Hello Everyone,
I keep saying I only play one game at a time, but I keep starting multiple games. Generally, my rule is one big game, with one smaller game, to keep things fresh. Recently started playing a bit of multiplayer, so added one multiplayer game too. Going to keep it like this now.
- Still playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Playing it slowly, reached the Water world (don't remember the name), chose it over the snow one, will play that after clearing water one.
- Resumed my play-through of Dragon Quest XI, I have assembled the full party, and am about 25 or so hours in. Going to play this regularly now, as my primary game.
- Resumed Monster Hunter: World. Took a break of couple of weeks, now catching up to my friends, will most probably just play it as MP game, with some session here and there to grind / farm some specific gear or something.
Other than these, some smaller, side games:
- minit, I finished the game. It's a small, adventure game in black and white, where each run is exactly 1 minute long. Any puzzle you solve or item you obtain remain like that, but you die after 60 seconds, and respawn at your home (or one of the other specified location, if you reach them). You can finish the game in 3-4 hours. I just tried it on a whim, but really enjoyed it. If you don't mind the graphics and such games, you should definitely try it.
- barato: I was somewhat interested in Vampire Survivors coming to Switch this month, but when I posted about barato, people praised it, and I noticed the "Overwhelmingly Positive" on steam, which intrigued me. Then some more comments on the launch trailer I posted yesterday... long story short, I got the game. And it's very addicting. Though, embarrassingly I still haven't been able to complete a full run. I would be feeling very OP, and the my overconfidence would get me killed. This is going to be, "in-bed-before-sleep" game.
See, just one game at a time!
So, what have you all been playing?
Somehow still on Trails into Reverie, LMAO.
I was planning on tackling the final dungeon during this week, but instead I ended up going go crazy with optional stuff and doing everything that was available in the Reverie Corridor.
Doing that alongside doing the remaining events in Crossbell took me most of the week.
I left a save yesterday right in front of the exclamation point that triggers the continuation of the main storyline, so I'll resume this today and hopefully be done with the main story before the end of the weekend. I heard there's plenty of post-game content but I'm unsure if I'll play that right now as well or if I'll take a break.
Oh, and the VNs I mentioned last week did indeed arrive - this is the second half of "Grisaia Phantom Trigger" and also "Little Busters", both games are japanese version but include english text, and I've already decided to start Grisaia after I'm done with Reveri.
Heh, don't worry about it. With the games I am currently playing, I am expecting to keep posting these same one for next 5-6 weeks at least. Maybe for a lot longer for DQ XI and MH:W. And it just means you are enjoying the games, so that's always good.
I still haven't gotten to any of the VNs you recommended last time (and with my backlog it will be a while before I get to any of those, also when I get that VN itch, I want to play through the Phoenix Wright trilogy first). But I am going to ping you once I do play them.
Looking forward to hear about the VNs next week! ๐
I'm more surprised than anything - I'm not one that usually tries to 100% JRPGs, but for some reason I could not stop going crazy trying to do all the optional content in this one.
Anyway, quick update: Did the final dungeon yesterday, saved right in front of the boss room because it was a getting late and I know it's going to be a long battle with a ton of cutscenes.
Also, to my surprise, I actually managed to get every single treasure chest in this one! And I'm pretty sure I'll be getting all profiles as well, the ones missing will likely unlock with the final scenes. Not something you usually do in Trails games without using a guide.
That's nice. Guess you liked this game a lot more than you expected. Time to finish the last boss now!
Already done! :D Right now working on some post-game stuff.
I'll post a write up/mini review on next week's thread.
Nice! Looking forward to it!
