Finished Sparkle 2, it's a throw-a-ball-to-match-3 kind of puzzle. Very similar to older Zuma game, if someone here remembers that. This was free on PS+ a while back and I have been playing since early 2025. It has around 90 or so levels and I'll usually play 2-3 here and there. Finally reached the end after about a year and half.

Fun game, if you like this kind of action puzzle games, this was an enjoyable experience.


Most of the time this weekend was spent on Lords of the Fallen (2014). There was objective, but it didn't say how to get there, so was a bit lost, but beat another another boss and reached the next one, so hopefully I am going in the right direction. This game is much easier than usual soulslikes, I cleared two areas without dying even once, even beat a boss without dying, that never happens for me.

There's a trophy for each boss, and from that it seems I only have 2 or 3 bosses left. Shouldn't be too long. Maybe 1 or 2 weekends more. Want to finish this before Yoshi's release.


Just started the second chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition. Things were fine for a little bit, but something seems to be up now, going to see if we can figure it out...


Played a bit more of Pokémon Pokopia nothing major here.


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

I have been playing through the ending of Persona 5 Royal for nearly a week now. I feel like the ending is nearly perfect. The dragging action of the ending fits with the ending as well, so it is hard to be mad. I want it to be done so that I can do new game plus, but a lot of my focus has been turning the random numbers of a Kahoot! Civics review into a simulated Decathlon for my students. They aren’t as into it as the basketball, that’s for sure!

Polishing off Animal Well, and then back to Gunvein and other shmups.

Did a lot less than gaming than I originally planned. Still on Octopath Traveler II.

My B team, consisting of Castti, Agnea and Partitio feels a lot weaker than the other one, even accounting for the missing fourth character. I probably need to rethink their classes before finishing their final chapters. However, it's hard to beat the automatic buff and debuff at night in combination with the automatic weakness revealed. I did finish up a lot of other things, like collecting all rusty weapons (all of which are equipped to Hikari for his solo run attempt) or the Commerce chapters from Partitio.


Started Danganronpa and also completed the first chapter with my partner. The first case was super obvious, but I really enjoyed the courtroom gameplay anyway. I expect the others to become increasingly more difficult. I hope nothing bad ever happens to Sakura.

Careful with the spoiler section, I don't know if the game play out the same each time or if murders differ between playthroughs.

My first caseLeon killed Sayaka, after initially being targeted by her.

I never trusted Sayaka to begin with, she just tried too hard to get my trust. Obviously, she either wanted to murder us or pin it on us.

Her death message could have been a fake out, but the way other characters couldn't read the letters at first glance made me disregard the possibility. Also, there's no way anyone but our baseball prodigy could have thrown that glass ball.

I was, however, super surprised by Junkos untimely demise. I'm going in blind, but I've seen her referenced quite a lot. Makes me think the murders aren't always the same, or she's somehow coming back. Either way, please don't tell me.

I feel so lucky to watch and @slimerancher@lemmy.world experience this game. I look forward to seeing y’all progress.

I will say that your spoiler observations make me feel like I have a very low level of attention to detail; almost everything I experienced in the game was a massive surprise to me!

Playing Yoshi’s Crafted World!

Needed a more relaxing game and this one seemed like a good option. It's fairly chill, though getting 100% in some stages can be surprisingly tricky - damn whoever decided to have those "retry the stage if you fail" challenges. Sure, you can rush through the stages and get back there in a minute or so but it's still very annoying.

Speaking of annoying, my god the OST in this game is painful. While the tracks are not that bad (but not good either) they're mind-numbing repetitive - the large majority of the stages either uses the main theme or variations of it.

But outside these two things the game is pretty good. Similar vibes to the Kirby games, though I'd definitely recommend Forgotten Land and Return to Dreamland over this one.

I really liked that one. Some parts were pretty challenging too, like you said. I had low expectations but was very surprised.

Went back and played a bit of Star Fox 64 after seeing the announcement of the re-re-remake. It's fun, but I think only if I play it like I did when I was a kid, by completely blowing off my allies and doing my own thing. Having to babysit my teammates while dealing with my own problems, as I think is intended, is significantly less fun.
