What are you playing this weekend? 2023-07-21

Hello Everyone!

This week's post got a bit late due to some personal matters. Sorry about that. As for the games. I did not want to start any big game, and take care of some smaller games that I have been meaning to try for a while, ended up starting multiple games. 😢

  • I have moved The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to a secondary game, so while I am going to play it here and there, I am not going to focus on it anymore.
  • Playing Carto, it's a beautiful, small, puzzle, indie game. If you have played the board game Carcassonne, you should love it. Basically, you have to solve puzzles by moving the map pieces around (and some other stuff). Highly recommended! It's a very small games, I have done about 60%, going to try to finish it this weekend.
  • I started New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, have been meaning to play it since it released but there was always something else that I wanted to play first, but with Wonder releasing soon, finally started it. I have just cleared the first (Acorn) world. Loving the game and platforming, but not a huge fan of timer in each level. It's usually not a big deal, but when you are going slow, trying to find all secrets, it finished up pretty quickly.
  • Also started Fire Emblem (GBA version) on NSO, and I am enjoying it a lot more than Three Houses, the only other FE game I have played (playing, technically).
  • Finished The Order 1886. A wonderful game that still holds up really well, both gameplay and visuals. But it was too short. A sequel could've been great.

That's all from me. What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play this weekend and beyond? And how are you liking it?

  • After 100 hours of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I decided to take a break. From the initial 4 temples, I am just missing the one in Gerudo, but I'm on my way there and done some quests in Gerudo. But as I've mentioned before, I know I'm going to be playing this game for a while. So I'll get back to it here and there too and get a few long sessions for specific things (the temple, more of the story, etc.) every now and then.

    I've been playing Pikmin 4 since Friday. I shared my initial impression on the other thread. I still agree with that after a few more hours, but it's been fun. I like that it's very relaxed and easy. Although the timer for the day keeps going, I don't have the pressure to finish in x amount of days like in Pikmin 3.

    I started New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, have been meaning to play it since it released but there was always something else that I wanted to play first, but with Wonder releasing soon, finally started it.

    I've been thinking of doing this same thing 🤔

    • Yeah, I am about the same. Going to keep playing it, want to finish most of the side quests and get the armour pieces.

      Are you out of the tutorials time range? Or still getting them?

      Mario is pretty great. Really enjoying it, highly recommended.

      • I'm past the tutorials yes, it's just the first hour or so but it's really annoying. After that you do get some text from NPCs, but it's not as annoying. It's pretty relaxed and fun now!
