Got far too many games on the go, but these are the main ones occupying my time.
Xenoblade ChroniclesReally enjoying this. Hadn’t touched it for a few weeks due to a lack of time, but then had a good 3 hour or so session last night. All just around Gaur Plain really, completing a few side quests, grinding, exploring, levelling up my arts and getting new equipment…lovely stuff. Hoping to get another couple of hours in tonight, but weeknights are never good for that kind of thing. The combat system has a depth to it that goes beyond my level of interest, but thankfully you can ignore most of it without detriment (so far anyway). Some of the quests are frustratingly ambiguous, and I've died a few times due to massive, high-level monsters coming out of nowhere and joining into battles that didn't concern them, but otherwise it's really good fun.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HDVery much enjoying the simple goal-oriented, classic gameplay here. Soundtrack still sounds great, and while the controls feel a bit unresponsive at times, for the most part it feels fine. When THPS is good, it's damn good.
And because my 'currently playing' pile wasn't big enough, I had a sudden urge to play some…
F-Zero GXI completed the Story Mode quite a while ago but never got around to fully completing all of the GPs or unlocking all machines/parts. Think I'd just done them all on Easy and Normal. So I'm going through on Expert now and trying to unlock everything. I've done the first GP (can't remember its name) but the final three are pretty tough...I can get down to the final race on all of them with overall 1st place still being up for grabs, but I either finish too low or push so hard that I end up losing all my machines.
Must practice more!
