Hello Everyone!
Time for another update on our gaming progress!
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there’s still a lot to find.
I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn’t went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven’t played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.
In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.
Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.
That’s all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I’m still immersed in the world of TotK, squeezing in gaming sessions whenever I find a spare moment. Surprisingly, despite investing a considerable amount of time, I’m “only” 40 hours into the game.
Haha, I had an opposite experience. I thought I am not playing it at all, might be 20-30 hours at most, then checked and was at 50 hours. The game feels immersive so don’t even realize how much time I have put into it.
More TotK for me, with a high level of avoiding the main questline.
a high level of avoiding the main questline
65 hours in and I’m the same 😆
Unsighted! I saw it on the hidden gems section of the e-shop yesterday.
I’m waiting until my wife beats BotW before diving into TotK
Just checked out Unsighted, looks pretty good, went to add it to my wishlist and it was already there 😀 I don’t even remember when I added it. How are you enjoying it?
If you are playing BOTW too, I would suggest not jumping in TotK right away, it can cause burn out, but if you weren’t playing that should be fine.
ToTK, spending a lot of time not doing the main quests.
Finishing up FFVII Remake Intermission before I start FFXVI as the other game I’m juggling in the not-much free time I have had lately.
TotK is just as fun doing the main quest, as it’s not doing the main quest. Though right now I am really excited about the story and want to know more.
Good luck with FF7R-I, are you looking forward to playing the the second part coming next year?
Definitely looking forward to the next FF7R installment :)
Since I finished TotK last week (got 100 hours out of the game), I decided to take a break from it for a while and instead focus on my switch backlog.
I’m about to finish a game called In Other Waters. What I initially thought would be just a chill exploration game became a really immersive narrative experience with turn of events which really caught me off guard. I’m definitely interested in more games from the developer, I heard great things about their subsequent game Citizen Sleeper.
Other than that, I started playing Blaster Master Zero 2. I played the first one last year and really enjoyed my time with it, and the sequel so far seems to be as good as the first one.
Outside of Nintendo ecosystem, I’ll also probably boot up PS5 for a few hours and try to get more trophies out of Unravel 2.
Congratulations on finishing the game!
You already got me interested in “In Other Waters”, now you are getting me even more excited. Going to move it up on my to-play list.
How are you playing Unravel 2? Single player or co-op?
I’ve taken a step back from gaming this week. It was a busy one.
Still, I’m making pretty good progress on totk. Great game.
I got a 4070 for my birthday. So I tore my whole PC apart to dust out every nook and cranny. It replaced an R9 290. Other specs: 24 GB DDR3, i7-4790K running on Z97, 1 TB NVMe SSD and 8 TB HDD (I don’t mind a loading screen)
I previously had 4 3,000 RPM server fans keeping it cool because I was running dual R9 290s in the thing air cooled. When you have two 94° cards, there’s a ton of hot air coming from the thing. It’ll heat a room quite effectively.
I’m down to a single 140mm 700 RPM fan in back and a single 120mm 800-2000 RPM fan in front. It’s gone from being as loud as my vacuum cleaner to near silent. And in testing, my GPU never hits 70°. My 290 ran 85-90 playing Wind Waker with Hypatia’s HD texture pack. My 4070 doesn’t even get to 50° after an hour of play. And my intake fan doesn’t even have to ramp up. It’s so nice having a quiet PC again.
It’s gonna be pushing 100°F outside this weekend so I’ll be staying inside and hiding from the weather. Maybe I’ll mow on Monday morning since it’s supposed to be a lot cooler. Need to replace my busted garbage disposal. But when I’m not doing those things, I’ll probably STILL be playing Tears. I think I’m up to 70 hours.
Wow, I didn’t understood most of what you said, except, you got a better GPU and what was quite a load for previous one, is nothing for this one. And your PC is quieter because of that.
That sounds great. Congratulations on your new gear. Are you planning to play something to test the limits? Something that will make it scream too?
Good luck hiding from the weather and playing more TotK!
Deaths Door for me! Almost halfway through. Finished Tunic a few weeks ago and this has been a good follow-up to that
Great couple of games. Both are on my list, would like to play them soon.
How did you like them both?
Really good. I could barely put tunic down at some points.
Prepare to die a lot in both.
I am keeping up with TotK. Well over 100 hours but I may spend some time in Pokémon Scarlet chasing Gimmighoul and Chesnaught.
How far along are you in TotK?
And good luck with Gimmighoul and Chesnaught!
After 100 hours I’ve completed 2 of the 4 temples and gathered all the memories. Besides that I’ve just been completing shrines and doing some side quests.
Also thanks, I really want a shiny Gimmighoul.
Wow, 100 hours and just 2 temples, you are doing some real exploration.
Most of the time I end up getting lost in the world chasing a shrine or some landmark
Haha, that’s the real fun of the game.
I think I’ve decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn’t get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it’ll be nice to focus on that for a bit.
I am VERY excited for the DLC. It was very tough to decide between that or TotK. I really love Xenoblade series, and XC3 is my favourite, and now to get a DLC bringing together all the games…
I am not going to get it before finishing TotK though. I would be distracted between both games. So, going to finish TotK and then get the DLC.
I am concentrating on tackling my backlog! This week I’m prioritizing Varriable Barricade, Amnesia memories and maybe a few routes from The crimson flower
A wide range of games!
It’s nice to keep the backlog short, just don’t force yourself to play anything, that burns you out.
Ended up getting sick and playing nothing :( but definitely not planning on burning out will take my time and enjoy the games :)
Good luck, and get well soon!
Thanks!
I plan to continue playing original Metroid prime and start to play Super Mario Galaxy again.
Hopefully a full weekend of Baldurs Gate 3.
Have fun!
BTW You have posted on a very old thread though. Our weekly thread is pinned on the main page of community. This one is more than a month old.
About to finish 13 sentinels & got spiritfarer and both portals in queue.
Spiritfarer and Portal 1 & 2 are all great games. Have fun!
How are you liking 13 Sentinels? It’s on my wish list.
If you’re into the (primarily sci-fi) story, it’s really good. Bit confusing gameplay-wise in the beginning, but clears up quickly and them becomes confusing story-wise, which actually is kinda the point. I liked it a lot, even the battles which seem to be the part most complained about. I would however suggest picking it up on sale and not paying full price as it’s not exactly replayable.
Ah okay. Thanks for the info.
I keep playing TotK and I’m also 65 hours in. I’m taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven’t even been to the south west part of Hyrule!
I’ll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.
I’m supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!
I just went to South west part one day before. Was holding on the final regional quest before that and doing some side quests. What made me go there instead of doing some more exploration was the Tears. Need to know more of the story!
MK11 is fun. I am not a big MK player, but playing both 10 and 11 as they were available on PS+. I am looking forward to MK1, looks exciting. What do you think about it?
Doom is great, have fun with your physical copy!
I thought the boss of the seventh Palace would be the final boss of the base game in Persona 5 before getting to the extra content. I was wrong. It took me until last night to actually get to the real final boss of the base game (and I luckily beat it on the first try… The mini-boss gauntlet before it was harder than the boss itself, lol). So only now did I actually start the extra semester in Royal. That said, I ordered Tears of the Kingdom this morning and I’ll probably get to that sometime this week or next, finally. Excited to start playing it after seeing so much about how it actually lives up to its hype.
Congratulations on beating the main game! Now you have until you recieve the copy of TotK to finish the Royal content!
What did you decide about P5 Tactica? Going to give it a try, or skip it?
Persona 5 turned out to be MUCH longer than I expected, and I expected it to be long. My wife kept laughing at me announcing ‘I am going to finish it soon, it’s almost the end’ and then the end didn’t happen. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed it all, great game!
