Splatoon Raiders is a single-player spin-off. So, if you didn't play the previous games because they were multiplayer games, this can be worth trying.

I am looking forward to Pokopia, Wonder, Yoshi, FE and Splatoon Raiders.

I am not 100% sold on Pokopia but going to keep an eye on it. As for FE, I am still playing FE: Three Houses, and have FE: Engage to play after that, so won't be getting FE: Fortune's Wave anytime soon. Wonder I missed, as I was playing other games, so now will wait for the Switch 2 version.

Yoshi and Splatoon will probably be day-1 releases though, but you never know, was planning to play Metroid Prime 4 day-1 too.

Good luck with making your game, is there anywhere we can follow your progress?

I want to learn game development, and fiddled around a bit with Godot, but I have 0 creativity so maybe if someday meet some like minded creative person 😀

Barely enjoyable is tons better than how you were feeling before. So congratulations!

How is Coral Island? It's on my wishlist, but haven't seen any reviews.

Heh, good luck!

Yeah, putting the game on GKC wasn't a good idea. Good luck with the final boss!

Absolutely! It has its issues, but it’s still a good game.

That's good to know. This seems to have pretty mixed reviews, but should be enjoyable for someone like me, who doesn't have a long history with Metroid franchise.

Well, some people love roguelike games, and it has gotten very good reviews. But I personally have enough of that. Will probably try Hades 2, but don't plan to try any other roguelike game for now.

Why did you play Max Payne 2 before 1? This doesn't sit right with me! 😀

Well, hope the game gets better! Good luck!

It is on my wishlist, glad to see you enjoying it.

Oooh, wire-to-wire victory, that's great. I bought and played a few board games in last couple of weeks too, was going to mention in the post but it had already become too long.

Bought Eat-Carrot, Whirl Othello, Abalone and Clue Giant Edition. Eat Carrot looks like a game for very little kids but my daughter was interested so got it, but it's pretty fun, one of the most family fun we had was with this. Each player has 4 rabbits, and the goal is to start from one side and reach the top of the carrot. Every turn you pick up a card and move 1, 2, or 3 places or spin the carrot, depending on what the card shows. When you spin the carrot, the place where you are standing can become a hole and you can fall down, losing your rabbit, or it can throw you down from the board making you start from beginning, or raise the drawbridge to block your way.

Whirl Othello is made up of 4 3x3 squares, each turn you put your piece on the board and rotate any of the board by 90 degree. The goal is to have 5 in a row. 2 players only. In Abalone you can move your 1, 2, or 3 pieces in any of the 6 directions. The goal is to push other person's piece from the board. The first one to push out 6 pieces wins. The toughest of all games, and most complicated (but still not that complicated) but very enjoyable.

Clue Giant Edition we got cause we never owned a copy of Clue and our kids have never played it, so wanted to rectify that, but this turned out to be some weird spin-off of Clue. It was kinda boring.

I bought Ace Attorney Investigations, continuing the trend of buying games I happily bought and beat in previous console generations.

Hopefully with backward compatibility becoming common we won't have to keep buying older games anymore!

What are your plans for starting Octopath Traveler 0?

I’m so glad the weekend posts are back! I missed them over the course of late December. I hope y’all have a better 2026 than last year (whether yours was bad or good).

Thanks, it's nice to know people look forward to and miss these. And thanks! hope you also have a better 2026!

Ah, interesting. Where can we watch your playthrough?

Isn't that a bit jarring? Or are the games different enough that it doesn't feel like that?

I would love Xenosaga remakes. I doubt I'll go back and play the originals, so having the remakes will be great. I should finally play Persona 5 Royal.

Why not just skip the game? Life is too short to spend on bad games :-)

I start to get an itch if I have too many unfinished games. Though if I officially drop the game, I count it as finished, it's only the games I plan to continue that give me a slight anxiety.

Good luck with Metroid and your other games!

I'll try to play one of Kyle Thompson's game this year. Maybe Islets or Sheepo. Hopefully I'll enjoy them too.

Did you drop Hades after completing one escape? I think you need to escape about 8 times to get the credits, and then about 20 or so for the true ending. I only escaped twice and then watched the endings on YouTube.

Hades is probably the only roguelike that I have liked yet, so will try Hades 2, eventually. Good to see that it improves upon the first one.

Super Robot Taisen Y reminds me that I have to start on my mecha animes. You recommended a few last time so will have to see which are easily accessible.

Hehe, yeah, those old games can be tough without guides. Good luck with Oracle of Ages!
