Hello Everyone!

Another week without me playing too much.

  • Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
  • Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there's one puzzle near the end that I couldn't figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can't figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn't get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
  • Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.

Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.

What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?

I would compare it more with X-Com than Fire Emblem. Technically, they are very similar, but in my mind, they are very different games.

As for the sequel, I haven't played it myself yet, but have heard great things about it. I loved the first one, and from what I have seen second one improves on it a lot.

Ah I never played XCOM. But from what I’ve seen they do look really similar.

If you like Mario+Rabbids, and don't mind playing umm... a "rugged" version of it, without Mario characters, and some base-building mechanics included, check out XCom 2. They also a released a Marvel: Midnight Suns, which I think is more approachable than XCom 2, though I haven't played that yet.
