New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and I’m loving it. People might have been tired of the presentation but Nintendo fans ought tot look beyond that - it has great level design, difficulty, secrets and a super tough challenge mode that’ll keep me busy for a while.

Super Mario Odyssey, wrapping up the moons 4 years after finishing. Not sure if that’s for me, but giving it a chance.

Final Fantasy XVI. Just started, liking it so far.

I love platforming / secret finding games like this and Astro Bot’s Playroom was a lot of fun. Definitely in for more of that!

(But really I want another Sackboy, it’s perfect for multiplayer)

Lots, mostly due to a gaming weekend with a friend! Mainly;

• Super Mario Wonder (Switch). Finished it way back but was stuck on the completion road. Got all but one of the medals now!

• Okami (PS3, 4). Gifted it to that friend after finishing it after a 10 year hiatus. What a gem! We played a bit more of it together.

• Final Fantasy XII (Switch). Just a few hours in, not sure what to think of it yet. I’m not a big RPG fan, she is. I certainly like the setting and style.

• Train Valley 1 and 2 (Linux). Completed the first. It was good but also addictive in a bad way to me.
