Enhanced graphics bring the world to life like a beautifully crafted diorama!​

Enjoy refined gameplay and controls, with a brand-new mode planned that will let you step into the role of Chup, the anime's protagonist!​

Played Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Made some progress, cleared a major area, Now in the second last area, though the last area is supposed to be pretty big, so there's still some game left.

Also played lots of Tom Clancy's The Division. Leveled up a couple of times, plan to do the next main quest this weekend and continue cleaning up the side stuff.

Started Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, it's a fun 3D platformer, though sometimes aiming can be a bit annoying. It doesn't matter most of the time, but had some trouble because of that during a boss fight, as you have to paint specific parts of the boss.

Other than that, game feels polished, and some design elements feel a bit dated, but overall it still feels fun. It could be my nostalgia speaking though.

No Pokémon Pokopia this week. Will start getting back to doing little stuff here and there this week.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Switch carts are back on the menu 🤷‍♀️
