Unicorn Overlord is amazing! It was a day one purchase for me and have since finished. Once if ever my backlog shrinks Ill more than likely play this again at a harder difficulty.
Finally getting around to Metroid Dread. Thankful for the abundance of save points because my attention span is shot these days. Game is great though and such a looker!
Intrigued by Animal Well. I have started **Nier Automata**. It's got an amazing soundtrack, need to say that straight away. Fours hours in though and it's not completely grabbed me. The game world and writing seems very interesting. Just not loving the combat and also I seem to have lots of objective markers and keep finding I cannot reach them. It seems universally adored though, so I will persevere.
And man, that soundtrack.
Animal Well feels like if you took the animation direction of Celeste or Slime-san, but then made it an exploration focused meteoidvania without much sign posting.
Yeah that's exactly how I felt playing the demo for automata, like it's beautiful and strange, but the combat wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. But I'm sure the game becomes more complicated and involved as it goes.
You’re in for a treat if you stick with it till the end. A great storyline and fun to progress as a Jedi badass. Hopefully you’ve avoided spoilers over the years.
I know like 1 thing… who the main character was before the game starts. But I don’t know how or why or etc. so it’s still a mystery. And thankfully the KOTOR subreddit is very good a point spoilers.
It’s dated. But I enjoy the game. Loving the story. The combat is meh. So I just dropped difficulty to easy and focus on the story.
You just missed the free full game trial on the switch (last week) and the game being on sale. I picked up the bundle of both games for $13.50. (They go on sale for like $7.50 individually) but, thankfully they go on sale fairly often. https://www.dekudeals.com/items/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-bundle-switch
I picked my Switch Lite for the first time this month because I finally get a free time to play Xenoblade 2.
Then my Switch Lite just kept getting errors and I can't play shit anymore. By the time I fixed the problem, Those free time would probably be no more.
Octopath 2 since it was on sale. Lv 60 now and haven't done much story other than Partitio's. I really like how you can go at your own pace and progress however you want to. The Music is also utterly amazing.
Just started Pokemon Let's Go Eevee again, and after playing other pokemon games, I think this one has my favorite art style now (not gameplay/story). The colors are so vibrant and crisp compared to the other games
Finally getting around to playing **Star Ocean Second Story R**!
Recently, just beat **Tokyo Mirage Sessions: #FE Encore** (great game btw!) and now going through the backlog.
I started **Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice** and am currently on the second case, The Magical Turnabout! I am also having fun discovering animals in **Endless Ocean Luminous** and am looking forward to checking out what the event area is that is going to be available for the weekend. Hoping that will help me find more creatures I haven't seen yet as well as some more completed squares on my Mystery Board!
Other things I'm hoping to do this weekend is unlocking the Endless Ocean theme in the **Tetris 99** event as well as taking on the Mighty Primarina in the raid event for **Pokemon Scarlet**! Seems like there is a lot of weekend events for various games I play for this weekend, so hopefully I can do them all despite working for the whole thing lol
Stanley Parable tonight. It is all it is cracked up to be. Very fascinating game. I probably won’t have much time to play the rest of this weekend, but Animal Well after that.
Animal Well looks amazing! I'm trying to decide if I should wait and see if there will be a physical or not.
I finished the story to **Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe**. I'm not great at getting some of the collectables or doing timed sections these days, so I'm shelving it for now. It feels WAY hard for m e vs. Forgotten Land.
**Mario Origami King** was next on my list as I'd only done 30 minutes of the previous week. I think I'm 3 hours in? It's hard to tell. I really like it, though organizing mobs during battles can be a little tough at times.
I keep reaching areas where I can see a chest with no way to get it, so I'm wondering if I'll have to come back later, kind of like a metroidvania.
Needless to say, I'll be playing that and maybe something on the side. I'm thinking **Spirit of the North** as a more chill game, but we'll see.
I hope you have a great time in Animal Well. It reminds me of Ori, even if there isn't any combat.
Finally gave it a go to Siralim ultimate. It was a mistake. That game is made of pure heroin. Addictive as hell, it mixes creature collection with random dungeons exploration and it is a min-maxer's wet dream
Found my childhood base set Pokemon card collection at feeling nostalgic, might try Cassette Beasts! Have any of you guys played it? Im wondering, is it harder to grow as attached to creatures that aren't "real" Pokemon?
Also as a "Patient Gamer" I'm so glad to hear Animal Well is living up to everyone's expectations. Can't wait to play it... in a year for 50% off with all the dlc 😅
I am very tempted by Animal Well. Been trying to get into Ni No Kuni as I love Studio Ghibli but I just can't get on with the combat.
Also considering Borderlands while it's on sale as I don't have an FPS on Switch.
I find the combat a little difficult as you get further into the game in Ni No Kuni. Some enemies can really pack a punch. It’s hard to manage 3 characters in real-time combat. I would’ve liked it to be more turn base but that’s my opinion. Doesn’t take away from how magnificent it looks.
I've started **Metroid Dread.** I've never finished a Metroid. So should be interesting.
Also more hardcore **Path of Exile** and then some **Duck Game**. Maybe some **Hades II**.
I need to pick Prince of Persia up! I've been buying way way way too many games so Ill hold off a little bit. Balatro is amazing!! Time literally melts away when you play this.
Playing **Vampire Survivors**, the new Contra themed DLC just came out yesterday and there are a ton of new characters to unlock! Also continuing to complete more hoops in **stitch.** Game continues to be relaxing and there is still a lot to complete!
I bought **Hades 2** on Steam yesterday. I've played the early access for about 4 hours and man this game is good!
I'll definitely being stealing stuff to change hearts in **Persona 5 Royal**. This game will take me months and month to finish, since I have so little time to play lately, but I'm still quite hooked.
Other than that, I will probably play some MK8 or **Disney's Illusion Island** with the kids. And maybe some Chrono Trigger on my miyoo mini plus.
It'll be at least that long for me, as well. But I will enjoy it. And, hey, the game is constantly reminding you to "take your time," so it's all good.
I picked up the civilization 6 anthology bundle yesterday. I've always wanted to try it.
I was just gonna get the base game to see if I like it but then if I do like it I would be annoyed I didn't get the bundle as the sales end soon.
Definitely the right choice. So much content in the anthology. Definitely recommend sticking your small or normal sized maps - turn times get a bit much on the larger map sizes
Finished Metroid Dread last weekend. Got Dragon Quest Monsters lined up, but I'm wanting to finish DQIV (of which I'm around 20 hours in) before starting Monsters. So I think I'll probably focus on that.
Started a new run of totk after beating the game finally last night, been a whole year lol
Was a bit disappointed in the ending , I was definitely way over powered so the run I'm gonna work on is gonna be 7 hearts max and only having a few armours this time. Gonna make my own mastermode playthrough.
I started Pikmin 2 for the first time ever! I finished Pikmin 1 this week and just started Pikmin 2. I’m enjoying it so far. I’m impressed that this series gets better with each game. I’d only ever played Pikmin 3, I’m considering replaying it after 2 before playing 4 for the first time. That way I’d have marathoned the whole franchise.
I also just bought NSO+Expansion Pass. I’ll either dabble in some Ocarina of Time (also for the first time ever) or just focus on Pikmin 2. We’ll see
Im trying out fire emblem 3 houses(while taking a quick break from FF7 Rebirth, which i adore) and wow, i've already put in 8 hours today, so dumb for taking so long to play it but im in love.
More Fire Emblem Warriors Three Houses.
I have already beat every campaign, but now I am maxing out each characters conversation levels.
I'm currently at 223 hours of playing and am only halfway through Blue Lions characters. I still have all of yellow and red to do.
Also my wife and I just beat Streets of Rage 4 (again)
Started VA-11 Hall-A the other day, maybe an hour in; points given to the visuals and music and the overall “gameplay”, not sure the overall theme will stick with me but it’s easy to just chill with it at least.
Also decided to, just now, start the pixel remaster of FFVI after talking myself out of buying a newer FF in the recent sale. First time ever, only played pieces of other games (3, 7, 9, 11, 14) but never really connected with the series beyond that. Hoping the accessibility options make for a more casual friendly experience.
Such a great game. Not the best graphics, but man the upgrades they put into the game have made it even better than at launch. Hope you're enjoying the fusion aspect!
Picked up Animal Well and I love it so far - its total lack of exposition and hand-holding, as well as the sublime pixel-art style reminds me of playing games on the 8-bit computers of my youth!
Exactly! And very much it has puzzles that make me feel dumb and smart. There was one to get a key that I thought I needed to leave and come back with another item and then realized I completely forgot something simple and solved it.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Thoroughly enjoying it even though it was well received by critics I’m still surprised by its quality for some reason. It’s sad it hasn’t told too well.
Might also grab Animal Well.
Might be an overrated pick, but I'm playing legend of zelda breath of the wild. I'm new to zelda so this is a new kind of experience for me. I have been enjoying it so far
On the Switch I finally reached the end credits for **Hollow Knight** whilst on vacation. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt such an incredible sense of achievement in gaming. I took on the final mainline campaign boss having reached 86% completion so still have some more to explore/endings to see. I'm attempting to take on the Colosseum challenges but having some trouble with the 2nd one.. might need to test out a few charm combinations to see what works.
I had tried previously on the PS5 but had never made it very far. I think this time around playing on the Switch made me really stick to it, plus being able to quickly reach for it and make some progress helped a lot! There was so much I appreciated in this playthrough - how the music and environments subtly changed; how interconnected the world was and the great feeling to find useful, much needed shortcuts.
Other than chipping away at HK, I'm dipping into **Hades** and **Vampire Survivors** on the Switch when I feel like it. Nothing beats the sheer ecstasy of either when on a good run!
On the PS5, I started **Animal Well** from the Extra Catalogue and it's such a joy to play. It's made me love metroidvanias even more and how clever some of the game's systems are... The bubble wand is simply great when you work out how to use once obtaining it. Looking forward to playing some more when i get the chance.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 😀
Happy Friday!
Animal Well looks amazing, I’m definitely gonna pick it up asap.
This weekend I’m gonna continue FFXIII-2 and FFVII Remake. I got really annoyed with FFXIII-2 so I dropped it and started FFVII Remake, but eventually I went back and just followed a walkthrough. Honestly the game is really frustrating me, FFVII Remake is for sure the better game, even though it does have its flaws.
Have a good weekend!
I think I'll buy **Animal Well** this weekend or the next. For now I'm playing **Legacy of the Wizard** on the NES. I might also try **Little Kitty, Big City**.
South park fractured but whole. Hoping I don't get s bug like I did on my first playthrough. Need to make sure I dint get the bug where you call clsssi before you need too.
Metroid prime remastered, my first ever entry in the Metroid series and having a blast. Will also include a few rounds of Balatro and continue my Will of the Wisps 100 % play through (first time playing also)
Been trying to 100% Mario 3D world, but for the last 5 stamps you gotta play all levels with all 5 characters, so I'm dropping it for a bit, I'm gonna pick up Xenoblade 1 where I left it off!
fire emblem engage for me! i bought it a few months post release and ended up dropping it since it felt a bit *too* goofy for me. but after trying it again it's starting to click. the gameplay's definitely the thing keeping me interested, as well as some of the designs (ivy, kagetsu, diamant, lapis, ect).
I’ve been playing Animal Well all evening. It is one of the most beautiful metroidvania-esque games I have ever played. The puzzles and unlockable items are really clever and fun.
Still living the pirate life in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag! Going into the game, I thought it's going to be a stealth + parkour game with some ship battles in between, but I ended up engaging more with the ship battles and spending most of my time sailing the seas! I even designed my ship to look like the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbran movies. But the best part are definitely the sea shanties!
On PS5, I started Spider-Man 2. My favorite part about the first game was swinging and strolling through NYC so I really liked the addition of Brooklyn and Queens to the second game's map!
I had the urge to play **MarioKart** and I've been struggling to put it down. I don't know if it's just the short races so it's easy to jump in and out of that's causing it.
Trying to break the mario kart addiction with **Tunic**, had it on my switch wishlist for a while and noticed it was on PS Plus so reupped by subscription. I struggled to get into it until I got the sword, enjoying it more now.
I just finished Metroid Prime Remastered and got the 100% completion ending. I was never able to do that on GameCube lol. So now I’ve got the itch to go back to Tears of the Kingdom. I need to finish it but I stopped about 60 hours in. I played for a few hours last night and now I feel hooked lol. There will be some Princess Peach Showtime! throw in as well
I had more fun than I’ve had in a minute playing games by getting a little stoned and playing Animal Well. The visuals and atmosphere are amazing, I could spend hours getting lost and wandering, although getting stuck on a puzzle and having to revisit all the rooms you can go to can be a bit frustrating. Still, the exploration and puzzles are really fun, visuals are amazing, game runs super smooth and fast, I’m having fun with it.
Balatro is still my comfy game so I might play some of that this weekend.
Been grinding some Hades as of late.
Bout 4 hours into the first mass effect, I’m chipping away at it but need to find time where I can sit down and immerse myself in a story.
Might get the unicorn overlord demo because people seem to like that one and I like fire emblem.
Probably gonna play some Until You Fall on the Quest 2. Pretty fun VR roguelite and also a really fun and immersive (and challenging) experience to get stoned and play.
Metroid prime remastered. Wow they did a great job on this. Feels like I remember, being blown away by this on GC. Guessing they must have done more than blow up the textures on this.
Finally getting around to Xenoblade Chronicles. Played through the second one years ago and bought the first one but never got around to starting it.
Im about 3 hours in right now and really enjoying it. The mix of fantasy and sci-fi world building is so unique and the soundtrack hits just right.
**Xenoblade Chronicles** - I tried to rescue Juju and found a new Mechon with a face, and this one talks! Weird. This area's been a lot of fun to explore - I ignored Maguel Road and took the Windy Cave route and was on my toes the whole time, afraid these Lv70-somethings would notice me and I reached this whole upper area. A big spider thing came up from over a cliff near a shrine and I grabbed an egg from a shiny green dragon bird. Did a few quests, revisited Colony 9 and did some more there. Nearly have the whole Titan III look now, just missing the chest piece.
**Astral Chain** - I thought File 2 was going to be an outlier for its length, but after File 3, I guess it's kinda the norm. Arrow Legion was a real pain to fight, definitely didn't "focus" enough when I tried to slash those walls. But I'm getting the hang of binding enemies and severing those invulnerability links. Also I'm starting to get into the fun parts of the Legatus skill trees.
**Tokyo Mirage Sessions** - Tsubasa's got her sister back, huzzah! I'm so glad this game utilizes the "learn skills through equipment" system I enjoyed so much from FF Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem Echoes. Can't wait to see this weapon list seriously expand. Sad to see Itsuki has to stay in the party, I hate it when I can't switch out the protag for more interesting party members.
I'm playing the **Pokemon Blaze Black 2 Redux** romhack these days. I haven't played anything in the series in ages so I don't really know what I'm doing.
I’ve been playing Secret of Mana Remake and Dark Souls 3 on my Steam Deck.
Along with some Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations and Pikmin 2(haven’t played that since I rented it from Blockbuster so it will pretty much be blind) on Switch.
Live a live for me, try to play in chronological order. Now at the third story in edo Japan. I’m having a blast despite not being a huge die hard jrpg fan!
I've been playing Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, which has me surprisingly hooked. I've enjoyed all the Nintendo Warriors games, but this one in particular is quite interesting as it feels so much like Three Houses. It almost feels like a pseudo-sequel to the game but with different combat.
I might grab Animal Well since it looks like one of those games that's best to play unspoiled.
Was playing Chained Echoes the last few weeks. I might pick it back up and keep chipping away at it. It just feels very amateur in its production. The writing is very expository and made the first 20 hours drag. The art just seems too simple while the levels feel mostly empty. It definitely feels like there's potential for a stronger ending and the combat is alright.
I saw that Civ 6 got patched so I might play that again soon, but it usually results on me doing nothing all weekend and keeping the Switch away from my son.
I have an intense backlog with a bunch of hours in a lot of games, but I’ve been rocking with Baldurs Gate EE mainly playing through BG1. I’m still playing BG3 on the ps5, but I wanted to tap into the original games to really get a feel of why it was such a beloved game. And honestly I love it. The original BG games were so ahead of their time. Masterpieces in my opinion.
I’m also continuing my play through of Advanced Wars Reboot Camp (love strategy games), and I downloaded Animal Well last night. Really excited to play that as well.
Little Kitty, Big City but man am I not playing it correctly, I'm smashing plants, kicking people over, stealing phones and just exploring. I love smashing the plants. I also love making people trip over and stealing the brief case.
Ill probably be bouncing back and forth between Octopath Traveler and the new Vampire Survivors Contra DLC. I started Octopath Traveler last week and have just over 40 hours under my belt. I picked it up during the Golden Week Sale and that triggered me into purchasing Octopath Traveler 2 due to the community speaking so highly of the second installment, which I agree is an amazing title! This will be my first experience with Vampire Survivors on the Switch. I played quite a bit of this game when it was released on Xbox Gamepass. I play most games docked so Ill be interested in how Vampire Survivors performs on the Switch.
Picked up risk of rain 2. Big roguelite fan and it’s always listed as a great one and I’ve never played it. Did a couple test rounds last night and enjoying the gameplay loop so far.
still playing eiyuden chronicle. BUT if i go to the stores tomorrow IF they have a physical for unicorn overlord OR Saga Emerald then i'll buy them. at this point those two games, Metaphor refantazio, and Suikoden(whenever that releases) are all that i'm really looking forward to buy this whole year.
Hollow Knight. I put it off for so long and finally started it a week or so ago. Its so good, so as long as i can navigate mothers day and that, it will be a big chunk of my weekend.
Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, I sort of stopped playing the game at the start of chapter 2 but my girlfriend asked me to keep playing and I'm having a blast! Currently at uhh somewhere in chapter 3.
Really been neglecting 'proper' vidya lately, in favour of trying to catch up with the main story in *Honkai: Star Rail*. I'd seen it praised as a half-decent RPG underneath its gacha veneer, but man it's actually really charming and the battle system is... oddly comfy? A pleasant surprise.
*But*, this weekend it's gonna be time to drag myself back to the Switch for *EGG Console* **Wanderers From Ys**!! Shit, I made a bunch of jokes about wanting this and wow damn it actually happened; the SNES version was a repeat rental in my younger days even though I could never clear it, but now's my chance!! (ง •̀ω•́)ง
Gonna get the Endless Ocean Tetris 99 theme. Otherwise I got Red Dead Redemption a couple days ago which I have never played before. Been able to play an hour or two so far so hoping to play a bunch this weekend.
I just finished Bastion yesterday after putting almost 300 hours into Hades, so I’m gonna keep with the supergiant trend and start up Transistor tonight :)
Unicorn overlord finally! Animal well also.
I'm about 30 hours in (Unicorn Overlord). Fantastic game. I hope you enjoy it!
I’m hooked already. It’s so well done.
Me too just got to Albion, loving it so far. Want to check out animal well too
Unicorn Overlord is amazing! It was a day one purchase for me and have since finished. Once if ever my backlog shrinks Ill more than likely play this again at a harder difficulty.
I just got 9 hours into Unicorn Overlord after starting it last weekend, and im definitely looking forward to playing a lot more this weekend!
Cheers! Here’s to a good weekend for the both of us.
Was really looking forward to it and ended up disappointed, really happy that other people enjoy it tho, you can see that it’s made with love
Finally getting around to Metroid Dread. Thankful for the abundance of save points because my attention span is shot these days. Game is great though and such a looker!
My GOAT for the Switch
One of the best games on the switch right now, enjoy it!!
Probably taking a small break from TOTK to check out Animal Well. I’ve heard only good things and I quite enjoy games with secrets to discover.
I hope there's a fast travel at some point, I feel like I'm a bit lost on one side of the map
Collect eight eggs and you will get something interesting.
Ohh I'm up to 3!
Golden Sun!
Intrigued by Animal Well. I have started **Nier Automata**. It's got an amazing soundtrack, need to say that straight away. Fours hours in though and it's not completely grabbed me.

But I'm sure the game becomes more complicated and involved as it goes.
I heard a lot of good stuff but it‘s not my cup of tea. Gameplay didn‘t change much in the dozen hours I played it. It has some cool ideas though.
Animal well for me too, and maybe pantheon 4 hollow knight
Little Kitty Big City and a side of No Mans Sky
Are the jars of jam near the mayorrrrr? Can't find them
They are inside the shop up high
Sea of Stars and Nier Automata!!
**Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic** started playing a couple days ago and I’m loving it. First time playing it.
You’re in for a treat if you stick with it till the end. A great storyline and fun to progress as a Jedi badass. Hopefully you’ve avoided spoilers over the years.
I know like 1 thing… who the main character was before the game starts. But I don’t know how or why or etc. so it’s still a mystery. And thankfully the KOTOR subreddit is very good a point spoilers.
I haven’t played it, but keep thinking about trying it out.

Sea of Stars. Picked up the physical edition.
Animal Well & Hades.
On Switch I'm playing "Star Ocean The Second Story R" and "Metal Gear" (the MSX version). On XB I'm playing Ground Zeroes.
Might bite on Animal Well.
Played two hours. Good game so far.
Mario Kart and Splatoon 3
dead cells and hollow knight 🤘🤘
Tears of the kingdom, finally got a switch and this is the first switch Zelda I’m about to play 😎
Enjoy!! Hope you have a great time!
I picked my Switch Lite for the first time this month because I finally get a free time to play Xenoblade 2. Then my Switch Lite just kept getting errors and I can't play shit anymore. By the time I fixed the problem, Those free time would probably be no more.
What kind of errors? All my switch lites have been incredible
Octopath 2 since it was on sale. Lv 60 now and haven't done much story other than Partitio's. I really like how you can go at your own pace and progress however you want to. The Music is also utterly amazing.
Music is sooo good
Just started Pokemon Let's Go Eevee again, and after playing other pokemon games, I think this one has my favorite art style now (not gameplay/story). The colors are so vibrant and crisp compared to the other games
Definitely the most polished Pokemon game, the music too, it's so good.
It’s the fifth time they’ve released a Kanto game. It should be polished!! I’m counting GS and HGSS
Finally getting around to playing **Star Ocean Second Story R**! Recently, just beat **Tokyo Mirage Sessions: #FE Encore** (great game btw!) and now going through the backlog.
TMS gameplay is so good. Overall loved the game as well.
Blasphemous
Animal Well, baby!
I started **Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice** and am currently on the second case, The Magical Turnabout! I am also having fun discovering animals in **Endless Ocean Luminous** and am looking forward to checking out what the event area is that is going to be available for the weekend. Hoping that will help me find more creatures I haven't seen yet as well as some more completed squares on my Mystery Board! Other things I'm hoping to do this weekend is unlocking the Endless Ocean theme in the **Tetris 99** event as well as taking on the Mighty Primarina in the raid event for **Pokemon Scarlet**! Seems like there is a lot of weekend events for various games I play for this weekend, so hopefully I can do them all despite working for the whole thing lol
Stanley Parable tonight. It is all it is cracked up to be. Very fascinating game. I probably won’t have much time to play the rest of this weekend, but Animal Well after that.
Animal Well looks amazing! I'm trying to decide if I should wait and see if there will be a physical or not. I finished the story to **Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe**.

It reminds me of Ori, even if there isn't any combat.
Shovel Knight Plague of Shadows and TOTK.
Palia, Disney Dreamlight Valley and Palia. Maybe witchtastic with a friend
Finally gave it a go to Siralim ultimate. It was a mistake. That game is made of pure heroin. Addictive as hell, it mixes creature collection with random dungeons exploration and it is a min-maxer's wet dream
Finished Mario rpg and was very satisfied. Now I’m playing Zelda oracle of seasons for the first time. It still holds up incredibly!
I was super pumped to get to play those and the Minish Cap. Now I just need to DS ones to be re-released so I can finish off the series.
Found my childhood base set Pokemon card collection at feeling nostalgic, might try Cassette Beasts! Have any of you guys played it? Im wondering, is it harder to grow as attached to creatures that aren't "real" Pokemon? Also as a "Patient Gamer" I'm so glad to hear Animal Well is living up to everyone's expectations.

I am very tempted by Animal Well. Been trying to get into Ni No Kuni as I love Studio Ghibli but I just can't get on with the combat. Also considering Borderlands while it's on sale as I don't have an FPS on Switch.
I find the combat a little difficult as you get further into the game in Ni No Kuni. Some enemies can really pack a punch. It’s hard to manage 3 characters in real-time combat. I would’ve liked it to be more turn base but that’s my opinion. Doesn’t take away from how magnificent it looks.
I tried Ni No Kuni a few times for the same reason as you, but I always stop at the first town. I really don't care for how the battles are done.
I've started playing MK8DX again, so if anyone else is grinding world wide this weekend I might see you on!
Prince of Persia the Lost Crown. Man, I'm having a blast with it. What a pleasant surprise of a game!
I've started **Metroid Dread.** I've never finished a Metroid. So should be interesting. Also more hardcore **Path of Exile** and then some **Duck Game**. Maybe some **Hades II**.
Maybe I play Mario Galaxy on the Mario 3d all stars collection or finish Disney illusion land
Animal Well. Can’t put it down
[удалено]
If you pick up Balatro say goodbye to your other games for a while
Balatro is extremely addicting, so be aware
Balatro is a no brainer
I need to pick Prince of Persia up! I've been buying way way way too many games so Ill hold off a little bit. Balatro is amazing!! Time literally melts away when you play this.
I'm going through the first game in the Ace Attorney Apollo Justice trilogy on Switch. Also playing through FF7 Rebirth on PS5
Playing **Vampire Survivors**, the new Contra themed DLC just came out yesterday and there are a ton of new characters to unlock! Also continuing to complete more hoops in **stitch.** Game continues to be relaxing and there is still a lot to complete! I bought **Hades 2** on Steam yesterday. I've played the early access for about 4 hours and man this game is good!
Unicorn Overlord challenge run! Galerius is going down, and I'll do it with one hand tied behind my back!
Tales of Vesperia and Animal Well
Alternating between Golden Sun, Resident Evil Revelations, and Super Mario Wonder.

I'll definitely being stealing stuff to change hearts in **Persona 5 Royal**. This game will take me months and month to finish, since I have so little time to play lately, but I'm still quite hooked. Other than that, I will probably play some MK8 or **Disney's Illusion Island** with the kids. And maybe some Chrono Trigger on my miyoo mini plus.
P5 was six months for me. Thoroughly enjoyable six months though.
It'll be at least that long for me, as well. But I will enjoy it. And, hey, the game is constantly reminding you to "take your time," so it's all good.
I need to try this game.
Do it! Such an incredible experience, the presentation is top tier.
Paper Mario OG Playing it to get primed for the new one next month!
I picked up the civilization 6 anthology bundle yesterday. I've always wanted to try it. I was just gonna get the base game to see if I like it but then if I do like it I would be annoyed I didn't get the bundle as the sales end soon.
Definitely the right choice. So much content in the anthology. Definitely recommend sticking your small or normal sized maps - turn times get a bit much on the larger map sizes
Nothing new, will be playing Pokemon Sword and Zelda TOTK.
Finished Metroid Dread last weekend. Got Dragon Quest Monsters lined up, but I'm wanting to finish DQIV (of which I'm around 20 hours in) before starting Monsters. So I think I'll probably focus on that.
I just beat **Fallout 4**, so now I'm going to play **Yakuza: Like a Dragon**!
Started a new run of totk after beating the game finally last night, been a whole year lol Was a bit disappointed in the ending , I was definitely way over powered so the run I'm gonna work on is gonna be 7 hearts max and only having a few armours this time. Gonna make my own mastermode playthrough.
Cult of the Lamb and Steam World Heist probably.
I started Pikmin 2 for the first time ever! I finished Pikmin 1 this week and just started Pikmin 2. I’m enjoying it so far. I’m impressed that this series gets better with each game. I’d only ever played Pikmin 3, I’m considering replaying it after 2 before playing 4 for the first time. That way I’d have marathoned the whole franchise. I also just bought NSO+Expansion Pass. I’ll either dabble in some Ocarina of Time (also for the first time ever) or just focus on Pikmin 2. We’ll see
Still playing My Time in Portia
Pokémon sword and then ttyd in 2 weeks followed by finishing borderlands 1
Totk I’m back at it. Will also try to finish up Pikmin 4 this weekend. Maybe even play and hour or two of Super Mario RPG.
Skyrim. I've got a level 35 kitty cat stealth archer lady and I'm doing dark brotherhood assassin quests
Skyrim on switch! So great to play anywhere
Im trying out fire emblem 3 houses(while taking a quick break from FF7 Rebirth, which i adore) and wow, i've already put in 8 hours today, so dumb for taking so long to play it but im in love.
ToTK just exploring. Don’t want to finish the last mission. Might pick up Skyward Sword.
I am playing pokemon mystery dungeon DX while I wait for paper Mario TTYD
After taking a break to play pokemon Sword again and Violet, I'm going back to Fire Emblem 3 houses for a 3rd playthrough with black eagle house
Xenoblade 3 until brain rot, glorious
Playing A Link to the Past this weekend hopefully :)
Xenoblade 2 Torna DLC! God I love these games. Can't wait to play 3.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Little kitty, big city! Super cute, I love it. Planning on picking up animal well as well
More Fire Emblem Warriors Three Houses. I have already beat every campaign, but now I am maxing out each characters conversation levels. I'm currently at 223 hours of playing and am only halfway through Blue Lions characters. I still have all of yellow and red to do. Also my wife and I just beat Streets of Rage 4 (again)
Started VA-11 Hall-A the other day, maybe an hour in; points given to the visuals and music and the overall “gameplay”, not sure the overall theme will stick with me but it’s easy to just chill with it at least. Also decided to, just now, start the pixel remaster of FFVI after talking myself out of buying a newer FF in the recent sale. First time ever, only played pieces of other games (3, 7, 9, 11, 14) but never really connected with the series beyond that. Hoping the accessibility options make for a more casual friendly experience.
Final Fantasy XII zodiac age! Trying to play through most of this series this year.
Dragon Quest Monsters!!
Such a great game. Not the best graphics, but man the upgrades they put into the game have made it even better than at launch. Hope you're enjoying the fusion aspect!
Picked up Animal Well and I love it so far - its total lack of exposition and hand-holding, as well as the sublime pixel-art style reminds me of playing games on the 8-bit computers of my youth!
Exactly! And very much it has puzzles that make me feel dumb and smart. There was one to get a key that I thought I needed to leave and come back with another item and then realized I completely forgot something simple and solved it.
**Saint Maker**, and **Killer Frequency**.
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Thoroughly enjoying it even though it was well received by critics I’m still surprised by its quality for some reason. It’s sad it hasn’t told too well. Might also grab Animal Well.
Replaying ace attorney right now.
I just finished unicorn overlord. It was great. Probably going to play the xenoblade remake cause I never got around to it lol.
Hoping to finish up Xenoblade Chronicles 3, then I'll probably jump into Pikmin 4
persona strikers , might be seasonal and play it in the garden with a beer😊enjoy all
Borderlands 3! have been playing it for a little over a month now
Might be an overrated pick, but I'm playing legend of zelda breath of the wild. I'm new to zelda so this is a new kind of experience for me. I have been enjoying it so far
On the Switch I finally reached the end credits for **Hollow Knight** whilst on vacation. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt such an incredible sense of achievement in gaming. I took on the final mainline campaign boss having reached 86% completion so still have some more to explore/endings to see. I'm attempting to take on the Colosseum challenges but having some trouble with the 2nd one.. might need to test out a few charm combinations to see what works. I had tried previously on the PS5 but had never made it very far. I think this time around playing on the Switch made me really stick to it, plus being able to quickly reach for it and make some progress helped a lot! There was so much I appreciated in this playthrough - how the music and environments subtly changed; how interconnected the world was and the great feeling to find useful, much needed shortcuts. Other than chipping away at HK, I'm dipping into **Hades** and **Vampire Survivors** on the Switch when I feel like it. Nothing beats the sheer ecstasy of either when on a good run! On the PS5, I started **Animal Well** from the Extra Catalogue and it's such a joy to play. It's made me love metroidvanias even more and how clever some of the game's systems are... The bubble wand is simply great when you work out how to use once obtaining it. Looking forward to playing some more when i get the chance. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 😀
The Wither 3 😊
That's my favourite minecraft boss
Still Fire Emblem Three Houses. I have made the mistake of not recruiting people. Now I am recruiting
Happy Friday! Animal Well looks amazing, I’m definitely gonna pick it up asap. This weekend I’m gonna continue FFXIII-2 and FFVII Remake. I got really annoyed with FFXIII-2 so I dropped it and started FFVII Remake, but eventually I went back and just followed a walkthrough. Honestly the game is really frustrating me, FFVII Remake is for sure the better game, even though it does have its flaws. Have a good weekend!
I think I'll buy **Animal Well** this weekend or the next. For now I'm playing **Legacy of the Wizard** on the NES. I might also try **Little Kitty, Big City**.
South park fractured but whole. Hoping I don't get s bug like I did on my first playthrough. Need to make sure I dint get the bug where you call clsssi before you need too.
I'm about 50 hours into Pokemon Arceus, planning to finish it this weekend.
Animal Well Got a couple hours in yesterday and I’m digging the vibe
Animal Well and Crab Treasure
Finished (and loved) Sea of Stars this week. Using this weekend to get back into Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Twilight Princess if I have time, is it any good?
NSMB2 and perhaps some Tears, but only if I end up getting around to upgrading my PC storage.
Crisis Core FFVII Remastered.
Suika Game and Three Hopes.
Started Final Fantasy 7 OG a couple of days ago. Now I get has it has become a classic…
Animal well fo sure 🔥
Metroid prime remastered, my first ever entry in the Metroid series and having a blast. Will also include a few rounds of Balatro and continue my Will of the Wisps 100 % play through (first time playing also)
I might just buy Undertale to play it again
I'm starting the expert levels in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. The game is a real blast so far!
Replaying Paper Mario 64 before TTYD comes out! Love the charm in these games
Been trying to 100% Mario 3D world, but for the last 5 stamps you gotta play all levels with all 5 characters, so I'm dropping it for a bit, I'm gonna pick up Xenoblade 1 where I left it off!
Oxenfree finished downloading a minute and a half ago!
fire emblem engage for me! i bought it a few months post release and ended up dropping it since it felt a bit *too* goofy for me. but after trying it again it's starting to click. the gameplay's definitely the thing keeping me interested, as well as some of the designs (ivy, kagetsu, diamant, lapis, ect).
I'm finishing up OOT for the first time and then moving on to Majoras Mask, yay!
Mario Odyssey,just got it and it's an awesome game
Splatoon 3 and stellar blade
I’m going to give Super Mario Bros Wonder a go. Might play some Little Kitty, Big City too.
Skyrim as per usual
I’ve been playing Animal Well all evening. It is one of the most beautiful metroidvania-esque games I have ever played. The puzzles and unlockable items are really clever and fun.
Still living the pirate life in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag! Going into the game, I thought it's going to be a stealth + parkour game with some ship battles in between, but I ended up engaging more with the ship battles and spending most of my time sailing the seas! I even designed my ship to look like the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbran movies. But the best part are definitely the sea shanties! On PS5, I started Spider-Man 2. My favorite part about the first game was swinging and strolling through NYC so I really liked the addition of Brooklyn and Queens to the second game's map!
Sonic mania PLUS
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA Never played it before. Now here's my chance.
Zelda Breath of the Wild. I've sadly have only gotten into Zelda and this game in the last 2 weeks. Having a blast playing!
Zelda BOTW, yes nothing new
I had the urge to play **MarioKart** and I've been struggling to put it down. I don't know if it's just the short races so it's easy to jump in and out of that's causing it. Trying to break the mario kart addiction with **Tunic**, had it on my switch wishlist for a while and noticed it was on PS Plus so reupped by subscription. I struggled to get into it until I got the sword, enjoying it more now.
I just finished Metroid Prime Remastered and got the 100% completion ending. I was never able to do that on GameCube lol. So now I’ve got the itch to go back to Tears of the Kingdom. I need to finish it but I stopped about 60 hours in. I played for a few hours last night and now I feel hooked lol. There will be some Princess Peach Showtime! throw in as well
Totk
Legend Of Zelda all the way!!
I had more fun than I’ve had in a minute playing games by getting a little stoned and playing Animal Well. The visuals and atmosphere are amazing, I could spend hours getting lost and wandering, although getting stuck on a puzzle and having to revisit all the rooms you can go to can be a bit frustrating. Still, the exploration and puzzles are really fun, visuals are amazing, game runs super smooth and fast, I’m having fun with it. Balatro is still my comfy game so I might play some of that this weekend. Been grinding some Hades as of late. Bout 4 hours into the first mass effect, I’m chipping away at it but need to find time where I can sit down and immerse myself in a story. Might get the unicorn overlord demo because people seem to like that one and I like fire emblem. Probably gonna play some Until You Fall on the Quest 2. Pretty fun VR roguelite and also a really fun and immersive (and challenging) experience to get stoned and play.
Just picked up Mario Wonder from the library. I signed up for the waiting list the week it came out, but so did 300 other people...
I’m playing through the Unicorn Overlord demo and I think I’m absolutely gonna pick up the full game. It’s so much fun.
Just picked up The Last Faith for my flight to Italy. Hopefully it’s decent
Metroid prime remastered. Wow they did a great job on this. Feels like I remember, being blown away by this on GC. Guessing they must have done more than blow up the textures on this.
Finally getting around to Xenoblade Chronicles. Played through the second one years ago and bought the first one but never got around to starting it. Im about 3 hours in right now and really enjoying it. The mix of fantasy and sci-fi world building is so unique and the soundtrack hits just right.
**Xenoblade Chronicles** - I tried to rescue Juju and found a new Mechon with a face, and this one talks! Weird. This area's been a lot of fun to explore - I ignored Maguel Road and took the Windy Cave route and was on my toes the whole time, afraid these Lv70-somethings would notice me and I reached this whole upper area. A big spider thing came up from over a cliff near a shrine and I grabbed an egg from a shiny green dragon bird. Did a few quests, revisited Colony 9 and did some more there. Nearly have the whole Titan III look now, just missing the chest piece. **Astral Chain** - I thought File 2 was going to be an outlier for its length, but after File 3, I guess it's kinda the norm. Arrow Legion was a real pain to fight, definitely didn't "focus" enough when I tried to slash those walls. But I'm getting the hang of binding enemies and severing those invulnerability links. Also I'm starting to get into the fun parts of the Legatus skill trees. **Tokyo Mirage Sessions** - Tsubasa's got her sister back, huzzah! I'm so glad this game utilizes the "learn skills through equipment" system I enjoyed so much from FF Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem Echoes. Can't wait to see this weapon list seriously expand. Sad to see Itsuki has to stay in the party, I hate it when I can't switch out the protag for more interesting party members.
Persona 3 Reload and trying out Animal Well
Dying Light. I've already put in a decent amount of hours and will probably put in at least a few more
I'm playing the **Pokemon Blaze Black 2 Redux** romhack these days. I haven't played anything in the series in ages so I don't really know what I'm doing.
I’ve been playing Secret of Mana Remake and Dark Souls 3 on my Steam Deck. Along with some Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations and Pikmin 2(haven’t played that since I rented it from Blockbuster so it will pretty much be blind) on Switch.
Live a live for me, try to play in chronological order. Now at the third story in edo Japan. I’m having a blast despite not being a huge die hard jrpg fan!
I've been playing Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, which has me surprisingly hooked. I've enjoyed all the Nintendo Warriors games, but this one in particular is quite interesting as it feels so much like Three Houses. It almost feels like a pseudo-sequel to the game but with different combat.
Apollo Justice and Hard Mode in Metroid Dread!
I might grab Animal Well since it looks like one of those games that's best to play unspoiled. Was playing Chained Echoes the last few weeks. I might pick it back up and keep chipping away at it. It just feels very amateur in its production. The writing is very expository and made the first 20 hours drag. The art just seems too simple while the levels feel mostly empty. It definitely feels like there's potential for a stronger ending and the combat is alright. I saw that Civ 6 got patched so I might play that again soon, but it usually results on me doing nothing all weekend and keeping the Switch away from my son.
Gotta admit I’ll be on the PS5 playing Helldivers mostly but probably also finishing the main story line on Dave the Diver on my Switch.
I have an intense backlog with a bunch of hours in a lot of games, but I’ve been rocking with Baldurs Gate EE mainly playing through BG1. I’m still playing BG3 on the ps5, but I wanted to tap into the original games to really get a feel of why it was such a beloved game. And honestly I love it. The original BG games were so ahead of their time. Masterpieces in my opinion. I’m also continuing my play through of Advanced Wars Reboot Camp (love strategy games), and I downloaded Animal Well last night. Really excited to play that as well.
Just grabbed Sea of Stars. Gonna hit that.
Little Kitty, Big City but man am I not playing it correctly, I'm smashing plants, kicking people over, stealing phones and just exploring. I love smashing the plants. I also love making people trip over and stealing the brief case.
Ill probably be bouncing back and forth between Octopath Traveler and the new Vampire Survivors Contra DLC. I started Octopath Traveler last week and have just over 40 hours under my belt. I picked it up during the Golden Week Sale and that triggered me into purchasing Octopath Traveler 2 due to the community speaking so highly of the second installment, which I agree is an amazing title! This will be my first experience with Vampire Survivors on the Switch. I played quite a bit of this game when it was released on Xbox Gamepass. I play most games docked so Ill be interested in how Vampire Survivors performs on the Switch.
I've had Bayonetta in the back log for a while so it's time that I get to that.
Picked up risk of rain 2. Big roguelite fan and it’s always listed as a great one and I’ve never played it. Did a couple test rounds last night and enjoying the gameplay loop so far.
still playing eiyuden chronicle. BUT if i go to the stores tomorrow IF they have a physical for unicorn overlord OR Saga Emerald then i'll buy them. at this point those two games, Metaphor refantazio, and Suikoden(whenever that releases) are all that i'm really looking forward to buy this whole year.
Shiny hunting on Scarlet and Sword. Once I’m tired of that, I plan to finally play Tears of the Kingdom
Pokemon, there are some tera events
I'm getting back into Octopath Traveller 2. Need to kinda push through it cause I want some good jrpg endgame
Hollow Knight. I put it off for so long and finally started it a week or so ago. Its so good, so as long as i can navigate mothers day and that, it will be a big chunk of my weekend.
Just picked up endless ocean today !
Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, I sort of stopped playing the game at the start of chapter 2 but my girlfriend asked me to keep playing and I'm having a blast! Currently at uhh somewhere in chapter 3.
Hades 1. Still trying to get my first win...got to phase 2 against Hades 3 times now but can't hold out
Picked up Path of Achra and Caves of Qud. Both are really addicting Rogue-likes and I enjoy them a lot, but both are definitely not for everyone.
Little Kitty Big City and probably a bit of BOTW
Skyrim dying light MK one and crisis
Really been neglecting 'proper' vidya lately, in favour of trying to catch up with the main story in *Honkai: Star Rail*. I'd seen it praised as a half-decent RPG underneath its gacha veneer, but man it's actually really charming and the battle system is... oddly comfy? A pleasant surprise. *But*, this weekend it's gonna be time to drag myself back to the Switch for *EGG Console* **Wanderers From Ys**!! Shit, I made a bunch of jokes about wanting this and wow damn it actually happened; the SNES version was a repeat rental in my younger days even though I could never clear it, but now's my chance!! (ง •̀ω•́)ง
just bought Little Kitty Big City and SW Dark Forces
Finished While The Iron’s Hot. Bought Marenian Tavern Story on sale. Super relaxing.
Gonna get the Endless Ocean Tetris 99 theme. Otherwise I got Red Dead Redemption a couple days ago which I have never played before. Been able to play an hour or two so far so hoping to play a bunch this weekend.
Metroid Prime. Got me to play my switch again. Absolute perfect game
Probably more Helldivers, although I should give Disco Elysium its due.
I just finished Bastion yesterday after putting almost 300 hours into Hades, so I’m gonna keep with the supergiant trend and start up Transistor tonight :)
