Started Splatoon Raiders. The game has weird gyro controls where it only work for up-down, not left-right. I tried it for a bit but ended up turning that off and playing normally. Enjoying the game so far, there isn’t much of a story though. You just select the level, go in, beat enemies and come back. You keep unlocking more and more stuff though, which gives you a sense of progression.

I don’t think this is a game I can play as primary though, it’s something to play for a little while every now and then. Maybe play a few missions before I switch to some other story based game. Kinda similar to EDF in that sense. I’ll need to play it more to see if it keeps my interest or not.

Played some Red Dead Redemption 2. Reached chapter 3. For some reason I am not liking this game much. I used to love GTA and other games in the genre like Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs and so on, but now that I think about it, I didn’t like GTA 5 to that degree either, so maybe this genre isn’t for me anymore.

My main issues are that the game feels slow, and can’t get myself to care about any characters. So, all that riding towards or during the mission when characters are talking to each other about their life story, I don’t care about any of that.

If it were any other game I’ll probably have dropped it by now, but I want to finish this so let’s see how long I can hold on, who knows maybe I’ll end up liking it.

Since Splatoon Raiders only released yesterday and I wasn’t enjoying RDR2 enough to just keep playing that exclusively, I went back to playing Monster Hunter Stories. Defeated some monsters, got some new monsties, finished some quests and so on.

Have some subquests left in the area but have cleared the main missions, so going to the next area while taking care of the side missions.

Also played a bit of Star Ocean: First Departure R. Not much to add here.

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

    I’ve always had a weird relationship with the “Open World” genre, most of the genre bores me to tears, but the few games I like? They go straight into my “10/10 all-time favorites” list (all Xenoblade games, RDR1, Bully, AC2).

    I loved all of these. Xenoblade games are some of my favourite games, and I loved RDR1 and AC2 (and AC3, and liked Syndicate, not much AC4 though. Haven’t played the rest). Didn’t play Bully much, got a disc from someone but it was scratched so only played first hour or so. Which is why I am wondering if it’s just my taste changing, it has been over a decade since I played RDR1.

    What are your overall thoughts on Majogami? Or is that for next week when you have fully finished it?

      Honest review: “It’s OK”. 😆

      Bosses are good, stages could use more variety. Overall there’s nothing really bad in the package, but also nothing that makes me say “this is awesome”.
