Re: What Are You Playing? (November 2023)

Since platinuming Spidey 2 late last month, I don't have any solo games going right now. Next up will probably be Crisis Core (PS5) or Dead Island (XSX), but I'm not quite sure which yet.

I'm still playing through Super Mario Wonder with my wife, and we've cleared out half of the cloud snake things around Bowser's fortress.

If I have time these days it’s Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield. I’ll occasionally play a few levels of SMB Wonder.

I have a few Gamepass titles waiting in the wings but no rush.

Dropped Callisto Protocol. While graphics were some of the best I've seen, the game bored me to tears.

Started:



And with the hype of 6 I started back up

On the Switch. I started it again a while back but never got too far, I'm around half way thru this time. Forgot how tedious some aspects of it were, but I don't think I ever actually finished it.

Edit: Welp, finally finished that one after 30 years. Still a ton o fun but yeah the bows and Power Ring kinda messed me up. The ending made it feel like it was in the same universe as Nier Automata.

I'm about a third of the way through Dead Island 2 (just started "Michael Anders and the Holy Grail"), and I'm having a phenomenal time. Puts the "gore" in "gorgeous" for sure; easily in the running as the best-looking game I've played this year. Still haven't gotten the hang of blocking as Ryan yet, but I'm working on it.

I'm playing the full release of Coral Island that came out this week. I'm a sucker for relaxing farming and crafting games.

Been bouncing back and forth between FFIX (PS1 on a PS2) and FFXII (PS2). I just enjoy the hell out of a good FF RPG.

Re: What Are You Playing? (November 2023)

I've been playing Resident Evil 4 VR, but I'm finding the first village just as frustrating as the first time I played on the Wii. I get that I suck, but it's something about the weapon switching mechanic. I can get a headshot or kneeshot really quickly whenever I want, but I'm still getting repeatedly slaughtered. It is fun in VR, though, and I assume I'll eventually accidentally survive.

Just finished the Lake DLC, headed into Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Also going to get the Disney Dreamlight Valley DLC in a little over a week and hit that up.

Re: What Are You Playing? (November 2023)

I just wrapped up The Talos Principle 2 last night and may go back for some of the optional side stuff, though I caught a fair bit of it on my first playthrough. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who liked the first or is just a general fan of extremely well-made puzzle games. I feel like this one was a smidge easier than the original, with only a handful of puzzles that really stumped me for more than 5-10 minutes. It's definitely my most pleasant surprise of the year, as I loved the original and had no idea that a sequel was even in the works. It was an instant buy when I saw it in the Xbox store, and it was easily worth full price ($30).

If anyone's unfamiliar with the series, this trailer gives a pretty decent impression of the feel of the games and the art design of the new one.

I loved the first Talos Principle so looking forward to checking out the sequel. I have to many games to play through in December so I might have to wait until next year to play it.
