Hello Everyone!
Another week without me playing too much.
- Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
- Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there’s one puzzle near the end that I couldn’t figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can’t figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn’t get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
- Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.
Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.
What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?
I’ve just started playing TotK, and so far it’s great! I also try to make some time for Diablo IV and Catan with my SO.
How are you playing Catan? Actual board game or some digital version? I have the boardgame version, and just got the Cities & Knights expansion pack (though haven’t played it yet).
TotK is a great game, just don’t try to rush through it, and enjoy it at your own pace.
Who are you playing as, in Diablo IV? Finished the campaign?
Both the Catan Universe android app and board game. We just got Seafarers as well! But We’ve also been playing a bit with the 5-6 player expansion, even if we’re only two or three, and it’s been great!
Yep, I’m going to take my sweet time with it. I only have a limited time with it with two kids and my SO that also plays it (she’s only got Ganon left though).
My eternal character is an Arc Lash Sorc. I can’t say I noticed the nerfs that much, but I’m quite hyped for the buffs that are incoming! On Seasonal I’m trying out Druid. The leveling is quite slow, but I’ve heard it’s going to pick up quite a lot after 50, so I’m holding on to hope!
Ah, using 5-6 expansion for 2-3 players, interesting. Will check that out.
Yeah, gaming can be tough with kids and family. That’s why I like the hybrid nature of Switch, gives me a lot more gaming time (still pretty limited though), compared to what I would get with just a home console.
Good that you are enjoying the Buffs coming, while I have mostly seen positive reaction for Diablo, the season had somewhat of mixed reception.
Will I ever stop playing TOTK?
Nope. Not for the forseeable future. 😎
Though there are some new tracks on Mario Kart 8 i might want to try a bit.

I was wondering what I had forgotten! New tracks on Mario Kart!
TotK is a game that you can play for a long long time. How far along are you?
storywise i just have to go for Ganondorf at this point. Currently exploring the depths and using it to track missing shrines.
Regarding Super Mario Bros Ultimate, If you think it’s hard in the 2nd world wait till you get down the way. Especially the hidden levels and the star levels. But the game is very fun regardless.
This weekend I am off for vacation and left the Switch home so I am not playing anything
I just picked up Mario + Rabbids. Just got to world 2 after beating Rabbid Donkey Kong and boy was that a difficulty spike. I’ve always been a big fan of Fire Emblem, and this is very fun with all the movement options and such.
Does anyone know how the sequel holds up? Obviously not a masterclass in terms of story, but very very fun gameplay.
I would compare it more with X-Com than Fire Emblem. Technically, they are very similar, but in my mind, they are very different games.
As for the sequel, I haven’t played it myself yet, but have heard great things about it. I loved the first one, and from what I have seen second one improves on it a lot.
Ah I never played XCOM. But from what I’ve seen they do look really similar.
If you like Mario+Rabbids, and don’t mind playing umm… a “rugged” version of it, without Mario characters, and some base-building mechanics included, check out XCom 2. They also a released a Marvel: Midnight Suns, which I think is more approachable than XCom 2, though I haven’t played that yet.
For New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, if you have one of the SNES controllers (or something similar), that may help. I found it played a bit better than the Pro controller, for some reason. Probably my muscle memory from playing so much SNES back in the day! I thought New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was really difficult to get through even though I played through and conquered the other Marios.
I think it’s the kind of game where it’s better to use the D-pad than the stick. And the D-pad from the Pro Controller is an absolute joke, registers random stuff all over the place. I use the 8bitdo SNES controller for anything that’s better to play with a D-pad.
