What are you playing...Thursday

There was a good response to the last similar post, so maybe it's time for another one! I wanted to post this yesterday, but I got distracted.

I just recently finished Momodora: Requiem Under the Moonlight, an extremely cute pixel-art metroidvania I heard about from a Dark Souls podcast, if that tells you what kind of game it is. It seems like it's geared to challenge runs--there are extra drops for beating bosses without taking damage--but I went through on Normal difficulty and had a great time.

Last night I started ゼルダの伝説:ふしぎの木の実 (大地の章) (Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons), which isn't quite as charming as I found Link's Awakening when I first played it last November, but I'm only like an hour in. It still has time to win me over. I do like the way the seasons change and I haven't even gotten the ability to manipulate them yet!

I also loaded up Warcraft III for the first time in half a decade and I'm having a hard time resisting replaying it, though I did do a couple matches against one computer. It just got a new patch, much to my surprise, and people are still playing DotA. Some things never change.

Currently playing a ridiculously simple (but cute) mobile game called Pocket Plants, and Pokémon Go because I don't have the spoons to play anything else. I'm very, very tempted by RiME, though.

One of the YouTubers I watch did an hour of RiME gameplay. It looks really pretty, but seems a bit undirected. At least, it seemed like the way to find out what to do was to poke everything and rearrange the glowing rocks because that's how these sort of games work.

Have you tried Magikarp Jump? I downloaded it when it came out, but haven't opened it yet.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to watch some let's play before I decide do buy it or not.

Have heard of it but it doesn't seem like it's my kind of games. :)
