Finished Marvel’s Midnight Suns !
Didn’t max all relationships or levels of characters, but did enough of them. The game was really good, and you get to spend lots of times outside of combat exploring the Abby and socialising with other characters.
There is some of that weird vibe from characters, if you are used to MCU versions, but you get used to it soon enough. All characters are pretty well portrayed, and voice acting is also pretty good.
Combat is pretty satisfying. I was skeptical of it at first as I am not a fan of these deck-building games, but it works out pretty well. As you are a super hero, there is no hiding behind the cover. There are some buffs and debuffs, but you have to be careful about using it too. Since every turn enemy reinforcement join the fight. Most of these are usually “minions” which mean they are one hit kill, but since you are limited to 3 cards / actions per turn, you have to play pretty aggressively. And there were a few levels where the enemy combination make this very annoying. Thankfully, those are very few.
Overall, loved the game. May come back to it to try the “dark” path in a few years.
Cleared the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza on to 6th one now. About halfway done with this too.
Too many thorns here though.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
I’ve started pre-planning for another year of teaching seventh grade. Most of my gaming this week has been at school, playing both Cabo and Flip 7 in the afternoons after work is done for the day.
I got my regular couple of weekend hours of Octopath Traveller in this morning. Tomorrow will be my 1000th daily check-in on the game, and the game’s narrator announced that they will on’t send any daily letters after that, so I’m a little bummed. It’s been a rewarding, play at my own pace game for nearly three years! I can’t wait for Octopath Traveler 0 (although I’m still mad about it being on a game-key card)!
Wow, 1000 days. Congratulations! I play mobile games sometimes, but I don’t have this consistency.
Game-key Cards are great when they replace code-in-the-box, but otherwise they are a downgrade in every situation. Hope there is enough of a backlash that they revert it, but I highly doubt it.
Main reason my Switch 2 purchase is “on hold” - there’s no point when most games I want are getting Switch 1 releases and I’d rather get those as they are “real” physical games.
