Hello Everyone!

Finally got my Dual Sense back from repair! So, spent most of my time this week on PS5 instead of Switch. Though, I did start a new game on Switch. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • Cleared the Water world in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Going to play the next one now.
  • Started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy. Playing the first game, and it's so much fun. Having a blast.
  • Still playing Dragon Quest XI, not much to mention here, except didn't give it as much time this week. I should've started this on Switch, but since it's free on PS+, playing it there. Problem is, you can't just save the game anywhere, I only play it when I know I won't be distracted midway, which isn't that easy with kids, and when I do have time like that, I want to play Monster Hunter, cause that game also has the same problem. Last I played I was mid-way in dungeon, but had to zoom back to last camp so that I could save and quit. Would have to play that half-dungeon again.
  • Finally beat Pink Rathian in Monster Hunter: World, beat it solo, after dieing some 6-7 times. Finally beating a monster you've been stuck on for a while feels very rewarding, which is probably why I have spent most of my time playing MH:W after beating Pink Rathian. After grinding for better equipment, and tracking the tracks, have reached the part where you fight Nergigante. Didn't know you can't capture Elder Dragons, which got me killed, but was so close. Should be able to beat him next time.

That's all about me. What about you guys? What have you been playing?

This looks interesting. How tough are the puzzles? And how are you liking the game?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's a different concept that you have to wrap your head around for it. I've had more success solving things backwards. On some of the longer puzzles I have a spreadsheet running for the order of things, as I kept doing them in the wrong order. But most puzzles are short enough that isn't required.

The funny thing is that I was stuck on two puzzles and every time I have been stuck the reason is that I didn't think of the concept of rewinding things properly. I was stuck on trying to throw things or drop them perfectly. I've only looked up to solutions so far and really kicked myself for spoiling it. The game does a good job of teaching the techniques, you just have to be savvy enough to use them.

But if you enjoyed Portsl, you're most likely going to enjoy it. Fun puzzles, snarky robot, saving the world. Very inspired by Portal, but it does a good job of being its own thing.

Ah okay. Thanks for the feedback. Will check it out.

Have you played "The Turing Test", it's a similar game, but I felt puzzles were pretty easy. And the area was generally quite small, like the original Portal.

I have not played that one. I'll check out some trailers and add to my dekulist if it looks like something I would enjoy. Thanks for that!
