Finished Sparkle 2, it's a throw-a-ball-to-match-3 kind of puzzle. Very similar to older Zuma game, if someone here remembers that. This was free on PS+ a while back and I have been playing since early 2025. It has around 90 or so levels and I'll usually play 2-3 here and there. Finally reached the end after about a year and half.

Fun game, if you like this kind of action puzzle games, this was an enjoyable experience.

Most of the time this weekend was spent on Lords of the Fallen (2014). There was objective, but it didn't say how to get there, so was a bit lost, but beat another another boss and reached the next one, so hopefully I am going in the right direction. This game is much easier than usual soulslikes, I cleared two areas without dying even once, even beat a boss without dying, that never happens for me.

There's a trophy for each boss, and from that it seems I only have 2 or 3 bosses left. Shouldn't be too long. Maybe 1 or 2 weekends more. Want to finish this before Yoshi's release.

Just started the second chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition. Things were fine for a little bit, but something seems to be up now, going to see if we can figure it out...

Played a bit more of Pokémon Pokopia nothing major here.

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

Playing Yoshi’s Crafted World!

Needed a more relaxing game and this one seemed like a good option. It's fairly chill, though getting 100% in some stages can be surprisingly tricky - damn whoever decided to have those "retry the stage if you fail" challenges. Sure, you can rush through the stages and get back there in a minute or so but it's still very annoying.

Speaking of annoying, my god the OST in this game is painful. While the tracks are not that bad (but not good either) they're mind-numbing repetitive - the large majority of the stages either uses the main theme or variations of it.

But outside these two things the game is pretty good. Similar vibes to the Kirby games, though I'd definitely recommend Forgotten Land and Return to Dreamland over this one.

So, I loved Yoshi's Crafted World, and my kids and wife loved it too, but your mention of "retry the stage if you fail" challenges brought back the memory that the game did have some annoying parts.

I haven't played either of the Kirby games. Forgotten Land is already on my wishlist but was planning to skip Return to Dreamland, felt too easy / targeted for kids. Will add it to my list on your recommendation though.

Forgotten Land is a much better game, but I definitely recommend both. Return to Dreamland also has 4-player coop which will probably be fun to play with your kids.

Son is about to enter teenage and is more interested in games like Fortnite. He does like playing with me though, so might be able to rope him in. Would be a good fit for daughter though, she loves simpler games

I really liked that one. Some parts were pretty challenging too, like you said. I had low expectations but was very surprised.
