Hey y'all! What have you been playing this week? I played a bunch of the recent Talos principle remake. It was cool! The story hits differently with the way the world is with AI but I still thought it was enjoyable. Now I'm starting up the sequel!

I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles X.

The combat is pretty fun. It's a bit more complex than the other two Xenoblade games I played (1 and 2), as there are more support skills you can use and overdrive requires a bit of planning. Enemies also have breakable parts, which add a bit of decision making during combat, although it does still feel a bit passive as there aren't many enemy mechanics to interact with.

Very minor progression spoilerI have unlocked the Skell after ~30 hours and it was pretty underwhelming. Grounded combat feels more fun and it's pretty disappointing that you can't customize much of the mech's aesthetics apart from color (and I'm not a huge fan of the designs).

The main story is fine and the sidequests are pretty good. They are very short, but they have interesting stories. The "affinity" quests feel like they are the focus of the game instead of the main story.
