Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there’s still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn’t went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven’t played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That’s all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

      Same here. Finished Xenoblade Chronicles in 6+ months. Though, when the game takes over a month or so, I usually add some smaller games to mix.

      How far along are you? and how are you liking it?

        Love it. It’s basically the same game as Breath of the wild, but the underground and sky island increase the map even more. Then the added building and fusing weapons makes it way more fun to play. I’ve finished the first three temples and am on to the last now.

      BTW You have posted on a very old thread though. Our weekly thread is pinned on the main page of community. This one is more than a month old.

    Found this hidden gem (for me at least) “Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon” really like this game.

    Have been thinking to try out other Bayonetta’s too, even thought they are different style of games.

      Yeah, I don’t think it’s a hidden gem, but I haven’t seen many people play it. How are you liking the game.

      I am in the opposite boat, I have played the other Bayonetta (thought only the first one) but not the Cereza and the Lost Demon.

        I first tried the demo of the game. Didnt expect to like it, but found myself really enjoying the art style and specially story. Havent finished the game yet, sadly I dont have as much time to playing games as I use to.

          Happens to all of us, don’t worry about it.

          I’ll give the demo a try, once I have gone through Bayonetta 2 and 3. Thanks for the heads up.

    Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.

      I didn’t even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.

      How are you enjoying the game?

        Yeah there’s a ton it’s just really tedious if you want a lot unless you start early and use the seed maker. I’m still addicted to the game tho especially since my son is now a teenager and picking his career

      Nice! How far along are you? I just started it with a few friends, we are still in the start, just reached Tobi-Kadachi.

      The co-op is a mess in this game, you all have to separately go on a mission, then watch cut scenes, then everyone except one needs to abandon quest, and join one person’s quest. Hope Capcom makes it simpler in next versions.

        Yeah co-op story mode is annoying as fuck. The whole “wait till the cutscene” thing annoys me. My wife just started playing and doing the story with her is annoying, BUT MH also gives you extra bonuses for helping low level players so it’s actually worth it. They had good ideas and bad ones in there.

        Im about a quarter of the way through iceborne main story right now. This game gets pretty addictive.

          Ah, well, we are all pretty much at same level, so haven’t noticed any benefit of helping anyone else 😀

          Yeah, the game is really fun, but we kind of only have one night in the week, so not sure how long we can play the game like this. It takes a lot of time.

            Oh man, this game is a grind. But if you don’t get the expansion it’s not that bad for length, and doing it with friends is certainly easier.

            If you decide to get the expansion it’s a lot more of a grind.

              Well, we decided to do the main game first, and see if we even like it enough to continue, before deciding on whether we go for expansion or not. Let’s see how long we can keep it going.

    Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that

    I’m playing Pikmin 1 HD (I couldn’t really wait for the physical edition as I had previously stated). I’m having a blast so far, played 6 days and got 10 spaceship pieces.

    I remember being terrified of the time constraint in the game (30 days to get 30 pieces) when I first played it 20 years ago, but my experience with Pikmin 3 makes the game really much more manageable and enjoyable now. The Switch version, even if it’s a simple HD port with some very minor tweaks, is really enjoyable.

    Looking forward to starting Pikmin 2 HD, probably next week.

      Yeah, I was a bit on the fence about 1 & 2, but KotActually made a post about it yesterday, giving a mini review on the state of Pikmin 1, and I am quite excited about it now.

      Looking forward to finally have the time to play it.

    Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser’s Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.

        I just found it very slow. A lot of unskippable cut scenes. Yes! So relaxing.

          Yeah, Luigi Mansion does have that issue. I didn’t notice it the first time, because I like to watch the cut scenes, but when I tried to replay it, I just couldn’t.

          Thanks for the info, will add Dorfromantik to to my list!

      How is Noob the Factionless? It looks interesting, but I have no idea about the IP, and the trailer didn’t seems to explain much game play either.

      Also, how are you finding ROG Ally? Heard there were lots of issues with the launch?

        I’m not super far, but it seems neat so far! I know nothing about the media franchise, and wasn’t sure about the aesthetic, but there is this cozy 2008-mmo-cringe to it that I like. It’s a fairly standard JRPG

        The ally has been great for me. I only use GOG, which works best on windows, so there was a lot of jank on steam deck. I know there’s been some controversy about performance with updates, but I’m not running tons of benchmarks or AAA. It’s been smooth so far!

          That sounds fun, will give it a try when I get some time.

          Glad to hear that it’s working great for you. It’s nice to see handhelds making a come back.
