Hello Everyone!

Didn't get to play much this week. And haven't really started anything new.

  • Played a few levels of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, not much though, still on the same water world.
  • Played Dragon Quest XI for couple of hours, going to continue playing that.
  • Reached High Rank in Monster Hunter: World but now I am stuck at Pink Rathian, maybe I need to improve my equipment, or maybe I should cave and fire that SOS flare.
  • Playing a bit of Brotato before sleep, if I am not tired. Finally cleared it once, now trying other characters and weapon combinations. A combination of guns has been working out great for me though. All guns, all different type, and focusing on increasing ranged attack.

That's all from me, what about you guys? What have you been playing?

It's fantastic. If you're new to the series, it's the best game to start with due to how many items and gear are available to help you out. It's also a great place to start story-wise too (even though these games' stories aren't important or big anyway) since it's a retread of Pikmin 1's story, but expands on it with more characters.

I can comfortably beat all games in the series, so difficulty-wise, I think it's the easiest in the series. The game definitely becomes difficult in the dandori battles (where your efficiency skills are put to the test in a battle against a cpu to collect the most treasure).

As for downsides, this game has no true coop either, which is a bummer since Pikmin 3 Deluxe included this feature. The second player option in this game acts as a helper instead of controlling a full character. There are no difficulty options either, and a new game+ would be nice as well.

Overall, I give the game a 9.5/10.
