With all the Switch 2 hoopla, I forgot about the weekly thread.
This was also a busy week, as predicted, so didn’t get to do any gaming at all. Things should be getting back to normal though.
Plan to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the weekend, and then continue Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition from Monday.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Probably spend way too much time playing Metaphor over the last week and I don’t plan on stopping. Shin Megami Tensei is one of the few franchises, along with Xenoblade and Dragon Quest, to always capture me like this. Metaphor isn’t a SMT game by name, but by heart it’s just Persona 6 - I highly recommend it.
Currently catching up on Fire Emblem Engage! Loved Three Houses a lot, but from the media reception I already knew Engage wouldn’t be as good as 3H. And indeed, the story is mediocre compared to it. However, I still like the FE gameplay anyways, so it’s just been fun!
Finished Tevi!
Another excellent metroidvania.
It’s a on the easier side compared to others I’ve played recently (Ender Magnolia and Rabi-Ribi), so if you want a challenge you should play it on hard, but other than that the only thing I have to complain is some occasional slowdowns on hectic moments, but they weren’t too bad and didn’t that hurt my enjoyment of the game.
And it looks like there’s some Story DLC being developed for this, so I’ll probably pick it up again in the future.
Playing Xenoblade X!
This is slightly improved port of a 10 year old WiiU game and it still looks fantastic. And I had forgotten how massive this world is until I spent close to 2h just exploring the city. 😆
Still fairly early in the story (Chapter 3), but I spent quite a bit of time going around the region near the city adding probes for FrontierNav and completing some quests. Will move on with the story now since I want to unlock more characters and better gear.
Wow, did not expect someone to shout-out Tevi! That and Rabi are great (although Tevi isn’t nearly as hard lol)
Played Rabi-Ribi earlier this year and it was an incredibly pleasant surprise, so much that it got me to look into other games from the same developer.
After finishing Tevi I’m definitely recommending both, though I prefer Rabi-Ribi for its more unique aspects (extreme non-linearity, crazy amount of bosses and higher challenge).
although Tevi isn’t nearly as hard lol
I’m still trying to beat Rabi-Ribi’s post game. 😆
Yeah, the city is really huge. I started Chapter 3 and went to explore the city, still haven’t completely explored it.
I’m was so excited for the Bravely Default II crossover in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent that I decided to up to 4500 rubies (the in-game currency that you can buy or slowly accumulate) on getting Ringabel in the gactha portion of the game. After one 300 ruby 10-pull, I got him! Since I had decided to spend the currency, I went for the other crossover character and pulled Gloria using only two more 300 ruby ten-pulls. Happy days!
I just started Chapter 5 in Xenoblade Chronicles X. I feel like there are five times as many party members in this game, so I got distracted by heart-to-hearts and affinity quests. Just like chapter four, I decided “well, I’m done with affinity quests for now. Let’s advance the main story” only to reach the barracks and see that an affinity quest needed to be completed first. Ha!
Wow, that’s a good gacha system if you got them in so few tries. Congratulations!
Heh, sounds fun. I haven’t played since my last comment. Still in start of chapter 3, exploring NLA.
Started replaying Pokémon Sword the other day, need something super low key as the wife and I are laid up with the flu.
Hope you both get well soon!
My friend keeps referencing a quote from Samurai Warriors (the first one, PS2 era) so on a lark I surprised her with a co-op session via parsec. Best musuo era, for sure, although that acting makes us both laugh. (I never played it, why is Nobunaga Oda a Japanese Darth Vader?!)
