This week was mostly just Donkey Kong Bananza

Couldn’t play as much as I wanted to, but have reached the 3rd world, and am about half-way through that too. I am going slowly by collect 100% stuff in each world, though mainly focusing on Bananas.

Still, most of the time is spent just moving around smashing through stuff.

For the times when my Switch 2 is hijacked by the little ones, I have started AI: The Somnium Files , it’s a detective VN / adventure game. It was on my wishlist for a while, and with 3rd one releasing recently decided to finally give it a try.

Investigation works somewhat like in Phoenix Wright, you go to a place, and ‘investigate’ things / talk to people by clicking on them with the cursor. No moving around or anything. The tone is much darker, but there are some comical dialogues or descriptions. There are also some sequences where you have to move around and interact with some stuff, they are different from the normal investigation parts, but are still part of solving the mystery.

I am only on 3rd day or so, enjoying the game so far.

Certain things are alluding to certain truths already, but I wonder if it’s a red herring or they are giving away stuff already.

Didn’t play Marvel’s Midnight Suns last week because of Bananza, but will be getting back to it on this weekend. Hope to clear Part 2 of the story soon.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    I’ll be interested to read your future updates about AI: The Somnium Files. I really like Kotaro Uchikoshi’s work, he has written some of my favourite visual novels previously including Ever 17 and 999. I’ll wait until you’re further in before I talk about The Somnium Files (I don’t want to spoil or influence anything for you).

      Oh, I didn’t realise it’s written by the same guy who wrote 999 and Zero Escape series. Those are already in my wishlist, if I knew I would’ve preferred to play those first. Ah well, too late for that now.

      I post update weekly in this thread, so let’s discuss it more when I have played it further.
