After last weekly thread, I officially dropped Octopath Traveler. The game, which beautiful, isn't just for me.

I ended up starting couple of different games. Got The Last Campfire by Hello Games. It's a nice, little puzzle game, with really good production values. Puzzles aren't too difficult in general, but couple of them had me scratching my head for a while. Love the narrator and narration. Highly recommended for anyone who like puzzle games.

Also started Dragon Age: Inquisition on PS5. I have been holding out on it cause I wanted to play Dragon Age: 2 first, (already played Origins during PS3 days), but finally gave up on it since there is no way to play it on modern consoles, and wasn't in mood to go back to PS3. Loving the game. The combat is satisfying, you gaining influence and slowly gaining foothold in the world feels nice. Though I have just played it for a few hours yet.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is still going good. I think I am halfway through the main story. Have been doing most, but not all, of the side quests, mainly skipping out on the ones that require me to do any thieving or such.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

I’m working my way through Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I never played it back in the day even though we opened a GameCube. I’ve just completed the prologue and I’m wondering if it’ll live up to the hype.

Good luck, would love to hear how you find the game when you have played it a little more?

I'm in chapter 2 and I'm a bit mixed on the experience. The game definitely has some good humor, but I haven't really been blown away by anything. Maybe it's just where I'm at in life because I have a young kid and limited time to play anything. My main complaints so far are that:

The game takes a bit too long to give the player freedom and let them explore, just like other games by Nintendo.
Some battles are slow/tedious. Action commands have a nice payoff and are fun to accomplish, but I might've actually preferred a standard turn-based attack style.
I miss quality of life features from later Paper Mario games like how lower level enemies in The Origami King automatically flee from you.

I'm still gonna keep playing, but finishing up Paranormasight and Ace Attorney are more appealing at the moment.

Yeah, sometimes a game just isn't for you, at least, not at that time of your life. Nothing wrong with that. You can always take a break from that and return to it if you feel like it someday.
