If you’re a regular reader of this column, then you know what I’ve been building up to for the past few weeks — Xenoblade-Chroniken 3. I will be glued to my Switch for the foreseeable future with this one, so get used to seeing its name in my entries for a while! I utterly adore this series, so this entry is probably my most anticipated game of the year, and those stellar reviews have raised my expectations exponentially.

If things get a bit much, I’ll take a break and sneak in some more Klonoa Phantasy Reverie-Reihe. I’m trying to 100% every level in both games at the moment, which is much tougher than it sounds. Especially those bonus levels!

I’m still playing Rune Factory 4 und hohle Ritter, both of which go on forEVER — but I’ve been enjoying playing Monsterzug when I’m looking for something a little more chill. Ja, a game about wrestling back control of hell from some very angry angels is “more chill” than a game about farming. What has the world come to, etc.

I apologise to all Xenoblade Chronicles fans, but I won’t be playing the third entry this weekend, nor do I have any inclination to purchase the game in the near future; I simply don’t have the time for such a huge undertaking. Ich werde, jedoch, be continuing my playthrough of Ocarina of Time 3D. I’m inside Jabu-Jabu’s belly at the moment, so you know when I said I’d be taking my time, I really meant it!

Anderswo, I’m on a bit of a Castlevania binge after recently rewatching the Netflix series. I’m playing through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on the Series X, and I’m dipping in and out of Castlevania: Arie der Trauer via the Vorababholung. I don’t intend to stop with those two, entweder; the great thing about Castlevania games is that they’re not overwhelmingly lengthy, which at this point in my life is extremely welcome!

This weekend I will nicht be playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Easy now – extinguish your burning torches and put down your pitchforks! I am going on holiday and simply won’t have the time to give the game the care and attention that it deserves. But my time will come, keine Angst!

Stattdessen, I will be continuing to work my way through Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! – which I have completely geliebt so far – as I draw into the final chapter of the game. I also hope to squeeze in a bit of Lego Marvel Superhelden 2 as Feige’s San Diego Comic-Con announcements have got me back on the grind to get the game to 100%.

It is that time of the year when I disappear off the Internet for a few months, usually for these so-called “vacations”. While this year things will be slightly different, I will certainly remain offline for a while. What better companion in this long and lonely journey than Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a game that our very own PJ swears has that GOTY stamp all over it.

Looking back at the whole saga released thus far, it stands out that each entry coincides with different periods of my life, periods I look back on fondly. Examples: die original 2011 Wii European release came out just as I moved out of my parent’s basement and into my current man-cave (aka The Fortress of Shiurytude™) or the amazing live streaming revisit of the 2020 Switch remaster. As I sit at yet another crossroads in my life, I am glad to have the ultimate escapism in the form of another luxurious adventure of epic proportions. I hope to see you all again at the end of the road. Stay retro!
