AC:NH and Tomodachi Life. ...I think I said this last time, maybe I should start playing different games. 
Currently Playing?

I'm just focusing on playing Digimon Survive for now. I have a habit of starting too many games at once, getting overwhelmed, and never finishing them. So I'm trying to just play this one for now until I at least complete the main story
I've been mostly going back to the games I've played (last year) and yet to finish on my PS5/Series X, then a few of the new ones that were released this year that I try to squeeze in. And they are a lot, like I don't think I'd finish them anytime soon. Haven't even got time to play the new Splatoon (and also feel quite disappointed in it).
Playing a little bit of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania on Switch. I was stuck for months on a really difficult level, finally beat it and now am stuck 2 levels later.
Picked up Assassins Creed Origins (alongside Odyssey and Valhalla) as there was a bundle sale for £30 (£40?) with them. I'm not fond of the AC games, never have been but for some reason I just had that desire to play it and thought the bundle was decent value.
Now for one, I'm very disappointed that I bought that bundle and a day later Origins (and another few days later Odyssey too) came to Game Pass. That was a kicker...Though I guess Valhalla alone is probably not far off costing £30 anyway, so I've not lost THAT much as I would probably have gotten around to all three eventually.
But I like it. Maybe I've just been away from Ubisoft games long enough for the formula to no longer annoy me (haven't played a Ubisoft game in years), maybe it's the fact that the stupid "modern day" storyline that aided immensely in ruining the original couple games for me seems to have been almost totally scrapped, but it's fun. Helps that I absolutely adore ancient Egypt as a setting so I did kind of want this on day one, but it's AC so I didn't. Bit repetitive which is par the course for pretty much every open world game, fairly simple even on hard mode, but I like it. It's the only Assassins Creed game I've played that I would actually recommend to people.
Also fun that I came across a questline where a giant glowing "XV" was on the side of some ruins, jokingly thought "Lol, Final Fantasy XV quest" and...It turns out it actually was a Final Fantasy XV questline. Got a themed sword and shield I'll never use alongside a """chocobo""" mount that is actually a horrifying monstrosity where a Chocobo and a camel have been melded together to birth the most hideous creature I've come across in recent memory. Absolutely heartbroken when I excitedly summoned it thinking I would be traveling Egypt on a chocobo only to have that eldritch horror turn up.
7/10. It's alright actually.
Also, Divinity : Original Sin 2 on the Switch when I'm out and about.
I've owned this since original release on PC, I've smashed through definitive edition but I wanted it on the go. Never played the console versions of these games before but heard they decent and I wanted to play it again, so two birds n' all that.
It looks fine. In handheld I can't actually spot any difference to running it on my PC without a side by side comparison, unlike a lot of Switch ports where everything is smudgy and blurry as hell.
Playing it though...Eee...I'm really not fond of the console layout. Things just aren't mapped or accessed the way I would expect them to be which is resulting in a lot of time just accidentally going through different menus and different actions as I yet again press and do what I thought it should be rather than what it actually is. I don't find it very intuitive at all. Had I not played the PC version thus know how good the game is, I would have gotten tired of the Switch version by now because I'm just not getting used to the console design of everything at all.

Currently playing Switch version of Digimon Survive. I'm up to Chapter 7, which from the looks of things seems to be past the halfway point? Easily my GOTY along with Xenoblade 3. Shame I missed out on Guilmon, ah well.
I used to like Digimon but don't think I ever owned a Digimon game. Have heard good things about this one though... it's really that good? What do you like about it?

It is! Personally I like the grid-based, SRPG combat. Can't explain it well but it's surprisingly deep for what's otherwise a visual novel at first glance. Directions are very important in combat alongside the whole element system. The verticality in maps, etc. It's very fun imo - just now I've been doing free battles to take a break from the plot.
Sounds pretty neat, I used to like a few grid based tactics/RPG games. I'll have to look more into this. Thank you
In my comf era playing Potion Permit and Cozy Grove. I last played Cozy Grove back when it was released in April 2021 - it has come a long way!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Spiritfarer. All great games, highly recommend each of them. Spiritfarer is such a great, emotional game for me.
I'm still playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons daily, as has been the case every time I've posted in this thread, lol. I did play a bit of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 lately since I have been wanting to play it for awhile, but now I'm onto Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, starting off with GTA 3.

I've been bouncing around playing different games depending on my mood. Trombone Champ for the laughs, Hypercharge Unboxed with my friends and Bioshock to get some adventuring in

i do new leaf of course.
i'm in the middle of a visual novel called nurse love addiction on the ps vita (it's also on switch).
also playing puyo puyo tetris, but that's a game you can play away from story mode.

Miitopia on the Switch! I fricking love this game.
And I'm still playing Tomodachi Life, of course.

Recently re-purchased Fantasy Life for the Nintendo 3DS and been playing that as well. Such a great game. Expensive, but worth it.
Yessss. One of my favorite 3DS games. Enjoy playing through it again!
I'm now mainly playing Potion Permit and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Cozy Grove was lovely, but the repetition in fetch quests (picking things up all over the island) kills it for me.
