Hello Everyone!
I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.
Secondary games:
- Finished Marvel’s Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could’ve been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
- Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
- Started The Order 1886, it’s a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn’t get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
- I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.
That’s all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?

Pikmin 4 baby! I’ve been waiting a long time for this
Yeah, people have been waiting for it for a loooong time!
Just TotK. The only other game I play on Switch is Chicken Horse with friends. Unfortunately, I have a thesis to finish.
How far along are you in TotK? And how are you liking it?
I don’t pay attention to party games much so never looked into it, but Chicken Horse look like a very fun party game. Will make a note of it, if I ever need a party game.
What are you writing a thesis on? If you don’t mind sharing?
I don’t remember how many hours, but quite a few. I’ve done three temples and most of the quests you get from townsfolk before/after the temples, minus the Gerudo region (haven’t been there yet). I enjoy it a lot. I’m not a huge Nintendo person, but I quite liked BotW, and naturally TotK is a great follow-up.
Chicken Horse is awesome and very repayable with friends as you unlock more characters and places. It takes some time to unlock more stuff (kinda like Smash), but we don’t find it too boring or tedious in the process.
Broadly, my thesis is in ecology of an iguana species. Nearly done, but trying not to just play games all day, heh.
Congratulations in finishing Tears of the Kingdom! To me, the story was definitely an improvement from the first game, with more memorable and epic moments.
As for me, last week I broke down and got myself a Steam deck! I already installed several games to try out, with intention to give Ni No Kuni a real shot this time. Last time I played the game I dropped it after several hours because I found combat boring, let’s see if this time will be different.
On Nintendo Switch I am slowly getting through The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Currently I am on case 4 of the first game.
And lastly, on PS5, I am playing Forspoken. I finished main story last weekend, and right now I am just roaming the world and doing side activities.
@slimerancher we’ve been playing TotK for the same amount of hours every week 😆 I’m at 90 hours now, but haven’t advanced the story much since last week. After getting all the dragon tears and the Master Sword I’ve kept exploring the map and I went back to the depths to explore more, find some armor pieces and follow one of the story quests related to the Yiga in the depths. I still haven’t done at least two temples, the Zora and the Gerudo ones. Maybe I should get going with that…
I’ve also played the new Mario Kart 8 DLC. It made me nostalgic of playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U with friends! I need to organize a Mario Kart night soon.
Pikmin 4 should arrive a week today, so that’ll be next I guess!
Haha, that’s interesting. After finishing the game I have only done about 41% of the game. So still need to do a lot.
How are you liking the MK8 DLC? Any favourite new tracks?
I’m really liking Squeaky Clean Sprint! And the city tracks from Tour are pretty cool too.
Interesting, going to start playing it soon.
This week in TotK I cleared the first temple (Wind Temple) and have been working on mopping up everything I can in the Hebra region so I have to spend the least time there possible moving forward. It was my least favorite part of BotW and TotK didn’t really change my opinion. One related question though: guides I’ve found say you don’t need to do the geoglyphs in order, but I’ve found the one in the northern snowfield and have combed the entire thing multiple times, including where the guides say you find the tear, but the tear is nowhere to be found. I got the one just outside Rito Village, which is supposed to be second, right away, it was readily available. Are the guides wrong, are you forced to pick them up in order?
I am currently playing TotK with three temples done but haven’t gone to the Gerudo region yet. I have most of the geoglyphs done on the central/eastern part of the map and haven’t followed any order. I did do the Hebra geoglyph. It’s a big one, but the tear should be there! It’s smaller than others I feel.
Fire emblem engage
Nice! How are you liking the game? I am still playing three houses, and am on my first house. (Well technically, the game is paused, and haven’t touched it since TotK released, but will get back to it eventually).
Have you played three houses? How would you compare the two?
FE engage is great. It feels really strategic, compact maps with powerful terrain effects and chokepoints to take advantage of, units don’t have a lot of movement, positioning and formation can let you do a lot of cool plays.
The new mechanics, chain attack and break, are very powerful and interesting to play around both on player phase and enemy phase.
The Emblems have some really powerful effects between AoE dance, AoE warp, a billion range nuke, +500 movement on one of your characters, and some other combat steroids. There are a lot of options and I think the game is fun on any difficulty.
The story… uhhh, I liked when the Fire Emblem: Engaged. The plot is very generic and pretty much the same as a plurality of previous fire emblem plots. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
