Finished Chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was trying to do the side missions before going for the story mission but had very high level enemies around, so after trying that for a while, went for the main mission.

Have just started chapter 4. Going to explore and do the side content now.

Also played some Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Game is progressing well, but I think I'll get tried or bored of it. Just not feeling much enjoyment playing it.

I shared most of my feelings a few back, but one annoying aspect I missed was loot system. Each companion has their own loot, which I find a bit annoying. In DA: Inquisition, I played as fighter, but any non-fighter equipment, or light / medium armor I had, I equipped it to my companions, even heavy armor that I wasn't wearing went to them, same with weapons. But now all that extra loot is useless. Feels very restrictive in an RPG, and it made me lose interest in loot quickly enough.

Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

On Switch I'm playing through Mario Wonder (awesome game - have been slowly savouring it over the last few months) and Steamworld Quest. I'd heard mixed things about Quest, but I'm really enjoying it! I like how each character has their own deck of cards which you can synergize with the rest of your team. And it's a bit more forgiving than something like Slay the Spire as you can add or remove cards to your decks at your leisure.

On PS5 I just started Spiderman 2 - loving the larger map and ability to switch characters.

Quest is the only Steamworld game that I didn't finish. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't for me. Still played about half of it though, maybe more.

"Spider-man" 2, respect the hyphen! Great game. Loved flying around. The traversal in these games is really good. Can't wait to see what Insomniac releases next. (Where's Wolverine!?)
