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.


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

Finished Super Hydorah!

Good but really hard game. I barely managed to clear it in "Rookie" mode using something like 20+ continues - which is harder than the equivalent mode in most "bullet hell" shmups.


Playing Fate/Stay Night!

So here I go into the rabbit role of the Fate series. The prologue alone took me like 2h, so I imagine this will be a really, really long VN. Damn awesome prologue though, Rin and Archer's banter was top tier.


Playing Stray!

An interesting adventure game with a cat and a robot exploring a post-apocaliptic world. Seems like it's a short game, so I think I'll be able to finish it this weekend.

I've had Super Hydorah on my backlog for too long... I am glad I wasn't the only one finding it hard 😁

I’ve started Stray as well and I need to get back into it

I gotta stop this shit, I’ve got about five games on the burner right now.

Tears of the Kingdom was the last I fired up.

Stray is fun game. Played it when it was released on PlayStation and loved it. It was not what I expected, but still enjoyed my time with it.

How is Fate/Stay Night? I have been interested in the Fate series for a while, but haven't read up on how to get started with the series. I do remember that there are some main series and then many spin-offs. Is this the first one? Or just one of multiple possible starting points?

Never heard of Super Hydorah, but it looks good. Of course I can't easily finish the easier shmups, so not going to worry about one that is harder 😀

FSN is the first game ever in the franchise, and while I haven't played a lot so far I'm liking it.
