Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there’s still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn’t went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven’t played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That’s all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

    Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that

    I’m still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I’m “only” 40 hours into the game.

    Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.

    I’m about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I’m definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.

    Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.

    Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I’ll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.

    I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.

        After 100 hours I’ve completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I’ve just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.

        Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.

      Same here. Finished Xenoblade Chronicles in 6+ months. Though, when the game takes over a month or so, I usually add some smaller games to mix.

      How far along are you? and how are you liking it?

        Love it. It’s basically the same game as Breath of the wild, but the underground and sky island increase the map even more. Then the added building and fusing weapons makes it way more fun to play. I’ve finished the first three temples and am on to the last now.

    I have TOTK to play, but I don’t have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I’ll play either.

      Well, things happen, life changes, we change. I don’t know anything about your life, but in general, if your attention is diverting, maybe it means you aren’t enjoying the gaming as much, and perhaps need to take a break.

      Or if you are just tired of long games, try some smaller indies, or arcade style games.

      Either way, don’t worry too much about it. Games are an entertainment, and if you aren’t finding them entertaining right now, there is nothing wrong with moving on, at least for a while.

      Which one? Aren’t there two of them?

      And how are you liking them? I saw mixed comments about them on reddit when they were released. I am not much into party games, so didn’t check in detail.

    Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.

      I didn’t even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.

      How are you enjoying the game?

        Yeah there’s a ton it’s just really tedious if you want a lot unless you start early and use the seed maker. I’m still addicted to the game tho especially since my son is now a teenager and picking his career

          Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks! Though I am not sure if you are talking about your actual son, or in-game one. 😀

    I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try… The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I’ll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.

      Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing ‘I am going to finish it soon, it’s almost the end’ and then the end didn’t happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!

      Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!

      What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?

      BTW You have posted on a very old thread though. Our weekly thread is pinned on the main page of community. This one is more than a month old.

    I think I’ve decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn’t get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it’ll be nice to focus on that for a bit.

      I am VERY excited for the DLC. It was very tough to decide between that or TotK. I really love Xenoblade series, and XC3 is my favourite, and now to get a DLC bringing together all the games…

      I am not going to get it before finishing TotK though. I would be distracted between both games. So, going to finish TotK and then get the DLC.

    I keep playing TotK and I’m also 65 hours in. I’m taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven’t even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

    I’ll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

    I’m supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

      I just went to South west part one day before. Was holding on the final regional quest before that and doing some side quests. What made me go there instead of doing some more exploration was the Tears. Need to know more of the story!

      MK11 is fun. I am not a big MK player, but playing both 10 and 11 as they were available on PS+. I am looking forward to MK1, looks exciting. What do you think about it?

      Doom is great, have fun with your physical copy!

    Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.

    I’m waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK
