About to clear the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza

Went back to the first world to 100% complete the collectibles, and now doing 100% completion on all worlds before moving forward.

Smashing things hasn’t gotten old yet!

Only last mission of Marvel’s Midnight Suns left. Plan to finish it tonight / tomorrow night. Will write more about it next week when I finish it.

Didn’t get much time for AI: The Somnium Files, as I had a very busy week, but should be getting back to it this week too.

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

    Will wait for your complete review of Stella of the End, sounds like a good first VN.

    Now that you have finished both Captain Toad and Atelier Plachta, what are you starting next?

      Will wait for your complete review of Stella of the End, sounds like a good first VN.

      The only caveat is that this is a “kinetic novel” (no branches/choices). I generally recommend more interactive VNs for first-timers, but if you don’t mind the concept it’s definitely a good story to read.

      Now that you have finished both Captain Toad and Atelier Plachta, what are you starting next?

      Plan is to focus on Stella of the End this weekend, then go for another VN/side-game pair… but haven’t decided yet which ones.

      For VN I’m leaning towards one of Atri, Witch on the Holy Night or Silver Case 2425, while for side-game I’m leaning towards either Gal Guardians or Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus.

        Yeah, I like to read, and it sounds like an interesting concept. Also no branches means no need to replay 😀

        Both Gal Guardian and Bo are on my wishlist. I am more interested in Bo than Gal Guardians though, so will vote for that. On the other hand, if I had to pick for myself, I mostly play from older to new, I would go for Gal Guardians first.

        As for VN, unless I am confusing it with some other, I have heard you mention Witch on the Holy Night before a few times, so I would say it’s about time you play that, but going by the pictures my recommendation will be Silver Case 2425.

        I hope that was enough to confuse you a little bit more.

          Most (sadly not all) VNs do a good job minimizing repetition when replaying for alternative routes/endings. Fast-skipping text already read, highlighting choices you already took, or even having a flowchart so you can skip to branching points.

          my recommendation will be Silver Case 2425.

          Silver Case 2425 looks really interesting! It’s a pair of old VNs from Suda 51.

          But I think I’ll go for Atri first, mainly because it’s the shortest of the three.

            This just reminded me that I played Hatoful Boyfriend on Vita, did all the routes and was able to skip dialogues that were same. So, that’s interesting.

            All my efforts went to waste. 😀

            Didn’t know Suda51 wrote VNs, would love to give them a try.
