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?

I finished Bubsy 4D and moved on to Yooka-Replaylee. Initially Yooka-Replaylee hadn't hooked me that much, but I'm having fun just now. It looks so good on the Switch 2 with the latest updates. I'll (try to) finish it before Star Fox comes out. I played the Star Fox demo and it looks amazing, it'll be my main game once it comes out on the 25th.

I got NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition for the Switch after so many recommendations (and seeing it was low stock where I buy my games). I only played for a bit over an hour and enjoyed it. But it's going to my backlog. I'll save it for when I can give my full attention to it and not have to play it along 6 months or a year.

On the retro front, I'm playing Rockman & Forte for Super Famicom.

I am also looking forward to Star Fox, haven't played the demo yet though, will try it just before the game releases so that I can continue right away if I like it.

How does NieR: Automata looks and plays on Switch? It's on my list of games to play soon, but I am not sure if I should get it on PS or Switch.

I only played a bit over an hour and didn't notice any performance issues. I'd assume the PS5 version looks better though. But it works fine on the Switch. It's a Switch 1 game though, now I want all my games to have a free Switch 2 upgrade 😆

Heh. Same here.
