Hello Everyone!

I finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Took about 90 hours, and still have a lot left to do, but wanted to find out the full story, so finished the main quest. I liked the story a lot more than BotW. If you have already finished it, what did you think about the story? (without giving away any spoilers). Going to keep playing this as my primary game for a while though, while also thinking about which game to start next.

Secondary games:

  • Finished Marvel's Avengers. Nothing new to say about it. It could've been a very good game, if not for Live Service elements.
  • Almost finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. I am at stage 14, so just couple of them left. Will check the trophies after finishing the game and see if I want to platinum it. Only playing it with my kid, so going a bit slowly.
  • Started The Order 1886, it's a very small games, 4-5 hours at most, but didn't get much time to play after starting it, would try to finish it. The games holds up really well visually and gameplay vise.
  • I have committed to Monster Hunter: World now. Going to finish it, no matter how long it takes. Until now, I was only playing it with friends, but would try to do some optional stuff solo too, now that TotK is finished.

That's all for now. What about all of you? What are you playing? And what do you plan to play next? And how are you enjoying them?

Just TotK. The only other game I play on Switch is Chicken Horse with friends. Unfortunately, I have a thesis to finish.

How far along are you in TotK? And how are you liking it?

I don't pay attention to party games much so never looked into it, but Chicken Horse look like a very fun party game. Will make a note of it, if I ever need a party game.

What are you writing a thesis on? If you don't mind sharing?

I don't remember how many hours, but quite a few. I've done three temples and most of the quests you get from townsfolk before/after the temples, minus the Gerudo region (haven't been there yet). I enjoy it a lot. I'm not a huge Nintendo person, but I quite liked BotW, and naturally TotK is a great follow-up.

Chicken Horse is awesome and very repayable with friends as you unlock more characters and places. It takes some time to unlock more stuff (kinda like Smash), but we don't find it too boring or tedious in the process.

Broadly, my thesis is in ecology of an iguana species. Nearly done, but trying not to just play games all day, heh.

Gland you are enjoying TotK. TotK and BotW are some of the best modern games, no matter which console you generally play on.

You can check the hours in your profile. For first 10 days after starting the game, it shows "Stated X days ago", after that it shows you your hours in increments of 5, "80 hours or more", "85 hours or more".

Wow, personally, I am not a huge fan of iguana species, but good luck with the thesis. And yeah, gaming is great, but it shouldn't effect your normal life. So, keep working on that thesis, then you can take a break and play all the games. 😀
