Currently Playing in 2020...

I am playing Dragon Quest Builder 2 , I'm loving it but worried I'm near the end, still I suppose putting it to bed before Animal Crossing arrives wouldn't be to bad.

Got Adventure Time Hey Ice King, delivered in the post today and had a quick go at it and it's really good, it's essentially Zelda 2 which is great as I rather enjoyed that game.

Tetris Effect

Holy f'ing gooseberry fool this is good!

Having a little difficulty with the mouse controls (the only way I can play it) and haven't worked out an easy method of triggering 'zone' mode yet but after an hour's play I can see this game is something special.

The music is brilliant too, very reminiscent of the 'Electonic Battle Weapon' tracks by The Chemical Brothers, really like how it increases in intensity as the screen fills up.

I've just finished off the last of the achievements in Farming Simulator 17, then jumped onto GTA V to get back to something I've done little of as of late and create a new race. I'll probably get another new one created later.

Still playing through Judgment, up to around 33 hours now, and i've reached chapter 7.

Back on with The Witcher 3, the 3.6 update is really impressive, not had anywhere near as many stutters in the frame rate and messing about with the sharpening and AA settings really does help, as does turning off the blur and motion blur.

Just about up to where I was before Pokémon took over my gaming time so exploring Velen and slowly making my way to the Bloody Baron who I just met on my previous game.

I fear Tetris addiction may be setting in.

Currently on the (apparent) final stage which has 90 lines to clear instead of the usual 30, keep getting to around 70, at which point the speed increases ridiculously and I fail.

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I just beat the original game so thought I’d give this a go. Not very far yet, just 4 levels in but I’m rather enjoying it.

I just got the Lord Vessel in Dark Souls. Time to do all the weird shitty bits then (Lost Izalith and The Tomb of Giants )

Story is interesting so far but I don’t get the ‘omg best game ever’ comment this seemed to get. Not to say it’s duff as I am enjoying it but it just feels like a standard Platinum action game.

Still cracking on with this, just past the point where you rescue 9S.

It’s a good game but I still fail to see why so many people raved about this and it’s story. Gameplay is standard Platinum flair, I like the idea of the plug in chips and being able to tinker your skill set as you want. The story is ok so far, I can only think it must get really good when you start going for the other endings?

Once I finish this first run and get ending A I’ll take a break and play something else before tackling the other endings.

Bought myself a PC (my first since 2007), and I've been playing Planet Coaster, and it's the first time in ages that I've had that feeling of not noticing time passing when I'm playing.

Just going through the Campaign for now to familiarise myself with it all, but I'm dreading the amount of time I'll probably spend in the sandbox mode.

Have spent the last week playing a lot of Tetris Effect. Completed Journey on Expert mode a few times now, and got SS rank across most of the game. Can't see myself ever getting it on Sprint though.

I've not played it, but I believe that's it, yeah

I'll be happy to finish Journey on easy mode.

The final speed increase on the last 20 lines always finishes me off.

Save up your zone for as long as possible to head into the last burst with a clear board. There's no secrets to Tetris sadly, just good practice. I recall you mentioning that games with a lot of twitch reflexes are more challenging for you these days, so it would be incredible to get through it!

My main problem is that I've got the mouse sensitivity very high to reduce the demand on my hand and ccasionally end up dropping a block in the wrong place.

I'm managing to play it quite well considering the physical challenges I face so I won't be too upset if I don't manage to beat it.

Yes! Finally beat it!

Didn't even use Zone mode.

Spent most of yesterday (Paddies Day here so day off) playing State of Decay 2, it's new juggernaut edition along with the 20 other patches that proceeded it provide a wonderful Zombie slaying and strategic management sim rolled up in one.

I then played Sea of Thieves with my 9yr old girl, I decided to take on the new Flame Heart quest in this update and not only did Sophie love the little diary that you get to read through at start, she actually solved the first puzzle to get the key, she was so proud and excited. An amazing adventure of Indian Jones x the Goonies awaited us, not to give too many spoilers away but I let her open the secret entrance as she figured out the puzzle to get the key stone in the first place.

Started Mass Effect Andromeda. Interesting premise, the gameplay isn't that great so far though.
