Still playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, I am about 50 hours in, and I can see at least 20-30 hours more, maybe even 50, who knows. Still enjoying the game, so no complaints there.

Cleared the Goron Dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, got lost on my way to Zora domain. Found the way, but haven't reached it yet. Controls aren't much of an issue anymore, and didn't need any help until clearing the Goron Dungeon, though had to look up a bit because I got lost after that.

When looking up where to go next, I found out there are tons of collectables that I missed, got couple of them, but then thought I don't want to use guide to find these things, at least not in my first playthrough, and not before I have finished most of the game. So, left those, and did some exploring my own, and now getting ready to go to Zora domain.

During the week, when looking for a game to play in small bursts, resumed Swords and Soldiers, it's a 2D strategy / tower defense game. I started playing it a long time ago, but only did 15 out of 40 levels, so played some of the older levels to get the feel of it again and enjoying it now. I am at level 35 now. There are 4 campaigns, and each has 10 levels, so I am basically halfway through the last Campaign. Got a sudden difficulty spike so stuck for a bit, but plan to finally finish it now.

What about all of you? What have you playing lately?

Not sure if this will make sense for people who haven't played the game, but I when I say "grindy" it's less "keep repeating the same stages to gain XP/Money" and more in the lines of "there's a lot of small optional stages that look similar and you're not required to do... but probably want to because it unlocks extra portions of the map and makes life easier".

These shorts stages are somewhat repetitive so it's annoying if you try to play them at all at once, but they are optional and their compact nature make them a good option as a break between longer stages or when you only have time for a short gaming session.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the info!
