What games have you been playing recently?

[DJ Coco]

Was kinda annoyed by Metroid Prime 4 so I decided to give other games from my backlog a shot.
Played a lot of Neon White recently, and I'm addicted. It's only January and this is already a strong contender for my most liked game this year.

Replayed Ghost Trick, great s***. Playing UFO 50 now, it's charming. Very authentic.

I've been bouncing around a lot lately. I've played through some indie games I got on Nintendo's new year's sale, which so far are Inside and Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk, with Gris and The Messenger up next on my list. I've also been continuing my quest to finish DK Bananza and Final Fantasy V (the disc of the later is scratched, so I get some amusing data corruption errors from time to time).

Played some more custom campaigns for TrackMania². Still the peak of the franchise to me. I'm not vibing that much with the new one.

Moar Mario & Luigi: Brothership and ARK: Survival Ascended with family and friends. I also recently got the platinum trophy in LEGO Worlds (which took WEEKS because I had to grind for 1,000,000,000 studs... without stud multipliers... yeah, it took a long while...), and the remainin' achievements in The Henry Stickmin Collection and Yeah! You Want "Those Games," Right? So Here You Go! Now, Let's See You Clear Them! (yes, that's the game's actual title LOL).

On top of that, I also played a bit of LEGO DC Super-Villains recently. I've only played it for about an hour, but I've been enjoyin' the game so far! I love how ya can make a character at the start of the game. I made mine Walter White. LULZ

Played all of the GBA F-Zeros lately. Kinda glanced over them but they are decent fun. Also played art of rally for the first time.

I keep growing my Nintendo Switch collection and plan to start doing Nintendo Switch 2 as well soon...
However, with all these games available to play. After a long day of work I always play Skyrim on PC and spend time messing with the Mods available.

I bought four games on Steam: Eversion, VVVVVV, Baba is You and Blocks That Matter. I've played Eversion and VVVVVV, and now I'm currently playing Baba is You.

I just prefer buying and playing indie games than AAA games, I focus more on gameplay and music rather than graphics.

I've started playing Star Fox Command. I never tried it when it came out, but the Mario Galaxy movie has me in a Star Fox mood.

I also keep going back to Breath of the Wild and GTA V.

Just 100%ed Mario & Luigi: Brothership today (all the minigames beat, collectables collected, challenges completed, ETC.; I even went and bought one of each item, 'cause why not? LMAO)!! Overall, I really enjoyed it! I personally give it a 7.8/10. Definitely recommend checkin' it out if you're into the Mario & Luigi games.

Another game I beat this month is LEGO DC Super-Villains. I really enjoyed it! It was a lot better than what I thought it was goin' to be! Now to see 'bout 100%in' it someday...

On top of Mario & Luigi: Brothership and LEGO DC Super-Villains, I've also been doin' a playthrough of Doom + Doom II on Steam. I beat the first game and I'm currently playin' the second one. I have to admit, Doom and Doom II are a LOT harder than I thought it was. ._.

Other games I've played recently include Rec Room (wanted to play the game at least one more time before the game shuts down next month), Super Animal Royale, and more ARK: Survival Ascended and War Thunder with others.

So, now that I've fully beaten Mario & Luigi: Brothership, now what?
*Glances at my copy of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team I bought fairly recently*
Someday...

Finally finished part one of the FFVII remake. While it didn't fully capture the magic of the original, I really enjoyed its expanded world building. The highlight for me was Yuffie's side story, the ending was really sad.

[Savayone]

I've played through the classic Call of Duty titles and all of Crysis 1 during the past few months after a long period where I didn't play video games.
Been thinking of tackling a JRPG or adventure game of sorts. 

[littlelum]

I 've been playing through Fire Emblem, as known as FE7, or its Japanese name, the Blazing Blade. I just started Eliwood's section. The only FE title I've played before was Awakening, and already I'm seeing a lot more diverse gameplay elements. The overall strategy is basically the same, though.

[DJ Coco]

Played Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

I'm kinda conflicted on what I should think about it. On one hand, I appreciate the innovation; it's definitely a very unique game. And I think the concept works for the most part. When the game is good, it's really good.

However, I also feel like the first half of the game doesn't really utilize its ideas to the fullest. The second half (after the credits roll for the first time) it feels more fleshed out to me. The gimmicks are cooler, the levels are bigger.

Overall I'd probably give it a 7.5/10

Been playing Rhythm Heaven and it's dope. Music's good, minigames are good, not much news to report there. Glad Tsunku was able to return.

Also been playing some more Deltarune and I feel heavily conflicted about chapter 5. I think I wanna write some thoughts down about it, cause I really really don't like most of it. It's such a weird contrast to the chapters before it.

@littlelum I'm glad you've been trying FE7! This is one of my all-time favorite FE games, and it's a great introduction to the series.

@DJ Coco The new Yoshi game looks kind of cool. I finally got to play Woolly World last year and really enjoyed it, and I'll want to try this if I ever get a Switch 2 to play this on!

@Vert Deltarune is one of those "maybe I'll play this someday" games for me.

Course clear! You got a card.

I started playin' Princess Peach: Showtime! recently. So far, I think it's alright. I can tell it's aimed for a more younger audience, but despite that, the depth the game has has actually surprised me.

A few other games I've played recently are a little bit of Cheese Rolling, Muck, and Farming Simulator 25 with family and friends. I know that some of ya might think, "BoRiNg." But, hey! I enjoy playin' 'em with family and friends (and, at least with Farming Simulator 25, I really only play it with family and friends).

I've also played Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (couldn't get the PC version on Steam to work, so I had to get the PS4 version to play it. At least it functions. The game is ok. But, eh, it could've been worse), LEGO DC Super-Villains, and Garry's Mod.

Oh, and I also tried the demo for Rhythm Heaven Groove recently as well! I'm usually not into rhythm or music games, but Rhythm Heaven is like my only exception to that (literally, the ONLY exception), but this one... I actually enjoyed! I'll definitely be buyin' the full game at some point (heck, it's $40, that's a pretty fair price for a smaller Nintendo game)! : )

i beat mega man 2 again via the legacy collection yesterday

only took about an hour and a half, plus tons of rewinds. Whose idea was it to make late game bosses only take damage from one weapon and one weapon only, man?

I was playing the original Mega Man on this a week or two ago, got to the last level and didn't have all my power-ups so I gotta replay it.   But I will.

Mega Man, for how popular it is, is extremely difficult without the "reverse" function on the Legacy Collection. Do you guys agree? Are the sequels the same level difficulty?
