Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 15th)

Shantae and the Seven Sirens on my RTX 4090FE. Standard platforming fare but overall the game is good. Shame it's locked to 60FPS though.

Still two months in and I am continuing to play Tears of the Kingdom. I have never had such an all consuming game experience and whilst I don’t know when I’ll finish the game, I am still enjoying every moment of it.

Currently on a backlog cleanse, and am pleasantly surprised with how many great titles I seem to have acquired… but not yet played!

Last week I polished off Blasphemous (in advance of the sequel’s release next month) and really enjoyed it. The final boss absolutely put me through my paces, and probably the most I’ve struggled with a boss since Ishin the Sword Saint (Sekiro).

Next up is Disco Elysium, which I’ve started previously - albeit not been in the right headspace to play. Now I’m ready for something a bit more cerebral and ready to kick it off in earnest - really looking forward to it.

Plan is to get though Disco, and then also tackle the end of TOTK, before buying both Vampire Survivors and Blasphemous 2 next month

More MK8 Deluxe because of the recently released wave 5 as well as some Splatoon 3 for the Splatfest. Finished FFX earlier on in the week (it's a fantastic game) but figured it made sense to hold off starting FFX-2 because Pikmin 4 is so close.

-Game Gear 2 SMS on my everdrive
-Probably Zelda TotK

More Tears of the Kingdom and MK8 Deluxe.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Technically I have beaten the game - by which I mean I have seen Act II done and the credits rolled. However, as fans of the series are no doubt aware, that's not the end - not by a long shot. Sooo, it's on to Act III and Calasmos.

Really awesome series that I cannot believe I have never played before now.

Last week I finished playing an obscure old Nintendo game called Marvelous (fan-translated version). I enjoyed it a lot. Nintendo doesn't often make "point-and-click" style games, so seeing their take on the genre was fun and interesting.

This week I am playing another obscure old Nintendo game called Tomato Adventure (fan-translated version).

So far, Tomato Adventure is very silly, but doesn't have much substance gameplaywise. The combat is frequent and not very deep, and the dungeons are linear and pretty easy.
I'm not impressed so far, but I will stick with it for now.

I have got 5 out of the 10 endings in Afterimage, so I'm going to have a break as I have put in over 70+ hours into it and got to level 80. Obviously I love the game, one of my favourite Metroidvania's.

Moved onto Ender Lillies, absolutely loving this as well, another great MV.

Still plodding along with Totk with the family which is always good.

Just finished my first playthrough of Detroit Become Human, awesome game, can't wait to go through it again to open up different outcomes.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I beat Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition last saterday on Ps5 and I’m currently replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

I’m also still playing Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 Wilds on my Switch and Ps5 with friends.

Lastly I’m thinking of starting Final Fantasy VII Remastered and/or Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion on the Switch.

I'm playing Master Detective Archives : Raincode. I know this game is quite polarising, but I really love it! I so nearly didn't buy it because adventure games are not my jam but I'm so glad I did! It's not even that amazing of a story but there's something about it that tickles my brain in all the right ways. I also think it's the most beautiful game I've seen on Switch in a while.

I'm also continuing Moemon Emerald there are so many Pokémon added and they are all new to me thanks to this hack (all pokes are cute girls) so with my weird playstyle I'm so overwhelmed (In a good way) For context even Tentacool looks cute in this game.

Said playstyle involves me catching them all and evolving constantly to see what they all look like as I try and build a team, but my team ends up changing throughout the whole game xD I spend hours in one spot. Rusturf Tunnel, for example, doesn't just have Whismer, it has almost all the baby Pokemon available (and Porygon for some reason, it's so cool!)

@Ooyah
You reminded me I had Mr. Sun's Hatbox backlogged, I should get on that soon if it's that good!

Still making my way through Persona 4 Golden. Turns out it’s really long. I’m circa 55hrs in, it’s mid-September and I’m working through a “secret base”. Still terrific, but glad to be tackling a dungeon again after what feels like hours of story and social link grinding.

On PS5 i will be playing Final Fantasy 16, currently 65% done and it's been a blast so far and definitely moving closer to becoming my favourite FF title. I will also be playing some Atelier Marie Remake and Cat Quest which the latter I have found to be quite fun so far.

On Switch I will be continuing with Zelda TOTK after I've had a month break, so much to do and explore I had to give it a rest but I'm looking forward to continuing, I will also be playing Master Detective Archive and of course some Splatoon 3 for the latest splatfest, team mint it is but that's only because the misses forced this choice upon me 😑.

Reached the highest fan level in Splatoon 3 and had a good time. I was fighting for Team Strawberry Ice.

Now I will continue with Daemon X Machina. The gameplay is fun and thanks to this game I am really looking forward to the new Armored Core.

Happy gaming everyone and I wish you a great Splatfest!

I will try to finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed, some Mario Kart 8 and if i have some time maybe start Tales of Arise on PS5

I’m at 235 hours on TOTK, got all sages and 124 shrines, but largely ignored the Depths (only 29 lightroots) so that needs fully exploring before taking on Ganondorf. I should really take a break and start on my backlog, but which do I start first: Bayonetta 3, Blasphemous, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Stardew Valley or resume Advance Wars, which I completely stopped halfway through after Zelda dropped?

I played Nexomon PS4 All day long. 🤠

I have successfully beat Omnicron twice, already collected 41 Nexomite to get Legendary Nexomon radar, now my job is train my rebirth Nexomon to get even stronger and hunt the Legendaries.

Having 100%’d Xeno Future redeemed last week I will finally be 100%’ing Tears of the Kingdom (the tiring grinding to upgrade all armor, even with duplication glitches is real) to finally make out of the way that game and on to greener pastures. Will be playing Bayonetta Origins and God of War Ragnarok after that.

Scratch Ragnarok… I’m making way for Pikmin 4 next week!

Most of the weekend's plans and itches remain RPG-themed - Xenoblades, Final Fantasies and Tales galore, RF5, Fuga and Portia, Marie and Nelke, Romancing SaGa and Star Ocean, Endless Frontier and Echoes of Valentia, various CH/IF works and Resonance of Fate, plus Mass Effect and Horizon on the western side... On the other hand, that doesn't rule out other genres like Isaac, Doom, Payback/Rivals/Crew 2 and Carto, plus a dose of actventures between the crafters like Terraria and Starbound and general open-worlders like AC2, Immortals and Just Cause games. I'm also hoping to make more progress in RE2 on the laptop while PS4 has seen me pull the trigger on Sakura Wars (the platform's exclusive to this day, probably just because Sega😆) and I might even dip my toes back into Bloodborne despite having to start it from scratch for region discrepancies.

All these weeks later, and after 190 hours of gameplay, I’m still knee deep in Tears of the Kingdom. Yes, I’m dragging it out, but I just don’t want it to end. So, more Zelda for me today, that’s for sure.

As for tomorrow, me and my family will be spending the afternoon and evening with my brother and his family. It’s my 50th birthday this weekend, so we’ll be getting together for a very low-key celebration. I’ll be taking my copy of Street Fighter 6 and my DualSense controller so we can have a few in-person fights on his PS5 and I’m really looking forward to it. Hopefully it’ll be like Street Fighter II on the SNES back in the nineties. With me reaching the big FIVE-O it’s high time for a(nother) mini midlife crisis and relive some of my youth.

Also, with both our families all together in the same place at the same time, I’m sure we’ll squeeze in some four-player split-screen chaos with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, too. Gotta check out Wave 5 as it’s meant to be played, right?

While we’re there, I’m lending my brother my copy of God of War Ragnarok and borrowing Hogwarts Legacy. My youngest daughter is really looking forward to us playing it together over the summer break… if she can drag me away from playing Zelda for more than five minutes, that is!

Whatever you’re doing this weekend, have a great one my friends!

Splatoon 3 splatfest for me. Team Vanilla despite it's questionable colour choice. Also a little bit of Jojo all Star Battle R, and maybe I'll start up something new like Nobody Saves The World.

This week I will be mostly playing

Beyond Good & Evil
Tears of the Kingdom

Just picked up Fire Emblem Engage. Will be playing that and Exoprimal with friends.

I kicked this weekend off, with some Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I'll spend some gaming time with the family, playing all the new tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I also recently picked up Yooka-Laylee, for under six bucks in a sale, so I'll be diving into that this weekend as well.

I've been continuing my "Handheld Fighting Games Quest" (don't that to seriously - just an internal joke I'm having with myself ) the last few days.

I'm more or less done with Street Fighter Alpha 3 (and 1 and 2 also) - though I'm still not totally finished with Alpha 3 Max on my Vita, as it has quite a few more characters (and modes) than 3.

Right now I'm working on Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. And I've got to say that the game has been growing quite a bit on me; I've gotten a couple of new favorite fighters in T. Hawk and Vega, so I now have 5 in total.

Especially Vega I find interesting with his "slide kick" and some quite special combos (his "fence climbing" Super is not really useful though except on his "home level" Spain).

I use the short cut function in the game to map a couple of the combos to ZL and ZR; I don't really use Supers because I find them to slow to build up, so I just concentrate on getting used to using a couple of the combos instead.

After that I still have Super Street Fighter 3D Edition on 3DS, Street Fighter X Tekken on my Vita and a couple of King of Fighters games to attend to. But after that I will be done with my "Quest" and only play the very best of the games from time to time.

I finally started playing Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life. This was backlogged a bit, because I played through both versions almost 20 years ago so it wasn’t a new thing for me, plus I was just playing (and finished) Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island. But now that I’m playing SoS AWL, I’m enjoying it SO much!
I absolutely LOVE this beautifully updated version of A Wonderful Life. I was a bit nervous about it potentially being bad after so many complaints and bad reviews I’ve seen but honestly I think it’s fantastic. It’s a big improvement over the original games, and yet still retains all the aspects I love so much about it while looking and playing so much better!

Zelda Zelda Zelda, that's the only game that I know! Zelda Zelda Zelda it's the star of the show!

TBH I don't have too much time for games right now, so I'm probably just going to play some casual Pokemon Go

More Tears of the Kingdom. 170hrs in and I keep finding new stuff to do all the time. Whenever I switch it on I say to myself, "I'll do this, this and this and get that out of the way..." only to find myself getting wrapped up in something else!

Paper Mario 64

Charming game and has the brain tingling with nostalgia.

I reckon i'm in my twilight hours with TOTK now, all shrines completed, all lightroots completed, all sages acquired, maxed out my battery last night, I've made decent progress in fully upgrading my armour, my compendium is looking nice and only missing a few things now. Im saving the final fight until the very end and im getting through the grindy stuff and purposely leaving a fair amount of side quests so that I end on a high note. currently closing in on 200hrs playtime and looking to be done with everything by 250hrs
and then there's the Koroks... im saving those until the very end and will not rush at all, ill dip in and out grab a few just to enjoy being in the world after i'm done with it and then ill eventually get em all.
what a beautiful game, I spent a couple hours last night just chilling on the great sky island, removed all my weapons and put on some casual armour, just looking back at the adventure and enjoying the view...

This weekend i'll be playing "Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life" trying to get all the blessed tools, only have the blessed fishing rod at the moment.

@Picola-Wicola
Friend you are going slow!
im joking ofc, what've you been most focussed on to get that many hours and not have done the shrines yet or depths yet? i hope this doesn't sound like a criticism i'm just genuinely curious to know how other people have been playing
you been building lots or just exploring? lots of fighting? gimmie deets XD

@Zuljaras it gets a lot of hate but I really really liked playing Oceanhorn its like if a 2d Zelda and Windwaker had a baby, super fun times to be had!

I’m not playing anything this weekend because I’m in Nashville, TN with my wife. I surprised her with Blink-182 tickets for her birthday, so we are both excited to celebrate the occasion.

With that said, I’ve still been playing Final Fantasy 16. Unfortunately, I was unable to beat the game before heading out of town, but I am 92% of the way complete, with 64hrs played according to my PSN stats, and 41/50 trophies. I’m taking my time with the game and doing every side quest that comes along.

My thoughts have stayed the same - this game is absolutely incredible. It continues to get better and better as the story progresses, and the side quests - if you do them all as they present themselves - really tell a compelling story towards the end.

The amount of optional cutscenes is fantastic, especially during: Trading Places II; Rekindling the Flame II; Blacksmith Blue’s IV — the side quests that provide signboards to you for the trophy. This, along with the missives that are back at the hideaway provide world-building and character development with fulfilling payoffs.

I’m really looking forward to completing this journey even though I don’t want to end. The last few boss fights and everything leading up to it is phenomenal and I want more. And the soundtrack in its entirety, particularly near the endgame — just wow. Here’s hoping for that potential DLC!

Still making my way through FF16, doing whatever hunt and side quest I can for whatever reason. I’m getting closer to the finish line so I’m hoping to get it done and dusted by the end of the month. I swear the game goes from boring to alright to genuinely fun at the drop of a hat.

I'm playing Shining Force CD on the Sega Megadrive Mini 2 solely bought it for that game. It's been pretty good, I liked SF1 and 2 a lot and I don't mind more of the same.

I’m 120 hours in on Tears of the Kindgom - after getting the master sword I’m suddenly feeling like this magical experience is going by too fast, so I’m going to take a short break and play a lower stakes platformer from my backlog. Maybe Mario Galaxy 2 or Rayman Legends.

Happy gaming!

I’m actually be playing Humanity on the PS5 and maybe some Rift Apart, but if the wife needs the TV, then I’ll Switch over to Dredge in handheld mode.

Dredge is a really solid game.

Mainly Totk, but I got new glasses and I can appreciate my 4K TV and my PS5. I had no idea my medium distance vision had degraded so much.

I finished Master Detective Archives: Rain Code last night, so probably Ghost Trick next.

SPLATFEST time (#TeamVanilla!)
I've also put a smidge of of time into Zelda as always and hopefully a bit more over the weekend. Maybe some more Mario Kart if the new maps actually show up online 😅
And with that I'm all set 👍 Might go buy one of those Atelier games on sale. They keep popping up and they've got my curiosity so if there's one cheap enough I might go for that too.

Been busy with company over the weekend, looking to probably play some Smash Ultimate and to continue my Metroid Prime Remastered play through. Just ordered my physical copy of Ghost Trick on PlayAsia a few moments ago, looking forward to playing that soon!

I must admit, I've been struggling to find a game that holds my attention for long. It's the anticipation of Pikmin 4 I think! But there's still the Harvestella grind (100-percenting the game is no joke) and I'm resisting the urge to spend more money and pick up Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon, which is currently on sale...

@Sputnik_Corner Good question! And I didn’t see it as a criticism at all. I know it’s practically cliche now, but every time I set out to do something in this game, I get distracted by a dozen other things. I have been deliberately taking my time to be honest, because I don’t want it to finish. Having said that, I don’t know how people can get so much done in this game without putting 200+ hours into it. Maxed out my weapon stash (but not shields… I never find myself needing them as they don’t break that often). Done tons of side quests, and the grind for armour upgrades has taken me a LOT of time without dupe glitching. Lynel guts and fire/ice lizalfos tails and horns take forever to farm.

I actually got Fire Emblem Engage for my birthday earlier this week! If I have the time I'll likely be playing that!

Diablo 3 and AEW on switch. Tomb Raider on Xbox. I might start Oxenfree at some point.

It should be a low-key couple of days and I’ll probably play some Lost in Play with the kiddos as it’s a fun-looking cartoon to play through, but yikes are those puzzles getting hard! We’re putting our noggins together to solve them slowly.

Outside of that, I’ll probably swap in Y’s VIII or maybe go back to comfort food arcade games, or honor the Famicom’s 40th bday by playing some living-room floor classics.

Wishing everyone a fun weekend!

Im playing Triangle Strategy again, restarting after I forgot all the drama up to this point. Having more fun now that I understand how to properly use some of the units (and just flat out ignore others, you can't level everyone).

Also, my kids are wasting me in MK.

Megaman X2, im liking it like i thought i would. I'm having the craziest deja vu despite never playing it (I've only done X1 a million times). Busy time of year so if any other games they won't be too engaging, have a good weekend all.

@Picola-Wicola
ah I see looks like you've done a LOT more side questing and koroks than I have, cause I haven't maxed out any of my tool stashes yet, and I've got most of the side quests still to go
Yeah the armour upgrading can be a bit of a chore if you're not duping (im not either) i've been setting a session maybe once a week to item gathering, stick on a movie or a podcast and just go item hunting to get through the armour stuff, some of them are very strenuous though hahaha

Finished with TOTK this week now planning to finish games that I left unfinished for whatever reason (great games most of them) in probably this order:
1. Triangle Strategy (one more battle left)
2. Metroid Dread (Not started)
3. GOW Ragnarok (left it to start Pkmn Violet during the holidays.. horrible choice)
4. Persona 5 (left it to start GOW haha)
5. Ghost of Tsushima (never returned to it after some vacations)
6. Maybe Pokemon Violet (left it because it's so bad)

Maybe in between I will get Fire Emblem Engage, RE4 and/or 13 sentinels.
The only pending release this year for me is Armored Core which will also fit somewhere in between when released.
My biggest backlog ever

Professor Layton and the Last Specter (or Spectre's Call) on DS. I've nearly completed the game now, and all that's left is the bonus Layton's Challenges. I've got Miracle Mask sitting in my backlog and will probably play that afterward.

I may also continue Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective on Switch, a game I love so much that I'm replaying it mere days after I beat it the first time.

Looking to finish up Rain Code primarily.

95 hours on TotK, on the final quest but now is the perfect time for side quests! I’ve been playing in the Splatfest too

Taking a longer break from FFXVI as I’ll be going for 10 days vacation trip. So have jumped back into Xenoblade Chr 3 and Megaman Battle Network 5 on the switch while I’ll be travelling.

Switch:

• Binding of Isaac Rebirth (coop with my Wife. She has 310 hours in this game in her switch profile, and 700+ hours in her steam profile, and play better than me)

Game Pass Ultimate:

• Dirt 5 (I´m in love with this game)

Steam:

• Street Fighter 6 (Best Street Fighter game ever and my game of the year by far)

Can't wait until I can say something for these articles other than TOTK hahaha, ~insert titanic 84 years meme~ eventually when im done with Zelda im going on an Indie catch up cause i've picked up a lot in the steam summer sale like:

• Omno
• Tunic
• The Last Campfire
• Gylt
• I am dead
• Somerville
• and a couple others...
  and I can't wait to play them BUT,, not until i'm finished slaying that naughty demon ganondorf

I picked Kingdom Two Crowns for a couple bucks. Really lovely pixel art. I needed something on the relaxing side to combat the frustration that is competitive Overwatch.

I'll also be playing more competitive Overwatch. Still amazing how great it plays in HH on the Switch. Feels good laying waste to people on their 4k 50 inch TVs and their extra 30 fps while on a dinky little screen on the toilet.

'just finished up Samus Returns on our 2DS.

At some point in time I'm planning to pick-up Dread. Just haven't made it to the stores lately.

In the meantime . . . planning to start the special worlds in Super Mario 3D Land. And trying to finish off some Switch games we started, but haven't finished yet.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land — We are on World 7 boss.
Yoshi's Crafted World
Super Mario Odyssey
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker

@The_Pixel_King enjoy your birthday weekend

I picked up Gylt last week, so will hopefully try that out later.

Otherwise, been slowly playing through Huntdown.

My plan to complete Legend of Wukong has ended with failure. There is a game-breaking bug in Chapter Five, so I have to hope it gets patched or I won't be progressing.

Still struggling with Advance Wars 2 Hard Mode.

I’m curious about this cheat code to unlock the AX version of F-Zero. This is the first I’ve heard that AX is actually hidden on the disk. Does this require anything special? Such as running the game on Dolphin because the original hardware can’t support it? Or any modding my console? I’d love to try this if it is easy enough to access. I have the original hardware and game disk already.

I just got a physical copy of Metroid Prime Remastered, so I'll be playing that. Still deciding whether or not to order Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe as well since Amazon Mexico has it for 1000 pesos. Though if I order it, I'll let my nephew play it first.

Angry Birds Rio (Windows Phone) - Nearing the halfway point on levels beaten now.

Imperia Online (Windows Phone) - Past the halfway point with this one.

Drop what you're doing and grab Gravity Circuit. It's Mega Man except Mischief Makers.

I beat Metroid Dread the other day, so since Wave 5 came out for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I'll be playing that. Oh and... I swear I talked up Arcade Archive Pole Position and it's finally here! So, probably playing that too.

Right this weekend is a kinda simple one. Having beaten Bayonetta Origins earlier this week I’m putting a pause on my work through Nintendo 1st Party backlog and swapping over to my 3rd Party Backlog hence my choice this week of Trails To Azure. I’m on chapter 2 and am really looking to speed through this game so I can get to Reverie. Honestly I’m almost tempted to just start Reverie for a little today just to get a taste of the game I’ve been waiting for 3 years for. I already got in some participation of the Splatfest in Splatoon this weekend. Team Mint Chip so as to be able to play with friends. Might get some Mario Kart in this weekend too so as to try the new tracks out too. Over on PS5 it’s a random time consisting of playing FFXVI, buying Witch on the Holy Night and reinstalling DNF Duel and buying its first DLC character Spectre. In other areas my sweatshirt of one of my favorite VTUBERS Sinder finally came in so I’m fairly happy with that. The Limited Edition copies of Rain Code are finally out so hopefully my copy arrives soon of that. And I’m getting ready to start my Summer Anime finally with the inaugural first two of the season, Atelier Ryza and My Tiny Senpai. I did finish up all my spring anime this week with the finishing one being Gundam Witch and seeing as it took Second in my overall ranking only beaten out by the immeasurable Oshi No Ko I imagine y’all can guess my feelings on it hahahaha. Wishing everyone a awesome weekend and Happy Gaming y’all.

Picked up a cheap version of Dragon Quest Builders 2, played the demo and loved it but always had other things to play. It finally got to the top of my backlog 🤣

TotK, for possibly the last weekend.

I spent the week finding the last few shrines, which was easy using the lightroots and Satoris. I couldn't find the very last lightroot (and shrine) despite spending ages looking over the Depths map for incomplete spots. Thankfully, I found it quickly with a guide since the shrine involved a shrine quest. It was Nipahsom Lightroot for the curious.

I'll spend a bit of time finding the remaining armour and finishing a few quests before heading for the end.

Go Team Vanilla in the Splatoon 3 ice-cream Splatfest! I can eat strawberry but I don’t think I can ever get into mint chip at all. I should finish the catalog by the time the Splatfest is over. That Indigo Boss Haori paired with the Dappled Hammertreads should be a great ensemble for a Shiver Fan like me.

I'd like to be playing Rain Code, but since that's not going to be possible, I'll probably be playing Persona Q on my 2DS, and Q2 if possible, and trying to platinum my Japanese Vita copy of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. I ought to actually play it in English again, but for one thing, Vita game cases are a pain to get things out of, and some of the voice acting irks me.

Just the ice cream Splatfest for me this weekend.

Splatfest mostly. Team mint chip!

Won’t be gaming a lot as I have to work but will get some farming time in with A wonderful life. Trying to get my hybrid crop empire going. I’m starting to appreciate that animals are easier to deal with because the crop breeding is kicking my behind.

Nintendo Switch:
Vampire: The Night Warriors – completed the game playing as Felicia.
Phantom Breaker: Omnia – completed Arcade Mode playing as Mikoto Nishina.
Hypet Light Drifter – Special Edition – beated the 1st boss, The Hierophant, on Alternative Drifter "mode".
Android:
Samurai II: Vengeance – finally completed the game after all these years. Completed it on Apprentice(easy) level difficulty.
Burly Men at Sea – just started the game.
Well... That's all what I've played on this week. Have a nice gaming week, everyone.

Trying to make some progress in FFXVI, Trails in the Sky, and Ys VIII. So little time, so many games…

@Darthmoogle it's always been on your disc. All you have to do is beat all the cups on Master difficulty to unlock it, best of luck with that as it's incredibly hard to achieve.You could also get a Gameshark/Action Replay and unlock it that way.

I've got a week off, and we celebrated my brother's wedding. I've been playing Tetris Effect, and I started Skyward Sword HD, playing it with regular button controls for a change. It's not really ideal but I'm just 10h in.

Not much honestly, had other plans. Feel sort of guilty for missing the splatfest. If I get chance I might play a bit more of Octopath Traveller.

continuing my playtrought of Tear of the Kingdom, i did a detour in my gameplay and got the final sage before doing the lighting sage, now i doing the final 7 shirnes of the game, before doing the Gerudo quest.

Elden Ring.
Not enjoying it as much as Dark Souls 3
