I almost forgot to post this week's thread! Life has been pretty busy, and will probably going to stay like that for couple of months. So, not getting much gaming time. But thinking about making small gaming goals to keep chipping away at these games.

  • Didn't get to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, but plan to at least clear one level every day, starting from this weekend.
  • Completed second case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, started a third one. Loving the game.
  • Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.
  • Beat Nergigante, with some help in Monster Hunter: World. Now have to look for other Elder Dragons, but since I have Rathian armour which has -10 Dragon damage resistance, going to grind some better armour. Thinking about High Metal or Ingot. I was thinking about pausing the game for a while to focus on DQ XI, but then I thought I would have to "git gut" in MH again, so going to stick with it. Couple of sessions every week at least to keep the skills from deteriorating very much.

What about you guys? What are you currently playing? And what do you want to start next?

Interesting list of games. How did you like Crypt of Necrodancer? It's on my wishlist, but I am on the fence because of the "play on the beat" gameplay.

There's this one playable character that doesn't have to play on the beat but I don't know if it's very helpful since the enemies dance each their own way in the rhythm so you would have to pay attention to the rhythm anyway in order to attack and defend.

I like this game. Usually I don't play a roguelike game many times because I think too much and it's complex game anyway so it's time consuming (I have the same problem with Civilization). This game forces you to act fast and not to think too much. And as in other roguelikes the party could stop any moment so you better keep just dancing while it lasts. It's a bit difficult game at least for me. I have only completed the zone 1 so far.

Of course I don't know if you would like it. If you can't stand rhythm games at all then maybe it's not for you, but staying on the beat is not really the difficult part of the game. The game has very nice soundtrack so it's fun to dance around killing monsters.

I like the idea of rhythm games, but I am afraid of staying on the beat, feels difficult, but if that's no the difficult part, then I could give it a try.

I think it has a demo available too. Can get the feel of the game.

And yeah, I personally don't like the roguelites either, I am mainly interested in it because of their next games, Cadence of Hyrule, which is a crossover with Zelda.
