Finished Pikmin 1.
I took a day more than a guide and had to replay couple of days (including the last one) multiple times.
Overall, I love Pikmin and the idea of the game, but I didn’t enjoy the actual game too much, mainly because time limits in games always give me a bit of anxiety, and I had to follow a guide and keep worrying about making sure I am not taking too much time, instead of just enjoying the game.
I think I would try to play Pikmin 2 without guide, and if I fail, I fail. Will try to keep an eye on the limit, but just play as I can. Of course it’s possible I change my mind when I actually start it, but I think playing that way will be more enjoyable.
Played more God of War: Ragnarok.
Can’t say much without spoiling the game, but with Zelda coming out at the end of next week, will try to finish it over the weekend.
Started Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?.
It’s a side-scrolling platformer in the world of Disgaea. Played it a little bit but I am not sure about it yet, will need to play some more to make up my mind.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I took a chance on Orbitals from the public library and have had a blast with my oldest as my co-pilot. My wife is also interest in watching it, too. I can see how this is perfect for net play; split screen is acceptable but limiting. My biggest complaint is the camera controls. Older gamers like me need flight simulator y-axis options.
I almost convinced myself to give up my crusade against game-key cards with Persona 3 Reload hitting a new physical low. Luckily (?), all the in-person store I went to didn’t have it in stock.
Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent just released a new character that is the beginning of a new power level of characters (according to those watching the slightly more advanced Japanese releases). I managed to Gatcha pull her and threw her level 1 self into a level 100+ team with no downsides. Next smattering of out of control characters is slated for December and includes a FFX crossover including Jecht, Tidus, and Rikku.
In tabletop news, I found a physical copy of Can’t Stop (1980). It’s such easy fun! I also read through all of Twilight Sword, a Zelda/hope spreading RPG. I can’t wait to set up a play session for that one!
Completed the main story for Overcooked 1 and 2. We sped through it, surprisingly, with 3 stars on almost all levels. Not sure if we’re gonna do the DLC, or:
spoiler
try getting 4 stars on Overcooked 2.
Also been playing Enter The Gungeon on and off since January and I hate how bad I am at it haha.
My experience with MIO got me thinking if I could still enjoy harder platforming games, so I ended up doing a replay of Celeste to test this.
And yeah - that game still rocks. 1500+ deaths to finish the main story and at no point I got frustrated like I did with MIO. There’s a very important line between “hard” and “punishing” and Celeste is really well designed to never cross into the latter.

The time limit is quite generous so a guide isn’t really needed. Also it’s part if the game because of the shortcuts you can open up in the levels. I hope you do play Pikmin 2 :D
Yeah, I finished with 8 days left. Just don’t enjoy these time limits 😀
I hated the time limits, too! But I was much more relaxed the longer I played. Pikmin 2 has untimed sections that really lower the blood pressure.
