Not much change from last week. Playing:

Borderlands 3 , my main PS game. It is really fun, story isn't anything extraordinary but the gameplay is very enjoyable, so enjoying that. May go for a platinum, but not sure yet, depends if I am feeling same by the time I finish the game.

Horizon Chase Turbo is still in my "currently playing" list but no progress this week.

Hades is my primary switch game right now. It was going pretty good but now I am stuck at boss of region 3. In my last run, I was pretty OP and reached the boss with all my health and lives intact, still couldn't kill it.

This is what I don't like about roguelikes, if you die you have to start all over again, and you don't always get great runs. Hades is pretty good in this regard as no run feel too bad, and you progressively get better and better, but still, getting stuck somewhere and then play the whole game to reach there just to die again and again can become annoying, and most of the times I don't even reach that boss in the perfect condition.

Valkyria Chronicles, same as Horizon Chase Turbo, still playing it, but not progress this week.

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

Same as last week.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I'm back on my bullshit again. Uzuki arc was fun, but when it comes time for bracket I gotta lock in. And by lock in, I mean still play like a clown.

Splatoon 3 - Didn't have too much time to practice this week, but had one good session. Really trying to work on more actionable callouts, coordinating with our specials and planning a push together rather than merely announcing things after they happen.

Persona 4 Golden - Still just post-Kanji dungeon. At the rate I am going I will finish this game... someday.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story - Man, forgot how annoying it was that you have to always go for weapon breaks against bosses or else you miss their blueprint forever. Also, RHDN shutdown has me wondering, if/when the third game's translation patch ever gets finished, where do I even look to find out about it?

Slay the Spire - I can quit any time I want, I swear.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Came dangerously close to losing my Master 1 rank on Soul, but got a few wins so I'm safeish now. I know I'm too reckless and I'm trying to work on that. I did play one of the best games I've had at club this week, had the discipline to fold several tempting hands and it turned out to be correct every time. Sometimes protecting second place through smart play is more satisfying than lucking into first.

Your gaming preferences are so different from me, it's interesting to see what you're doing.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story looks pretty good. May give it a try if it ever ends up in NSO.

I'm not even sure who owns the rights to the series anymore since Flight-Plan went out of business a long time ago. Don't know if it ever could get a rerelease.
