With all the Switch 2 hoopla, I forgot about the weekly thread.

This was also a busy week, as predicted, so didn't get to do any gaming at all. Things should be getting back to normal though.

Plan to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the weekend, and then continue Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition from Monday.

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

Currently catching up on Fire Emblem Engage! Loved Three Houses a lot, but from the media reception I already knew Engage wouldn't be as good as 3H. And indeed, the story is mediocre compared to it. However, I still like the FE gameplay anyways, so it's just been fun!

I heard actual levels are pretty good. What do you think?

Not OP, but dropping my $0.02: In terms of map design and gameplay Engage is Top Tier in the franchise. Story is mediocre, though I did enjoy the cast way more than I expected.

I think the only FE game I've played that I rank higher on gameplay is Fates: Conquest.

This year's focus is Nintendo first party games, so I may end up playing Engage soon-ish, but it's probably going to take me 3-4 months just to finish XCX, so who knows.
