Had a pretty busy week, didn’t really play much.
Finished Dust: An Elysian Tale, it was somewhere around 60% at the end. The game isn’t great, at least from today’s standard, but it’s still not a bad game.
Also, while it has metroidvania elements, you don’t really need to go back for anything, other than collectibles. So, not a metroidvania, as far as I am concerned. On plus side, not much backtracking!
Started Batman: Arkham Knight, it has been on my backlog for a long time, played it for an hour or so, but couldn’t get into it, so dropped it.
Biggest issue I believe is that I was in a mood for a beat 'em up-ish game, and I remembered Batman’s combat from Arkham Asylum and City, but I guess I had forgotten that otherwise it’s a pretty slow game. You have to hide, and slowly and methodically take down enemies, then all the detective parts with problem solving.
Another issue was the Batmobile, I couldn’t get hang of it. In one of the starting mission you have to get it on some rooftop to power up something, my car fell down 4-5 times. It was so frustrating. Not to mention the Riddler challenge.
Didn’t get to play Trails in the Sky: SC or Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout this week. I wasn’t expecting it, but had a slight hope to finish them before Mario + Luigi Brothership release, but that doesn’t seem even a remote possibility now. Which means I won’t be getting Mario + Luigi on launch.
That’s all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing
I finished Inscryption last week, and have already posted a few times in various threads about how great it was.
I highly recommend it, and it’s free on Gamepass, if you’re a subscriber there.
But now I need a new suggestion. I was thinking about doing some rounds of the endless mode because I didn’t get to check that out yet, but I’d rather jump into something new. I like to progress quickly, because I don’t have time to grind, and I love wacky surprises like Inscryption had, IYKYK.
I’ll keep checking this to see what everyone else is up to!
Good luck, have fun, everyone!
EDIT: Just realized this was the Nintendo group, so sorry about the Gamepass mention. I’m on Xbox and Switch, so I follow both.
In our weekly thread, we don’t care about the platform. It’s for talking about anything and everything we are playing.
I didn’t mention them in my post this week, but I have previously mentioned that I was playing Dust: An Elysian Tale on PS5 and that I got it as PS+ monthly game, also playing Tales in the Sky: SC on PC.
