Finished Pikmin 1.
I took a day more than a guide and had to replay couple of days (including the last one) multiple times.
Overall, I love Pikmin and the idea of the game, but I didn’t enjoy the actual game too much, mainly because time limits in games always give me a bit of anxiety, and I had to follow a guide and keep worrying about making sure I am not taking too much time, instead of just enjoying the game.
I think I would try to play Pikmin 2 without guide, and if I fail, I fail. Will try to keep an eye on the limit, but just play as I can. Of course it’s possible I change my mind when I actually start it, but I think playing that way will be more enjoyable.
Played more God of War: Ragnarok.
Can’t say much without spoiling the game, but with Zelda coming out at the end of next week, will try to finish it over the weekend.
Started Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?.
It’s a side-scrolling platformer in the world of Disgaea. Played it a little bit but I am not sure about it yet, will need to play some more to make up my mind.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Kingdom Two Crowns - wow, very addictive and enjoyable, still figuring it out.
I took a chance on Orbitals from the public library and have had a blast with my oldest as my co-pilot. My wife is also interest in watching it, too. I can see how this is perfect for net play; split screen is acceptable but limiting. My biggest complaint is the camera controls. Older gamers like me need flight simulator y-axis options.
I almost convinced myself to give up my crusade against game-key cards with Persona 3 Reload hitting a new physical low. Luckily (?), all the in-person store I went to didn’t have it in stock.
Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent just released a new character that is the beginning of a new power level of characters (according to those watching the slightly more advanced Japanese releases). I managed to Gatcha pull her and threw her level 1 self into a level 100+ team with no downsides. Next smattering of out of control characters is slated for December and includes a FFX crossover including Jecht, Tidus, and Rikku.
In tabletop news, I found a physical copy of Can’t Stop (1980). It’s such easy fun! I also read through all of Twilight Sword, a Zelda/hope spreading RPG. I can’t wait to set up a play session for that one!
Have you played other similar co-op games like, It Takes Two, or Split Fiction etc? Wondering if the camera is similar or feel more limiting.
Heh, unfortunately, I don’t think GKC are going anywhere. Most people don’t care about them and it doesn’t effect the sales much.
In tabletop, I just ordered the expansion packs of Dungeon Mayhem and Tic Tac KO. I also, almost ordered Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion but realised it might be too much for the kids.
Gloomhaven is called a lifestyle game: if it is the only board game you and your group are going to play, it is a good buy.
I am only interested in it cause I want to play a tabletop RPG without being able to DM. And since I am the most DM worthy person in the group, we need a non-DM tabletop RPG 😀
Completed the main story for Overcooked 1 and 2. We sped through it, surprisingly, with 3 stars on almost all levels. Not sure if we’re gonna do the DLC, or:
spoiler
try getting 4 stars on Overcooked 2.
Congratulations. 3 stars is pretty good. How many people did you play it with?
Enter the Gungeon is one of the games that made me realise that roguelikes aren’t for me. Dead Cells was another. Love the gameplay of both, couldn’t get much further in either of them.
Also been playing Enter The Gungeon on and off since January and I hate how bad I am at it haha.
My experience with MIO got me thinking if I could still enjoy harder platforming games, so I ended up doing a replay of Celeste to test this.
And yeah - that game still rocks. 1500+ deaths to finish the main story and at no point I got frustrated like I did with MIO. There’s a very important line between “hard” and “punishing” and Celeste is really well designed to never cross into the latter.
Wow, how long did it take you to finish Celeste?
I played it a bit, loved the gameplay, tough but not frustuating, but then I got stuck at a particular point. It was some reddish room and I couldn’t clear a particular section. Maybe it’s worth giving the game another try.
Wow, how long did it take you to finish Celeste?
~6h or so for the base game. Not sure if I’ll try the post-game, but I unlocked most of the B-Sides during this playthrough.
Maybe it’s worth giving the game another try.
I think Celeste is more about figuring out the path through a specific room than extremely precise platforming, so if you’re stuck maybe check a video for that section?
And if you’re still stuck after that you can always enable the assist to get past that spot.
Thanks, will check it out.
