Had a pretty busy week, didn't really play much.

Finished Dust: An Elysian Tale, it was somewhere around 60% at the end. The game isn't great, at least from today's standard, but it's still not a bad game.

Also, while it has metroidvania elements, you don't really need to go back for anything, other than collectibles. So, not a metroidvania, as far as I am concerned. On plus side, not much backtracking!

Started Batman: Arkham Knight, it has been on my backlog for a long time, played it for an hour or so, but couldn't get into it, so dropped it.

Biggest issue I believe is that I was in a mood for a beat 'em up-ish game, and I remembered Batman's combat from Arkham Asylum and City, but I guess I had forgotten that otherwise it's a pretty slow game. You have to hide, and slowly and methodically take down enemies, then all the detective parts with problem solving.

Another issue was the Batmobile, I couldn't get hang of it. In one of the starting mission you have to get it on some rooftop to power up something, my car fell down 4-5 times. It was so frustrating. Not to mention the Riddler challenge.

Didn't get to play Trails in the Sky: SC or Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout this week. I wasn't expecting it, but had a slight hope to finish them before Mario + Luigi Brothership release, but that doesn't seem even a remote possibility now. Which means I won't be getting Mario + Luigi on launch.

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

Finished Harvestella!

I'll stand by what I said last week - this is a very flawed game with major questionable design decisions and technical problems, but it also has a ton of good things including great story, worldbuilding and OST. Even the "farming" part also ended up being way more fun than I expected.

It's hard to recommend this game because not everyone will be able to tolerate those flaws, but there is a very shiny gem hiding behing those problems.

Playing My Girlfriend is a Mermaid!?!

I liked The Fox Awaits Me and its sequels quite a bit, so I decided to track down a copy of this older VN from the same developer.

So far it's kinda mid. :/ The main draw for me in VNs are the characters and dialogue, but the main heroine is way too shy and quiet, constantly speaking in brief sentences, and despite the MC being prone to long monologues he somehow managed to stay uninteresting so far.

But I'm still early in the game, so let's hope it improves.

I think I watched some K-drama with similar title as My Girlfriend is a Mermaid, though now that I think about it, I could be mixing different titles together.
