This week went past so quickly! I had tons of work stuff to catch up to, so pretty much only got to play over the weekend, and hopefully will get to play on the weekend again.

Played some Snipe Elite 4, I think I am about 75% done with the main campaign, basing off the trophies.

Also played some Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1. Nothing much to say about it.

Tried Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers but couldn’t get into it, so dropped it after about an hour.

Started Powerwash Simulator and played a little bit. Not sure currently if I will keep playing it or not.

What about all of you? What have you been playing? And what recent or “coming up soon” game you’re really excited about?

    I’m about halfway through Super Mario RPG. It’s not a particularly long game, but I’m in the middle of moving so I haven’t had much time to play anything.

      Good luck with the move! Switch is perfect for during-move gameplay, when you don’t have other things set up!

      I need to complete Child of Light, I loved the game, but had to pause it. Rhyming was a nice touch.

      How are you liking PoP demo?

    I’m a few hours in on Persona 5 Tactica, and going in almost completely blind, I have no idea how much of the game I’ve finished. I just got Ryuji and Haru back. Despite the game combining two things in games I really enjoy (Persona 5 and strategy RPG gameplay) I haven’t been motivated to play too much at once. The game is good, I just haven’t felt much like playing games.

      Don’t worry, it happens some times. Usually a small break, or trying some different game can perk you back up. Phelpssan shared his review about P5T in last week’s thread, so you can look it out if you want. It’s completely spoiler free.

    I’m finally getting around to playing Hollow Knight. I’m decently far into the game now, and I’m having fun. It reminds me of the original Metroid where there are very few limits to where you can go early on, and you can just sort of get lost exploring and discovering really meaningful upgrades seemingly by accident. As opposed to the Ori games, which remind me of newer Metroid games where there is clearly a path that you are supposed to be on and very set order for you to get meaningful upgrades with a little bit of variance to reward extra exploration.

      Hollow Knight is great. I eventually gave up when I got stuck at a boss, took a break, and was completely lost when I got back to it sometimes later. But I believe I was about 70% or so done.

    I just started Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

    I havn’t played a pokemon game for a while, I felt too old for Sun and Moon when I tired to get back to the franchise when they came out. And damn, I just love Arceus.

    Finished Cassette Beasts!

    A very fun indie monster collecting game. Visually reminds me a bit of the GBA Pokemons, and this game has a lot of good ideas that I’d like to see in more games of this genre.

    In particular, I really like the more open-world approach, the environmental puzzles (reminded me a bit of Golden Sun), and the vulnerabilities system - instead of being simply “fire does extra damage to ice”, it’s based on buffs/debuffs. If you hit a Wind monster with a fire attack you trigger an “updraft” creating a wind barrier to protect it, but if you hit a plastic monster you melt it and change its type to Poison and apply the status effect at the same time.

    The OST is amazing, and I really like how all battle themes have a vocal version that plays when you (or your enemy) trigger a Fusion. This is a small thing, but does a really good job in adding more hype to those battles.

    It’s fairly short (took me ~20h to finish the main story), but there’s a lot of monsters left to collect plus some post-game content that I’m interested in doing eventually.

    Playing The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails!

    Not much to add to this one. Slow progress since I was mostly playing Cassette Beasts this last week.

      Cassette Beasts seems great. I have heard many positive things about the game. And 20 hours is a good enough time, not too long and not too short. May give it a try soon.

    I’m a casual with high level adhd procrastination so I don’t make big progress in games but I’m hoping to get my 6th gym badge in Pokemon Violet today. It’s only been a few months haha.
