Still playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, nothing more to say about it. Though, while the game is still fun, I think my stamina for 50+ hours games has gone really down. I am about 65 hours in. I think I can do 10 or so more hours without much issue, hopefully I'll be near the end by then.

Played some more of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Cleared the first temple, and now clearing the second temple, I am quite sure I have cleared more than half of it. Should reach the third temple over the weekend.

One interesting thing is, Ocarina of Time has interesting dungeons and kinda meh overworld, which is opposite of BotW and TotK.

I also started couple of "side-games". Horizon Chase Turbo a no nonsense arcade racing game, it's just race after race, without any other shenanigans. I have only played the first area, so not sure if I will keep liking it, but for now I am enjoying it.

Also started Golf Story. This has been on my wishlist since Switch's launch year. A lite-RPG / golf game. I am not really a big golf fan, but I am enjoying it in this game.

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

I'm probably playing some Ship Of Fools with the wife and some DBD if I get the time.

Tried Once Human and got ssooo bored before I got too far past the initial area realizing it just was not going to be the game for me

Golf story

Sounds interesting. I always liked all of the early Mario sports games (except soccer just never enjoyed it) mostly tennis, not mostly because of the extra flavor they added with the minivans and powerups and such.

Is it straight up golf?

Interesting set of games. How is Ship of Fools for playing with non or casual gamer?

Well, there's a story, and you have some quests like things, not a full blown RPG, but a bit like that. Though, most of the those quests are going somewhere to talk to someone, who then tell you to hit something or some area with your golf ball. Completing the quest gives you XP which lets you level up and improve your stats.

Once you clear an area you can play the main course there, but these aren't normal golf courses, each area has it's own gimmick or obstacle, for instance one area has lots of water, but you can target specific area in water and bounce your ball on the back of turtle to give it a boost.
