Played some more Donkey Kong Bananza, trying to collect everything in the 6th world before moving on to 7th.


I mentioned a few weeks back that I was playing Ghost of Tsushima, but then put it on back burner since I was focusing on Midnight Suns, so since that has been finished, back to being a Ghost now!

When I was around halfway through the game, I realised that there is too much side stuff and that's burning me out, so ignored everything, and just finished the story.

End Story SpoilersThe game had some really emotional moments. I didn't feel too sad about Taka, I saw it coming a mile away, but then they killed my horse! Why would they do that?

And then the ending!? After all they went through, to end up like that...

After finishing the game, didn't felt like starting another game right away, and there wasn't too much remaining for the Platinum (you don't need to 100% all collectibles), so going through the other stuff and Platinum the game.


Started Diablo IV with some friends, as it was given away as PS+ monthly game recently. If they all got bored with it (they aren't isometric / action-RPG fans), may start focusing as my next single player game, but not going to focus on it much for now, only playing it as a co-op game.

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

Full game releases on Aug/28.

This the the first game in a long time getting an official release in the west, and this demo is a good chance to try it. It's one of my all-time favorite franchises, I've beaten dozens of games from it. :)

This is delightfully wholesome.

Finished Marvel's Midnight Suns !

Didn't max all relationships or levels of characters, but did enough of them. The game was really good, and you get to spend lots of times outside of combat exploring the Abby and socialising with other characters.

There is some of that weird vibe from characters, if you are used to MCU versions, but you get used to it soon enough. All characters are pretty well portrayed, and voice acting is also pretty good.

Combat is pretty satisfying. I was skeptical of it at first as I am not a fan of these deck-building games, but it works out pretty well. As you are a super hero, there is no hiding behind the cover. There are some buffs and debuffs, but you have to be careful about using it too. Since every turn enemy reinforcement join the fight. Most of these are usually "minions" which mean they are one hit kill, but since you are limited to 3 cards / actions per turn, you have to play pretty aggressively. And there were a few levels where the enemy combination make this very annoying. Thankfully, those are very few.

Overall, loved the game. May come back to it to try the "dark" path in a few years.


Cleared the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza on to 6th one now. About halfway done with this too.

Too many thorns here though.


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