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?

More Baten Kaitos, of course. I'm still heavily invested and keep finding new interesting things.

One thing the game does, I've not seen much - if at all, is that you are not the protagonist. You input your name in the beginning and take the role of a spirit accompanying the protagonist. At times, he turns directly to the camera and asks you questions. Depending on your answers, you can influence a hidden value for each character, which basically reflect how much they like you. A higher value results in cards temporarily transforming into stronger ones mid-combo more often. Well, at least that happens for the protagonist. I've not seen it with anyone else, but I'm quite sure they have a hidden stat of their own.

I've also played some more MH:Rise. I'm still on a challenge run with my partner, randomizing weapons for each quest. And rolling a single armour for LR, HR and MR (the three quest difficulties). We're already at least halfway through MR, however we've rolled late game monster for our armour, therefore still fighting them with HR stuff. I can highly recommend the idea, if you guys are into casual challenge runs!

Lastly, I plan on playing the Super Robot Wars Y Demo.

That's an interesting challenge run. Will see if anyone is interested in it.
