I have been a bit ill, so haven't been around much, and not playing much either.

I did finish Demon's Souls though. That was fun. Have lots of work piled up for weekend and next week, but if I get time, I would like to get back to Dragon Quest XI

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Got all the shrines (both surface and sky) in TotK and am finally on the last content. Should finish it within the next few days, hopefully this weekend. Apparently there were some missions in the Depths that should be main story missions because Josha won't help you advance in the main story until these missions are done, but they're labeled side missions so I put them off. Annoying. I just want to fight the final boss!

Ah, yes. Well, it seems you are finally at the end though. Good luck!

I finished it this weekend. 🥳 Now I need to find something to play next, lol. I'm waiting on the Mario RPG remake and not really big on getting any new full-price games in the meantime, so Mario Wonder will have to wait, if I do pick it up. I think I've got some stuff on Steam to hold me over until then.

Congratulations! Thanks to you, Hyrule is safe once again!

Oh yeah, Super Mario RPG is one of the reason I haven't picked up Wonder yet, and also the fact that I still have finished New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe 😀

So, what are you playing on Steam?

I finished TOTK yesterday! What a great game. How do you think it compares to BOTW? At some points while playing it I felt like it didn't have the same magic as BOTW (but that's nothing wrong with the game itself, it's just that BOTW was such a unique experience the first time I played it). But having finished TOTK, I can really appreciate how much they changed. The sky islands, depths and all the new ultrahand mechanics are perfect additions to the formula.

There aren't many games that can release such a stunning trailer, and then live up to that hype.

I felt like a couple of the dungeons were a bit average - the Gerudo one in particular. The Divine Beasts were a lot more memorable in my opinion. Then again, each of TOTKs dungeons felt very distinct which was nice.

Overall though, easily one of the best games on Switch and I'd probably rank it on par with BOTW.
