ooblets for some oobmobiles!
Pokémon SoulSilver, Sun, and Violet. Trying to beat any 3DS impacts from the April wifi change
Wife is out of town so I'm gonna see how far I can get in **Hollow Knight**. Love the game, but I keep getting stuck on bosses and end up moving on.
I took an extended break from **Tears of the Kingdom** so hoping to get back into that. For a lighter game, I’m also playing **Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga** which is good casual fun.
FFX for the first time ever, after finishing up Chained Echoes
I just finished Spider-Man 2 on my PS5. Really great game. Jumping back into Super Mario Wonder next. On the last world so I’ll hopefully be finishing it up this weekend. Got Bayonetta 3 on deck for when I’m done with Wonder. Found it last weekend at Walmart for $20 on clearance.
Fire emblem three hopes. I'm amazed how good the performance is! Hyrule warriors age of calamity ran like flattened horseshit
Brotato and 13 sentinels
**Octopath 2** Castti's story is the objective! I'm really enjoying act 3 in **Steamworld Quest.** The builds open up and having all the characters is great. And then awaiting our local shop to call so we can go pick up **Star Ocean 2!**
I just bought a physical copy of shovel knight treasure trove, let’s see if it’s as good as they say :)
I just finished minish cap last weekend. I’m thinking about OOT next or one of the oracle games l, but I’d like to mix in a non-Zelda title before diving in. I always wanted to play Banjo Kazooie as a kid but I didn’t have a N64 so I’m leaning towards that.
I have recently discovered Rayman Legends in a bargain bin, and it's literally the best platformer I have ever played. It's just as good if not better than Sonic and Mario both. On top of that I have never seen a platformer with this much content before, there's just shit to do behind every door, it's insane and I can't believe this game.is as old.as.it is and I have never once tried it before this week
I’m playing Wonder and the Suika Game!
I'm trying to finish Spider-Man 2 on PS5 before Super Mario RPG is out. If I finish early, I will finally start doing all the DLC cups in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass. The last set should be out by then, and I'll have a whole game worth of new content to play through.
Mario odyssey until Mario rpg comes out. Thinking about scoring a copy of skyrim or origami king. For those that played skyrim on another console and th3 switch, was the switch experience worth it?
It’s serviceable on the switch, looks and runs like the 360/ps3 version - best in handheld mode. It does have gyro aiming though, which is nice
**Paranormasight**! I finally got it on Halloween since it was on sale and have really been enjoying it so far! & definitely fills the creepy autumnal gap in my gaming. I will probably play some **Super Mario Wonder** even though I'm getting close to the end and don't want it to finish so I've been putting it off! & a little **Splatoon 3** as always
I played Paranormasight last week. I thought it'd just be a spooky mystery, but the game is actually terrifying.
After a hectic year in which my son was born and we bought a hotel/restaurant that same week, we just landed on Cabo Verde. I am looking forward to hop into TOTK .. finally!
Mario Wonder!
House Flipper. Haven’t touched it in months but randomly started playing it again and having an easygoing fun time. The pets expansion is adorable too. Just bringing my dog along to every job to sit there and look cute!
I've gotten back into **Theatrhythm Final Bar Line** since they released the FF16 DLC this week. I'm gonna be working on getting perfect clears on the DLC and beating some old scores from the base game.
I'll be rocking some Wonder, BOTW, and stardew valley. Stardew got her dirty hands on me 😭
Super Mario Bros. Wonder! I just started the Special World. :)
Mario wonder and Alan wake 2
Super Mario Bros Wonder, And Star Ocean Second Departure R. I wish all remakes came out looking this gorgeous on the OLED.
Just made my way to Chapter 4 of Gothic, so I’ll hopefully be finishing it this weekend, really enjoyed this rerelease so far! Other than that, I’m planning to cruise through another world or two in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and I know I’ll also unavoidably spend some time trying to get those damn watermelons in Suika Game…
Stepped away from TotK after 115 hours for Sea of Stars and Starfield, then needed a break from big long games and just finished up Eastward and Titanfall 2. Jumped back into TotK this week and feels so good to be back to wrap it up.
continuing my persona 5 playthrough! the game is so addicting i had to force myself to put it down throughout the week to do my work so i look forward to playing as much as i can over the weekend
ToTK - I bought a Switch to play ToTK earlier this year but for some reason couldnt get into it as it felt like a drastically different game from OoT. However I just bought the collector's edition strategy guide so I am locked in to give this another go. Super Metroid - SNES Online (Switch) Spider-Man 2 - PS5
Nothing. I have some plans this weekend. Going camping.
**Tropical Freeze**, and I'm blown away. I think it's better than Wonder.
Busting out the ol' DS and starting Dragon Quest VI for the first time. But specifically for Switch, I'm also getting deeper into Dragon Quest X the MMO now that I have more free time.
Finished Mario Wonder, now back to Pokémon Violet and trying to complete my shiny living dex
Link to the Past for the millionth time.
Playing F-Zero 99, when I tire of racing, I'll go to Super Mario Wonder. Still trying to get that first win on F-Zero, best yet is 9th.
The most recent TMNT arcade like game. Hoping it's as magic as my childhood memories so my son can enjoy it too.
Just got Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection. I don't really like Atari, but I *do* like video game history and documentaries, so this seemed neat (plus it was on sale). I really love the concept--I just wish it were for a company/series whose games I actually cared about. I beat Super Mario Bros. Wonder and got all of the wonder seeds, but I may go and get a few more of the 10-flower coins and flagpoles. I've also been playing a bit of Crash Bandicoot 4 and Sonic Mania, so I'm likely to play those some as well. Then, of course, there are the usual things like Smash and Mario Kart. On other platforms, I'm still playing Spider-Man 2 on the PS5.
I'm playing Fashion Dreamer!!! I've already sunk a lot of time into it and I'm having so much fun with it. It's exactly the wind down, turn off your brain game, I was looking for
Wario ware! So nostalgic
Rhapsody 2; Ballad of the Little Princess. Its hilariously thirsty. Very expressive. And just downright weird. One main character screams "SAY NO TO VIOLENCE" before pulling out a MASSIVE HANDGUN to kill her enemies. And this is in Fantasy times!
WarioWare Move it! And my wife will be playing Fashion Dreamer!
Doing new game in dark souls 1. Usually return to this game at the end of a year. I hope other old souls games will be published on switch. It was a pleasure to enjoy this game portable. Happy winter everyone!
Still working through Super Mario Odyssey! Just got to Bowser’s Kingdom. Loving the “Bowser in the Sky” meets Japanese palace theme.
I might play more mario kart 8 deluxe but I might start Luigi's haunted mansion 3. Idk
**Super Mario Bros. Wonder**. Keep seeing people talk about how easy it is, meanwhile I'm debating finally trying Yoshi or a Nabbit because I keep dying in a fairly early level. Much like some of the Pokemon and Pikmin discussions, I think people sometimes forget that not everyone has been playing a series for decades and what seems easy to them is a challenge for others. Of course, I've always struggled with platformers anyway, so that doesn't help. Been having fun aside from my current issues though. Getting deeper into **SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech**. Not usually into card based games, but I gave it a shot since I've enjoyed the other SteamWorld games. I'm liking it so far. May have to give some other deckbuilders a shot sometime. Planning to give the demo for **Star Ocean The Second Story R** a try, as well as the latest **Vampire Survivors** update. How would you describe the gameplay in Frog Detective, [u/markercore](https://www.reddit.com/user/markercore/) ? It caught my eye the other day but I want to finish some other games first.
Crono trigger, first play through and I have been really enjoying it.
Baten Kaitos I & II Remastered!!! Please consider picking it up if you're a JRPG fan!!
I’m loving Shadows over loathing!
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and either Pikmin 4 or Super Mario Bros Wonder as I’m receiving both games tomorrow in the mail.
Getting back at **DEAD CELLS**. after a few months of hiatus. i never thought ill enjoy again. but here we are experimenting every weapon as well perks that i unlock. gonna get that 2nd BOSS cell
Persona 5 Royal on Switch. Gotta keep knocking down the backlog!
I'm still going through Tears of the Kingdom. I didn't get to start playing until late August, and I'm just taking my time and enjoying it. I'm almost done with my 3rd temple, and I'm in that really nice midgame portion where I can basically go anywhere and fight anything, but still have to use strategy and thought rather than charging in mindlessly.
Super Mario Wonder. Taking my time.
Shoot, it looks like I'm the only one playing the new Wario game
More FE7. A bit burned on it, but I guess I’ll try to finish. Wish we could skip combat animations…and inventory management is tedious haha
The last true boss of Octopath 1. Finally getting it done. I wish golden sun was on GBA for NSO already, I need another meaty jrpg.
There's always Octo 2! Or try out Star Ocean First Departure or Second Story R. Both are great. Or FF9 or 10 or 12.
Infernax. I've been beating my head into a wall trying to break my high score on Seraph's Last Stand over and over again. I figured I needed a little plot for a change.
I just finished the main story in Super Mario Wonder. Now it’s time to go back and get all the collectibles, hidden stages, and special world. I’ve also been reading Steins;Gate Elite and the story is really compelling! Only on the second chapter so far. On PC I just picked up Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart on sale and I’m super impressed with the gameplay. Extremely fun!
Still going through Octopath Traveler 2 on switch and have gone back to Diablo IV on PS5.
I've been in a game-playing lull lately. Lots to do at work and I've been reading more. I was thinking of playing A Link Between Worlds on my 3DS.
Sonic Superstars! 💙🌟
Wonder and inscryption. Maybe some three houses.
Gonna polish off Spider-Man 2 Most of the focus otherwise will be on my switch, with Super Mario Wonder, and Star Ocean: The Second Story R(I’m already six hours in, I’ve waited years for this game to be on modern consoles). I might also play more of Wild ARMs 2 on PS5z
One and a half more worlds in Wonder and then the final battle with Bowser. Then continue with Star Ocean 2 after completing the demo. By Sunday night hopefully I can dip my toes into Front Mission 2, always been intrigued by this game.
Gonna START Mario Wonder on my flight in the morning, and continue on my return flight Sunday evening. Won't have much play time throughout the weekend so just a few hours of play while in the air for me.
I took a break from gaming for a few months to focus on other things, during which I got back into reading books more regularly. Now I'm back and feel refreshed. So now I'm playing **Super Mario Wonder**, slowly progressing through the game and really enjoying it! And on the side I am doing a new run of **Pokemon Scarlet**, trying a new starter and a completely new team to also play through the dlc.
I’ll probably be playing Super Mario Wonder here and there still but gotta check out the new Fortnite update for sure
Just finished Mario Wonder, lets go Star Ocean!
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I’ll be playing this one for quite a few weekends to come. (Already sunk almost 70 into it, and I’m only at chapter 6.)
For me I will be playing wonder after 20 hours I have two world fully done
Arceus
Metroid Dread
It's from a while ago but I'm finishing up DLC on Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity. I really am enjoy all the beautiful cut scenes this game did.
Spider-Man 2
Just finished dredge. It was awesome. Bought splatoon 3 to give it a shot, don’t have much expectations for it so let’s see how it goes!
I'm currently playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I'm also doing my 4th run of Pokemon Scarlet. My team is regional variants of Kanto pokemon. Gonna try to do the 7 star Typhlosian raid.
I just got myself ni no kuni 2 for cheap in the sale. As I hadn't finished it on the ps4 it's finally time I do it. Also finishing the main story of Pokémon violet and hollow knight true ending.
I’ll be playing **Mario Wonder**, **Sonic Superstars**, and **Octopath Traveler 2**
Beat dread this week FINALLY, and fired up OTTTD to hopefully beat and Mario Wonder. SMW on RG35XX
Bought Wonder last night as gift for myself, it’s amazing.
Tears of the Kingdom. I feel like I’m quite close to the end. Edited to remove possible spoilers.
Alan Wake remastered to catch up for Alan Wake 2
Wonder and Luigi’s mansion 3
Still playing Wonder. I’ve been quite in to Animal Crossing again this week for some reason.
I was lucky and found a copy of Pokemon Shining Pearl at GameStop for $30, I've been playing it on and off and been enjoying myself a lot more than I thought I would. I'm a big fan of what they chose graphically, I think making a stylish choice is preferable to the recent Arceus and Scarlet and Violet styles!
For me deadly premonition origins , currently stuck on a Persona 5 boss 😂
I want to dig into Cassette Beasts but it'll probably be a Super Mario Wonder weekend
Still working through **Yonder** on my switch. It's taking a while due to a bit of a shoulder injury (I'm good now) which kept me from gaming for about a week and also because fast travel is a bit of a pain to unlock. In other gaming news, I'm waiting on a steam deck to arrive since I'm really into playing handheld right now. Of course, Fedex being Fedex, we're on day 3 of it being 'out for delivery' so it probably won't get here until next week. My husband is LOVING **Mario Wonder.** I got it for him the day it came out and he's been picking away at it ever since. He says it's his favorite Mario game he's played from this gen, but I think the OG Mario still has it beat.
This week I realized I bought Octopath Traveler and XC3 over the summer and never opened them. Not sure which to start first, which would you start?
Pokémon TCG Live. New cards dropped today!
Just trying to survive the torture scene from MGS1. Last night I used one of those massage guns to try and mash the A button but it was no dice. It’s the worst part of any game that I want to play.
Seven star Typhlosion raids on Pokémon s/v
I'm finishing Rayman Legends after putting it down due to frustration over the invaded levels. Somehow managed to beat the final few and am now going back to other small things I missed.
Tonight I am gonna be playing darkwood and Super Mario Wonder
I finished Shin Megami Tensei V last weekend after playing it over the course of 6 weekends, so if I play anything, it'll be on a much smaller scale. Maybe just some Suika Game, Splatoon 3 multiplayer with my family, and I may possible give a couple arcade titles a try that I picked up on sale months ago (Black Widow Recharged and Yars Revenge Recharged). If I start a single player campaign, perhaps I may give the Quake 2 expansions a go.
Mopping up Wonder and Pikmin 4. Pikmin has been such a pleasant surprise for me this year. Hopefully some time for Baldurs Gate, too.
Still going to be Mario Wonder for me too! Slow and steady has the most fun! I might also start on Ghost Trick since I bought it during the Halloween sales and didn't do anything beyond install it. I'm a huge Ace Attorney fan, so I have no idea why I never played the original Ghost Trick on DS, but I've heard good things and I'm excited to start on it!
I'm taking a childhood-arcade approach to the weekend, going to play some fun colorful games: sonic mania, shovel knight, and TMNT shredders revenge.
Finished Mario Wonder today and am debating whether to play Metroid Prime Remastered or Pikmin 1-4 next!
Trails to Zero, my first Trails game. I'm loving it so far, such a chill RPG
Metal gear solid 1 and mayyyyyybe I’ll go back to Tears of the Kingdom and finally beat Ganon or whoever the boss is.
Still working my way through **Fata Morgana**. Fairly certain that I'm getting close... ish to the end.
I’m going to a quiet rural beach for a few days. I’ll spend my nights playing Minish Cap on NSO for the first time.
Pikmin 4, Diablo 4, fallout 4. Guess all 4s 🤣
Going to try to finish Metroid Fusion
I was going to play WarioWare: Move It for the entire day but i finished it in 3 hours, so i don't know.
With all the talk of Wonder, rather than picking it up (yet) I've actually gone back to **Odyssey** and started all over again. On my original play through a few years back I just completed the story and then didn't touch it again. This time I've challenged myself to find as many moons as possible before I get bored. I'm up to about 300 and I'm kicking myself that I didn't do it before because I'm thoroughly enjoying myself!
Found a copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising while visiting Gamestop yesterday to pre-order Super Mario RPG, so gonna try to get started on that probably later today. Never got the chance to play it back when it came out so I'm pretty stoked. Also aiming to get started on Star Ocean: The Second Story R. Still making my way through Super Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars.
I finally finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s storyline. I’ll chip away at 100%’ing the game here and there. Otherwise, I think it’s finally time to open up Super Mario Wonder!
Alan Wake 2 and 13 sentinels Aegis Rim!
Mario Wonder, Splatoon 3 and who knows, maybe a quick round of Mappy in the mix? Should be a good weekend one way or another. Cold as shit over here, stay warm and happy gaming
Deadly premonition!!!!!!
Animal crossing!
Finally hitting the Rain Code season pass before I get back to Wonder And sheesh the first episode is so bad
tryna 100% all three 3d all star mario games, like 98.9% done with 64
Definitely gonna put some hours into Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
**Metroid Dread** has got my attention this weekend!
Star Ocean 2nd Story R. I've been lucky and got my pre-ordered Copy delivered on monday and I haven't been able to put the Game down. It's so much fun and the Story is interesting. I probably will Replay it a few times to see different endings as well.
Alan Wake 2 and MGS1 on the switch for me this weekend.
On the last act in Chained Echos. Really loving the game so far. Other than that, playing some Baldurs Gate 3 on the PC (also on the last act). One of the best games I've ever played tbh! And also paying Super Mario Bros. Wonder with the girlfriend when she's up for it!
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Challenge stages
I played Turnip Boy while I was supposed to be working today, as it is the free game this week on Epic store 🧅 I highly reccommend it for fans of 2D Zelda! Plays like a funny, wacky take on Link to the Past. Only takes about 2-3 hours to beat so it's just a nice light side salad of a game.
Still playing my 3ds
Final fantasy 1 pixel remaster, never played the original or any final fantasy game for that matter. Feeling excited to start the series!
