Finished Yoshi and the Mysterious Book!

Well, at least the credits rolled, there is post game content but the little bit of what I have played, requires much more skill. I still have all the stuff I left in the previous levels though, have to go back and complete that at least.

Going to keep playing and try to complete the encyclopedia as much as I can, not sure I'll be to get everything, specially the post-game ones. Will probably put it aside as primary game and just play it here and there for completion. Have been itching for a JRPG so will probably start one now.


Finished Onimusha: Warlords!

It wasn't a long game, maybe 5-6 hours total, and if remove all the unskippable scenes that I had to see multiple times cause I died on the boss, it would've ended even sooner.

The game has many similarities with the early Resident Evil games so looked up the details and apparently the original idea of the game was "Ninja Resident Evil". Though, fortunately the puzzles in this game aren't as convoluted, and there are very few of those around.

Loved the game, even with the dated elements, the game is fun to play. I'll recommend it to action game fans, if they have some patient for older elements like fixed camera, saving at fixed places, and unskippable scenes.


Started Owlboy on Switch. It has been on my wishlist for a long time, so decided to get it on latest sale. I'll mainly be focusing on Switch 2 games for next few months (Yoshi, Star Fox, Splatoon Raiders), but when kids are hogging that, need something on Switch to play too.

I have just started it and played less than an hour, so can't really say much about it, but the graphics and gameplay looks interesting.


Played more of Fallout 4.

After reaching the Diamond City the game seems to have slowed down. Since it's the biggest city around, there's a lots to do here and the surrounding, but this means the "exploring the wilderness" feel has dimmed down a bit.


Also played some Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Arc Raiders, not much to mention here.


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

  • Release Date: October 16th
  • Platform: Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2
  • Description:

"Tales of Eternia" returns as a remastered version after more than 20 years!

While retaining the profound story woven across two worlds and the speedy, dynamic 2D battle action "Aggressive Linear Motion Battle System (A-LMBS)," the remastered version is reborn with numerous convenient features to support comfortable gameplay.

Strength that can change, feelings that remain unchanged.

Eternia is a world where two worlds, Inferia and Celestia, face each other across the sky.

In the remote village of Rashuan in Inferia, the protagonist "Reid" and his childhood friend "Farah" meet a girl named "Merdy" from the other world, Celestia, and learn that the "Grand Fall," a collision between the two worlds, is approaching. Reid and his companions embark on an epic journey across two worlds to avert a crisis by borrowing the power of the Great Spirit that governs all phenomena. During their journey, they witness the different values, cultures, thoughts, and ways of life of various people from different worlds, and the protagonist and his companions confront their own inner selves.
