Rolled credits earlier today. Really liked the game, as a whole; a couple of sections dragged and the level design quality was more variable between layers than I'd expected (though there was also just so much variety it's hard to be mad about it), but smashing the place up as a big monkey never got old.

Play

It's a big Switch 2 month for me.

Donkey Kong Bananza, obviously; it's every bit as fun as everyone says and constantly surprising in different ways.

I had a go at the demo for the worst-titled game of the year, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales which was pretty good but I found some of the controls and menus clunkier than I'd like in an action RPG.

Want

Picked up Promise Mascot Agency in the sale, but so far have only made it as far as where the demo started. Looking forward to getting some time with it properly.

Bin

I've been feeling bone tired for the last few weeks, no matter how much sleep I get or at what time.

I expect I'll be getting Nintendo online before long.

I've got space in our family account if you want in.

Last couple of bosses have really tested my patience; it feels almost like they're designed for co-op rather than single-player, with the need for hitting them from a distance.

Spoiler - click to showThe second stage of the bat thing in the Tempest Layer is a real bastard; I'm using the Elephant Bananza to suck up the lava he drops, but the way the voxels are deformed often means there's a crumb left on the floor that kills me when I stand on it.

Reached a new layer last night that had me grinning like a maniac, right as I'd started to think I'd seen everything the game had to offer mechanically.

I feel like I'm moving through the layers quicker than I'd like, but I also want to finish the story; I know that spending too much time rinsing every layer would burn me out. I can always go back post-game.
