Games Beaten

-SteamWorld Dig (Vita)

Steamworld Dig has a wonderful game loop. You go dig up some stuff, sell it to upgrade your town, buy new stuff for your character, and head back out. It's quite satisfying. The backtracking to town can be a little annoying sometimes, depending where you are, but that's not a big gripe. The upgrades are fun and the game is not too long (could be a little longer, really). I do wish there were some more boss battles but it's a very enjoyable game, all told. A real gem to...dig into 

Game Bought

In February I bought a copy of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (Switch), which has a very long title. I'm sure they were just trying to illustrate the nature of the quest. My copy of Return of the Obra Dinn (Switch) arrived from Limited Run. Looking forward to playing that eventually. It's about a merchant ship presumed lost at sea that suddenly appears at port with everyone aboard dead. As the insurance adjustor, you must figure out what happened. My wife gave into her western open world RPG cravings again and downloaded Skyrim (PS4). It happened to be heavily on sale at the time, which was a nice coincidence. Otherwise it was just the PS+ games for PS4: Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie.

Games Being Played

Between the busyness of life and playing that Taito collection for BaD, playing games in general kind of by the wayside in February. The games I play regularly with others—Destiny 2 and Dragon's Crown Pro—were still played but Octopath Traveler and Sakura Wars suffered from my decreased time. I'd really like to plough through Sakura Wars in particular this month (Octopath continues to be a loooong term project). We'll see if I'm able to make that happen.
