Hello Everyone!
Another week without me playing too much.
- Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
- Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there’s one puzzle near the end that I couldn’t figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can’t figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn’t get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
- Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.
Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.
What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?

Still on Trails into Reverie.
Long game is long, but I got some good progress this week. Reached the final chaper, did the whole intial section and I’m now free to explore Crossbell while preparing for what I assume is the final dungeon.
However, there’s a ton of extra content that I want to clear before moving on, so I’m now rotating between:
Going to all locations marked as “NEW” on Crossbell for the extra bosses/eventsDone!Doing runs of Stratum 4 of the Reverie Corridor to unlock the missing Daydreams/Minigames/Bonus CharactersDone!Playing the remaining DaydreamsDone!- Playing minigames - Pom Pom Party is addictive, but besides that there’s some minigames that include additional story bits like the one about the Tyrfing S
But I think I’ll finally be able to beat the game during this next week. Which would be good because I got two VNs coming from Play-Asia and looking at the tracking information they should arrive soon.
Edit: Also just found out there’s a free book for this game with the backstories of two of the new characters. It’s available in-game and also on the official website. I just finished converting so I can read this on the Kindle, which honestly sounds like it was worth the effort since it turned out to be even longer than I expected, almost 100 pages!
Nice. Seems like you are progressing well. Combination of playing a long game and then few small games goes really well together. That’s why after finishing TotK I am playing a few smaller games, before going back to Dragon Quest 11.
That book sounds interesting, with a game with such a deep lore, its nice to have a nice companion book giving some behind the scenes stories.
I know I’m late to the party but I actually beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe this weekend! I actually also found certain parts to be challenging but every time I tried to google for guides I found community after community talking about how absurdly easy it was. It was kind of surreal so I just wanted to validate your feelings about the challenge.
That being said, when I went back to replay older levels……it was way way way WAY easier and I found that I have progressed over the course of the game to have become pretty competent. The game’s difficulty curve trains you pretty well.
So, basically what you are saying is, “git gud”! 😀
Jokes aside, it’s nice to know I am not the only one, and there’s actually a difficulty curve for those who aren’t platforming experts. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah just to update you on that comment. I started playing Super Luigi U and I’ve been very humbled. I’ve been playing Toadette because this shit is hard. Like really hard.
Wow, that’s umm… nice to know. I don’t think I would try to finish Super Luigi U, but I would at least give it a try. Once I have finished Mario side, that is.
For New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, if you have one of the SNES controllers (or something similar), that may help. I found it played a bit better than the Pro controller, for some reason. Probably my muscle memory from playing so much SNES back in the day! I thought New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was really difficult to get through even though I played through and conquered the other Marios.
I think it’s the kind of game where it’s better to use the D-pad than the stick. And the D-pad from the Pro Controller is an absolute joke, registers random stuff all over the place. I use the 8bitdo SNES controller for anything that’s better to play with a D-pad.
Hmm… maybe I can try my DualSense, I have couple of adapters that allow you to connect different controllers with different systems. Would have to look up if they support DualSense.
I don’t have SNES contollers. Pro Controller is all I have (or JoyCon)
I might start NSMBUD myself, we’ll see. I’m still playing Dragon Quest and it is really heating up. Love this game. Also I think there’s a Rilaboom available in SV Pokémon raids this weekend, so I’ll fight for that.
I need to get back to DQXI too, but after TotK, trying to clear some smaller games before fully getting into such a long game again. How many hours in are you?
Good luck with the raid!
Husband plays Tears of the Kingdom while I’m at work, farming resoures and fighting. I take over in the evenings to do the questing and puzzles that he doesn’t like.
I read it as, “While I am at work, farming resources and fighting for my family in real life, my husband is playing Tears of the Kingdom” 😀 Had to read it twice.
Are you both playing in same account? That seems like an interesting way to play. Maybe I can get my wife to play more games, if I let her do the stuff she like and take care of the things she finds annoying…
Will I ever stop playing TOTK?
Nope. Not for the forseeable future. 😎
Though there are some new tracks on Mario Kart 8 i might want to try a bit.

I was wondering what I had forgotten! New tracks on Mario Kart!
TotK is a game that you can play for a long long time. How far along are you?
storywise i just have to go for Ganondorf at this point. Currently exploring the depths and using it to track missing shrines.
Good luck!

I just picked up Mario + Rabbids. Just got to world 2 after beating Rabbid Donkey Kong and boy was that a difficulty spike. I’ve always been a big fan of Fire Emblem, and this is very fun with all the movement options and such.
Does anyone know how the sequel holds up? Obviously not a masterclass in terms of story, but very very fun gameplay.
That game was so much fun. Haven’t played the sequel yet.
Children of morta! I’m really enjoying it. Didn’t like rogue likes at all before 😮
What is it you like about this that you didn’t like in other roguelikes? Or this just feels good to play? Mainly asking because I don’t like rogue-likes, so if it’s a one that I may like regardless, it seems like worth a try (specially since it free with PS+ Extra)
Now that I finished Tears of the Kingdom, it’s time to get back to finishing the last two stories in Octopath Traveller 2.
Nice! Which 2 are left? I haven’t played it yet, but have seen all the characters.
The final chapters of Agnes and Partitio. And I guess there’s gonna be a final final boss again, like in the first game.
Regarding Super Mario Bros Ultimate, If you think it’s hard in the 2nd world wait till you get down the way. Especially the hidden levels and the star levels. But the game is very fun regardless.
This weekend I am off for vacation and left the Switch home so I am not playing anything
Playing no-build Fortnite with some buds tonight. Will try to get some Tears of the Kingdom or Octopath Traveller 2 in as well
I am not a fan of BR, but Fortnite has become pretty good, specially the no-build mode. The feel of the game has improved a lot since it’s earlier days.
How far along are you in Tears of the Kingdom and Octopath Traveller 2?

Exactly how I felt too. They regularly switch out weapons and items so it keeps it fresh, but a little frustrating when they take away something you like.

Not very far at all in totk, I thin I’ve done 10 shrines maybe. We have a new born in the house so that keeps me pretty busy. For octopath I’m nearing the end, most characters are high lvl 30s or 40s. Almost time to start some chapter 4s
Yeah, but they generally stay for whole season, so you know when to expect the change.
Good luck with TotK and OT2.
I’m falling deep into the Pikmin nostalgia hole. Bought Pikmin 1 and 2, played the crap out of them. Beat 3 two days before Pikmin 4 dropped, now my girlfriend and eye are casually taking turns (‘2 player’s mode’) working out way through that. I’m usually the type to like difficult and challenging games, but something about the chillness of this new one has got me in a good way.
Wow, nice! I am glad you are enjoying Pikmin! I should show it to my wife too, it looks like a kind of game she might enjoy.
3 is the best for an active 2 player experience (at least as far as the story goes). The multiplayer battle modes are good in both
Building my Eevee team in Scarlett ;)
Catch’em all!
Just picked up Moonlighter yesterday and already deeply addicted to the thrill of running my store
