This week was mostly just Donkey Kong Bananza

Couldn’t play as much as I wanted to, but have reached the 3rd world, and am about half-way through that too. I am going slowly by collect 100% stuff in each world, though mainly focusing on Bananas.

Still, most of the time is spent just moving around smashing through stuff.

For the times when my Switch 2 is hijacked by the little ones, I have started AI: The Somnium Files , it’s a detective VN / adventure game. It was on my wishlist for a while, and with 3rd one releasing recently decided to finally give it a try.

Investigation works somewhat like in Phoenix Wright, you go to a place, and ‘investigate’ things / talk to people by clicking on them with the cursor. No moving around or anything. The tone is much darker, but there are some comical dialogues or descriptions. There are also some sequences where you have to move around and interact with some stuff, they are different from the normal investigation parts, but are still part of solving the mystery.

I am only on 3rd day or so, enjoying the game so far.

Certain things are alluding to certain truths already, but I wonder if it’s a red herring or they are giving away stuff already.

Didn’t play Marvel’s Midnight Suns last week because of Bananza, but will be getting back to it on this weekend. Hope to clear Part 2 of the story soon.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    lol at “Phynal”.

    That’s a bid sad to hear. Have heard great things about it so had high expectations from it.

    Hadn’t you finished Baten Kaitos?

      Could be just me and the game is definitely worth experiencing. I haven’t checked yet if other people thought so too. However, personally speaking, I thought the second half of ‘Star Ocean The Divine Force’ was executed way better. It does have a similar structure and the same split between two different viewpoints, one native to the planet and one from a futuristic civilization.

      Nope, I haven’t played it yet. However, I did mention it several times as a potential next game - I just never commited to the 120h+ journey, assuming I play both back to back.

        I haven’t checked yet if other people thought so too.

        Yeah, once I plan to play the game, I try to avoid any other further info about it, so haven’t actually read (or watched) any review in detail, just have seen/heard the mentions in passing, so I can’t say if people thought it was a good game with certain issues, or just a good game.

        Wow, good luck on your 120h+ journey!
