What are you playing, Nintendo edition.

Super Mario Bros 2 (the "real 2") on the Game and Watch... first time playing this title and it's lots of fun. Has a lot of sound effects from Mario 3 I notice, like the skidding sound

Tried that Boomerang Fu. Great game. Definitely one for local game night.
Just powered up BOTW for the first time in over 2 years according to my game save. Beat the shrine id left off at. Remember getting frustrated at it over 2 years ago and moving on. For the week that's in it with Age of Calamity coming out I'm gonna dive back into this for the next few days.

Really enjoying Redeemer, a top-down slasher/shooter. There's nothing original there but the movement and the flow of the action is very satisfying...

Skyrim.

God I love Skyrim.

Over the weekend picked up:

Crysis, Metro, Metro 2033, Bioshock Collection, Borderlands Collection.

Forgot how much fund Borderlands is - plays great handheld or big screen.
Might get to finish Crysis/Metros this time around....

I do need to stop adding to my backlog though.....
[discovered today that dekudeals will give a cost of your collection... that was sobering ]

Finished Return of the Obra Dinn last night, 100% completion.

What an amazing game. I loved the story, the graphical style and most of all the mechanics of the game - no other game has made me feel like a true detective. The only fault I can give it is that the ending is not a stand-out, even the good 100% ending. The journey is more rewarding than the ending.

I would say it is the best game I have played all year and giving it's uniqueness I won't be forgetting it in hurry.

I was lucky to grab it on sale a few months back for €9.99.

Very highly recommended.

Picked it up a few weeks back and only played an hour or so. Id say its the type of game you'd need to stick with. Did full play through take long?

Played a couple of hours of Crosscode over the last 2 nights. The rave reviews are warranted - it's a great game.

The story seems good (word is that it gets really good).
It's an action RPG (not turn based) and it has lovely pixel art and music.

The main story is about 30 hours, but double that if you want to do everything.

Today is the last day at sale price (€11.50 in Russia, €13.99 here).
Goes back to €19.99 tonight.

I've played loads more XCOM 2 and it just gets better. Played for hours last night, the only reason I stopped was I ran out of battery.

The only thing I'd advise is to turn off the action cam. It is pretty janky (it was on PC also). The game plays and looks much better without it.

Otherwise, this is an amazing port.

Haven't played my Switch in a while but the last game was Link's Awakening. Much enjoyed and fairly breezed through it - but with one quick google to save time (not sure how to do spoilers but "ribbit").

I'm guessing this is just a simpler game than A Link to the Past, as all handheld games tend to be imo (maybe by design?), but it often strikes me that I've actually gotten a lot better at (certain types at least) games compared to when I was a kid. IDK, I suppose you pick up all the ticks and language of games and kind of see what you're supposed to do.

But when I was young? Jesus brutal. A game like Super Metroid would have me going all the way to the corner of the map, look around pointlessly and find nothing, wonder did I properly check the other corner room, go back, look around pointlessly and find nothing, wonder did I properly check the other corner room...:rolleyes:

Maybe I'm just a simpleton

Playing Grindstone. Only released a few weeks ago on switch and is 25% off until end of month. Was previously exclusive to Apple Arcade on ios devices. I can see why, this is a fantastic puzzle game. Don't sleep on it...
