Finished Yoshi and the Mysterious Book!

Well, at least the credits rolled, there is post game content but the little bit of what I have played, requires much more skill. I still have all the stuff I left in the previous levels though, have to go back and complete that at least.

Going to keep playing and try to complete the encyclopedia as much as I can, not sure I'll be to get everything, specially the post-game ones. Will probably put it aside as primary game and just play it here and there for completion. Have been itching for a JRPG so will probably start one now.

Finished Onimusha: Warlords!

It wasn't a long game, maybe 5-6 hours total, and if remove all the unskippable scenes that I had to see multiple times cause I died on the boss, it would've ended even sooner.

The game has many similarities with the early Resident Evil games so looked up the details and apparently the original idea of the game was "Ninja Resident Evil". Though, fortunately the puzzles in this game aren't as convoluted, and there are very few of those around.

Loved the game, even with the dated elements, the game is fun to play. I'll recommend it to action game fans, if they have some patient for older elements like fixed camera, saving at fixed places, and unskippable scenes.

Started Owlboy on Switch. It has been on my wishlist for a long time, so decided to get it on latest sale. I'll mainly be focusing on Switch 2 games for next few months (Yoshi, Star Fox, Splatoon Raiders), but when kids are hogging that, need something on Switch to play too.

I have just started it and played less than an hour, so can't really say much about it, but the graphics and gameplay looks interesting.

Played more of Fallout 4.

After reaching the Diamond City the game seems to have slowed down. Since it's the biggest city around, there's a lots to do here and the surrounding, but this means the "exploring the wilderness" feel has dimmed down a bit.

Also played some Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Arc Raiders, not much to mention here.

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

Finished Minishoot' Adventures!

Great little game, just wish it was longer. I know ~7h is not bad for a cheap indie, but I was having a lot of fun and it left me wanting more. Would purchase a sequel Day 1.

Playing Horizon Chase Turbo!

I got this alongside all DLCs when they announced the game was going to be delisted.

It's an old-school arcade racer, developed by a brazilian team and heavily inspired by the SNES game Top Gear. It also has a few interesting expansions, a "Summer Vibes" homage to Out Run, and "Senna Forever" referencing Super Monaco GP while also bringing a career mode based on Ayrton Senna, a brazilian F1 pilot from the 80s and 90s. Finally there's a free "Rookie Series" with easier gameplay for those starting in the genre.

I finished all the DLC bundles first, and while the game as a whole has been a big nostagia trip for me the Senna DLC hit me the hardest - I have a lot of memories watching his races when I was a kid, and despite being a non-licensed F1 game they did a marvelous job capturing that age of the sport. The teams and tracks are "fictional" but you can easily recognize the references, plus there's a lot of key moments of his career depicted in-game.

I've also started the "main" game, but this one will take a while, looks like it has more than 100 races!

Playing Witch on the Holy Night!

Back to this after a bunch of distractions. Finished chapters 8, 8.5 and 9.

Horizon Chase Turbo is great. I got the physical version and really enjoyed it. The music by Barry Leitch is incredible. I used to play Top Gear on the SNES a lot, a friend used to have it. It's definitely made with lots of love and respect for the original Top Gear (it was massive in Brazil!). Barry Leitch also wrote the music for the SNES game, and he pays homage to some tunes in Horizon Chase. Now I feel like going back to playing it 😁

Horizon Chase Turbo 2 I only got digital on Switch. I don't think there was a physical release at all. Unfortunately, it didn't come out in a great state and didn't manage to hook me as much as the first one. I think it never got an update to fix some of its issues, I never went back to playing it. Unfortunately, the studio Aquiris was acquired by Epic and apparently everyone was put to work on Fortnite stuff (not sure if this is true, but read it on the community discord).

I think 5-10 hours is a good spot for a game like this, and game ending with wanting you more is better than overstaying the welcome, but yeah, I understand the feeling.

As for Horizon Chase Turbo, I loved the game, but it has lots of rubber banding, specially after the first couple of cities. @picandocodigo@lemmy.world
