Finished Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed! I had already completed about three quarters of the game, so spent the whole weekend to finish it.

The game was a joy to play, though as mentioned before, it could be because of my nostalgia for Mickey Mouse. I didn't collect everything, and accidentally failed couple of side quest since I didn't realise there are multiple ways to do things, the good and the bad. Didn't have any issue after that though, since you can't move to next location accidentally, you can take your time clearing the area and take care of all the quests.

I liked the ending, how it shows how your actions affected all the places. The game isn't an RPG but I always enjoying seeing this kind of endings.


Started, and finished, Dungeons of Dreadrock. It's a puzzle game in style of top down dungeon crawlers. You have to decend 100 levels to rescue your brother and each level is a single screen puzzle where you have to figure out how to open the door or evade the traps or kill the enemies to go to the next level.

The puzzles weren't too hard, though I did get stuck on two of them, fortunately game has in-built hint system that can help you when you aren in a pinch. It wasn't a long game. Finished it in two days, but got it for $1.99 so no complaints there. Recommended for puzzle fans.


After that, started Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition. I knew what the game was about, but it feels depressing to play. I prefer happier games, so not sure if I'll actually finish this or not. I have only played the prologue yet though, so might feel differently after playing some more.


Playing it a little bit of Pokémon Pokopia each day, without spending too much time on it. Just enjoying the relaxed paced of the game.

Completed the next Pokémon center, now need a specific type of Pokémon to complete a building required for the story quest but haven't been able to get it. If I don't get it soon will just move to the next area and come back later, should have unlocked more other items by then that should help me get the rest of the Pokémon.


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

April sucked for me and i haven't played much in weeks. I was laid out by allergies and lost a lot of sleep, plus other things I'll keep to myself. But that's all behind me and I'm ready to pick everything back up.

Last I played Visions of Mana, I swapped classes so that physical attacks regenerate MP, so my Palamena can use magic more aggressively.

I actually did play a bit of Mario Kart World again before things (and me) went down and I hope to pick that up again, too. The changes to Free Roam were long overdue, but now it's finally playable for completionists.

Fallout 3 was the only game I kept going since I record it. Followed up on the main story again and visited Rivet City. There's a little more to do in the vicinity and then it's back to roaming the wastelands again!

Glad to see things are better now.

I recently got back into MK World too. Not enough to specially mention it, but playing a bit here and there. Completing all cups and unlocking the remaining characters.

I LOVE the Danganronpa franchise and I hope you’ll love it, too. It isn’t for everyone, but as a visual novel, it is amazingly engaging. Every entry of the game I play has a predictable pattern: chapter one takes a month, chapter two takes two weeks, chapter three and four take a weekend each, and then I’m playing every free moment until the end. The twists and turns of the stories really catch me.

I recently started watching Danganronpa fan game long plays on YouTube just to catch that feeling from when I played the first one. Heck, I bought the edition you have and never played it since I already played the whole series. I love when a series makes me a fan for life.

For my playtime, Persona 5 seems like it is about to take me into the final chapters. The day by day progress is a really neat feature that I kind of skipped over. As a teacher, my civics class is a day-to-day process, too, so it is neat to see life modeled in a game so well.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have heard a lot about it, and went it with high expectations. My gaming tastes have changed a lot over the year though, and these days I don't care about anything too depressing (there is real for that 😀 ). Still, it depends on the game (or book or movie), so hoping to get into it as the game progresses.

Wow, you reached the Persona 5 ending very quickly. How long did it take?

[–] MisterDeutsch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m over eighty hours. It is eating my weekends up! I need to finish so I can focus on my end-of-year stuff for school, I think.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Haha, good luck!

Bit of a weird one, but I have four demos downloaded and lined up for tonight!

DK Bananza

Tomadachi Life

Star Wars Outlaws

Pragmata

I haven't really played demos in forever and it's already making me nostalgic for when I was a kid in the 90s. Looking forward to trying these out and reporting back!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, we are getting demos for many games. Still less than we should IMO, but at least things have improved.

Tomodachi Life

It consumed me completely.

It's a fantastic game but it goes through a lot of dark spots during its course. I love it but it might not suit your tastes.


Playing the Super Robot Wars Y - Expansion Pack!

Shout out to the developer for the new free stages they added to the base game, they are two cool sets of "flashback" missions. The first one shows some key events prior to the beginning of the game, and the second one gives you the opportunity to play as some of the villains in a side-quest to hunt down a group of deserters.

As for the DLC, I've finished all the side content and I'm working on the main story, should be around ~80% now according to the wiki.


Playing Vampire Crawlers!

New side-game, a mix of dungeon crawler and deckbuilding in the Vampire Survivors universe. So far it feels a bit too shallow to have the same longevity of something like Slay the Spire, but it's definitely fun.

Currently trying to beat level 6-7 stages.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I knew that going on, so prepared for a bit, let's see...

Adding free stages to base game is pretty good. Nice devs!

I played quite a bit of Vampire Survivors on PC but not enough. Have been thinking of getting it on Switch. As for Crawlers, I have seen the trailers and reviews, but its not attracting me much, maybe one day.

Continued with Octopath Traveler II.

By now my Ochette pretty much one shots most random encounters, her whole kit of monsters is just a collection of strong multi target attacks. Since these don't even cost mana, there's not much reason to switch it up. Once I've fully levelled her Merchant job, it will be her latent power AOE every fight instead.

Funnily enough, I'm not even that much overlevelled. I've done all stories up to Lv 30 (Well, almost - since the first character is fixed until their story is done, I've got 2 teams of 3 I rotate between. Hikari will be a solo run afterwards.) and I'm level 34 with Ochette. About 31 with the other three I took along.


Also watched my partner play a ton more Tomodatchi Life. One they had enough of it, we've also got Danganronpa THHAE from the recent sale lined up. I don't know much about it, but seems like a big jump in terms of atmosphere coming from AI: Somnium Files.

How are you enjoying OT 2, compared to OT 1?

Yeah, Danganronpa is interesting, I have played it more and getting into it.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's been a while since I played the first one, it was my very first Switch game and OT II is probably one of my last ones before I get a Switch 2 (...assuming Monolith announces anything). Overall, I feel I enjoy them roughly the same. OT II improved on almost every front, except for the most glaring issues I had with the first one. I still think both are good games, though.

Finally finishing up DK Bananza, and been playing a ton of Mario Kart World lately!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nice. Loved Bananza! Are you going for 100% or just doing the main quest.

[–] hoboshrimp@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mostly just the main quest but I can't help myself from doing a bit of collecting and side quests here and there.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, collecting is lots of fun in this game.
