Highjacking the "what are you playing" thread tradition since it's a busy time for most folks, hope it's ok @[email protected] ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

What is everybody playing this (hopefully long) weekend? I keep playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I haven't put many hours on it yet, but it's been super fun all along. I also got the physical edition of Quake II from LRG recently, so I play some missions single player every now and then. On my DS I started Metroid: Samus Returns. I've been wanting to play some Metroid and I hadn't played this one before. So far so good!

Probably some new Switch owners on Christmas day, hopefully that translates into welcoming new members to this community ๐Ÿ™Œ

What about youse? What have you been playing or are planning to play?

I've had an absolute blast with My Time At Sandrock. Didn't play My Time At Portia, so I went in with 0 knowledge and 0 expectations, and it's been so much fun. Quite cozy and casual, but with such a great gameplay loop, diverse mechanics and minigames, and an unexpectedly super fun story and characters. I've been told I'm only in Act 2, and I'm nearing 200 hours.

Are you playing it on Switch? How are the loading times? I loved My Time at Portia, but got tired of the loading times. Initial load was very long, and then loading when going in your house also took time.

Oops, sorry for the late response. I'm playing it on PC, and haven't had any issues with load times. No idea about Switch, I'm afraid.

Ah, no worries.
