It certainly looks that way. I look forward to playing it later this year.

Re: What are you playing?
I'm going to be grabbing The Adventures of Elliot tomorrow. The reviews are very positive thus far. And on the longer side of top-down Zelda-like games - 25 to 30 hours.

I’m intrigued by this and Mina the Hollower. After I finish 007, which will be soon, going to look into them.CopperTom wrote: Wed June 17, 2026 2:10 pm I'm going to be grabbing The Adventures of Elliot tomorrow.

I'm very interested in Mina too. I'm just waiting for the physical release. How are you liking 007?scrub12 wrote: Wed June 17, 2026 3:25 pmI’m intrigued by this and Mina the Hollower.

My game of the year so far, but I’m a Bond sicko. Nearing the end. Hope they’re allowed to make a sequel.CopperTom wrote: Wed June 17, 2026 4:31 pmI'm very interested in Mina too.

Mina the Hollower is so great. It's full of gameplay modifiers that can suit any playstyle. Highly recommend.

The difficulty in Mina is the only thing holding me back so far. I've heard it's tough and I think I'm past wanting to play games that are too tough.

You can adjust the difficulty in a variety of ways with menu options and in-game trinkets. The default game is difficult but not over the top IMO.

Finished 007 last night. Loved it. Great action game and a great Bond story. IO did great and I need a sequel.

Ended up snagging this. About 2 hours in and enjoying it. Definitely some tough moments so far but nothing that couldn't be overcome through trial and error.Monkey_Driven wrote: Wed June 17, 2026 10:34 pmscrub12 wrote: Wed June 17, 2026 9:36 pm The difficulty in Mina is the only thing holding me back so far.

Re: What are you playing?
I wrapped up Elliot's Adventure: The Millenium Tales. I 99%'d this - the only thing I didn't complete was the Boss Rush trial. I collected all shards, cats, manuscripts, chests, and fairy upgrades and i completed all quests. I got the True Ending. A very competent top-down Zelda-like. It took me about 33 hours on hard. My only complaint is the world felt too similar between ages so it felt like you were repeating sections. I would recommend to anyone needing a Zelda fix.

I'm still working my way through Mina the Hollower. Also started a replay for God of War Ragnarök.

So did I! Just got to Vanaheim. Still a top notch game but God I hate playing as Atreus--that hasn't aged well at all.

Re: What are you playing?
Divinity Original Sin 2. Played for about an hour today, and while it looks great, its controls are a bit stiffer than the original and so far there aren’t enough differences to make it feel like a new game vs just a re-skin. But will obviously keep going.

Re: What are you playing?
I'm in the final stretch of BOTW, just kind of tackling remaining shrines before I take on Ganon.
I started Disco Elysium last night and love it. Don't totally understand the health/scoring mechanic yet, it's like an RPG + casino mechanics in a mental health wrapper.
The T2 game is surprisingly challenging (or maybe I'm just old and suck at these types of games now).
My kid and I play Mario Party Jamboree with her friends and it's some of the most fun I've ever had gaming.
The new Castlevania is my most anticipated upcoming game.

Re: What are you playing?
Have you done any side quests, or armor upgrades? Wait until you beat Ganon, then it shows you the percentage of the game you completed, and it will be at like 24%. I'm trying to 100% it now but that includes all 900 koroks, which has turned out to be extremely maddening.tragabigzanda wrote: Tue July 21, 2026 4:20 pm I'm in the final stretch of BOTW, just kind of tackling remaining shrines before I take on Ganon.

I do all the shrine side quests. Any non-shrine quests I mostly skip unless I'm tying to acquire armor or do armor upgrades (like all the ones you have to do to get the lightning resistance helmet.E.H.

900 korok seeds?! Geez. I'd estimate I've got like 200? But interesting to know I can keep playing after I beat Ganon.

Re: What are you playing?
The % is map percentage, not game percentage. 900 Korok map icons really skews the percentage.tragabigzanda wrote: Tue July 21, 2026 8:09 pmI do all the shrine side quests.
