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?

Every time you mention Trails, you push me one step closer to buying Trails in the Sky SC.

Good to know the games are getting better and better, and you are still enjoying it.

Have fun!

Just to clarify, I though CS4 was one of the weakest game in the series, which is why I'm glad Reverie is a big improvement.

But even the weaker games in the series are fun, I did play CS4 for 80h-ish hours and had a good time - it just felt like a significant downgrade after CS3 which was one of my favorites.

Ah, that makes sense. Which is what I originally expected with such a big series. Some great games, and some not so great games.

Thanks for the explanation.

Exactly, it's hard to have all games be bangers when there's more than 10 of them already. But even the "worst" games are still a "B" in my opinion.

And I'm hearing very positive things about the next two (Kuro + Kuro 2) who were already released in Japan, hopefully won't be long before we get them in the west.

Too many games. This comment again nudged me a little towards getting Trials in the Sky SC!

If it was available on Switch, I would be playing it right now. Or if I had Steam Deck...
