There's no change in my games this week.

Still playing Greedfall. I am starting to like the game more now. There were some surprises in narrative, which I wasn't expecting, and your choices can effect outcomes of different things, which I also wasn't expecting.

Had to stop playing at an interesting place, so excited to play over the weekend to find how the story progresses.

Earthlock is still my primary Switch game. Nothing to add here. It's a nice, modern JRPG. Still playing it, still enjoying it.

I was right about Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter last week. I was in the final dungeon of first chapter. Finished that, and just started the second chapter. Fortunately it didn't expire my remaining side-quest, so finished them all before going to next region for chapter two. Playing it slowly, cause I want to finish Earthlock before Zelda release, so this is going to take a few months to finish.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Finished The Messenger!

My summary of this game is "amazing side scroller in the first half, mediocre metroidvania in the second half". Which is kinda surprising because I absolutely love metroidvanias and was looking forward to see how that part of the game was going to be, but I felt it lacked most of the things that make that genre fun.


Finished The Messenger - Picnic Panic!

Also decided to clear the DLC before moving on, which was fun but quite short. But I can't complain since it was free.


Playing Hatsumira: From the Future Undying!

Chapter 2 introduces the mermaid tribe and the next heroine Meltyna, and in Chapter 3 we meet the dwarves, the undead tribe (!) and the final heroine Reah. This is followed by a very short Chapter 4, after which the game forces us into Yukikaze's route.

He route deals with final battle against the Evil Empire™ and it was a fun and action packed route, but there's one thing that really bothered me: There's zero appearances of the other heroines. At least you get to see Aliah's side of the final battle when you play her route, wonder if the same will happen on the other two.

Currently around halfway into Meltyna's route with 86% total progress and expecting to finish this one over the weekend.

You have also played Sea of Star, right? Is there any thing in the game that give you the idea that it's the same universe as The Messenger?

Only played a couple hours, but don't remember anying that looks like a connection between the two.

Ah, well, it's a prequel by 100s of years, IIRC, so may just have some easter eggs somewhere.
