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?

Absolutely. I watched a playthrough of 2 because it was too rare to find around 3’s announcement, so I thought I’d never get to play it.

Then, because I don’t engage too closely, I missed NEARLY EVERY connection to the previous games unless they hit me over the head with it. I sure love a breakdown video after I’m done playing!

Alright, I'll keep that in mind for when I'll eventually buy 3. But def. not this year. Backlog's growing and there's still good stuff on the horizon xD
