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?

I finished the main story of Tears of the Kingdom and switched to Ocarina of Time in NSO. I am also playing a bit of Slay the Spire.

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is really fun and I always get back to it here and there.

How is Ocarina of Time (NSO version) for someone who has never played it before? I remember there were many posts about how there are issues with the port, so I haven't tried it yet.

[โ€“] Dougas 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if they refer to technical issues or bugs. Have not encountered any yet, or at least anything memorable. But the controls are rough for someone used to modern control schemes like BotW for example. Also the screen looks too small in handheld. Unfortunately I cannot play it docked currently. The game is fun though so far and it seems to go even deeper story wise down the road. I'll update when I have played more the coming weeks.

I don't remember all the issues, but there were some issues with temples, some missing fog I think. Also some controller issues, from what I recall.

I have not encountered anything like that so far. But I am at the second dungeon at this moment. So down the way it may get worse.

That's good to know. Maybe they fixed it.

It's going to be a while before I play this. Just finished a Zelda game, and have many other game to go through before trying another Zelda game. So, just let me know how it goes.
