Got pretty close to the finishing Astral Chain, just 2 levels remaining. Nothing new to add though.

Finished Nier Replicant , well, at least got the first ending, Ending A. Now playing for Ending B, stopped at the front of last dungeon, so should finish this over the weekend. Then comes Ending C, Ending D and Ending E.

Generally I don't playthrough the game again and again, but I am interested in seeing how they unfold the story, and since I am only doing the main quest in this playthrough it was pretty quick. There are still many questions, but the second playthrough is explaining a few things (and making us feel bad about some things).

So, what about all you? What have you been playing?

Brothership has been going smoothly. The islands all seem to be around the same size though, I've been hoping to find something chunkier every now and then. As of now, the gameplay loop is a little too small. But I'd like to give a huge shoutout to side quests straight up telling which ones will expire if you progress the main story! More games need to do that!

I misunderstood something about the main quests in Lightning Returns and I suddenly found myself done with them earlier than expected. I'm basically ready for the finale on Day 13, so now I'm spending the remaining 6 days exterminating all monsters in the world. I started with the two strongest ones before they grow even stronger. I don't think I'll beat the 11 Million HP superboss though. I'll try, but I found out that he can straight up escape from combat when he's under 25% health, rendering the whole fight meaningless and that seems too frustrating.

Yeah, it's annoying when you miss out on a quest without knowing about it, so this sounds good.

Lightning Returns sounds like such a grind, but JRPGs often have that, bosses with tons of health, though them escaping when at 25% health sounds super annoying. Good luck!
