What have you been playing?

I’ve been playing a lot of Mario and Luigi Brothership. It’s pretty ok! Def not like an amazing game but I don’t think it’s the 4/10 IGN gave it

    I have been losing interest in Blue Prince. (This is spoiler free.) Many of the late game puzzles are beginning to feel grindy. I need to get specific rooms but it’s random chance if I do, and then when I get them it’s not guaranteed I’ll even know how to solve what’s going on. It’s been very enjoyable up until now but it’s lost some appeal in the end.

    I have been playing a little Animal Crossing because my spouse got back into it. I have been playing a little Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Mario + Rabbids because I’ve been using my switch more.

      I’m right there with ya on Blue Prince. The late game seems more like tricks than actual puzzles. That being said, it also makes it so I feel less bad about looking things up.

        There was one puzzle I looked up the answer to and I was furious.

        Office safe spoiler

        You’re supposed to count the counts but there are four fucking statues?? Not three?? So why the fuck is the code 0303 and not 0304??

          Oh, I know that one. Infuriating

          Grid message spoiler

          The hint is the count’s last name is Gates, and the grid says to count small gates, so only the little statues count.

            Ahhhhhhh, okay. I retract my comment then, but that’s still stupid to me. I was missing a few letters and thought it said something like “GAINS”. I guess I got a few wrong on that row.

              Oh, don’t retract it. It is a bad way to indicate the solution since it requires the Foyer and to have finished the grid message accurately. IMO anything that can be foiled by RNG is a bad way to do it.
