Hello Everyone!

It's time for this week's, "What are you playing" thread.

I wasn't able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don't have to moderate anything.

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.

What about all of you? What are you playing?

I started playing an indie game called In Other Waters, played for a hour and I dig the vibe so far.

Just checked the trailer and the game looks interesting. Also has pretty good rating. Going to add it to my wishlist. Thanks!

I still have one regional main-quest left, and I am afraid there won't be much story left after that, so not going for that, instead just doing exploration and side-quests. I am liking the story a lot though. Have you gotten all the Tears? I have more than half of them, would try to collect them all before completing the last regional quest.

Good luck with going for 100% of Kirby!

Regarding In Outer Waters, just get ready to read a lot when playing. The game was built around narrative first, gameplay second, although the gameplay compliments the narrative really well.

Yes, I did get all the Tears in the game. I got so invested in the story that I kind of rushed it just to see what happened next. It was worth it, final Tear cutscene was really unexpected, at least for me. But if you feel like doing more exploration and side-questing, don't rush it, enjoy the game at your own pace and make your own adventure out of it. :)

I like narrative games, will keep that in mind. Thanks.

Yeah, the story is really interesting this time around. I didn't expect to be this invested in the story after BOTW, but I can't wait to find out more.
