What are you playing this weekend? 2023-10-02

Hey,

So, I forgot to post the new thread this week. Life is just keeping me pretty busy these days.

I did start Paper Mario though. The one in NSO. And have been thinking about resuming my Fire Emblem: Three Houses play through, but haven't done anything with it yet.

So, what about you all. What have you all been playing?

  • I've been obsessed with gloomhaven since it was released on the switch. Sure it has a lot of UI issues and absolutely devours my switch's battery life but it really scratches a heavy strategy itch in my brain. It is a very difficult game but with every failed "run" you keep all the gold and experience you gained so even failing a scenario helps progress you towards leveling up and being able to buy new items to help you in future endeavors. Every win I have eked out has felt really hard won and rewarding because of that.

    • I have been getting interested in actual board-game Gloomhaven, but have to convince a few people to try it, before I actually buy it.

      If you have played the board game, how is it compared to that? And are you playing solo or with friends?

        I’ve never played the board game because a) it’s pretty pricey and b) I don’t have a consistent group to play it with. I also do love digital adaptations of epic board games because it makes managing turns, cards, health etc way easier. That being said, this port of Gloomhaven is clearly very taxing on the aged hardware of the switch. I’m sure the PC version of the digital adaption runs better/faster/prettier etc. I’ve been playing by myself and despite all my complaints about the switch version, still thoroughly enjoying it.

        • Yeah, it is pretty pricey, otherwise I would have just bought it and then seen if anyone wants to play or not.

          I also don't have a consistent group. Actually don't even have a proper group, but it's my dream to entrap some people with addicting games, so that we can have regular game nights. One day... 😈
