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?

Started playing Monster Train 2. Loved the first one, but oh boy, 2 is such a let down for me. Feels like it's poorly balanced, on both player and enemy sides, and it's just an exercise in finding the most BS broken stuff rather than properly strategy.

It's not a bad game, mind you; it's just that perhaps my expectations and the game were not aligned.

Any chance it's something they can fix with a patch? Also, is it something that they are willing to fix with a patch?

I don't think the devs are interested in that... considering that the game's been out for a while, and even has DLC, I think that's the gameplay the dev wants. Which, again, it's not inherently bad, just not aligned with what makes a game fun for me.

I just looked up, the game is rated very highly on steam, I guess most people are happy with the way it is, so yeah I doubt they will make any changes at this point.
