What are you playing this weekend? 2023-08-05

Hello Everyone,

I keep saying I only play one game at a time, but I keep starting multiple games. Generally, my rule is one big game, with one smaller game, to keep things fresh. Recently started playing a bit of multiplayer, so added one multiplayer game too. Going to keep it like this now.

• Still playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Playing it slowly, reached the Water world (don't remember the name), chose it over the snow one, will play that after clearing water one.
• Resumed my play-through of Dragon Quest XI, I have assembled the full party, and am about 25 or so hours in. Going to play this regularly now, as my primary game.
• Resumed Monster Hunter: World. Took a break of couple of weeks, now catching up to my friends, will most probably just play it as MP game, with some session here and there to grind / farm some specific gear or something.

Other than these, some smaller, side games:

• minit, I finished the game. It's a small, adventure game in black and white, where each run is exactly 1 minute long. Any puzzle you solve or item you obtain remain like that, but you die after 60 seconds, and respawn at your home (or one of the other specified location, if you reach them). You can finish the game in 3-4 hours. I just tried it on a whim, but really enjoyed it. If you don't mind the graphics and such games, you should definitely try it.
• barato: I was somewhat interested in Vampire Survivors coming to Switch this month, but when I posted about barato, people praised it, and I noticed the "Overwhelmingly Positive" on steam, which intrigued me. Then some more comments on the launch trailer I posted yesterday... long story short, I got the game. And it's very addicting. Though, embarrassingly I still haven't been able to complete a full run. I would be feeling very OP, and the my overconfidence would get me killed. This is going to be, "in-bed-before-sleep" game.

See, just one game at a time!

So, what have you all been playing?
