Hello Everyone!

This week's post got a bit late due to some personal matters. Sorry about that. As for the games. I did not want to start any big game, and take care of some smaller games that I have been meaning to try for a while, ended up starting multiple games. ๐Ÿ˜ข

  • I have moved The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to a secondary game, so while I am going to play it here and there, I am not going to focus on it anymore.
  • Playing Carto, it's a beautiful, small, puzzle, indie game. If you have played the board game Carcassonne, you should love it. Basically, you have to solve puzzles by moving the map pieces around (and some other stuff). Highly recommended! It's a very small games, I have done about 60%, going to try to finish it this weekend.
  • I started New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, have been meaning to play it since it released but there was always something else that I wanted to play first, but with Wonder releasing soon, finally started it. I have just cleared the first (Acorn) world. Loving the game and platforming, but not a huge fan of timer in each level. It's usually not a big deal, but when you are going slow, trying to find all secrets, it finished up pretty quickly.
  • Also started Fire Emblem (GBA version) on NSO, and I am enjoying it a lot more than Three Houses, the only other FE game I have played (playing, technically).
  • Finished The Order 1886. A wonderful game that still holds up really well, both gameplay and visuals. But it was too short. A sequel could've been great.

That's all from me. What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play this weekend and beyond? And how are you liking it?

How many hours did it take to reach this point in TotK? Also, do share your percentage after finishing the games (lower right corner in the map).

I haven't been able to play Monster Hunter World for couple of weeks, planning to finish a couple of smaller games before focusing on it again.

How did you like the first Caligula Effect? It's on wishlist, which is longer than Mt. Everest now, so no idea when I'll get to it. ๐Ÿ˜€

My final percentage was 84.83% after ~205 hours. I didn't think I'd have more than 70%, I was kinda surprised. I also forgot to add the monster medals to the list of things I don't care about.

The first Caligula was... okay. I liked it and completed it 100%, but I wouldn't recommend going that far. You can tell it was originally a Vita game, it looks quite awful. But that's also why I'm excited to play the sequel, it was made for modern hardware.

Wow, I only had 41.something. Just shows how much I still have left to do. But then again, I finished it at 90 hours, compared to your 205.

Thanks for the review. I will manage my expectations accordingly.
