What I'm Playing: January/February 2021
The newest addition to my (already too large) limited edition DS family - one of the only gaming purchases I’ve made in months!
It’s been such a long time since I’ve written or even regularly posted about video games! I took a bit of an unplanned hiatus during the last half of 2020, sort of just overwhelmed with things happening in my personal life. I miss gaming, and I miss sharing my thoughts about gaming on this blog that no one reads 😂
I’ve been both working on my backlog and revisiting some old favorites the past month, and will continue to do so throughout February. I do plan on picking up a PS5 eventually, so I have been trying to avoid purchasing new games, especially since I still have many to get through. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Pokémon Platinum: This is one of my favorite games in the series, and with rumors flying about a possible Gen IV remake, I wanted to revisit Sinnoh again on the original hardware. Right now I’ve earned 2 badges and am training for the third gym battle.
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: I decided I’d like to play through the KH series in chronological order, since I haven’t played the majority of the games. I picked up a couple of the remastered game bundles and am playing through BBS for the first time. I was surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed this! I’m nearly finished with my final runthrough of the game with Aqua, on Proud Mode.
Legend of Zelda Minish Cap: Way back in Summer 2019, I decided to also play through all of the Legend of Zelda games in chronological order. I finished up and reviewed Skyward Sword, started Minish Cap on my Wii U Virtual Console, and promptly forgot to ever play it. I restarted and am focused on finishing this up this month - it’s not a terribly long game so I need to just get through it. It’s cute and the shrinking mechanic is fun but for some reason it’s just not holding my attention!
