Played quite a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza, have reached the Feast layer, though I did miss a few things in previous layer so will go back to it later to collect everything.

This should be very near to the end, as the whole skill tree has been unlocked, and how the story is progressing. Not going to rush though, going to play at my own pace, collecting everything before moving forward.

Played a little Judgment, not much to add here. Will fully focus on it after finishing Bananza and AI: The Somnium Files.

Finished the next two routes in AI: The Somnium Files.

Apparently my first playthrough ended in what is probably “true ending route” (I am assuming), as you need to complete the other 3, Red, Yellow and Blue route before you can continue that.

I have finished Yellow and Red route, now to the Blue Route, which I am guessing is going to be pretty long, since it diverges on Day 2, while others do on Day 3 or 4.

It was interesting to see some more info about people and what’s happening, but there are still so many questions. Hopefully everything will be clear by the time I finish it.

I mentioned Diablo IV a few weeks back, but we are almost at the end. Just play it with friends, one night a week, but since we are mainly sticking with the main campaign, our progress isn’t that slow. Plan is to finish the game this weekend.

The game is fun, but I miss the Diablo II skill tree, that was much better than what we have now, IMO.

I’ll probably stop playing after that, but I do plan to return to it later, to play solo with other characters and do all the side stuff.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    Finished Blade Chimera!

    Another “short but good” metroidvania from Team Ladybug.

    Fantastic visuals (I really love the animations), flawless performance even on the Switch 1, excellent controls and gameplay. I also enjoyed the flexibility it offers in combat, melee/ranged/magic all feel good to use and well-balanced, leaving the choice of which one to use more to your strategy and personal preferences.

    There’s some rather unique choices in this game, with all the “classic” metroidvania movement improvements like sliding and double-jump being optional and acquired from a skill tree as you level up. They also included an amazing fast-travel option, which is a “Warp” mechanic that lets you jump to virtually any room in the map and makes backtracking non-existent - and you can unlock that the first hour of the the game!

    Overall I had a great time even though I still prefer the other games from the same developer (Touhou Luna Nights and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth) .

    Playing Witch on the Holy Night!

    Still on the “slow progress” stage.

    Playing CrossCode!

    Reached Chapter 8. Story took a surprising turn with some interesting twists and unexpected emotional moments.

    But to be honest I’m rushing things because I’m starting to get bored with this game - while there’s a lot of good stuff in it I also think it’s overstaying its welcome. Haven’t touched most recent sidequests, I’m no longer bothering with the environmental/plataforming puzzles, and will probably lower the difficulty to speed up battles.

    I think the main reason is that sidequests and environmental puzzes don’t feel rewarding, you spend a lot of time on them to just get some material for crafting/trades that you don’t really care much about.

      …(Touhou Luna Nights and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth) .

      Didn’t realise they are from same developer, I have all three of these on my wishlist. Should probably start playing them.

      Would you say CrossCode is still worth a play?

      Edit: Oh, and when are you starting Silksong? 😛

        Would you say CrossCode is still worth a play?

        So far I’d say yes, the main story (in particular the temples) is excellent. The issue I’m having is that I spent too much time on the optional parts to eventually figure out they aren’t very appealing to me.

        Edit: Oh, and when are you starting Silksong? 😛

        Already bought it and played 15min just to get a taste of it. 🙂 But I’m trying to resist going too deep on it before I finish CrossCode.

          Interesting, will keep it in mind whenever I get around to playing it.

          Good luck, with a game like this, I would find it difficult to resist, which is one of the major reason that I only buy one game at a time.
