Hello Everyone,

I keep saying I only play one game at a time, but I keep starting multiple games. Generally, my rule is one big game, with one smaller game, to keep things fresh. Recently started playing a bit of multiplayer, so added one multiplayer game too. Going to keep it like this now.

  • Still playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Playing it slowly, reached the Water world (don’t remember the name), chose it over the snow one, will play that after clearing water one.
  • Resumed my play-through of Dragon Quest XI, I have assembled the full party, and am about 25 or so hours in. Going to play this regularly now, as my primary game.
  • Resumed Monster Hunter: World. Took a break of couple of weeks, now catching up to my friends, will most probably just play it as MP game, with some session here and there to grind / farm some specific gear or something.

Other than these, some smaller, side games:

  • minit, I finished the game. It’s a small, adventure game in black and white, where each run is exactly 1 minute long. Any puzzle you solve or item you obtain remain like that, but you die after 60 seconds, and respawn at your home (or one of the other specified location, if you reach them). You can finish the game in 3-4 hours. I just tried it on a whim, but really enjoyed it. If you don’t mind the graphics and such games, you should definitely try it.
  • barato: I was somewhat interested in Vampire Survivors coming to Switch this month, but when I posted about barato, people praised it, and I noticed the “Overwhelmingly Positive” on steam, which intrigued me. Then some more comments on the launch trailer I posted yesterday… long story short, I got the game. And it’s very addicting. Though, embarrassingly I still haven’t been able to complete a full run. I would be feeling very OP, and the my overconfidence would get me killed. This is going to be, “in-bed-before-sleep” game.

See, just one game at a time!

So, what have you all been playing?

I started and finished Metroid Dread last week. It was such a joy. Definitely my favorite in the series now (previous favorite was Metroid Fusion). I’m going to revisit Metroid Fusion and then I’ll probably replay Dread on Hard.

Finished Dragon Quest V on the DS last night. I’m glad I pushed through because the late game was actually pretty fun. So cheeky having a character named Dr. Agon. Definitely made me laugh.

lol at Dr. Agon.

I have only played Metroid, Super Metroid and now Metroid Dread. Love Dread, the game is amazing. Fusion is on NSO right? Going to give it a try some day.

How are the older Dragon Quest games? Still fun to play?

I actually finished Metroid Fusion this morning. It’s only a 4-6 hour game, so definitely give it a try if you have any interest. I played on a Nintendo DS. It’s probably my top GBA game, but Metroid Dread is my new favorite in the Metroid series for sure.

I haven’t played any of the newer Dragon Quest games, so I can’t really compare them. It was just alright. Kind of grindy and the story wasn’t as good as I was hoping for. I don’t think I’ll be playing through any of the older ones any time soon, but maybe some day.

Yeah, Dread has made me fall in love with the series. I will give it a try soon.

It is! I still haven’t completed any full run. Any favourite combination of weapons?

Me either! I’m mostly going down the SMG/pistol/shotgun route, I can get to around wave 15, clearly I need to mix it up.

Guns are I think easiest, I have reached Wave 19 couple of times with the guns route, I mainly focus on increasing ranged damage, but try to keep all other stats in green too. I feel completely op, until I just randomly die. 😀 I think I can clear it with one more run!

Just finished TOTK, so I might buy Pikmin 4. I also still need to finish the battle network collection

Ooooh! Battle Network collection! I want to get it, but seems a bit expensive. Will probably get it on a nice sale.

Nice. Sounds interesting. I still haven’t played Overcooked with my wife. After everything I have heard about it being a relationship tester, I am not sure I want to risk it 😀

Have you played other games in the genre? Like Moving out?

That’s nice to know. Will give it a try when it arrives on Switch.

Thanks for the info.

MarioKart came out with new courses and now I’m back to drifting like a mad man while metal music plays in the background

I just got back to MK too, haven’t played it since before the booster pack came out. So, just tried them for the first time, really enjoying them.
