I'm just a ghost.
Playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond that I just got from Christmas two days ago and so far I am liking it. I'm about to take on the 5th gym.
Good luck! 200cc was the only one I absolutely had to turn on auto steering for... feels like some of the maps were impossible without it (cough rainbow road cough)
I've recently been playing through Metroid Dread and exploring multiple areas and collecting any Energy Tanks and items that I find during my playthrough of the game. I'm also enjoying playing through Metroid Dread too, it's an awesome game. I haven't played a Metroid game since the time where I played one of the Metroid games for Virtual Console on the Wii U.
Put down Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I did my best, made it to chapter 8 but damn, I just got absolutely sick of the constant dialogue and cutscenes. Played about 50 hours and feels like I've only had about 5 hours of actual gameplay. Really wanted to push myself since there's only two chapters, I still might, but I'm lead to believe that's another 20 hours...Pure nope.
Picked up Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Played it before but didn't stick with it, I think I was just playing it to fill time waiting for another game or something. I do quite like this one and will probably stick with it this time, especially since Xcom 2 wasn't a brilliant experience on the Switch (love Xcom but not great for consoles IMO).

Currently playing Bravely Default. Been buying 3DS games recently so I figured I might as well play some.
I'm about 28 hours in at Chapter 3, there's still quite a few jobs missing so I'm guessing the Earth Temple next chapter is far from the end of the game lol. I'm enjoying it, though I've read that the lategame/endgame is very repetitive which is er...kinda concerning.

Yeah, I played Bravely Default years ago and dropped it because…. The lategame is literally just grinding. You have to grind your team until they reach max level, and only then can you beat the game. It became so monotonous that I just couldn’t deal with it anymore. I still love the game, and props to those who finished it, but I just… yeah…
Anyway, at the moment I’ve really only been playing Genshin Impact. Getting closer to AR 56.
Oh, and I resumed my [Lunatic] [Classic] playthrough of Fire Emblem: Awakening as well. I’m on chapter 14, and no one has died.

Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It's fun!
Playing Metroid Dread. So far it is fun, but I've liked all of the Metroid games I have played. The E.M.M.I however kind of ruin the overall experience. The first few times it's kind of fun, tense, and thrilling to be stalked by these invulnerable killing robots. But it gets old quick. It goes from being able to explore the world to just running away and not having the time to appreciate the atmosphere of the level/layout.
It loses that tension/horror feel really quick and just becomes a nuisance.
But yeah I think the game could've been worked better. Literally all the bosses you fight are ones that you are scripted to lose to over and over. I wiped the floor all the time due to how high my level was. They really should had added more villains to the main group so it felt like you made progress opposed to what they did. Watching Rex and co. get their butts handed to them after the millionth time got old real fast.

I finished XB2 and I liked the story and cast. Many say that XB1 was better and sure it might've had a stronger story, but it fell flat to me due to how hollow and lackluster the characters were. XB2 had a more fleshed out cast.

I think the story is alright (obviously aside from the ending which I've yet to see) and I do like the cast, the combat is fun too even if it takes far too long for them to give you your whole basic toolset and not feel like something is missing for 20 hours. Most things I can't really badmouth with the game in terms of quality, just there's far too much of certain elements and takes too long to get the good bits.
Kinda similar to how I feel about the Metal Gear games which I absolutely adore. Every playthrough after the first is far more enjoyable to me because I can skip the 30 hours of cutscenes and dialogue that make me think "maybe they should have made a movie or something instead because they clearly want to" the first time around and just play the 5 hour campaign.
Totally agree with the frequency of them getting their butts whooped too. That in itself gets a boring and predictable but it's a major pet peeve that I have to win a fight in a game (especially if I lost a few times) only for the cutscene to make me lose anyway. Could totally do without that so much. There's also quite a few cutscene battles where I was just thinking to myself "this looks really cool, it would be awesome if I could be playing that fight...Like some sort of game or something".
I picked up Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 since it's on sale! I've never played the first one but I've always been intrigued. It is so cute so far, I'm so happy I picked it up. Puyo Puyo is so much fun! Im not that great at Tetris but hopefully with practice I'll get better, lol.

I picked up Garden Story and Kitaria Fables during the eShop sale, and I'm currently obsessed with Kitaria. Is grindy, but as an RPG fan, I low-key love that aspect of it.

The other week I was playing a new game called Dysmantle because I felt like being destructive and wanted to whack a few zombie heads. But after an hour or so, it triggered a craving for Don't Starve. So I fired up Don't Starve again and now I'm still playing. Hooked. Again. After a few years of not playing it. I thought I was done with the game.
I first played Don't Starve in 2012 when it was in beta. I played it after it launched and kept playing it through every DLC like Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked. (Never the multiplayer though.) According to Steam, I've spent 2,950+ hours on the game. The last time I played it was 2018. I know Klei continues to update Don't Starve Together (the multiplayer). But they've been pretty much done with the singleplayer game since the last DLC, Hamlet.
Well, I'm glad to be playing DS again. It's one of the rare few games that I liked so much I actually learned to mod it. I'm playing with one of my custom characters. It's such a nostalgic experience for me.

I'm finally replaying paper mario and the thousand year door after a years long search for a copy at an acceptable price. Normally they go for $70-$90 for disk only and for a complete box they go anywhere from $110-$3,000+ and I was able to get one in original box with instruction booklet for $89 (still oof but best price I've ever seen). It's still just as fun as it used to be and I'm in my favorite chapter now (4).
