September 17!

It's finally coming out!

There's SwitchUp's coverage of the game, if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psxnnM0FaB4

Getting strong Goemon / Mystical Ninja vibes from this one, looks really fun.

Square Enix opened pre-orders on its online e-store for a Dragon Quest slime plush that doubles as a cleaner for smartphone, tablets, and PC screens. The slime cleaner plush costs 1,188 yen (or about $8) and is expected to release in Japan on October 19, 2024.

Still playing Borderlands 3 as my main PS game. Nothing to add there.

Finished Hades! Killed the 3rd region's boss, where I wast stuck, soon after the last weekly post and reached the final boss. Died first time, didn't even reach the boss in next try, but beat the game in try after that.

You need to beat the game multiple times to get the credits roll, and there is post-game content to get final / true ending. There is not much new in the gameplay though, except turning on different difficulty modifiers to make the game more difficult. So, after beating the game a few times, I had enough, and just watched the rest of the narrative online.

As far as I am concerned, I have finished the game.

Played a bit of Oceanhorn - Monster of Uncharted Seas, but for some reason couldn't get into it. It's a zelda-like, and I don't really have any complaints, just not in the mood, maybe. Though one thing I missed from Zelda was the music when you solve some puzzle. There is no such thing in the game. I would be in a locked room, and then push the block in correct place, and while it would show me the door has opened, I wouldn't get any music indication that I have achieved something. Never realised I would miss that.

Since I couldn't get into Oceanhorn, I started ATOM RPG. It's like Fallout 1/2, isometric view, post-nuclear world but situated in Soviet Union. I didn't have high expectations from the game, specially since Fallout 2 is one of my all time favourite game, but I fell in love almost from the start. My only complaint is loading screens take a bit of time on Switch, but they are only annoying when you are traveling and get a random encounter, no issues in towns or dungeons once they are loaded. Have already spent quite a few hours, and am fully enjoying it.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?
