One day late, didn’t know where the week go.

Played some Trails in the Sky: SC. Got stuck at the boss of Chapter 2. It’s pretty tough. Though I have couple of ideas that can help, but sudden difficulty spikes like this annoy me a lot, so taking a small break from it.

Started Spider-man 2 on PS5. After playing and dropping Batman: Arkham Knight, I needed play something similar but not as slow, so got Spider-man 2. Have played a few hours and loving every minute of it. From combat to traversal to story. Great game!

Also started WWE 2K24. Haven’t played a wrestling game in a very long time, but since I got it for “free” as PS+ monthly game, gave it a try. Having tons of fun with it.

On Switch, most of the time was spent with the NSO Playtest thingy, and some Picross S4 in-between. I was stuck at one Picross puzzle (P-133) from a long time (and same puzzle in Mega-Picross), so wasn’t playing it much. Finally looked up a video online (watched a video instead of turning on assists, to figure out how to solve it, instead of just getting the solution), basically just had to do a wee bit of brute force thingy to check possible values 3-4 moves ahead to get couple of invalid positions, after that it was simple enough. Just have last page of Picross and MegaPicross remaining now, and then 4/5 extra-big Extra puzzles. So, should be finishing it soon.

That’s all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing

    I was off work sick for a few days, so I decided to catch up with Super Mario RPG on Switch. I finished it and did a bit of the aftergame stuff, and it was quite fun. The style is amazing, I really enjoyed how pretty everything looks in this remake. The easter eggs and the humour in general are really good.

    The negatives are the battles get a bit repetitive at times. And:

    Whoever designed the 3D maze seems to have a personal vendetta against gamers and hates us with a passion. It did some damage… 😆

    I also played some stuff on Steam. Titan Attacks (a modern Space Invaders with a cool style) and Syder Arcade when in a mood for pew pew games and Brütal Legend which I’ve had for years and only just now can play with a decent set up.

      Sick enough to not work, but not sick enough to enjoy games, that’s a fun time 😀

      I played a bit of Titan Attacks, and it’s a good game, but don’t care about arcade games too much these days.

      Did you get Brütal Legend from Humble Bundle? Cause I have it in my library for a long time too, and have never played it. Let me know if the game still holds up, my current system can run it well, so can give it a try.

        Yeah, the worst day was when I was too sick to even look at a screen 😅

        I did get Brütal Legend in a Humble Bundle yes. Looks like it was Humble Indie Bundle 9 in September 2013, back when they were cool!

        The game is still quite fun. Other than the humor (if you don’t like Jack Black, it might not be the game for you), the gameplay is good and has lots of different mechanics.

          Glad you are better now.

          Ah, 2013! When we were still young!

          Jack Black is generally fun. Will give it a try some day soon.
