Still playing Paper Mario . Finished Chapter 1, currently in Chapter 2. Let’s see how much further I can get over this weekend.

Also playing some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, trying to get all the trophies. Only playing it once a while, so it is going to take a long while.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

    Just curious, but are you a Harry Potter fan? And did it effect (increased/ decreased) your enjoyment of the game?

      Believe it or not, I’ve read the books and saw all the movies, but was a franchise for which my love decreased as it evolved. So not a huge fan at the end, but the game was not very punishing for knowing or not a lot of lore.

      Regardless, the game itself is greatly done in some parts and some others were left without any love. I won’t go into spoilers. The graphics are incredible for being on the switch, and the beginning of the game and mostly the castle are amazingly done with a lot of details and love. You can definitely feel to be a student in hogwarts and it’s great. There are some beasts to interact to, which was also interesting and I had some fun with those mechanics.

      The main problem is that at some point most of the missions are outside the castle (which is just land half empty with repetitive areas), which breaks the immersion of the hogwarts-life built in the castle. Partly because of that, some of the story and side missions don’t make a lot of sense to me, which was a bit of a disappointment, mostly towards the end (I think I felt the same about the books/movies 🤔).

        Ah, interesting.

        Maybe something they can improve in the sequel (which I am sure they will make, considering how well it did).
