[S2] means Switch 2 only.
Not much on the Switch at the moment - I finished Mario Wonder the other week (excellent game) and I think I'm near the end of Steamworld Quest. So I'm flicking between that and Picross S4 when I get time.
On PS5 I've borrowed a copy of FF7 Rebirth off a friend which I look forward to starting later! I was also gifted A Short Hike on Steam so maybe I'll give that a go :)
Quest is the only Steamworld game I never finished. How are you liking it?
I have played the FF7 Remake but haven't gotten around to Rebirth yet. Let us know how you like it.
The first 10 hours or so of Quest I really enjoyed. But I seem to have lost some motivation over the last couple of weeks. Once you find a setup that works, each battle becomes a bit samey. Hopefully I'll be able to push through and finish it soon.
I've heard great things about Rebirth and I really enjoyed Remake, so I've got high hopes!
Playing Xenoblade X!
Was not in a gaming mood but still made some small progress on this.
Got my Ares 90 Skell, laughed hard at how ridiculously broken it is (see my edit on last week's post for a video sample), did some further upgrading to it then went around the map cleaning all those Level 90+ Tyrants since they all die to a single attack now.
Also completed Chapter 13.2, so only one story mission to go.
Monkey Island 2, Maniac Mansion and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
I finished Portal 2 co-op mode a fair while ago (and the bonus levels that I honestly could have missed entirely, because it's not really indicated that they exist) and started the single-player mode. It's fine, and I'm interested to find out the details (although it's hinted at enough that I think I can guess), but I actually feel the single-player mode is a bit too long. You're moving through the levels, but I none of them have been that challenging and in the later game (assuming I'm near the end), a lot are just too straightforward. Possibly I was spoiled by the co-op mode and I would have liked the single-player mode more if I'd done it first.
Finished up the last bit or currently released content in Monster Hunter Rise. I'm still playing it to not get rusty and get all that equipment I'm still missing, but it's a secondary game from now on. The stories about High Rank Zoh Shia were highly exaggerated, it was way easier than Arch Tempered Rey Dau.
I should finally be able to focus more on Brothership now. The fourth 'world' has been kinda disappointing so far. Strong opening cutscene, but not much to talk about since.
I've started my third playthrough of Pokemon Infinite Fusion, my second Nuzlocke and first time playing Remix Mode. I barely made it past Brock without casualties, which taught me to be prepared for the worst.
