Hello Everyone!

Didn't get to play much this week. And haven't really started anything new.

  • Played a few levels of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, not much though, still on the same water world.
  • Played Dragon Quest XI for couple of hours, going to continue playing that.
  • Reached High Rank in Monster Hunter: World but now I am stuck at Pink Rathian, maybe I need to improve my equipment, or maybe I should cave and fire that SOS flare.
  • Playing a bit of Brotato before sleep, if I am not tired. Finally cleared it once, now trying other characters and weapon combinations. A combination of guns has been working out great for me though. All guns, all different type, and focusing on increasing ranged attack.

That's all from me, what about you guys? What have you been playing?

I fully support playing through the backlog before buying new games, but you also shouldn't force yourself. When I finish a game, I go through the list of all the games I have (don't have much bought games in my backlog, but with PS+ and NSO classic games, have quite a big library of games that I can play without paying), and see which one I feel like playing, and then start that.

Of course, sometimes you want to play a specific game, and just get it, but in general, I try to keep my buying games at minimal.
