This week was mostly just Donkey Kong Bananza

Couldn't play as much as I wanted to, but have reached the 3rd world, and am about half-way through that too. I am going slowly by collect 100% stuff in each world, though mainly focusing on Bananas.

Still, most of the time is spent just moving around smashing through stuff.

For the times when my Switch 2 is hijacked by the little ones, I have started AI: The Somnium Files , it's a detective VN / adventure game. It was on my wishlist for a while, and with 3rd one releasing recently decided to finally give it a try.

Investigation works somewhat like in Phoenix Wright, you go to a place, and 'investigate' things / talk to people by clicking on them with the cursor. No moving around or anything. The tone is much darker, but there are some comical dialogues or descriptions. There are also some sequences where you have to move around and interact with some stuff, they are different from the normal investigation parts, but are still part of solving the mystery.

I am only on 3rd day or so, enjoying the game so far.

Certain things are alluding to certain truths already, but I wonder if it's a red herring or they are giving away stuff already.

Didn't play Marvel's Midnight Suns last week because of Bananza, but will be getting back to it on this weekend. Hope to clear Part 2 of the story soon.

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

It still disappoints me that the existence of Wild Hearts means we'll probably never get another Toukiden game from Omega Force.

Free DLC for Yumia. Outfit looks good, that "Heihachi Puni" enemy is hilarious... but the wig is 100% cursed.

Might boot up the game again to play this.

It's Donkey Kong Bananza time!

Have played a little bit, it's really fun being a strong gorilla and destroying everything in the path!

I am only in the first world yet, well, the first proper world after the starting / tutorial one, so can't say how the game progresses, but for now it's really fun. Some things make it feel like a spin-off of Odyssey, like some UI elements and in some cases the bananas look very similar to Super Mario Odyssey moons. These things are minimal though, the gameplay itself is pretty different.

The biggest issue now is to keep Switch 2 away from the kids so that I can get the time to play it.

In the week leading to it, I had some itch for Donkey Kong, I ended up playing Donkey Kong Country 3 on the NES app. I generally play these games with certain rules about rewind and save states, but I knew I am never going to finish it soon if I do that, so this time I cheated fully, with excessive use of rewind, and finished the game in a few days.

Didn't specifically rushed through the game, even tried to find any hidden items I could, and do as much of bonus stages as I could find, but it wasn't a high priority.

Also, finished The Hong Kong Massacre, just had a few levels remaining, finished them in couple of sittings. After that when I tried to look up if devs have made any other game, I realised that Switch version looks pretty bad compared to other versions. Image quality is pretty low. Not that bad if you haven't seen other versions, but still not great.

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