My schedule is a bit messed up, so don't have much game time. Just played a bit on weekend.

Started God of War: Ragnarok. With the next game coming out in January, it's the perfect time to catch up to the series.

I have only played a few hours, but having fun with it. Combat feels a bit less exciting than the first one, probably cause it's just more of the same. The novelty and feel of summoning back the axe, which I absolutely loved in the first game, has worn off. It's still fun, just not as fun. The story is interesting though, and looking forward to how things go.

Played couple more "days" of Pikmin 1. I have cleared the first two areas completely now, and just have two items remaining in the third area. Should be done in a day. Haven't visited the fourth area yet, will go there after getting both these items.

All other games are paused at the moment.

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

Sudokuvania 2: Lineage of Logic - Finally finished after a solid two weeks of sleepless nights chipping away at this. Game of the Year 2026.

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising - I'm reminded of why proximity normals are one of my least favorite fighting game mechanics. Hard to confirm off 5M when I don't know which 5M I'm getting and oops there's no far 5MM.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 3 - Translation patch is finally out! I've literally been waiting two decades for this one, I own a physical copy that I picked up as a souvenir from a trip to Japan back when I was in high school. Ripped my old save off the cartridge to NG+ off of.

Keroro RPG: Kishi to Musha to Densetsu no Kaizoku - The handful of JP GBA games I own physical copies of are a bit above my reading level, I struggle with the pixel kanji fonts, and I'm too attached to them to be able to play them without being able to 100% comprehend them - I want to revisit them eventually, but I'm looking for some easier alternatives closer to my level right now. So sampling a bunch of DS ROMs, this turned out to be the perfect study material. Full furigana, and I'm more okay with skipping over parts that go over my head, as long as I can get a rough idea of what's happening and where to go. I've never seen Keroro so I'm really just playing this for the fact that it's a Tales game rather than for the story.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City - mahjong causes great damage to the human spirit without a single benefit

I gave up on these large sudokus. I don't like guessing and then backtracking on contradiction, and it seems you have to do that often, specially when you get those boss fights with completely empty boxes. I prefer the style of puzzles where you can solve it 100% by logic, without any guessing involved.

Have you tried Marvel Tokon? What's your opinion on that?

Sorry about your Mahjong loss, good luck for your next match, hope you make a come back!
