So I saw on the Nintendo Switch eShop channel that there's a new Picross S game and it has a theme, too. The theme is characters from a famous Japanese manga artist(s) and some you might've heard of, like Doraemon. I probably won't be getting the game myself, because while Doraemon is cool, it's not cool enough to buy a game of for me. I wonder if the characters from Q-Taro are in the Picross game, too? The guy who created Pac-Man cited the Q-Taro characters as inspiration to how he created the Pac-Man ghosts.

Games Beaten
-Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (PS5)
There is a lot to like about Reverie Under the Moonlight. The pixel art is beautiful and very expressive and establishes the bleak gothic atmosphere of the game well (the music supports that atmosphere even if it is forgettable). The combat is fluid and responsive and you find several meaningful upgrades during the adventure. Save points are the only spots of interest the map shows you but it is a relatively small map. The game is not so much difficult as it is unforgiving. You must pay attention! I wish the story coalesced better. Several interesting characters feel completely wasted. But overall a good game and not long.
Games Bought
Paying for games was not a thing for me in March. The only pick ups I made were the PS+ games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection was an ironic inclusion since I had just played the Game Boy TMNT III game on my Switch version of the collection about a month earlier. Sonic Colors Ultimate is the HD remaster of my favorite Sonic game but I never bought it because I have already played it and still have it on the Wii. Well, maybe I'll go back to it now. Rounding out the line up is Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Considering its tumultuous development, it ought to be a terrible game but it turned out to be a perfectly serviceable fantasy RPG. The fact that it is on PS+ so soon after its release no doubt speaks to its struggle to find an audience, and that's too bad. My wife is excited to play it though. She loves the Dragon Age games.
Games Being Played
-Cat Quest III (Switch)
I have been sporadically playing this with my ten-year-old. I have thoughts on it but I'll save those for next month.
-Undertale (Vita)
This game is so beloved by the internet and I...am bored. At this point I am just trying to finish it to finish it.
-Picross S Namco Legendary Edition (Switch)
Progress continues on this mountain of puzzles!
-Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak (Switch)
We are into Master Rank now.
-Destiny 2 (PS5)
We played through the new dungeon recently. That was pretty cool.
