I got all achievements in Sonic Racing Crossworlds last night. I’m a bit burnt out grinding for tickets, so I’m going to take a long break from the game until patches and updates are finished before I go back to it.

Other than that, I’ll be playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on my phone, Xenoblade DE on Switch, and maybe doing some achievement huntin’ in Sonic Generations on PC. I’d also like to take advantage of the Steam Spring sale and check out Marvel: Cosmic Invasion

@PipeGuy64Bit It feels like SEGA is trying to appeal to western / online zoomers with this game instead of actual gamers and SEGA fans. Between Red, the Nickelodeon crossovers, and the IDW characters. Plus, everyone’s gonna recognize Miku from general internet culture, and Yakuza and Persona are their biggest money makers.

I’m gonna be real, Arle’s the only character I give a care about with this update.

Not only do we have a Yakuza character in Crossworlds already, but Majima’s going to be in the new Shinobi game as part of the Sega Villains DLC. And I bet Red’s only in the game because of corporate reasons, like SEGA’s telling us “Oh yeah, you guys DO know we own Rovio now, right?”

It’s nice they’re giving us these characters for free, but aside from AiAi, Arle, and Nights, the SEGA reps feel very safe. They put in the IDW characters but not Beat, Amigo, Billy Hatcher, Ulala, or Alex Kidd? And Streets of Rage and Shinobi have gotten new games in the past 5-6 years, put in Joe Musashi or Blaze Fielding to promote SoR4 and Art of Vengeance.

My university’s on spring break all this week, so I would like to take this as an opportunity to start a new game, preferably an RPG. I would like to start either Trails in the Sky 1 (original) or Tales of Vesparia DE. I’m also still grinding Donpa Tickets in Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I still need to get all horns.

My granny wasn’t feeling well last week, so we postponed our Christmas party for this weekend. After the party, I’ll be able to play.

I’ve been recently playing Dark Souls: Remastered. It’s fun exploring new areas and fighting (or in most cases running away from) enemies. I just got to the Undead Church yesterday. I would like to make more progress in Sea of Stars this weekend as well.

Aside from gaming, I made a Backloggd account at the start of this calendar year! When the sales finish up Monday, I really want to pause buying new games and play what I have. It’s a fun way to revisit my library and play games I never touched yet.

Continuing Sonic Frontiers. Cleared out all maps on every island and am currently working on the Action Chain Challenges so I can get the spin dash. We’re having family over for a Christmas party tomorrow, but I’ll be able to do some shopping later this week. I’d like to grab some games this week while the Steam sale’s going on, particularly DOA 5 Last Round.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds finally went on sale on Steam, so I tried out the game last night with some Grand Prixs and Time Trials. For playing on the lowest speed for the former, I really enjoyed what I played so far! The real meat of the game for me will probably be online, though, so I can’t quite make a decision on whether or not the game is worth its full 70 usd price tag.

Aside from that, I’ll be doing some achievement hunting in River City Girls.

Continuing my Sea of Stars playthrough on Switch. I forgot how fun the combat in this game was! Seraii just joined my team, and I defeated Romaya.

On Steam, I just snagged the ultimate edition of KOF 15, Half Genie Hero, River City Girls 2 (with the Double Dragon DLC), and Absolum. I’ll be playing those as well.
