Right now, I'm playing both Axiom Verge and Rogue Legacy 2 on my PC. Axiom Verge is an absolutely fantastic experience, and definitely one of the best metroidvanias I've played. The world design is super interesting and the exploration is fantastic. Rogue Legacy 2 is great as well. It's super fun and addicting since most runs only take about 15-20 minutes. It's very challenging but doesn't feel unfair.

Super Mario Sunshine - 67 shines and 178 blue coins in.
Octopath Traveler - I think I'm nearly through everyone's Chapter 1 but it's paused for SMS at the moment.

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy - Still leisurely trucking along and solving every puzzle under my nose. I often aim to solve all the puzzles in story mode. I just started chapter 4 and begun the "egg hunt"; maybe I should've started this one closer to Easter? Level-5 definitely stepped up the animations in this game, made all the better with how the 3D effect renders them. San Grio is proving quite the interesting island paradise. It's crazy that the place is literally full of the Azran eggs! (Erm, poponyos)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country - It's hard to say a lot about this one plot-wise without spoiling anything in the first XC2, but it's cool to see how the world of Alrest looked 500 years ago. I'm still getting the hang of the combat changes from XC2. As usual, the music sets a high bar!
Mario Golf: Super Rush (Switch) - Completed the story mode awhile ago (really not a big fan of how much Speed Golf it had, though it was cute enough), and am now working my way through playing rounds of Standard Golf on all the courses. The "Pro" variant of New Donk City is a doozy.
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal (Steam) - Closing in on the end of the Hanzo Academy story. It's a solid, if unremarkable, take on Warriors style action, though I will say the story is surprisingly stronger than I'd have thought.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Decided to start my 2nd playthrough of trials of mana(2020). I beat it back at launch, but im doing a new group of 3 that I didn't use originally. Its nice that this game has replay value. Kevin is my main, with reisz and Angela as my companions.
Going back to Xenoblade 2, the first post-game blade I get is Ursula. And I heard from people about what a disaster that is to do from post-game, but a simple look both in-game and in a guide of what to do and it seemed not too much time wasting would be needed. And I could do another blade quest in the meanwhile, among some of the DLC sidequests (which clearly are meant for when you're done with much of post-game but let's ignore that). And then I find out just how many times I REALLY need to send Ursula on the same missions, repeatedly. But I do have Boreas, unlocking his affinity chart seems simple and now...I have to talk to 50 Nopon. I'm half expecting to find out there are exactly 50 nopon NPCs in the game, when I walk through one of the main towns (in day, because I'm pretty sure there'll be new people at night!), and find 4. And talking to 50 NPCs to get generic NPC dialogue I've already heard is sure...a good...video game...thing.
God bless you Xenoblade 2! You could convince me you DID live up to previous games after all with your incredible graphics, music, combat and general world design, especially since the ending was better than the average quality of the story. But nope, you have to stay bad in just the right ways at the right time to stay exactly on the line of "great but just barely". Truly the most 80/100 game I've ever played.
I imagine the designers being like "this could be an all time classic game...but nope, that's what they would be expecting."
@kkslider5552000 Quick tip you don't need to search the whole map just to talk to 50 nopon, you could just talk to the same ones in a single town and just rinse and repeat with just fast travelling.
This also applies to the girl talk affinity nodes and other talking ones in general.

Oh, I talked to one of them twice to verify that, I did not consider or check that fast travel would change anything. Thanks.
I'm currently playing Genshin again after a break, really enjoying it The best thing about taking a break is there's now so much new content for me to catch up with! I think Genshin will keep me going now until Mon Hun Rise comes out, can't wait 🙌
Started up Balloon Fight there a few days ago on NSO and have been loving it. It's extremely simple, but the floatiness and strategy needed in order to successfully pop enemy balloons is incredibly satisfying, even for a NES game. I've gotten past World (?) 3 and really want to try and beat it.
