Topic: What Game(s) are You Currently Playing?

Metroid Prime Hunters (Wii U VC) - I thought I'd try this one just for the novelty. It's the only Metroid title outside of Federation Force and the Metroid Prime Pinball spinoff that I haven't played. I think it was a fairly decent game for its time, but it hasn't exactly aged well. Samus controls like a tank even when I switched to the button mode, and enemies are really hard to hit due to this....Yet they have no issues hitting Samus.

Supposedly this is worth it for the multiplayer, but this is unfortunately very limited on Wii U VC titles.

Spyro the Dragon from Spyro Reignited Trilogy PS4 (2019 version).
I have accumulated 20% gameplay.

I caved in and bought xenoblade 3 I was sick of people saying it was the best RPG (mother 3 is the best one) so I will see about that.

I've been playing Splatoon 3. I played a little bit of Splatoon 2 when it came out, but it didn't really pull me in. This one, on the other hand, has me hooked. There's so much to do and it's pretty visually stunning. I really enjoy walking around the square and looking at people's drawings. I think Salmon Run is my favorite thing to do right now, I just wish the rounds lasted a little bit longer.

I wish they were shorter! (When glow flies show up you will KNOW)

@WaffleBoat I haven't run into that yet, I'm just a few hours into the game. I'm sure there's chaos to come XD

Tried out Overwatch 2 last night. It's fun and it's Overwatch but feels more like DLC to the first game rather then an actual sequel. I mean. It even used the same intro video. I will say it did add one thing that I enjoy in my FPS Games, progression which mean since Modern Warfare II dropped the ball this year Overwatch 2 will probably be my go to FPS for a few years.

Reached a mini boss today in the last level of turtles 1. The game is getting easier a little bit. I think I should be able to beat it.

Now I am playing Dark Souls 3!
I am heading to the Catacombs of Carthus after beating the Abyss Watchers!

Why are those games so damn good?!

Return to Monkey Island! Finally made it to "Act 2".... got stuck on a few bits, but thankfully none of the puzzle have been too obtuse (so far anyway!).

My goal is to complete it without using the 'hint book' which resides within your inventory. So far so good, now pushing on with Act 2.

A really enjoyable point-and-click romp, although perhaps not quite as sophisticated or impressive as Thimbleweed Park

Currently playing Judgment on PC and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon on DS.
i've been interested of Playing Judgment for awhile now. and i was happy to hear that the game got a PC release, I'll admit, it definitely did not disappoint so far. this definitely has convince me to pick up the sequel Lost Judgement and Like a Dragon games in general.

i just started on Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and I've quite enjoy the gameplay and the story so far. (i also picked up Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, but i haven't started it just yet.)

Castlevania lords of shadows: mirror of fate for 3ds. And still splatoon 3

@Zuljaras — hey you’re comment number 666! Nice!

I'm still going through Xenoblade 3. Chapter 5 and 70 hours at the moment. Somehow managed to avoid spoilers. After this game I'll probably start LiveALive and then take a bit of a break of RPGS (even though I have like 3 more RPGs ready to play) and finishing some indies in my backlog.

Xenoblade 3 surprised me, at the start it felt somehow less eventful than Xenoblade 1 and even 2 but at chapter 5 I'm 100% invested in the setting and characters.

Ben 10 Omniverse PS3

Mostly Rocket League this weekend. I got back to diamond rank 3v3 solo queueing, and it's been fun.

Crimson Shroud - Definitely an interesting game that was part of the Level-5 Guild releases earlier in the 3DS's life cycle. It plays a lot like a single player tabletop RPG where some outcomes, mostly related to battle, are decided by rolling dice. There is little true animation since a lot of the action is presented via dioramas, static minifigs representing the characters, and text.

Definitely a unique way to play a RPG. I'm not sure how I feel about the game yet; it has some great ideas, but I don't think they always pay off well in execution. The lore is interesting, and the characters increase in strength through gear and not by leveling up.

Just started Pokemon Snap for the very first time!

I've only played for half an hour but I'm already having a great time so far. I've somehow managed to avoid spoilers for a lot of what happens despite the game being older than me and it's been wonderful seeing some of the surprises they pull (those screaming Magnemite caught me incredibly off guard the first time through the tunnel. Also the fact that Haunter only appears in the photos at the end is utterly brilliant). I've only done the Beach and Tunnel as of now but I can't wait to keep going again at some point!

Also, given the nature of the game, here's my favourite photos that I've taken so far:



(love this one)

And my personal favourite:

(@Kermit1 also wanted me to let them know when I was playing through Snap so here you go!)

@Fizza I'll start playing once I get my Switch situation figured out (Don't worry it will be soon)

Among a few other games, I am currently playing Stray on PC. I am a huge fan of cats. I have two of my own and I just absolutely love them. So naturally, I knew I was going to like this game. I'm about 2 hours in, and while I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or anything, it's still a really fun game. It's super atmospheric, with beautiful graphics and amazing music. I'm not a huge fan of the platforming, though. I understand why they went the way we did to curb annoyances that players may have had, but to me, it just feels a bit restrictive. I've also run into a few performance issues. Mostly, entering new areas will make the FPS spike like crazy for like 5 seconds. It's pretty annoying but isn't super game-breaking.

Overall I'm enjoying my time with the game and look forward to playing more. It's a super impressive debut title for the developers, and I'm interested to see what they'll work on next.
