Reached the final level of Star Fox, but got stuck at a fight with Star Wolf. Dunno how many times I have tried, just can't kill them all, before all my companions are gone, and my ship explodes. May abandon the campaign and "git gud" by playing from start.

Finally reached a big town in Monster Hunter Stories. Not sure if it's the first such city or the only such city though. I like the feeling of when your characters enter the first big town after leaving their village in JRPGs.

I have also unlocked "Channeling", it allows you to let a monstie "inhert" trait or moves of another monstie. The monstie you inherit from is gone forever though. I haven't experimented much with it, but it can allow you to power up your monsties. No proper fusing unlocked yet.

Also faced some boss monsters, who don't follow the usual of two attacks of one type and then switching to another. Their pattern is also repeatable, but it also means you have to guess it the first few attacks, which means it ends up all being luck. Not a fan of this. Though the combat isn't much difficult so haven't had too much of a problem because of it.

It is making me want to play proper Monster Hunter though. I may end up starting MH: Rise or MH: Wilds after finishing this.

On PS side, spent most of my time playing Earth Defense Force 5. Just got the "5% main campaign done" trophy, when I am about halfway through the game. The way game counts missions is that each mission has 20 "check boxes" for 5 difficulty levels with 4 different classes. Since I am playing on normal (2nd difficulty, 3 are unlocked from start, and I guess you unlock last 2 after finishing the game) with just one class, I only get 2 check marks out of 20. So, only after crossing mission 50 or so did I get that trophy. I don't really care about trophies, but it's kinda annoying when you finish the game only have a 5% completion trophy, better to get no trophy in that case :grinning:

Going to pause Fallout 4 for a while, started Red Dead Redemption 2 instead. The start of the game, specially the first chapter, is really slow. With the way the game is hyped I was kinda disappointed.

My main issue is with "realism" in the game. All actions have long animations, even looting requires so much time, the character will bend down and check the downed enemy and then stand back up. Or when looting a room, you will have to press the button to open cabinet, which your character will do, then press another button to "Take" and most of the time your character is covering the view so you don't even know what you are taking, and when you get "you already have maximum amount of this item", you have no idea what item it is talking about.

The first chapter is more of a tutorial, so hopefully things will speed up after that, but feels a bit annoying right now.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Finished Owlboy.

It was a fun game, but there were some parts I didn't like much. There are some sections where you have to navigate through darkness, and there are spikes on the walls, didn't like that. There were also some areas which were time based, don't like those either. Doesn't make it a bad game though, there are many good parts, but it's not perfect. Personally, I will rate it as a good but not a great game. If you like 2D platformers, it's worth a try.

Started Star Fox. I have only played the tutorial though, haven't even started the campaign, but that is going to be the primary game for the weekend.

This is also the first time I properly tried the mouse mode of Switch 2, and I am really impressed. It works really well, had to spend some time thinking if I should play the game in mouse mode or normal control. You can change the controls on runtime though, so it's not a big decision.

Reached the second area Monster Hunter Stories. The game seems to be opening up, fast travel is also unlocked, and I have finally more than 5 monsties. 5 is the limit of what we can have active party at a time. Going to put it on a back burner for a bit and focus on Star Fox.

Played Fallout 4, completed some quest lines, and took care of some bigger quests. Also played some Earth Defense Force 5. Nothing worth mentioning there though.
