Publisher Nintendo and Koei Tecmo developer AAA Games Studio will release a free update for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on November 27, the companies announced.

The announcement reads: “Take on fearsome enemies to earn additional in-game rewards including two new weapons, a new Sync Strike for Zelda and Calamo, and more.”

Further information about the update was not announced.

Started the next route in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which is the second / hidden route in Black Eagle route. Already have a separate save at the fork point, so continued with that.

It's interesting to see the different point of view of things, and now that I have some experience with game mechanics I am trying out different classes for some of the characters. The fork point is far enough in the game that drastic changes won't be possible, but still, some changes can be done, and it's fun exploring that.

Started Mutant Mudd Collection on Switch, for the times when Age of Calamity becomes too repetitive and want to play something else.

It's a 2D platformer which was originally released on 3DS and the game is tough! You have to complete each level at least twice, one is the main path, and one is the alternate, more difficult path. I am having trouble enough with normal path so not sure if I'll be able to handle the difficult paths.

The difficultly is still within my playable range, even though I die a ton at certain places. Let's see how long I stick with it.

Played a bit of Hyrle Warriors: Age of Calamity and am having trouble with some of the Timed missions, may have to level up some more, will try them again later.

Didn't play much Cozy Grove this week, will get back to slowly chipping away at it from next week.

I haven't started anything on PlayStation cause I wanted to start Dark Souls Remastered and was waiting for a sale (as per dekudeals it regularly does go to sale).

And as it happens, it just went on sale! So just bought the game and have downloaded it. Will probably be playing it over the weekend. Time to see if I can finish it or it will be another game that I'll be dropping halfway through 😀

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

[S]ince launch back in June, we've seen reports of players having issues with wired internet connections. Some point to the Realtek port as the culprit, others think it's a specific firmware or software glitch, or a USB-C-related handshake issue where something periodically goes awry. But whatever the reason, there seems to be a group for whom Switch 2's Ethernet port just isn't functioning correctly.

So not "on purpose" but I bet they're not sad if it happens "accidentally."

Finished Fire Emblem: Three Houses 's DLC story !

I didn't like the story much, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't up to the main game standard, though from my experience, DLC stories are generally like that. Some of the battles also felt needlessly long, but that could just be me.

This unlocks all DLC characters (4 in total) and their classes (again, 4) in main game, though it requires special seal for certification, haven't looked up where to get that from yet.

Finsihed Judgment!

Fun game! The story was pretty interesting, and the gameplay elements and story were different enough from Yakuza games to stand on their own two feet.

The map felts small, not sure why that is, possibly cause there were much less side activities, but I could be wrong about that. Another issue could be we haven't been limited to Kamurocho for whole game since Yakuza 2, IIRC. Not saying this a bad thing, just something I noticed.

My biggest issue with the game is side stories. Pretty much all of them end up with you either following someone, or chasing someone, if not both. Which gets repetitive very quickly. Another issue is that most of the side stories themselves repeat. Many of the side stories have 3 parts. You do a side story, the later you get another side story which is repeat of that one, then later you get another which is a repeat but you get the conclusion.

When nearing the end, after Chapter 10-11, I stopped doing the side stories and just focused on the main story.

Started Cozy Grove. It's a cozy game, and is often mentioned as something like Animal Crossing, though it feels very different.

You go to island to help ghosts move on, except there are a lot more ghosts than originally expected.

The game works in real time (though you can make it perpetual day in setting), and you can only do certain amount of things in a day. I haven't checked the time but I don't think it takes more than 15-30 mins a day. Apparently it takes more than 2 months of daily playing to finish the main story.

Mainly started it cause I won't have to dedicate much time to it, and can just play it slowly at side.

Playing this on Switch 2, cause there are some performance issues on Switch 1, specially as the game progresses.

Also played a bit of Hyrle Warriors: Age of Calamity, but not much, so nothing to say about this.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
