MR4 & so far a blast! Agree with everything said above. Difficultly hasn’t caught up to me yet as I’m still running my HR armor but expect it to eventually ramp up
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is out & the hype train is in full effect! Trying my best to pace myself by only getting through ONE urgent quest a day. That should last me a bit longer than Rise did in ‘21. At MR3 currently
Tackled & conquered Star Wars Battlefront II campaign which ended up satisfying my Star Wars itch after consuming the new Obi Wan Kanobi tv show. I’m not sure why there’s so much hate for it …?
Played some ElecHead in the car on a quick road trip and I dare say the puzzles are fantastic! Short, sweet, and will make you stop and ponder quite a bit. Also decided to start my rally world career in DIRT5 next & loving the different country representation, visuals and overall experience
Finished off and fatigued on Forza Horizon 4 and started and completed Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion this week. F A N T A S T I C little indie gem that does not get enough talk. The perfect car racing palette cleanser I needed. I still wish to finish off Forza Horizon 1 & 3 before the end of the year but need to take my talents elsewhere first
Still playing my nightly rounds of Tetris 99 & Nintendo Switch Sports. I’m having a hard time getting past B rank in Tennis but I’m hoping to overcome it this week
Looking forward to playing some Star Wars Squadrons (watching Obi Wan had me wanting more) before the big juggernaut of Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak takes over
I finished a couple games this week: the fantastic little fox adventure Tunic & the retro kick punching TMNT Shredders Revenge! The exploration and secrets in Tunic were fantastic & scratched my Zelda itch while TMNT hit me with a lol the nostalgia from my childhood. Very well done games
Still having my nightly rounds of Tetris 99 & Nintendo Switch Sports. Sitting at B rank in tennis ! Started Forza Horizon 4 as my racing game obsession lingers into the summer. Loving the Britain map much more than 5s Mexico but still miss the rivieras 2 had
Tetris 99 & Nintendo Switch Sports on the Switch side of things whilst I caved and bought a month of gamepass to catch up on a long list of games. Currently wrapping up Forza Horizon 5 and loving it! Tunic & Trek to Yoma up next
Backlog Season for me! Wrapped up the main quest line in Cyberpunk 2077 earlier in the week & Forza Horizon 2 the other night on Xbox side of things! I enjoyed Forza with its Auto HDR the XSX brings to the table. Some podcasting and hip hop in the background and it’s most likely the chillest game I’ve gotten into in a long long time. On the other hand, Cyberpunk was…. Interesting. To much dialogue and not enough action. I hear the side quests are where the game excels but I’ve moved on from that world. Gorgeous yet tedious and nothing that hasn’t been done before combat wise. Was a 5 dollar purchase due to a DOTD at Best Buy so we’ll worth the adventure & see what the fuss was about. At the end of the day I think it’s just not my type of game
All this whilst playing some nightly rounds of Tetris 99 & a few rounds of tennis/bowling in Switch Sports! I’ve got about 10 hours in Switch Sports and I’m loving the online unlockables! I see it having long legs for me
Call of Duty: Ghosts is up next for me. Trying to tidy up over 10 years of back long! Happy gaming
Into Act 3 in Cyberpunk 2077 & we also picked up Nintendo Switch Sports ! I’ve put an hour into it everyday since purchase. Some Tetris 99 always ends my night
Some Tetris 99 & trying my hand at OkunoKa Madness, a Super Meat Boy style type of game. It’s chill! Also started a play through of Cyberpunk 2077 on my XSX
Finished up with Team Sonic Racing’s adventure mode the other day and now into uncharted territory. I attempted a few games in my back long but had a hard time falling in love with any of them. So I turned on Monster Hunter Rise in prep for the massive expansion coming late June. A few event quests down with 15 or so left to conquer. That, Tetris 99 & Halo Infinite will hold me down this week
Halo Infinite S2 Lone Wolves & Tetris 99 are the nightly routine until Sunbreak comes out! I finished Kirby Star Allies & Katana ZERO this past week. Dabbled some Team Sonic Racing but I couldn’t fall in love with it as I have with MK8 or the previous Sonic kart racer
Kirby Star Allies is on my list. I don’t think I’ll 100% it, BUT, I will complete the story mode best I can. Tetris 99 & a short wait for Halo Infinite S2 is among us. I do think I’ll grab Nintendo Switch Sports once my sister & her fiancé are back from vacation.
On XSX, I ended my run at Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order at 82% achievements due to losing some progress due to the game not saving properly - hopefully I can find the courage to redo and finish collecting the chests & secrets there.
After completing my life as a Tarnished in Elden Ring I decided to finish my journey as a Jedi in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order & low and behold I got through the story!! Just getting a few extra acheevos before jumping into anything else new on my backlog. Looking forward to Halo Infinite S2 in May!
On Switch, I tried my hand at Blasphemous for a few hours to some disliking to the lore/story and back tracking to move things forward. Typical Tetris 99 nightly rounds PLUS a new ritual of Downwell! Seeing if I ever get it the bottom of that one.
Managed to start & finish SEGA AGES Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on a beach trip this week! Did a playthrough as knuckles in honor of the new movie I hope to see soon. On my second journey in Elden Ring to get a few last achievements and some Tetris 99 per usual
Typical Tetris 99 & a bit more Elden Ring! I’m right at the end BUT I need to attempt an impossible secret dungeon boss another 500 times before I finish the game & move on
Nearing the end of Elden Ring! But I don’t see my self putting it down until Sunbreak comes out in June. We also pulled out Mario Party Superstars for a quick 10 turn game last night & it still took an hour to complete ! That game needs more boards. Lastly some before bed Tetris 99 and catching my last 20 Pokémon in Legends Arceus ever so slowly
Actually one my biggest gripes with Elden Ring! I’ll lock on an enemy, sneak up on them and strong attack only for it to miss a few inches to the left or right
Back to Mario Kart of course! I can see the release of each wave being a one night event for my family. About 40 hours into Elden Ring & 22 monsters away from finishing Pokemon Legends Arceus. A little Tetris 99 & Halo Infinite as well
I had put it down for years because the open world was overwhelming me. I finally decided to finish the fight earlier this year. I clocked in at 35ish hours. I do have a desire to go back and finish some more shrines… but so. many. games
Saw the Batman last night (7/10 in my book) so couldn’t get into too much Elden Ring until tonight. A little Tetris 99 & Legends Arceus to round out the busy weekend. Might try the Kirby demo too
About five hours in on Elden Ring & where I thought I was over it I find my self ready to die again and again and again… Tetris 99 and Pokemon Legends Arceus are also somewhat in the mix
Still trying to “catch them All” in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Currently sitting at 162 & with Elden Ring around the corner I’ve got to hurry it up slightly
Waiting on my copy of Pokemon Legends Arceus to arrive Monday so taking some time to finish one last Devine Beast, get the master sword and defeat Ganon in BoTW. Also Tetris 99 as always
Catching up on some shows so laid off the hardcore gaming. Still tacking a few games in Tetris 99 and Halo with their events. Can’t wait for the new Pokémon!
Downloaded but odd it won’t let me access it til tomorrow. I had planned on tackling LoZ Breath of the Wild on my wait for the new Pokémon…. but this shall hold me over instead!
Finished most of Halo Infinite Campaign’s collectibles and have moved on to Marvel’s Avengers on Gamepass- a pleasant surprise 2 hours in! That’ll be my final game of 2021. & as always Tetris 99 Happy Holidays Everyone!!
Happy to see Monster Hunter Rise in the top 5. 250 plus hours of my 2021 that I don’t regret. BUT Metroid Dread was my favorite experience overall! Here’s to 2022
Monster Hunter Rise for 262 & 588 total hours. No shame! It’s been a great year for gaming on my end. Halo Infinite is my second most played this year already at 53 hours! Crazy. On to 2022!!
New nightly ritual of Trtris 99 and a bunch of Halo Infinite. Trying to finish the last chapter of Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light but I don’t have a weapon that can damage the final boss…

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 20th)
Super Mario SuperStars, Tetris 99, and HALO. & yes- progression needs an overhaul. Otherwise can’t get enough
