Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I'm still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I'm "only" 40 hours into the game.

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

Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don't even realize how much time I have put into it.

[–] piposaurus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.

I'm about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I'm definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.

Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.

Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I'll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.

[–] threeLetterMeyhem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.

Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I'm juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.

[–] Fais@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.

I'm waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK

[–] Kale@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hopefully a full weekend of Baldurs Gate 3.

Slowly collecting all the rare crops in Story of Seasons AWL. I wish I started earlier cause they make good money.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even know there is anything like rare crop in Story of Seasons.

How are you enjoying the game?

[–] spiderjuzce@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah there's a ton it's just really tedious if you want a lot unless you start early and use the seed maker. I'm still addicted to the game tho especially since my son is now a teenager and picking his career

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

Ah, okay. Got it. Thanks! Though I am not sure if you are talking about your actual son, or in-game one. 😀

[–] Youngsie@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm moving four hours across the country but I've been playing paper Mario 64 again on nso and having a blast. Basically killing time waiting for pikmin 4 !

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

Road Trip! Have fun!

[–] BillyZane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tears. I play games for a long time, so it’ll be another couple months with it.

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

Same here. Finished Xenoblade Chronicles in 6+ months. Though, when the game takes over a month or so, I usually add some smaller games to mix.

How far along are you? and how are you liking it?

[–] BillyZane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love it. It’s basically the same game as Breath of the wild, but the underground and sky island increase the map even more. Then the added building and fusing weapons makes it way more fun to play. I’ve finished the first three temples and am on to the last now.

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

Yeah, the new abilities make the game completely different.

Good luck with the last temple!

[–] fatmajimboo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower

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

A wide range of games!

It's nice to keep the backlog short, just don't force yourself to play anything, that burns you out.

[–] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that

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

Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.

How did you like them both?

[–] bananahammock@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.

Prepare to die a lot in both.

[–] cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.

[–] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am also playing zelda, but been jumping back and forth between it and Pokemon snap 64

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

How are you enjoying both games? And how far along are you in Zelda?

Also, if you care about it, someone recently created a community for sharing "snaps" from Pokemon Snap. https://lemmy.world/c/pokemon_snap@lemmy.piperservers.net (Making a relative link doesn't seem to be working at my end for some reason, so just shared the direct link)

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.

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

How far along are you in TotK?

And good luck with Gimmighoul and Chesnaught!

[–] Dougas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After 100 hours I've completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I've just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.

Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.

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

Wow, 100 hours and just 2 temples, you are doing some real exploration.

[–] pyyp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm also still on tears of the kingdom. My current goal is to finally do the airways to get the faeries to open up so i can upgrade my armor. Don't have so much free time these days, so I expect that to last me until super Mario wonder comes out.

Found this hidden gem (for me at least) "Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon" really like this game.

Have been thinking to try out other Bayonetta's too, even thought they are different style of games.

Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wolfenstein, Half Dead, & Ray Man!

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Rayman Legends I assume? Amazing game, maybe the best 2D platformer I've ever played.

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.

[–] Yazer@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just like last week, minesweeper for me. Great classic.

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

Minesweeper is a pretty good game. Which one are you playing? The one included with Windows? Or some other version?

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If Microsoft started releasing DLC for Minesweeper they'd make more money than the Acti-Bliz acquisition will ever make them.
