Just a few games this week, all Switch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Really am surprised that a) that I can still play a Mario game and more so b) managed to defeat the first boss. It's strange for me to say this but this is the most that I've enjoyed playing a game in quite a long time. Think the last time was probably something on the original Xbox about 8-9 years ago (outside of a brief moment on the opening of the PS4 Spider-Man game but that went after realising that nope...) It's a charming game that's for sure.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - Surprised to make it this far since LEGO games are no longer playable for me, with the older ones being too tight with the timing or a lot of them have button mashing in some form. Noticed the frame rate got bad on Reap on What You Solo where I just finished and the game has been tough at least when enemies are concerned. To misquote a famous saying "I have a bad feeling about... what's going to happen next..."
51 Worldwide Games - Now in two minds whether to keep this. On one hand really struggle with quite a lot of the games (Chess, NOT Othello, NOT Yahtzee, any of the card based ones, billiards), some that I literally can't play at all (motion control based, shogi, mah-jong), and some that are just luck (NOT Uno, NOT Mastermind, again any of the card based ones) but on the other hand, it has a good selection of stages in Mahjong Solitaire (Shanghai). Didn't help that my left hand having pins and needles playing the games.
Couldn't get very far in Ori and the Blind Forest so that went. Outside of going back to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and 51 Worldwide Games for another try, will be going through some 3D platformers, the Xenoblade series, The Caligula Effect 2, Alliance Alive HD (last RPGs), VNs and some retro collections within the near future. As for Super Mario Bros. Wonder? Will be playing more of that in my spare time except that I don't have a spare minute to wind down when you have up to 90 games to sprite rip among other things.
