It has been every week of full-on Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and that is set to proceed this weekend. At 40 hours, I am a bit of methods into chapter 4, and I am not bored one bit. The sidequests are sensible, the fight has nearly totally opened up at this level, the characters and the story are implausible, and the music is so good. Each time I begin up a Chain Assault, I wish to leap out of my seat and cheer due to this music.
So, Xenoblade 3 is phenomenal and just about unimaginable to place down, sure, however I believe I am going to additionally problem my accomplice at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The brand new programs are fairly good, so I am excited to play them on-line with him (and beat him, in fact).

So you recognize I stated final week that I wouldn’t be getting Xenoblade Chronicles 3 within the foreseeable future? Properly, I lied. It’s not my fault although! I had such a busy week and I truly kinda forgot that it was my birthday, so I used a little bit of birthday cash and downloaded Xenoblade a few days in the past. I’m not far into it, however I’ve simply crushed my first Elite Monster, so I suppose you may say I’m a little bit of an knowledgeable at this level. I’m completely loving it thus far, although; the extra mature tone of the narrative is a putting distinction to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which I didn’t actually get on with.
Elsewhere, Cyberpunk 2077 has lastly gotten its hooks into me. I purchased it again on launch day for the Xbox, however it clearly wasn’t prepared for prime time but, so obtained a full refund by Microsoft. Now that it’s been up to date for current-gen programs, I purchased it once more (at a reduced worth, I would add), and wow, it’s a very completely different expertise! I believe it’s such a disgrace CDPR didn’t give itself sufficient time to get the sport in the suitable state for launch, as a result of it may have been such a sport changer. As it’s, it’s an unbelievable sport that kinda looks like a little bit of an underdog now.
