Finished Star Fox! Completed all the planets, including all the alternate routes (except one in Sector X, where you have to kill the boss in certain time). Didn't get any medals though, came very close to getting them couple of times, so will try for them a few times more, but don't care about them too much.

I like how there are dialogue changes (even if minor) depending on if all characters are with you or if any character is missing due to damaged Arwing. Also, didn't realise how much game you are missing out on if you just play one route.

Loved the game, finally understanding why people care so much about the series. Hoping for a new entry in the series now!

As I mentioned last week, Earth Defense Force 5 was nearing the end, so spent most of the weekend to finish the game, but turned out there was more left than I expected, so spent half the week playing it too. It had total of 110 levels, and couple of them were very long. Also had to switch to those annoying hold-to-charge, release-to-shoot weapons to beat last 2 levels, so ended up getting used to them, it turns out they aren't all that bad.

Finished the game now!

Started Star Ocean: First Departure R. After finishing Voice of Cards last week, wasn't playing anything on Switch, so started Star Ocean.

This is my first Star Ocean game and I am surprised to see how good it is. The combat system felt a bit weird in the start (it's real time but there is no dodge or block) and took getting used to, but I think I have gotten the hang of it. The world building is also interesting, gives some of that Star Trek feel. After the initial exposition doesn't look like there would be any major twist in the story, seems to be pretty straight forward, but will have to just wait and see.

No Red Dead Redemption 2 this week. I am not going to start another PS game now and focus on this from here on.

Same with Monster Hunter Stories, it was on back burner due to Star Fox, but even though I have finished that now, Splatoon Raiders is releasing soon so I probably won't be getting back to this any time soon.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I'm most of the way through Cat Mail Co, it's a nice time waster. I'm also trying to get into Medieval Dynasty. We've got a tiny group of 4 people so far, there's a lumberjack who collects like 1 log a day, a dude who allegedly gets buckets of water from the well, and a hunter I've literally never seen do anything. It's uh... fun.

I might start another run of Elden Ring. It's been about a year and a half since I last played, so a nice slow-paced game with a new weapon type might be a bit of fun. I didn't like the expansion at all, but for the most part the main game is pretty chill.

I tried Medieval Dynasty with a friend, our first survival game and it was such a chore with just two people. It could've been fun 3 or 4, some more people helping with stuff.

Elden Ring ... is pretty chill.

Uhh... I think we have different meaning of chill.
