Played some stuff.
Ni No Kuni II: I defeated the boss outside Pugnatious' village.
Kona: An story-based adventure game, call it a walking sim with detective work. I got to the first cabin in the snowy woods, built a fire and everything but then couldn't figure out how to get my car out of the ditch. I had a chain, but nothing to tow it with. I had gotten the rewards points already, so I stopped.
Doom Eternal: I started over and got pretty far it in. I managed all the platforming bits this time with minimal frustration. I think it's very fun.
Farm Together: Still building my farm. I play until I run out of money and then leave it. I'll return another day when the crops are ready.
Mecho Wars: Decided I'd had enough of perfect playing AI. Battles can get long and tedious after a while too. I think I just like deploying forces. I don't enjoy the strategic elements that much. It's just a numbers game anyway. Boring.
Knights of Pen & Paper: I battled a few rounds of enemies but kind of felt lost as to what the main quest was supposed to be. So I battled the maximum foes to see if I could win. I didn't. Party wipe. Fine. I'm moving on.
Wargroove: I really love the graphics in this turn-based fantasy tactical game ala Advance Wars. AI is ferocious though. I just want to deploy units. Maybe a transportation sim is more appropriate for me right now.
That's the last few days. I'm trying to simplify my game/life right now. Get to playing old physical games and selling them off. Get focused. I tend to overcomplicate things.
What have y'all been playing?
Ni No Kuni 2 is really cool. I really want to go back to that.
I played Knights of Pen and Paper back when I was playing a lot of mobile games. If you don't mind the touch screen, there are a lot of great games available that you can't play anywhere else, especially a lot of RPG's that don't require precise control. I need to get back into it.
I'm trying to finish it. I keep getting caught up in Xbox One stuff.
I can play games from Game Pass on my phone now like Slay the Spire, which also doesn't need a lot of controls.
Aside from the usuals (Animal Crossing, almost done with Paper Mario), I'm working on reviewing a lot of games. Right now I'm working on reviewing a PS4 version of Family Feud. A lot of people may laugh at those kinds of games, but I think they can be fun sometimes.
Yeah, Mark and I get into all sorts of game show games from time to time. Mark's still playing Wheel of Fortune on Xbox. I'd play more of it if I could get some real players in there.
