My goals for this weekend:
Non-gaming: Picking up some books from the library to read. Lawn mower seasonal maintenance that I've put off for two months.
Have fun y'all.
I really want to play some more God of War Ragnorok though. First bit seemed really good.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (3rd replay with a 3rd house on the Switch)
Going to start Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch 2! 😁
I've made a few attempts to play through in the past but I've never progressed passed Tier 4. Trying again with renewed determination, I will automate as much as possible this time.
StarRupture is also looking very tempting too 🤔
Non-gaming: Reading some books, Sherlock Holmes mostly..
"I ate a kiwi once.
But everyone at the zoo was looking at me weird"
(Please don't be to kiwi-tical of my attempt at humor!)
Only one of the two zoos keeps kiwis, but they are kept behind the scenes, so I haven't seen the bird in person.
I bought an OLED monitor, and it has great HDR so I've been messing around with that in Hyprland and it's been amazing
Gigabyte MO27Q28G to be exact
Got stuck in traffic hell in cities skylines 2 too 😖
Gonna go and play the Max Payne series eventually too
Spoiler, click me
Didn't have time to play anything else this weekend :D
The wife was replaying the original Frostpunk.
Regarding the 2D/3D parts, without spoiling too much, they are distinctly separate parts of the game that you move between at given moments. The 2D parts are mostly classic platforming while the 3D is more spacial navigation puzzles. The shift between them is a narrative marker letting you know where you are in the story.
All in all I had a really good time with the game, although a couple of puzzles and platforming sections did frustrate me a bit. It could be argued that the game didn't really need to be all that much game, since some of its best moments come from characters just walking in a straight line and having conversations about its core themes. But I'm also not sure I'd have bothered to sit down and watch a movie or short film telling the same story.
