Didn’t play much this week.
Finished chapter 6 and reached chapter 7 in Ys IX: Monstrum Nox.
Similarly cleared world 5 and reached world 6 in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. At 6-3 right now. This is the toughest world yet, because of both the slippery ice and some of the platforming requires some twitchy-ish reflexes.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter - it’s one of my favorite jrpg series (although the second chapter is the true jewel in the trilogy) so I enjoy this remake a lot. I’m already at the final boss so I’m fairly optimistic I’ll finish it this weekend.
I may also continue playing a bit Pioneers of Pagonia. I’ve been playing it every now and then as an early adopter during development but it’s finally released now. Still not sure how I feel about this game.
Also playing DK tropical freeze!! Just finished the final boss, agree on the world 6 being hard, a lot of sweat to clear them perfectly, so good luck haha. Gonna open the rest of the levels later!
Had to restart ocarina of time on my switch because all of my progress got lost after an update :(
Playing Hades 2!
Finally got a win over the “surface” path boss! Though it seems like I’ll need to do it a few more times to progress. I also managed to unlock the remaining aspects of the weapons.
Playing Witch on the Holy Night!
About halfway through Chapter 8.
Playing Trails Beyond the Horizon!
I know I should be focused on Witch on the Holy Night, but it’s impossible for me to resist a new Trails game. And it starts hot, with the prologue having us play with the Arkride Solutions Office alongside a few surprise additions.
Returning Characters
Rean and Altina are back (and she’s more grown up now), and I’m happy they’re keeping her as Rean’s “default” partner - she was one of my favorite characters on the latter half of the Cold Steel games.
But more important, we finally get to play with Kevin again! It’s been so, so long since we last had him in the party! And it looks like he’ll have an important role, working alongside the “Imperial Picnicking Front”. C and Lapis already joined and Swin and Nadia already got mentioned a few times.
That alone got me so hyped I doubt I’ll be putting down this game anytime soon.
Currently in Chapter 1.2, wrapping up a few 4SPGs before I move on.
Edit: Super Robot Wars Y just announced DLC2 will be released next week with 16 new missions. I’m glad no game I’m interested is releasing anytime soon, I have a lot to catch up now.
Just finished Super Mario Odyssey and going to start with Sackboy.
Super Mario Odyssey was a fun ride, really liked how you can play different monsters and objects. I just found the last kingdom a bit annoying.
I picked up the Castlevania collection collection, all three of them. Had a quick play of Dawn of Sorrow and now I’m trying to 100% Aria of Sorrow. When I’m not doing that, the new Animal Crossing update has me hooked. And when neither of those sound appealing I’ve been very slowly chipping away at Pokémon Legends Z-A.
Pokémon games just don’t hit like they used to. Maybe I’m just outgrowing them, maybe they don’t make them like they used to. Maybe both.
