I have been under the weather, so haven’t played much.
Still in the 2nd last area of Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains, the story took some weird turn. Everyone is going along with it though, so hopefully they will explain it later.
Dropped Tom Clancy’s The Division. My friends, with whom I started this game, dropped it a while ago, I wanted to complete it, but got tired of the grind, and then dying from the boss again and again.
At higher level, you die very easily, and enemies keep getting spongier, which means when playing alone, if you have to change cover during a boss fight it’s very easy to die. That combined with not feeling well, just annoyed me too much so decided to quit.
No updates on Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and Pokémon Pokopia this week.

I picked up Hades on sale a while ago, it sat in my library for a while but now that I actually started playing it I am hooked! I’m already eyeing Hades 2 once I’ve completed the story of 1.
Nice! How far along are you? And what’s your favourite weapon? Also any favourite power combo?
I have all the weapons unlocked and escaped with 1 or 2 heat with some. Favourite would be the shield, least favourite the sword… I just can’t get a run to the surface with the sword without dying along the way
Mario Kart Wii remains the most popular game in the house.
Fired up some SNES games in emulator recently.
Have you played MK 8 and / or World? Wondering how you compare MK Wii with them.
I played on n64 with friends but only Wii at home
Getting a controller instead of wiimotes is hard!
Finished Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian!
Wonderful game. After the underwhelming Atelier Yumia last year I’m happy to see Gust haven’t lost their touch.
This game does a much better job than most entries in this series in balancing between a main story to drive the game and the feel-good, slice-of-life vibes that they are known for. The battle system is great, the alchemy system is great, and I really liked the new cast - in particular the main duo of Rias and Slade.
If they ever make a follow-up to this one my biggest request would be more work on the “store management” part of the game. The one they had here is serviceable, but as a huge fan of Recetter I’d love to see a game that manages to scratch the same itch, and the Atelier series looks like a really good fit for this.
Haven’t played anything after finishing Atelier, but will try to get some gaming time in the weekend.
