Hello Everyone!

This week’s post got a bit late due to some personal matters. Sorry about that. As for the games. I did not want to start any big game, and take care of some smaller games that I have been meaning to try for a while, ended up starting multiple games. 😢

  • I have moved The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to a secondary game, so while I am going to play it here and there, I am not going to focus on it anymore.
  • Playing Carto, it’s a beautiful, small, puzzle, indie game. If you have played the board game Carcassonne, you should love it. Basically, you have to solve puzzles by moving the map pieces around (and some other stuff). Highly recommended! It’s a very small games, I have done about 60%, going to try to finish it this weekend.
  • I started New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, have been meaning to play it since it released but there was always something else that I wanted to play first, but with Wonder releasing soon, finally started it. I have just cleared the first (Acorn) world. Loving the game and platforming, but not a huge fan of timer in each level. It’s usually not a big deal, but when you are going slow, trying to find all secrets, it finished up pretty quickly.
  • Also started Fire Emblem (GBA version) on NSO, and I am enjoying it a lot more than Three Houses, the only other FE game I have played (playing, technically).
  • Finished The Order 1886. A wonderful game that still holds up really well, both gameplay and visuals. But it was too short. A sequel could’ve been great.

That’s all from me. What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play this weekend and beyond? And how are you liking it?

Currently waiting for QOL updates for Techtonia, an underground factory game that just came out and is extremely tedious. But I managed to get PC Building Sim 75% off so I’ve been playing that along side mobile minecraft

Spirit Farer, about 25% through playing coop. I read that it might be a grind later on but so far it’s been fun

No game has made me cry as much as this game did. Death Stranding is in 2nd place, but its not even close

It’s a really fun game, but I didn’t finish it. It’s so relaxing, I kept feeling I am wasting time, and should probably play some game. 😀

Thanks for the post! If I see it out and about I might try buying the Kirby return to Dreamland game.

Otherwise if I play switch it’s that pokemon scarlet and violet game set. They did a really awesome job adding ridable pokemon, auto battling, and raids. To me it’s pretty much everything I asked for as a kid. The graphics leave much to be desired but if you’re playing in 1080p anyways it’s like who cares, you’re playing for the concept anyways lol.

I go back to Scarlet and Violet too. I usually do some raiding before I go to bed.

Nice. Glad you are loving it.

I haven’t played any Kirby game yet, except for the NES (or was it SNES?) one on NSO. Want to play Kirby and the Forgotten Land though.

More Dragon Quest XI for me. I’m absolutely loving this game.

I’ve got Pikmin and Tears of the Kingdom in the queue. And you gave me an idea to play New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. I started it once and liked it.

I’m continuing my tour of Nintendo’s back catalog on the DS. I’ve been playing Dragon Quest V. I really like how you can get random monsters to join your team. It’s the first Dragon Quest game I’ve ever played.

You have given me a great idea. You know I have not played any of them since Dragon Warrior on the NES? Time to catch up…

I was meaning to get back to DQXI after TotK, but want to play some of the smaller games from backlog, before jumping fully back in such a long game.

NSMBUD (Wow, even in abbreviations it is such a long name!) is really fun. I am having fun, but having trouble getting all the big gold coins (the ones that are 3 in each level).

Which Pikmin do you have in queue? 4? What about the previous ones?

Pikmin 4 is the one in the queue, but I do want to go back and player the earlier ones too.
