Disney's 'Dreamlight Valley' is on Game Pass on Xbox...so I started playing that. It's basically an Animal Crossing-adjacent town management sim. Nothing groundbreaking...and kinda repetitive. But kinda fun in its own way. I think that many of the people who enjoy Animal Crossing would find similar appeal in this game.

Currently playing the new indie game Tinykin. It's one of the best new games I've played this year.

Still playing Tomodachi Life, although not as long as before - I usually play for a max of 15 minutes, the only reason I play is to check on new shop items. I am, however, playing a lot of AC:NH.

I mean...it's fun for what it is. Being available for free on Game Pass is definitely a huge bonus for me. Not sure if I would actually pay for it...but, I'm still enjoying it as a time-killer. - I personally enjoy games with lots of collectibles and "tasks"...(both of which are present here). - It has a very similar task system as New Horizon's Nook Miles. So...there are a pretty endless number of ways to collect "Dreamlight" which can then be spent on items and clothing and things. But, yeah...you run around and do things like fish, farm, mine ore, place furniture items inside and outside of your house, buy items from the shop (Which is run by Scrooge McDuck in a very similar fashion as Tom Nook plays the cheapskate in Animal Crossing). - The game overall does not have the same charm that Animal Crossing has...but you can tell what they were going for. And it's solid enough.

Does it have a end point I was told after the quests there is not much to do

Haven't got that far. But I could easily see this being the case.

Splatoon 3

 

[Briar]

I've been playing Splatoon 3 the past few days!

 

[nashnyx]

just got "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages", and gonna try to mod my gameboy color for a better screen

 

[JellyBeans]

alongside trying to work through this last bit of rf4 i picked up the harvestella demo after seeing it in the direct! i probably won't be rushing to purchase it any time soon but it's been nice to work my way through something knowing i'll finish it before too long

 

[Mokuren]

Splatoon 3 currently have a blast with it.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

Pokemon Go well I always play it lol

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

AC:NH and Tomodachi Life. ...I think I said this last time, maybe I should start playing different games.

 

[Autumn247]

I'm just focusing on playing Digimon Survive for now. I have a habit of starting too many games at once, getting overwhelmed, and never finishing them. So I'm trying to just play this one for now until I at least complete the main story

 

[Loriii]

I've been mostly going back to the games I've played (last year) and yet to finish on my PS5/Series X, then a few of the new ones that were released this year that I try to squeeze in. And they are a lot, like I don't think I'd finish them anytime soon. Haven't even got time to play the new Splatoon (and also feel quite disappointed in it).

 

[DarthGohan1]

Playing a little bit of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania on Switch. I was stuck for months on a really difficult level, finally beat it and now am stuck 2 levels later.

Picked up Assassins Creed Origins (alongside Odyssey and Valhalla) as there was a bundle sale for £30 (£40?) with them. I'm not fond of the AC games, never have been but for some reason I just had that desire to play it and thought the bundle was decent value.

Now for one, I'm very disappointed that I bought that bundle and a day later Origins (and another few days later Odyssey too) came to Game Pass. That was a kicker...Though I guess Valhalla alone is probably not far off costing £30 anyway, so I've not lost THAT much as I would probably have gotten around to all three eventually.

But I like it. Maybe I've just been away from Ubisoft games long enough for the formula to no longer annoy me (haven't played a Ubisoft game in years), maybe it's the fact that the stupid "modern day" storyline that aided immensely in ruining the original couple games for me seems to have been almost totally scrapped, but it's fun. Helps that I absolutely adore ancient Egypt as a setting so I did kind of want this on day one, but it's AC so I didn't. Bit repetitive which is par the course for pretty much every open world game, fairly simple even on hard mode, but I like it. It's the only Assassins Creed game I've played that I would actually recommend to people.

Also fun that I came across a questline where a giant glowing "XV" was on the side of some ruins, jokingly thought "Lol, Final Fantasy XV quest" and...It turns out it actually was a Final Fantasy XV questline. Got a themed sword and shield I'll never use alongside a """chocobo""" mount that is actually a horrifying monstrosity where a Chocobo and a camel have been melded together to birth the most hideous creature I've come across in recent memory. Absolutely heartbroken when I excitedly summoned it thinking I would be traveling Egypt on a chocobo only to have that eldritch horror turn up.

7/10. It's alright actually.

Also, Divinity : Original Sin 2 on the Switch when I'm out and about.

I've owned this since original release on PC, I've smashed through definitive edition but I wanted it on the go. Never played the console versions of these games before but heard they decent and I wanted to play it again, so two birds n' all that.

It looks fine. In handheld I can't actually spot any difference to running it on my PC without a side by side comparison, unlike a lot of Switch ports where everything is smudgy and blurry as hell.

Playing it though...Eee...I'm really not fond of the console layout. Things just aren't mapped or accessed the way I would expect them to be which is resulting in a lot of time just accidentally going through different menus and different actions as I yet again press and do what I thought it should be rather than what it actually is. I don't find it very intuitive at all. Had I not played the PC version thus know how good the game is, I would have gotten tired of the Switch version by now because I'm just not getting used to the console design of everything at all.

Currently playing Switch version of Digimon Survive. I'm up to Chapter 7, which from the looks of things seems to be past the halfway point? Easily my GOTY along with Xenoblade 3. Shame I missed out on Guilmon, ah well.

I used to like Digimon but don't think I ever owned a Digimon game. Have heard good things about this one though... it's really that good? What do you like about it?
