I finished Grapple Dog and Ayo the Clown recently, so now i'm considering what to play next.

I dunno. I'd say the switch 2 falling week over week is newsworthy. Ps5 is slowly gaining weekly.

They look the same to me. That said, wait until the first sale, I bet it's the same price as the S1 version.

Made some progress in Rhythm Heaven Groove on the 5th column. Can't say its my favourite game in the series,yet, but there have been some fun levels.

Also, my son and I picked up our playthrough of Split Fiction again. Because it has to be multiplayer, finding time can be a challenge, but everytime we play it's alot of fun.

I'll probably play something else too, but not sure what.

I wonder if they're removing the origins levels from Legends. Otherwise, this becomes a very weird extra.

Really want to play more Rhythm Heaven Groove. What I've played has been fun, but the kids keep playing it.

I downloaded a bunch of demos, and so far tried Moonlight Peaks and Grim Trials. All the demos did for me was verify that I still dont like cosy farming games, or roguelikes. Though, if you're into those, I can see Moonlight Peaks being appealing. Grim Trials is just a little too glitchy in the demo.

So, my main game has been.... Agatha Christie: Death on the Nile. After playing all other Poirot games on Switch, I'm now on the last one, and so far it's very enjoyable. I like how the plots keep you engaged, and they upped the difficulty in thos one, if you want.

For those asking.... wasnt Pentiment Bethesda?

I've been really enjoying Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster on s2. I don't usually play RPGs, but this one really has me hooked. The battle system is really fun, and has you think a lot about how to deploy your team.

Also continuing Grim Fandango Remastered. I'm trying to do it without a walkthrough but may need to break sooner or later.

Lastly Rhythm Heaven Groove if my kids ever stop playing it. They've been playing a ton of Fever, so are super hyped for Groove.

Looking at these charts.. I'm wondering if publishers are realizing they need their game on S2 more than on Xbox.

I just played the original on Switch 1 earlier this year, so i dont see myself getting this as well, as changes aee minor.

That said, if yoh havent played it I highly recommend it.

@D-Star92 hey... not sure exactly what you're going through, but you'll come out the other side better and stronger. I'm going through some stuff too... there are good days and bad days. Just keep fighting.

Ok... what am I playing? Trajectile on my 3ds. It's a simple puzzler, sure, hut there are lots of stages and it's a chill game i can just play and lose track of time.

The Rogue Prince of Persia on Switch 2. I'm surprised this flew so under the radar. I'm not usually a rogue person, I hate micro progression, but this is just a lot of fun. The platforming and combat are just so fluid. and the story is just keeping me engaged. Can beat the first boss easy now, but only made it to the second boss once.

Wait... yoh never played Rhythm Heaven??? Oh it'll hold up

@Nao120 this is my biggest fear with my 3ds.

Well... this is a random week. Rogue Prince of Persia on S2. What I've played I've enjoyed but I'm not usually a rogue person so we'll see how long this sticks. Need to see if I get the mechanic.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 Remastered. Not sure how i feel on this one. It feels very of its time.

Trajectile this is just a fun puzzler.

@Gryffin Yes there is! Good ol' XGRA.

What am I playing.... Grim Fandango Remastered I picked this back up, had no idea what was going on and restarted. Enjoying it, but these old point and clicks can be challenging.

Mario Kart World Not sure why, but picked it up last night. It's quite fun.

@Tyranexx wish I could get to holiday world. It looks amazing. Unfortunately with a family of 6 it quickly becomes almost 500 Canadian which I can't justify when the six flags parks are free for me.

If Herschelnd releases an all parks pass maybe I can get to silver dollar city. Otherwise... financially prohibitive.

@Stockpot did one when I was a kid like 30 years ago, but we were more koa people.

@Tyranexx I definitely hear you on time and money. My home park is Canada's Wonderland, so it's one trip east and one west.

Whats your home park?

@Tyranexx nice. We were going to hit Great America this year, but with Six Flags selling some parks we changed to Worlds of Fun in KC while it's still part of our pass.

We got two trips planned. First will be 4 parks in 4 days: La Ronde, Six Flags Great Escape, Six Flags New England and Dorney Park ( maybe stopping at Darien Lake just to ride Ride of Steel and Predator on the way home to Toronto). Second will be Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags St. Louis and Worlds of Fun.

Great America will have to wait, but it'll still be in my region next year.

@Tyranexx which park that youve never been to? I'm hoping to cross 5 more off my list this summer.

As for what i'm playing... i'm still working towards the end of Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express. It reaches the end of the book and then... keeps going. Enjoying it, but the story is feeling stretched now.

Also got Groove Coaster Future Performers as it was $5 on the Peru eshop w a dlc pack. It's reminding me a lot of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai from the 3ds which is my favourite 3ds game.

Also want to shout out Venba which i played through on ps5. It' only a couple of hours, but the story is very emotional. Really well done. And I started We Heart Katamari before it leaves psplus.

Update: i just bought groove coaster future performers on the peruvian eshop because it was under $5 canadian. Clearly a mistake because its around $40 everywhere else. I've heard only good things about this rhythm series, so im looking forward tk it.

I finished the adventure mode in Mario Tennis Fever. It is what it is, basically a glorified tutorial. I'll come back later to some of the other stuff to keep unlocking everything.

All my focus is going to Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express. When i started playing it i found some of it silly and not that engrossing. Now that i'm about halfway in... well, some of the puzzles are still silly but i'm really enjoying how they've adapted the story.

I've got a few games on the go now.

On switch 2 I started Pragmata and it's a great time. The mix of Diana's hacking and Hugh action just feels so good. I also wasn't expecting the collectibles per level.

Also playing Mario Tennis Fever. So far most time spent in adventure, which has mostly been an extended tutorial. That said im hoping it gets more challenging as I go.

On switch I tried to get back into Grim Fandango Remastered and found i has no idea where it was so restarted it.

Lastly after beating Hercule Poirot: The London Case on PS5 I've started Agatha Christie Murder on the Orient Express. Not sure how im feeling on this so far. Its pretty easy and setting the game in 2023 I dont understand why these characters would take a train from Istanbul to London instead of just flying.

To everybody here!!!

Call of the Elder Gods. Do not overlook it. Play the demo, watch the trailer, something!!!

Also... Indy.

Just started it yesterday and am enjoying it thoroughly so far. But it is killing my battery in handheld.

Ooooh, they included the camera, as if that's still a thing.

Shootout to Mai for playing Call of the Elder Gods demo. It was a blast, highly recommend.

Finally chose what to play and picked up Blood Will Be Spilled. It's a 2d strategy game in the vein of steamworld heist and set like a spaghetti Western. Im really enjoying the animation cutscenes and gameplay. Only complaint is it's a bit easy and all battles are starting to feel samey.

Also got a lot of library holds at once with Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles, Yakuza 0: Director's Cut and the games I'm gonna play first Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 &2 Remastered and Mario Tennis Fever. So... lots to play for sure.

Not a sports gamer, but EA announcing this means 26 must have sold well enough for them on S2.

I'm not seeing anyone saying Call of the Elder Gods, which is a shame. There's a demo, try it out, it transfers to the game. It's a really good adventure game.

Constance is the only thing that looks interesting.

Quick update on the demos. Played Curse of the Elder Gods demo and it's great. I found it to be a very challenging puzzler, but well worth the effort. That said, I found the same with Call of the Sea... until I ran into a puzzle I just couldn't figure out.

What am I playing now? Well - I don't really know. This past week I finished:

Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition: I really had a good time with this. It's a very chill adventure game, do what you want to progress the story. I think the base game is better than the DLC, but DLC was still fun.

Xeodrifter: I knew this was a short game going in, but I was pretty disappointed in it. Not the length specifically, short games are fine (see next game). I just found the controls in this game too loose. The jumping was too floaty, the walking too fast. It just didn't click with me.

Bulb Boy: A short point and click adventure game. I finished in around 2 hours. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. The puzzles were pretty simple, as everything was self contained.

Vandals: I mentioned this one last week. This was a really good puzzle game where you try and sneak to avoid police and other hazards.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to play next, so in the meantime I downloaded 4 demos. Bubsy 4d This was ok. I don't find the platforming good enough, but it might click later. Kingdom's Return:Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster So far this is pretty generic and meh. Also have Call of the Elder Gods and Marvel's Cosmic Invasion. Hopefully once these are done, I'll know what to play next.

Finished The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening last weekend, so it opened up for a couple other games.

First off was Lil Gator Game: Gator of the Year Edition. I finished the base game I one day, it was just so much simple fun. If you want a low stress game I highly recommend it. Moving on to the dlc now.

I also went back to a game called Vandals. It's basically a stealth turn based game with 3 objectives per level: remain undetected, get the bonus star, and solve in as few turns as possible. I had played once years ago, and liked it, but put it down. Now giving it another shot it's really scratching that puzzle itch.

Can I get my 3 minutes back, please?

Last weekend finished Root Film. Anybody who likes visual novels with lots of reading, less gameplay, should really enjoy this.

Also played the Fatal Frame 2 demo and really enjoyed it. Wanna get to the game soon hopefully

So now I'm working my way through The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch and am at the 6th dungeon. Really enjoying it, though finding it harder than I think it really is.

Also continuing Piczle Lines 2. Don't know why I originally had an issue with this, but it's grown on me a lot. The puzzles are great and rewarding.

Finally still progressing on Split Fiction. Great bonding experience with my son, and it's a lot of fun. Playing on local gameshare with no issues.

Gotta figure out what to single player after Zelda.

I hope to finish up Root Film this weekend. I'm on the last part of the game, chapter 4 of 5. Another hour or two, and the story will wrap up. It's extremely engrossing at this point.

Then a couple of games I'm playing via Gameshare with my kids, me on S2, them on the S OLED. First Split Fiction and then just started Reanimal. The ambiance is great, but I'm having trouble seeing cause of the darkness.

4% of NHL 26 being sold on Switch when it wasn't released there is impressive.

Got a few games on the go.

Put in some major time with Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the Switch. This game is so gorgeous. I think I'm about halfway through, and every now and then I get stuck for about 10 minutes. But I love the map size. It's not too big, not too small.

Also made serious inroads in Root Film. On to the final story beat here, but it seems to still be a few hours worth. Looking forward to wrapping that up.

Moving on to Split Fiction which I'm playing with my son. Continues to be fun. We're using local gameshare, him on S2, me on S OLED. Have no issues with it.

And finally some Piczle Lines 2 for some less intense puzzle sessions.

@FXFletch It got fixed. Check the cmpatability website and it says it wwas updated last week and is good to go. And no, NLife didn't report it, nor did anybody else. I tried to message them but no go.

Last weekend I finished Observer. Had a lot of fun with what was essentially a puzzle/walking sim. Nice atmosphere. Biggest downside is multiple endings where there is no chapter select. Sorry - I'm not playing a whole game again. Youtube it is.

Continuing my read of Root Film. As far as visual novels go, this is very straightforward. There is some choice in where to go and who to talk to, but there is only one route. That said, the story and characters are really carrying this, and I'm genuinely laughing at some points.

Started Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake on Switch 2, and it is gorgeous. I'm only on the second dungeon, I keep seeming to not know exactly where to go, but do eventually figure it out.

Also restarted for a third time, with a third kid Split Fiction. I've made it farther this time, though, and I'm hoping to see it through. I'm about two hours in.

Finally, on PS5, I'm working through Hercule Poirot: The London Case. It's basically a visual novel, without the reading. But the case is fun, and the little puzzle elements make for some nice interactivity.

@Raccoonius 11/22/63 is unbelievably good. It's a bit imposing because of its size, but such a fast read.

Not revisiting the review in some way, even if it's just an editor's note at the bottom indicating the patch makes everything else said irrelevant, is wrong. People aren't going to read a review, and then check for other news on the game.

Hoping to finish Observer tomorrow. It's been a good time, but some of the loads are killer. Also still playing Piczle Lines 2 and it really is the perfect simple puzzle to pass the time game.

Root Film continues along when i want to just read. And after observer onto Legend of zelda link's awakening on switch.

And i somehow forgot im playing Split fiction with my son even though j was actively playing it 10 minutes ago.

To all those commenting on the font size....

Quick fix is to turn on zoom function in the system menu. It lets you zoom in on the screen by double clicking the home button. You can then either have the game paused as you read what is tiny font, or keep the game active so you can click on different menu options.

Not saying developers shouldn't do better, they should, but there is a solution available.

Earlier this week finished Neversong and would recommend for those looking for a quick platformer with a dark story.

So, what am I playing? Started Observer which I'd gotten a while ago, but decided to finally try. And it's actually really engrossing. Also went back to Piczle Lines 2. I originally got this after finishing the first couple games, and bounced off it, didn't know why. Then I realized I just found the beginning too easy, and now I'm back into it.

Also continuing the read of Root Film.

Played the Denshattack demo and don't know how I feel. Closest game I can think of is OlliOlli. I think I could get really into it.

Picked up physically day one. am good.

Having just positions and percentages really makes this tough to read, especially since Generations Pack is separated. That makes the 4% on S2 very misleading. But how big is the gap between 1 and 3. That's the question nobody (here) has the answer to.

Does Eternal Life of Goldman qualify? Probably not, but I really want a release date for that one.

Well.. I can't seem to catch a break to actually use the Switch 2, as my son is absolutely loving RE: Requiem, so I'm going to finish up Neversong which is a creepy little platformer. Some say metroidvania, but it's not. I finished Mable and the Wood last weekend, but there are multiple endings, none of which on Youtube, so I'm debating.

Also playing Root Film which is a real solid VN. And on PS5 (because library didn't have the Switch version) I'm playing Hercule Poirot: The London Case. Really enjoying these games overall.

I'm going to pick up my physical RE: Generations pack in about an hr.

Fallout 4 probably later in a sale.

Very good week for gaming.

The New 3DS is amazing. It just feels... perfect.

This trailer looks 10X better than it did in the partner direct. Very interested.
