Still playing Final Fantasy XIV on PlayStation. Reached level 54, with main quests at around level 40. Not much else to add here.
I am halfway through Tiny Lands, reached world 6, and halfway through that too. So, about 33-34 levels remaining.
Some of these can be pretty easy, but can get stuck on some, but I think that’s mostly subjective and would be different for different people.
That’s pretty much all, but since it’s such a small post, I will just mention couple of games that I play, but at such a slow pace that they don’t end up in the post.

Picross S5 : I bought my first Picross game, Picross S few days after it was released, and since then I always have a Picross game going on. I just love these games. Though sometimes I take month long breaks, and sometimes I’ll only do 3-4 puzzles a week, but I regularly play it. Currently I am on Picross S5 and am about 1/3rd of the way through it.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun : Playing this on PC since last year. I love Tactics games, even though I am not very good at them, and have strong nostalgia for Real Time Tactics. Only issue is I don’t like to play on PC, I use it for work 10 hours a day already, and it’s too distracting for me to game on it. So I play it 10-20 mins here and there. Don’t remember what mission number I am on, started it more than a month ago, and will probably last another month or so.

Street Fighter 6 : Got it on PS (way before Switch2), and while I am not a good player I play it every now and then.
-
Mario Kart World and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe : No need to say anything about these.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Xenoblade X is still going. I like how you don’t need to put aside a lot of time to play it. Even if I just have half an hour to spend, I can just get something done and call it a day, it’s nice. Got my Skells today, though I don’t see myself using them quite yet. The Switch version isn’t nearly as bad about large enemies having to be fought in Skells or you die, regardless of level. That was a huge problem for me in the original.
Monster Hunter Wilds got its third title update this week and the Final Fantasy XIV crossover boss absolutely wrecked me. Omega is clearly not meant to be fought by yourself, emulating its MMO roots. It went a lot smoother with Support Hunters, but I still lost to being utterly confused by its mechanics, that are unlike anything Monster Hunter usually does. I had to actually research the fight and I’ll try again tomorrow. I’m confident I can do it now, but that’s only the easy version. I’ll try the Hyper Variant once to see what it’s like, but I’m leaving it until I’m done with everything else. I haven’t been playing enough in recent months to feel ready for such a beast!
I’ve started playing Wild Arms 2. I’ve played the first one again last year and was surprised how little I remembered. I have no such delusions this time, I’ve played it one and a half times in the past, but barely remember anything. I remember Brad being one of my favorite characters, not just in the game but in general, and I’m looking forward to rediscovering why.
I wasn’t fan of the first Skell you get, but when you unlock the powerful one and get some good weapons, got that OP feel that I always like in RPGs.
Hehe, and here I am, playing the MMO alone. Good luck with the hunt!
