Didn’t play much this week. Mainly continuing with Dragon Age: Inquisition, plus some more puzzles in The Last Campfire.

My wife, who generally doesn’t play games, got back into Tetris 99, even reaching 2nd in a gruelling match. Also playing some single player Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

What about all of you? What have you been playing? Or planning to play over the weekend?

    I recently started Digimon Cyber Sleuth! I’ve never played a Digimon game before but this one has been fun so far. There definitely seems to be more of a push to constantly evolve your mons than Pokémon.

      Cyber Sleuth is pretty highly rated. I was thinking about starting this or Octopath Traveler, but then went with Octopath Traveler. Will get to it soon-ish though.

              Hehe, same here. Except my list have games from a decade ago too, like Dragon Age: Inquisition that I am playing right now. Silver lining is, even if we don’t get any new game that catches our interest, we still have enough games to last us a long, long while.

                I do love going back to older games! The Steam Deck is particularly great for that. Will take me years to catch up on everything I want to play 😅

    Been playing Paper Mario some more. Beat Chapter 2 and got the quest to go a few floors down the Pit of 100 Trials to save a Toad’s dad, which is always my cue to go way further down to level 50 and get the inventory upgrade, since I’m already there. It’s quite nerve-wracking to go down there with 10HP, but I made it and I was only caught by surprise and lost my Life Shroom once. Would have been easier if I hadn’t insisted on tattling every new enemy, but you just gotta! It was a nice preview, it’s not like I’ll have any more health at the end of the game when I go all the way.

    Progressed further in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and unlocked the Mahjong Parlor. And I have finally done it, I’ve won a game with Thirteen Orphans, a hand I have been chasing for literal years! Not just in Yakuza games, but Mahjong games on the Super Nintendo as well. And while doing that, I have learned that you can steal tiles from a Kan. I thought it was all over when the last tile I needed was put to the side in a pile of 4, but I was allowed to call Ron! I guess I should return to the story now. I think someone important was bleeding out or something…

      Congratulations on getting Thirteen Orphans. Though I don’t know what rest of all that means. Maybe I need to watch some tutorials for Mahjong.

        Honestly, 99% of what I know about Mahjong I learned from the ingame tutorials in Yakuza 0 and I went in with zero knowledge. I knew so little, I thought the tiles you threw out were your hand.

          I played it in Yakuza 1, and not sure if it was because I was pretty young or the tutorial wasn’t good enough, but I didn’t understand anything from it. So, after that, I started ignoring Mahjong in all other Yakuza game. Maybe I should give it another try.

    I bought Vandals on the Switch. It’s more Hitman GO than Laura Croft GO, but still good. Good soundtrack too.

    Off the Switch I’m playing Destiny 2, (still haven’t finished TFS,) amd seeing what my new, (to me,) Linux can handle with an integrated GPU. Thus far its hiddle folks and GeForce Now on a chromium browser.

      Vandals looks nice. I somehow missed it. Added to wishlist.

      I am waiting for Destiny 3. Tried getting into 2, and loved the gunplay but felt completely lost with narrative, so waiting for a point where a new comer can jump in and enjoy the game.
