Hello Everyone!
It’s time for this week’s, “What are you playing” thread.
I wasn’t able to give as much time to gaming as I thought, who knew running a community can take so much time. Even when all members are so great, and I don’t have to moderate anything.
I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.
Other than that, me and wife just got NSO Expansion pass, and started the Happy Home Paradise DLC, while resuming our Animal Crossing play-through. Just cleaning the long neglected island, and helping Harv build the shops.
What about all of you? What are you playing?

I’m finally getting back to playing TOTK and my love for this game increases every single minute I spend in it.
I absolutely adore this game!
Yeah, I wasn’t expecting to love it so much after the BOTW, I mean, how can you improve the formula further, but they just did. 😀
Probably some D4 and street fighter 6. Picked up Steins gate elite on sale though so might start that.
Finished ToTK and now exploring and doing side-quests. I have a rule of no fast travel and it’s so much fun
It’s taking me so long with fast travel. Without fast travel, I may never play another game. It does sound fun though. I did that in Skyrim (but not in my first play-through), and enjoyed it immensely.
Yeah I will end up spending maybe 300+ hrs in ToTK but with BotW I often found that there were quests and details that I skipped because of fast traveling. First playthrough I skipped Link’s house and Tarrey town entirely.
This time I want to take in as much as I can
Yeah, same with Tarrey Town, I for some reason didn’t even stumble on it. Learned about it online, how it’s the best quest line, so went back in looking for it.
I am not regularly jumping around with fast travel, but when I have to go far away, I just wrap to it, but if the place is somewhat near, I would sometimes just walk to it, and sometimes fast travel, depending on the area and urgency.
still tears of the kingdom. before that was a long dry spell for the switch because of the steam deck I got
Been replaying Sunshine and just started Wind Waker again. I’m really loving these older games. I wish I could appreciate them more in the past. Oh well, there’s always the future!
I’ve been splitting my time mostly between ToTK and Metroid Prime Remaster, feels like a pretty good combo to break things up between. Just finally picked up It Takes Two, so I’ll probably see if the wife wants to game with me a bit tonight or tomorrow after she’s home from work.
Still playing Tears of the Kingdom! I’ve been playing it nearly every waking moment of free time since it came out and it still feels like there is so much left to explore. I’m at 3 sages and 80 shrines, so I know I’m roughly 75% done, but there are so many discoveries that I just keep tripping over constantly.
Just gotten Animal Crossing and wanted to play, by curiosity.
For the rest, still moving of Cult of the Lamb, I know it had a lot of updates, but peoples says it’s unplayable when you have 25+ fellows, so I’m still playing to get this number of fellows before making a review. For now, it’s kinda good (15 fellows).
TOTK still, because once Pikmin 4 comes out I will switch to that
still haven’t even beat a single ‘regional phenomena’ yet… can’t stop myself from randomly exploring, which is honestly my favorite part of botw/totk anyway
I play Fire Emblem Engage. Just finished a Ironman run and maybe try to beat the DLC mapps as well with my now limited army
Someone else also mentioned in the post that they are playing Engage, and I asked them how they are liking it, and going to ask you the questions.
How are you liking FE Engage? Have you played Three Houses? Most people I know prefer Three Houses over it, and didn’t like Engage much.
I’ve been playing a ton of Diablo 4, but definitely want to find some time to hop back into Hyrule and complete some side quests in TotK. I also want to play through Kirby’s Tilt ‘n’ Tumble on NSO; I never managed to pick it up when it was new on GBC, so I’m stoked that I finally get to play a game that has eluded me for so long!
There’s also a NSO mission to play Kirby’s Tilt ‘n’ Tumble this week. For 30 coins. I usually don’t care about these coins, but they are useful int buying those avatars.
Which class are you playing in Diablo 4, and how are you liking it?
Thanks for the heads up about the coins! I typically don’t care either, but if it’s for a game I’m checking out anyway…I mean, why not?
I’ve been playing Rogue and Sorceress! Both are a lot of fun; I’m using daggers with the Rogue so she’s my close-combat character and my Sorc is ice, so going ranged fighter with her.
Nice. I only played with the Necromancer during the Beta, it was really fun, obliterating all enemies. Necromancer is (was, I guess, since apparently they nerfed it) very strong against a crowd of normal enemies, but much weaker against single strong enemy, like bosses.
nearing the end of the ToTK main story (i think), so i’ve been debating how heavy i want to go into all the side quests. I can’t believe how much this community has grown, you’re crushing it as the mod!
Thanks, it’s really appreciated.
The game is huge, and sometimes it’s okay to consider the game finished after the main story is done, nothing wrong with that. For instance, I am never going for all the koroks. Even all the shrines aren’t necessary, but I’ll try to do most of the side-quests. At least that’s the plan for now.
i fully agree, but i’m also like 10 hours deep currently into exploring the depths as much as possible lol
lol. Keep going! I am cheering for you!
I finished Yoshi’s Crafted World, finally after like 3 years of owning it. So now I’ve decided “welp I guess it’s time to play Breath of the Wild”. Enjoying it so far, I do need to get to Kirby tho… which I was planning on doing once I finished Luigi’s Mansion 3, Paper Mario and Yoshi’s Crafted World, oh well.
In non-Nintendo stuff, I’ve been playing Fallout 4 on PC because I’ve gotten that itch. I’ve only ever played in PS4, I think I got it on PC when it went on sale. It’s really weird playing it with a mouse and keyboard, but it’s a lot of fun building a new character and trying to figure out their personality… she feels like very sarcastic and mean but will soften up when you get to know her.
@landsharkkidd @slimerancher I enjoyed yoshi‘s crafted world a lot. And I played it together with my little ones.
I’ve been attempting Etrian Odyssey III on the switch but the controller feels clunky for mapping and the game feels so much more challenging than I remember ~10 years ago? lol.
I think we were used to playing difficult games back then, with all the improvements and changes in game design, the old games feel more difficult than they used to.
Have you tried auto-mapping? Does that make game less clunky? Or does it reduces the enjoyment of the game?
Thanks for the reminder about auto-mapping! I haven’t got to try it out. I feel like that will help, I loved mapping on the 3DS but I don’t think It’ll hinder my enjoyment on the switch.
Do try it, and share your feedback!
For now, Bayonetta Next is 2 and 3
