About to clear the 5th world / level of Donkey Kong Bananza

Went back to the first world to 100% complete the collectibles, and now doing 100% completion on all worlds before moving forward.

Smashing things hasn't gotten old yet!

Only last mission of Marvel's Midnight Suns left. Plan to finish it tonight / tomorrow night. Will write more about it next week when I finish it.

Didn't get much time for AI: The Somnium Files, as I had a very busy week, but should be getting back to it this week too.

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

Still working on my backlog. Judging by yesterdays Direct, I'm still in no rush for a Switch 2.

So, I've finally starten Baten Kaitos!

I didn't play much yet as I've been quite sick this week, but so far it seems fun. The battle system is kind of Slay the Spire, with an added timer after your first played card and bonus damage for Poker combos. Once again, think Slay the Spire cards, but each also has a random number from 1-12 assigned, so you can get Pairs, Straights, etc. Each card can have any number. All of that in a GC game!

There are many other unique things. For example, monster don't drop money. You have to play a camera card in your deck, draw it and spend a turn making a picture. These are pretty much the only items worth selling. You can only keep a certain amount of pictures/drops after each battle, so you can't sit out rounds and amass pictures of bosses.

Stay tuned to read me rambling about these games for the next few months. The collection has both and they are about 60h each.

Hopefully we will have a proper Direct sometimes soon too, but not expecting anything new for this year.

Heh, that sounds like a weird system for loot. Looking forward to reading you progress through both games.
