Games Beaten

Games Bought

September was a pretty barren month over here—Look! A tumbleweed just blew past!—and the only purchase I have to report is Battlefield 1 (PS4). My wife found it in great condition at a thrift store for 80 cents and, ya know, it does have a singleplayer campaign, so maybe I'll try that one day.

Games Being Played

-The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch)

I'll be honest, ten hours in and this game has not grabbed me yet. I know it's a long haul but I'm surprised I feel so blasé about it. I've gotten all the powers but I haven't done anything interesting with them other than highly scripted segments and when I try making things out in the wide world, it usually doesn't end up working. But I recently got hired at the newspaper and just got to the wind temple, so I am hoping that things will pick up. I also haven't gotten to the underground section yet, so I am looking forward to that.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)

Still in the end game crawl.

Rayman Legends (Wii U)

I started this game because I wanted something very straightforward and goal-oriented to play and this fit the bill beautifully. I have finished several worlds. There are tons of unlockables, like extra characters and skins and creatures and even bonus levels. It's a shame I sat on this game for the better part of a decade.

Depixtion (Switch)

The puzzles have gotten quite big (24x24) and it's kind of past my ideal size but they're still fun.

Destiny 2 (PS5)

Quite apart from Destiny, my PS5 controller has started to drift in both sticks, which is maddening to say the least, especially since the controllers are so expensive. It's under a year old, so should be covered by the warranty but still, I'm sure it will be a pain in the butt getting Sony to fix it.
