Reached day 14 of Pikmin 1.

I was stuck on a particular place for couple of days cause I didn't realise you can take as many bombs as you want from the "cans". I thought you can only pick the ones that are outside.

A door needed 6 bombs but there were only 4 bombs outside, so had been trying to bring them from far away and having trouble with that. Later realised you can just throw in the Pikmin and they will go in and bring out a bomb. Still not sure if there are infinite bombs or there were just 2 extra hidden inside.

Cleared the third area but lost majority of my pikmin, so went back to first area for a day and "farmed" some pikmin, back to 100+ for all three types. Time to enter the fourth area next.


Played some more God of War: Ragnarok.

I have unlocked more skills so enjoying the combat more now. Blades of Chaos are also pretty fun to use. I didn't use them too much in the first game, and was ignoring them mostly here too, but having fun with them now.

The relationship between Kratos and Atreus has also changed. Atreus has reached the rebellious teenage phase, and apparently god teenagers aren't much different from human teenagers.

There are also many easter eggs, for instance you collect these poems throughout the game, and each poem is about a PlayStation franchise. I didn't realise that at first, thinking they are just random collectibles, but it became obvious after a few.

Looking forward to how the story progresses.


Finished Monster Hunter Wilds. Or at least saw the credits roll. The final monster Zoh Shia wasn't that difficult. The most difficult one had to be Rathalos. Rest weren't that bad.

There should still be a ton of game left, I think we have only covered a small part, but let's see.

It's also coming to Switch 2. I think Prologue Demo was just released or is about to release in a few days. Right now I am wondering if I should double dip and switch to Switch 2 version of the game. Or I can just finish it on PS and get Monster Hunter Rise on Switch, but I am not sure I would like to play two Monster Hunter games back to back.


Also played couple of hours of Arc Raiders. I have been playing it here and there with a friend, and they announced a beta PvE mode for this weekend so I went in to try that. I am not a fan of PvP and have been hoping for a pure PvE mode since the start, so very happy with this. Hope they make it a permanent addition. They also released a major update, Frozen Trail, so exploring it a bit too.

Will probably play it some more over the weekend too. Want to make use of this PvE weekend as much as I can.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I only picked up the 2nd Mario + Rabbids game lately (never played the first one) and omg it's so much fun. Combining the XCom like gameplay with smooth movement instead of grid-based makes it so much more fun to play than most other xcom likes I've played. Have to pick it up again sometime. The switch home menu makes it really easy to forget which games I own xD

Am also interested in getting back into DD2 but I've only recently purchased Shadow of the Erdtree so that'll take precedence for now.
