Hoping to use Bluesky to finally air all my gaming opinions so my friends don't have to bear the brunt of them. I play games from each of the 3 console manufacturers and many third party and indie titles too. I'll try to make a thread of my main interests if that's a thing on Bluesky...
With just about 4 weeks to go until Metroid Prime 4 releases I am giving up on a Switch/ Switch 2 release for Prime 2+3...
So instead I had to bust out the Wiimote and Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii!!

Just tried out Sands of Hope and really dug it! It's a very chill little puzzler where you manipulate blocks to solve puzzles with a gorgeous aesthetic! Seems nice and open with loads of optional sections too!
Thanks to @knoebel.bsky.social and @frankiegamedev.bsky.social for the giveaway!!

I finally achieved full 100% completion in Super Mario Odyssey!!
Sometimes going for 100% can make me like a game less (looking at you 3D World!) but Odyssey's definitely just made me appreciate the game even more!
Best Mario game ever!!
Now bring on Donkey Kong Bananza!

My first Platinum trophy was for God of War HD. Last thing I had to do was one of the trials of the gods where you're trying to raise a platform by killing enemies quickly enough and found it insanely difficult!
Finally got it one Christmas Eve!!
First 100% achievements was for Assassin's Creed 2!

Now feels like a good time to recommend buying yourself a SteamWorld game! They're all pretty cheap, especially when on sale, really well made, well designed and super fun! Pick your poison between DIg (metroidvania), Heist (turn based strategy), Quest (deck-builder RPG) or Build (town builder)!
