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?

Star Fox!! I've already finished two runs, I want to go through all the planets. I wanted to get the proper ending on my first run, but I messed it up in one of the later missions. Then I'll check out the online and battle modes. Might even try my webcam to have fun with it 😁

I haven't tried mouse mode at all on Switch 2 yet, I think this is the time!

There are proper and non-proper endings? Any non-spoilery thing I should be aware of?

You should try the mouse mode, it's really good. Though if you haven't played PC games in a while, might take a bit getting used to.
