Started Yoshi and the Mysterious Book! Just played first three levels before my kids stole the Switch 2, will play it a bit more over the weekend.

Each level is about investigating a specific creature, you have to try different actions that gives us more info about that creature, it is then noted in the book. These actions can be as simple as jumping on them, or complicated which requires series of actions. One thing better than Crafted world is that whole level remains explorable (at least for now, dunno if changes in later levels), so if you missed something, you can go back and try to do that. Though, there is no list of things that you need to do, when you clear the level once, it fills some pages with the things you did, and add some empty places for things you missed, but it doesn't cover everything, for instance if there are 10 pages of items to do, and you only did let's say 5 pages, it will only highlight missing items on that pages, and won't show the remaining 5 pages of things you missed.

Game is very relaxing and fun, but it is too early to give any final verdict.

Started King Oddball. It's another game by 10tons, the developers behind Sparkle 2 that I finished last week. You are a big weird alien head, who throws stones using his tongue to destroy tanks (and probably other stuff). You have 3 stones to clear all enemies. I'll be playing it slowly, clearing a level or two when deciding what to play, or just playing for a few mins. Probably won't mention it again until I finish it.

Finished Lords of the Fallen (2014). You get really OP near the end, so didn't have much trouble clearing rest of the bosses and areas. Only problem was figuring out where to go, which is a big problem in this game, had trouble finding out where to go next multiple times.

It is probably one of the easiest soulslike I have played, there were whole areas and bosses where I didn't die even once. This usually doesn't happen. Some of the mechanics feel a bit weak, like the timing of attack window. Also, it's not a very long game, it took somewhere around 10 hours for me to finish the game.

Overall, I don't think it's a must play game, but if you are interested in the series and want to play from the very first game, it's not bad game.

Started Fallout 4 once again. Got it on PS+ quite a while ago, and I played it back then, but for some reason I never finished it. So now taking my time and slowly exploring stuff. Looked up various builds online for some ideas and going with V.A.T.S based gunslinger, or well at least my own version of it, since I just skimmed the general idea and didn't pay much attention to required perks and S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats.

Finished the second chapter and reached the investigation part of third chapter of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition!

Spoiler for Chapter 2

The second trial felt very similar to the first one, the culprit was very obvious, there was just one point that could point it to another character, but other than that it was very straightforward.

Or that's what I thought. I was really surprised with the way things turned out in the end. Game really knows how to keep player on the toes.

At this point I don't think the victim and the umm.. "the person who does it" are dynamic. They are same for everyone. Anyways, for the small chance it isn't so, in my case the second victim was Chihiro and he was killed by Mondo

More Pokémon Pokopia. Slowly meeting more Pokémon, not much to say about it.

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

Almost finished Octopath Traveler II.

Finished my run through with the 3 character team, finished most side stories and am almost done with Hikaris solo run. From what I've heard, the post-game isn't very long, although it does require a lot of annoying grinding. Normal content only goes up to level ~50, but the final boss seems to require level ~80. You can only reasonably reach this level by hitting a 7% chance for 100x EXP from a certain (expensive) recruitable NPC within a fight with a rare monster encounter. Think metal slimes. I don't have a number for that one, but I've seen 2 during my ~65 hours. Rinse and repeat for multiple teams.

...yeah, not really feeling that one. I'll try fighting him low level. I'm not good with resetting for random stuff.

Did the second chapter of Danganronpa. Just an hour ago, actually.

The status quo changed so much, I feel like any semblance of normalcy or trust are gone.

Chapter 2

Mondo killed Chihiro. As someone else wrote, the game is linear.

I went in with two assumptions:

Chihiro is trans. I picked up on it immediately when the pool area was introduced, and I guess I was half right.
Byakuya killed him and tried to pin it on Toko, who will play along out of love. That was the obvious trap, I guess.

After this case, I feel like any and all events between cases are directly related to the next case. I previously assumed the whole sauna bromance thing to be a setup for later conflict.

Going into the next chapter will be weird.

First of all, there's a confirmed serial killer.
Byakuya is both kinda stupid and a massive troll. No way in hell he could have defended himself alone after everyone thought he did it.
Taka lost his first and only friend, I guess. He'll be a changed man for sure.
Celeste seems like a second Byakuya.
The 16th student was confirmed.
Someone is in cahoots with Monokuma. My money is on either Kyoko or a returning Junko. Maybe Toko.

So, about the Danganronpa stuff:

Reply to Chapter 2 Spoilers

I didn't pick up on Chihiro being trans (or any similar vibe), should start paying more attention to these.

The Byakuya killing and pinning on Toko part is what I thought as well, but as you said, it was an obvious trap.

I didn't even think that sauna bromance thing will be related to the cases, I just chalked it up to character development in-between the cases. I didn't even think about it after the trial...

Personally, I can't really decide who will be working for Monokuma. I guess Kyoko could be one, Junko was very surely dead, I don't think she will be returning. I thought Byakuya might be one, but he has too high an opinion of himself to do anything like that. My money is on Hiro, he acts way too innocent.
