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?

Started Octopath Traveler 2 this week.

Didn't play too much, only did the introduction for 4 of the characters. Initially, I really struggled with myself on how to approach this game. Just go with one character for the challange, do everything for 4 characters and then do the other 4 or just everyone at once. In the end, I'll probably juggle all 8, but it's really annoying that I can't remove my starting character (which is why I considered the solo run, you can remove them after their story is done).

No matter what I do, I'll proabbly end up overleveled for a lot of stuff, which sucks.

Otherwise the game is great, but I still think the main gimmick - 8 more or less independant characters and stories - just doesn't work all that great on a fundamental level. Maybe I'll think otherwise after finishing it, supposedly it does it better than the first one.

... I still think the main gimmick - 8 more or less independant characters and stories - just doesn’t work all that great on a fundamental level. Maybe I’ll think otherwise after finishing it, supposedly it does it better than the first one.

This was my main issue with the first one. Loved the visuals, and gameplay / combat was also good, but it felt like playing the same game 8 times. So just gave up. I have heard OT 2 is better in every aspect, but I have heard the main "gimmick" remains the same, so will probably skip it too.

Going to try Octopath Traveller 0 though, since it seems different.
