I started Hades recently and have been enjoying it a lot. I’m debating if I should pick up Sonic Frontiers, it’s been forever since I played a Sonic game.

Still playing Final Fantasy XVI. The story and characters are fantastic. Now that I’ve put some time into it, the combat feels pretty great. Excited to see where it goes. I feel like I’m still in the first quarter of the game.

Horizon Forbidden West - don’t like it as much as the first but I’m determined to finish it before moving on to something else

Primarily playing Guild Wars 2 and getting prepared for the new expansion around the end of August! I’m also super stoked for Baldurs Gate 3 and going to jump in with some friends!

More Final Fantasy 14. I’ve started the Heavensward post-game content (I guess you can call it that?).

I’m done with all the optional dungeons and raids you unlock after the base story, and now I’m continuing with the story quests that were added in later patches. There’s just so much time-wasting, back and forth bullshit, that it’s just a chore, though. Start quest in town A, go to town B for a short cutscene, go to town C for another short cutscene, go back to town A for yet another cutscene. Since you can teleport everywhere by this point, it doesn’t take long, but is just so boring. That’s why I’m constantly queuing for random dungeons and hang out in the Gold Saucer, basically avoiding the story.

As for classes, I’ve mainly played Reaper, which is fun, and today started trying out Dancer, and had a good time as well.

Surprised nobody else has said Tears of the Kingdom yet. I’m like 110 hours in and still haven’t beaten the main story. There’s just so much to do!

Borrowed Metroid Dread at the library. I love the game, but I’m having a real tough time. It’s a little too hard for me, but I’m still hoping to finish it.

I played Super Mario Galaxy, and was having difficulties with motion control and aiming the stomp (even after doing the spinning stomp move), then I reached a place with underwater level, I bailed out. Personally for me, it’s probably better suited for short bursts of gameplay than longer period of streaming the game.

Right now I am replaying Zero Time Dilemma. I am still enjoying it.

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 this week; I can’t even begin to tell you how many gleeful hours I put into Diablo 2 back in the day, but this one is feeling more like a chore than fun. There’s a part of me that wants to just grind out to 100 to get there but I recognize sunk-cost fallacy when I see it, so I’m at least taking a break for a while.

A friend gifted me Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor during the Steam sale so that’s probably on the menu for this weekend. My 12-year-old has played a couple from that series and enjoyed the puzzles so I’ll see if they want to play it with me. I also picked up the stealth puzzle game Gunpoint and am looking forward to giving that a go.

Horizon: Zero Dawn, almost non-stop. The mechanics can be a bit finicky sometimes, but the story and world building keep me coming back.

There are a lot of little things that I really don’t like about it and these almost certainly exist because it was originally exclusive to Playstation. I sometimes find my self a bit irked because there was so much more they could’ve done to make it a classic. Instead, it’s just good enough.

Felt the itch to play some Dead Cells again, so I did that and finally got around to playing the new Castlevania DLC. Always a blast.

And I also finally got around to playing Ghost of Tsushima. Haven’t gotten very far yet, but so far I like it. The combat is a little slow and janky for my taste but the enviroment and sheer beauty of the world make me want to keep playing it.

working towards 106% in Crash 4. it’s tough as nails and it’s not a game that shies away from slapping you and laughing in your face for the smallest screw up. The 106% demands literal perfection on each level.

but it’s a lot of fun and slowly conquering this behemoth is super satisfying

Super Mario Galaxy, I didn’t own a Wii, and not much of platformer gamer.

There’s some really fun parts, but the motion control is annoying for the surfing section, and I still have problems aiming my stomps at enemies.

Deleted the game after a frustrating fight with that giant mandibug boss (can’t aim my stomp), came back, reinstalled the game, and defeated it after watching YT video on the timing. I will give it another try later.

I tried remastered Mario 64, and quit since I have issues with the flying control. Tried sunshine but somehow it doesn’t stick.

I’m super looking forward to Pikmin 4 coming at the end of this week 🙏. Been waiting a long time and everything I’ve seen looks great so far
