My Dual Sense (PS5 controller) got drift again, so no Monster Hunter this week.

  • Half-way through Soda Jungle in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (one good thing about Super Mario Wonder, is it’s smaller name)
  • Didn’t play much Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, want to fix that this week.
  • Not much to say about Dragon Quest XI, it’s trudging along.
  • Started Deathloop as it’s leaving PS+ Extra, but couldn’t get into it, so dropped it.
  • After Deathloop, I wanted to play some kind of shooting game, so stared Remnant: From the Ashes. Loving the game, it’s not as hard souls-like, but it’s still a tough game, I guess more of a souls-lite. Loving the game, and that’s taking most of my time now.

What about you guys? What have you been playing?

It went out like 8 hours ago. It came out during midnight in Germany, and I came to work, so I haven’t played it yet. I heard is quite good

Not on Nintendo Switch, but i decided to give no man’s sky a third (or fourth) chance, and this time it’s actually working!

I have heard great things about NMS, but I like generally games with ending, even with arcade game, I enjoy them more if there is some goal you can work towards. So, I feel maybe I won’t like it much.

I’ll still give it a try someday.

This weekend I’ll focus on splatoon as there is a splatfest going on. And that was most of my week as well, as I always boot splatoon a few days ago to derust myself. Also been playing vampire survivors and I have to say that it’s an awesome game and very fun. Might do that in between splatoon

I’m currently away from home and I’ve downloaded Resident Evil 2 (remake) onto my Steam Deck. I’m an hour or so in loving it so far! I’ve only ever played RE4 (the original version) before and it feels quite different - less incentive to shoot enemies.

I have played most of the originals, but haven’t played any of the remake yet. I have heard great things about the remakes though, so may go through all of them sometime.

Do share you opinions once you have finished the game.

So I finished Leon’s ‘half’ of the story yesterday. It was great! Loved all the puzzles (which had a classic videogame feel to them) as well as the various settings. It’s a beautiful looking game and the gunplay is very satisfying.

I was a bit disappointed to learn that playing as Claire is just the same thing again, although it does have a few different story beats. I don’t mind too much though as it seems like a fun game to play through multiple times.

This seems like a great way to remake an old game. Reminds me of FF7 remake in some respects.

Still working on preparing for the “final push” in TotK, didn’t play a whole lot again this week. When you only have around 25 shrines to go, finding them on a map that big without a guide can get really tedious, especially when most of the ones I’m finding now are in caves. They really like putting them in caves in this game, I’m noticing.

I may also start up one of the strategy RPGs I bought in Steam’s little strategy game sale the other week. I bought a bundle that includes Symphony of War, Dark Deity and Tyrant’s Blessing. Not sure which to try first, though. I had Symphony of War and Dark Deity on my wishlist already, but Tyrant’s Blessing also seems interesting.

Oh yeah, that can be tough. The ones in the caves gave me trouble too, but I didn’t do all th shrines, so it wasn’t that big of an issue. Good luck!

I haven’t heard of any of these strategy RPGs, though if they are PC only, it makes sense. Will check them out.
