I almost forgot to post this week's thread! Life has been pretty busy, and will probably going to stay like that for couple of months. So, not getting much gaming time. But thinking about making small gaming goals to keep chipping away at these games.

  • Didn't get to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, but plan to at least clear one level every day, starting from this weekend.
  • Completed second case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, started a third one. Loving the game.
  • Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.
  • Beat Nergigante, with some help in Monster Hunter: World. Now have to look for other Elder Dragons, but since I have Rathian armour which has -10 Dragon damage resistance, going to grind some better armour. Thinking about High Metal or Ingot. I was thinking about pausing the game for a while to focus on DQ XI, but then I thought I would have to "git gut" in MH again, so going to stick with it. Couple of sessions every week at least to keep the skills from deteriorating very much.

What about you guys? What are you currently playing? And what do you want to start next?

I'm having a blast with Pocky & Rocky Reshrined!

How are you liking the game. It looks nice, but I am not a good enough to player to beat bullet-hell games. So, don't play those anymore.

I would say it's more a "slow paced" methodical scrolling shmup than a bullet hell tbh. Most levels required a few retries for me, but there are some checkpoints and the timer is fairly generous imo, so you're able to make progress consistently.

That's interesting then. I like the art style, but mainly ignored it because it looked like a bullet hell. Going to watch a review or two, and give it a try if I like what I see.

Thanks for your input!
