Last weekend before Switch 2 release! How many of you have pre-ordered? Hope you all get it on launch day or as soon after it as possible!

Started Chatper 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition but got stuck, I was at recommended level, but you can't use Skells during the fight, and it's kinda tough one. I also went with characters with low class levels, so grinding a bit to level up.

Finished The Surge!

The game took a bit getting into, but once I did, it was a really enjoyable game. The games isn't too difficult, and while I died more than a dozen (more than a couple dozen) but they all felt my faults, like I knew what to do, just wasn't skilled enough to do that. If there was an easy mode, I would've switched to that and just finished the game, but as it is, took 3 days to finally beat it.

Started Marvel's Midnight Suns. I am only at the beginning and have done just the first mission after creating the character, so not much to say, but it feels really good for now. As a turn based tactics game, it would've been perfect on the Switch.

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

I’m looking forward to my last week with this year’s students (and then two days of classroom cleaning/board games) before picking up a Switch 2. No pre-order, just vibes as my friend and I camp out this Wednesday.

I haven’t touched chapter 12 of Xenoblade Chronicles X yet. School has been very busy, but I’m also tying up loose ends as I near the story’s end. I have been ignoring Lobster related missions since I feel like that mission is what made me quit the Wii U version.

I’ve been building up my armory in Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent. It’s as useful as filling out your mail order catalog I. Animal Crossing, but it is still a fulfilling time waster.

I played the board game Machi Koro 2 with both of my children. It was fun. I’m trying to help the younger one focus on learning new games since we’re going to a board game convention this summer. I’ve gotta build up his stamina!

Good luck with getting Switch 2!

Don't know which one's are Lobster related missions since I am pretty far away, but will keep an eye for them.

We played Dixit, our first game with 6 people, and while it does slow down the game a bit, cause half of the people were kids who kept changing their votes, it was pretty fun. It's one of those game that becomes more fun with more people.
