I had a really good time playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate this week. I biggest problem with it? Not Hades. So yeah, I’ll be playing more Hades to remind myself how damn good he is.
I also have a fair amount of train travel on the cards for this weekend, and I’ll be bringing my trusty 3DS along for the ride and continuing my Link Between Worlds playthrough. It’s still so great, even if I have to keep repeating to myself “you’re not stuck, you just forgot that Merge is a thing”.

I feel like I’m in a sort of “limbo” right now; just sitting around waiting for something big to kick off (no offense, Nintendo World Cup). Truth be told, I currently spend a lot of my free time reading and watching TV shows. Still, when I get a moment to pick up my Switch, I go back to the titles I didn’t get around to finishing the first time around. Final Fantasy X and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair are at the top of the pile, and I imagine the former will take a long time to finish. But we’ll see how I do!

I can’t stop playing Everafter Falls! It has a good addictive loop. A lot of work. And that was done by a solo dev!!!
I bought some more games after the Steam Sale, because there were smaller, after sales, and I have yet to play them. But I hear good things. It is Planet Crafter and Horticulturalif you’re interested, but I think they’re only for Steam!

What a luxurious week! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate eschews Apple Arcade exclusivity to hit the eShop, SCHiM shadow enters the game, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition makes a wizard out of us, Satryn DX is the Robotron: 2084 sequel you didn’t know you needed until Darkest Dungeon II game on the go. I’m not even sure I’ll have time to play GUNDAM BREAKER 4 Open Network Test and both PC Engine CD JRPG classics Cosmic Fantasy 1 & 2 playable for the first time in English.
I game of the week (and it will probably remain “Top Gun” for a while) is Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – Deluxe Edition. You’ve read the interview, you’ve read the review, what else can you say? Smash tires and light fires!
That’s what we have planned for the weekend, what about you? You can let us know which game you’ll be running in the following poll, then share what else you have on your cards in the comments.
