Finished Fire Emblem: Three Houses !
Well, the first route any way.
Bought the DLC after that, to try the DLC classes and added features, but it said you have to play the DLC before you can use the DLC features in main game, so started that now. I think you only need to complete Chapter 1 or 2 for that, but since I have started it, going to complete it before switching back to next route in main game.
DLC is much tougher than the main game, the battles are much longer, and you have limited money, so you have to be careful about weapon durability too. Also, you can certify for any other class, though you can switch between the couple that are already unlocked for each character.
Played a bit of Hyrle Warriors: Age of Calamity. Finished another main mission. Slowly playing through it.
Tried Dimension Drive for a bit and kept dying in that platforming section, I have realised this twitchy reflexes gamesplay isn’t for me anymore, so officially dropping it too. I still have a list of shmups I was recommended here, so will try a couple of more (Dimension Drive wasn’t from the recommendation list), but it is feeling like it’s not a genre for me.
Again no Judgment this week. Plan to get back into it this weekend, let’s see.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

When the Switch first came out, I got BotW with it and I just couldn’t get with it, It just didn’t ‘click’ for me.
I repurchased it with the Switch2 and got the upgrade pack, I’m loving it the second time trying it. I’ve got all 4 bosses down and will get a bunch more hp/stamina before I go to the castle. I’m not in too much of a rush as I’ve still got so much to see and I’ve got TotK after (which did click when I got it on the S1 but will restart save for a fresh playthrough).
Still working through Xenoblade X. Finally got the ability to fly! I remember when this happened on the Wii U, I was so excited I took the test robot you’re just supposed to fly out to a rock and back around the entire world instead. It’s one of the reasons why I love this game, how many big open world games allow you to fly freely like that? Though I definitely overdid it and made myself run out of world to explore back then, so I’m taking it slow this time. Just patched up the holes in my satellite system for now.
Wild Arms 2 is also progressing smoothly. It’s weird how many small things I remember, but important events feel completely new to me!
Monster Hunter Wilds introduced Arch Tempered Nu Udra recently and once again, it hits pretty damn hard! The Switch Axe’s most powerful attack gives you Super Armor and that’s actually causing problems here! One of his attacks will just flat-out kill me because it doesn’t knock me back and thus hits me multiple times! And if he winds up that attack after I’ve already started charging mine, I’m just stuck anticipating a death I know I can no longer avoid. Which means I need to exercise restraint, a word that doesn’t exist in the brain of a Switch Axe user!
Playing Super Robot Taisen Y!
Reached chapter 6 and got a cool new attack for the Yz-Lunedrache. Also got to the point of the game you have to make your ending choice and went with the “B” route, which is supposed to be the harder one.
Ending Choice
I barely met Izana and it’s entirely possible she’s a victim of Dr. Yagami, but she was being shitty to Echika and big sis Forte can’t tolerate that. So I picked the “rejection” choice and and we’ll see where this leads us.
Happy that once again you can recruit the “alternate” protagonist, I finished the “Relic of Gold” missions and got Cross in my team. He seems more fun than I expected, but given how long this game is I don’t think I’ll do a second run with him as the lead.
Playing Nine Sols!
Lady Ethereal was an insanely hard boss and almost got me to finally drop from “standard” difficulty, but after a billion* attempts I managed to beat her. Incredibly fun battle though, despite all those deaths I never got frustrated. The buildup for the battle was also amazing and added a lot to the experience.
I’m really enjoying this game. Bosses are challenging but fair, exploration is rewarding, and the feeling of “growth” of your main character as you get more upgrades is great. One additional highlight is the story, there’s a lot of cool comic-book style cutscenes and plenty of dialogue with NPCs adding lore and character building.
(*) It’s a hyperbole but I died a ridiculous amount of times to this boss.
I’ve been enjoying BALL X PIT. Breakout/Araknoid inspired metaprogression roguelike.
Was going to ignore it because of roguelike, but I am hearing great things about it, has even been recommended by a friend.
Perhaps I’m biased as roguelikes are one of my main genres, but it’s definitely on the -lite end of the spectrum IMO and should be enjoyable for anyone who thinks a full feature brick-breaker game sounds interesting. The classics were level/round based anyway, so the balatro style presentation really works.
Oh, Age of Calamity! I got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and I am loving it. 60fps is how these games were meant to be played! I’m only a few hours in, but it’s incredibly fun and one of the best games this year for me. It has everything I enjoyed about Age of Calamity, but it looks and runs so much better. I love the BotW/TotK stuff, and Koei Tecmo do such a good job with Zelda storytelling (whereas Nintendon’t). I think I’ll be playing this continuously until Metroid Prime 4 comes out (and even after that too).
Last week I mentioned TMNT: Splintered Fate. I finally got to play it! I went straight to online with my cousin, not knowing much about it. It’s fun, but challenging! We did a few runs of the sewers and the furthest we got is we managed to beat Karai, but lost against the punk frogs. I guess we need to learn a bit more about upgrades and such, but we got our asses kicked! We’ll probably play some more on our own and hopefully be better prepared for our next session.
Yeah, Age of Calamity, then Fire Emblem Warriors, and then Age of Imprisonment, so it’ll probably be 3-4 years before I get around to it 😀
That’s the thing with roguelikes that I don’t like, but TMNT is TMNT, so going to give it a try at least.
