Right now I'm playing a lot of Tetris, New Leaf, and Zelda Ocarina of Time. Tetris is strangely addicting, I'm playing New Leaf because I'm starting to get bored of New Horizons, and I just felt like playing Ocarina of Time. (But now I'm playing the N64 version, I beat the 3DS version like five times.)

I've started Ultreia and I am really enjoying it. It is a point and click game. I played the demo last year and enjoyed it. I find it an interesting and beautiful game.

I'm waiting for The Witcher 3: Complete Edition to download on my switch, so I might be playing that tonight

 

[Autumn247]

Playing Calico, it's a game where you run a cat café

 

[Autumn247]

Just started my first playthrough of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Complete Edition

Yeah, I played Bravely Default years ago and dropped it because…. The lategame is literally just grinding. You have to grind your team until they reach max level, and only then can you beat the game. It became so monotonous that I just couldn’t deal with it anymore. I still love the game, and props to those who finished it, but I just… yeah…

I've just reached Chapter 5 and I can see what you mean. So far it's just been constant boss fights (especially since I want the 999 JP from the asterisk wielders) with the occasional cutscene. And the next 3 chapters are exactly like this? I've already reactivated 3 out of 4 crystals, doing it 13 more times is gonna feel like such a slog lmao

I just got Super Lucky's Tale for the Xbox One so I'm going to maybe play some this weekend. And I'm also playing Pokémon Shining Pearl and ACNH

I just picked up New Super Lucky's Tale for Switch because I always have a platformer on the go, and honestly it's probably one of the better ones available. It's close enough to Banjo Kazooie that it satisfied the completionist in me with all the collectibles...and it's DEFINITELY better than the mess that was Yooka Laylee.

In terms of just platformers on Switch...I'd say 1.) Mario titles (any, and unlikely to ever be improved upon), 2.) Rayman Legends 3.) Super Lucky's Tale.

I recently finished Metroid Dread and decided to pick up Dead Cells again in hopes to beat 5 BC and become a parry god (since Metroid kinda taught me how to parry). I am also playing Furi which is just a boss rush game where you also parry and its actually really fun.

But back to Dead Cells- I am currently trying to get through 2 BC and I'm doing really well except I keep dying in the final boss fight. It's so frustrating to get all the way to the end only to die within like 30 seconds lol. Dead Cells recently added an update where you can practice fighting bosses so I think I'm gonna do that for the final boss over and over again since that fight is just so hard for me. I have the other two bosses down (Black Bridge boss and Clockmaker boss) and even got no hits with both of them!! But that last boss....smh

Another game that I recently picked up again is Celeste! I stopped playing after I beat the main game plus the extra Core chapter, and was stuck in the beginning of the Farewell chapter. I decided to get back into the game and learn advanced movement strategies and perfect my platforming skills and I managed to beat all the B side chapters and the first 3 C sides!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself. If only I could somehow use my video game skills in real life lol.

Also my favorite B side is chapter 5, the music goes so hard and the mechanics are so fun. I frequently play it for fun and try to beat my own speedrun record which I think is a little under 10 minutes if I remember correctly

Finally beat Bravely Default on Monday - fun final boss, but incredibly repetitive after the first half. I've moved on to Bravely Second, still at the prologue which I'm guessing ends after the 4th party member joins? The 3rd member just joined so ch.1 might end be sooner than I think.

I played both of the games and finished them years ago. The final boss fight in Bravely Default gave me some trouble and after losing several times, I eventually won with a good strategy. I honestly think Bravely Second is a lot easier because it requires less grinding than the original games. Also, the new job classes introduced in Bravely Second were very useful in battles and I developed all sorts of strategies by watching others on youtube. That's how I became an expert at playing the game. It's really fun how you can combine so many different jobs and abilities that can help you get an edge in battles. Plus, the characters in Bravely Second are so funny and I enjoyed the story a lot. Definitely one of the best 3DS games I've played.

I started SMT IV last week! I know nothing about smt so I just got the 1st one i saw avaible lol but it has been very fun so far! I really like the monsters, pretty different from the cutesy stuff I'm used to, but they're cool (it has a wide range between ''ugly'' and cute/funny designs)

Also I finished a replay of mother2/earthbound recently and started mother1/eb0, I haven't played them since I was little ^^ My favorite is mother3, but all the games are enjoyable

Currently playing Genshin Impact and Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

 

[.: Meri :.]

I'm getting back into Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani now that I've finished up DQXI S and PMD: Blue Rescue Team! I've already done the routes for my two faves, so I'm going back to complete the others' before I get into the Finale route. (It's not a locked route or anything, but doing it in this order just makes the most sense to me.)
I've also just started Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past today! I'm still not very far in at all, but it's already gotten my interest. Hoping I'll get to play a little more of it today!

Sister got copies of Back 4 Blood for me and my friend, so have been enjoying that lately! Takes me back to the glory days of multiplayer Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2....in other words, it's an awesome game!

Forgot to stick my 3DS on charge to carry on with Mario + Luigi Superstar Saga at work, so I took my Switch and gave Evoland a go since it's been sat there metaphorically gathering dust since I bought it.

Fun concept, that's why I bought it. Start off the game like it's an old Game Boy game, find 'upgrades' to gradually make it play like a modern title. Fun.

In execution though, not great. It's like the game is racing through to get to a more modern game rather than letting me enjoy the older styles for any decent amount of time. It changes 'generation' about 4 times within the space of about 15 minutes initially, so I really didn't get a chance to really enjoy that novelty, nor did it do anything particularly clever with the game generations they were imitating outside of purposely stiff janky controls and knowingly poor game designs. That's the game in a nutshell, showing you something kinda cute then instantly rushing you to the next thing whilst doing nothing with its own interesting concept.

In terms of the gameplay, it just plays like a top down Zelda game in one half (probably a quarter), Final Fantasy VII specifically in the other half. It's actually kind of disappointing that they're just trying to ape these two specific titles when the games concept is open for such creativity. It's not so subtle they're basing nigh everything solely on those two games to the point of your main character is called Clink (Cloud + Link, spikey yellow hair and elf ears) your partner is a pink wearing magic user called Kaerith (Aerith), there's a guy with an airship called Sid (who's blatantly obviously based off the FF7 version) and you get a weapon that is visually just the classic buster sword Cloud has. The UI is FFV, the turn based battles are specifically FF7, half the characters are based on FF7...Just make a FF7 fan game at that point.

It's a cheap little indie game so I had my expectations set low anyway but it managed to soar far below them regardless and totally waste such a cool concept by just fan boying over Final Fantasy VIII. If I wanted to play Final Fantasy 7, I would.

Currently playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Dying Light 2. I loved co-op in the first Dying Light so I was looking forward to the second since early last year. There are a few kinks to work out (some key mission indicators don't appear and you have to launch the game again, hardcoded controls, buggy zombies), but the movement is smooth and it has been fun with friends so far despite a not-so-engaging storyline. Sometimes the bugs that do happen add a lot of humor!

If you played the first or just want another 'open world' hack and slash adventure with friends, I think it's worth a go - especially when it inevitably goes on sale at some point. The one thing that has irked me was the intro story mission before you unlock co-op is needlessly long and taxing,

Keep in mind: I'm playing on PC and have a decent build - don't recommend it for lower-end systems.

I’m playing both Tales of Arise and Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. Both games are stunning for their respective systems. The battle systems and stories are a lot of fun too.

 

[Autumn247]

ACNH, The Witcher 3, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and soon to be playing Pokémon Legends Arceus once it’s delivered later this week.
