Well, I was planning to Medieval Dynasty on PS5, with a friend, but due to PSN outage, couldn't do that. So, went back to playing Tomb Raider


Played quite a bit of Rise of the Tomb Raider, mostly focused on main story, though did any side stuff I came across, without going out of the way to search for all of them.

Not much new to say about it. Story seems to be nearing end, but I can be often wrong about these, so let's see. Unless Medieval Dynasty took too much of time, would try to finish this over the weekend.


Started Metroid Prime: Remastered, playing this as my primary game.

It's fun to play as Samus Arun in a 3D / First Person game. Game is very good, with the usual Nintendo polish, though it does feel dated in some aspects, mainly the map. There is no way to mark anything in the map, and it only shows you doors, so if you come across some blocked or unreachable passage, you can forget where it was. There are multiple such places that I remember seeing somewhere but now that I have the upgrades required, I don't know where they were.

This also means, it's not always clear where to go next.

Another thing is that doors require different weapons to open, it makes sense for the first time, but you need to that everytime, so when going back and forth, you often have to keep changing your weapons to open door, then change it to fight the enemies, then change it again to open the next door. It's not a big deal, but still a minor complaint.

That aside, I am enjoying the game, the visuals, sound and gameplay itself is good. I have gotten all visors and weapons (got the last one just a little while ago), there are probably still some other stuff left to get.

I hope they release Prime 2 and 3 remastered too. Would love to play the whole trilogy before Prime 4 drops.


So, what about all you? What have you been playing?

I've been jumping back into the second Pokemon Scarlet DLC! Trying to take on the E4 at Blueberry Academy and finding it extremely difficult despite playing Pokemon since Blue version came out. I'm accustomed to single battles and the double battles have caught me entirely off guard - I need to go back to the drawing board and focus my team around different mechanics!

Or just grind EXP candies and brute force it. We'll see!

Yeah - it really caught me off guard. After getting stomped by a couple of the Kitakami Ogre Club members, I decided to build a new, EV-trained team, which I don't generally do. I assumed, based on the levels in Kitakami, that we would be at around 80, but that unfortunately put me over leveled. The double battle surprise caught me off guard, but my level difference allowed me to out-muscle pretty much everyone. Until I got to the steel type E4 - she and her very unexpected strategy almost completely wrecked me. Wellspring Mask Ogrepon was my last fighter, and just barely managed to take out her last 2 mons - it was wild.
