October Check In

The Disco Zoo Office (End game)


There wasn't a lot of focused gaming in October.  The only game I played consistently was Disco Zoo on my phone.  I had 'finished' it previously but, as part of the 10 year anniversary, they came out with two new areas which meant 14 new animals and the need to do two more rewinds to see them all.  At this point, I've done the two rewinds and am primarily working on the space coins so I can get the space animals while alternating in the last of the non-space animals I need.  I've gotten to the point where I'm building up enough money I'm never going to spend it all but that's fine, it's one less thing to worry about.  If you had played Disco Zoo before, it's a great excuse to play it again.

I started playing God of War again on my Playstation after finishing Plague Tale Innocence.  I was actually surprised that starting back from where I left off more than a year ago wasn't an issue but it didn't stick.  I may still go back to it again because it is fun and I know it's a great game but we'll have to see whether I can ever focus on it.  I'm ok with that as well.  The only other thing I've done is play a few free games to get the Playstation Stars.  I played Doki Doki Literature Club a lot longer than I expected to and I'm interested to see at least some of the twists I know are coming but, again, no promises.

I was sick for a few days and needed something I could play in bed and decided to buy Octopath Traveller II on sale for the Switch.  I had a great time while I was sick but it is a long game and haven't had focus now that I'm well.  I am hoping I'll get back to it but I'm not sure I'll be able to focus enough to finish it without a longer time, possibly during my Christmas vacation.

For November, I'm thinking I'll resubscribe to World of Warcraft for the 20th anniversary event without buying the expansion.  I can use it to see some of the content and I heard they've added some things to make leveling alts faster so it could be a good way to use the Dragonflight content to level them to 70 so they'll be ready for The War Within when it inevitably goes on sale.  That's another possible item for my Christmas break.  I'm also interested in the new Dragon Age game.  In September I briefly played Origins on my laptop but I wasn't able to stick with it.

If anyone is still reading, I hope all is well in your real and gaming life.  I'm hoping these monthly posts will help me remember what I've been doing gaming-wise if I ever want to look back at it.
