Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, currently just doing the NG+ stuff to get to Falcor so I can open up the DLC, but god damn this game is so good.

Very tempted to get a PS4 with the GOTY edition Bloodborne.

I finished New Super Mario Bros. 2 completely.  As in got the 3 big coins in every level including all the ones in the three "hidden" worlds.  So that's out of the 3DS for good and a few days ago I started on Mario & Luigi 4 (it's not actually called that, it's called Dream something or other).  I'm about three hours into it so far.  Very mediocre, the worst one in the series yet by some margin.  Story is shit and the gameplay is same ole same ole.  Tempted to cancel my pre-order for the new one.  Or maybe the odd numbered iterations in the series will continue to be good (though 2 is not that bad either).  Guess I will try to at least finish it before I move on to something else to justify paying forty euros for this (or however much new 3DS games cost)

After finishing Stealth Inc. 2 I dabbled in and out of a few games but I haven't really stuck with any of them yet.  But a few of those at least are ones I will definitely return to.

FAST racing neo.  I beat the four cups in the slowest of the three divisions (come to think of it, this game should count as beaten).  I love it and look forward to playing more of it here and there.

Legend of Kay.  It's a great game despite the mega cringe-worthy dialogue and voice acting.  It's like a PS2 era action-platformer but more Zelda like.  This may well be the game I next play to completion.

The Swapper.  This is really awesome and it's what I've been playing for the last couple of days.  It has atmosphere you can cut with a knife and gives you a kind of feeling of existential isolation in space worthy of Tarkovsky's Solaris (let alone Dead Space).  It's one of those games which are built on one single concept but it is such a good one that they can make a whole game of it without making it feel tired.

Geez, Solaris is going to be a massive disappointment when I finally watch it...

The Swapper is cool, though.

Have fun with the gravity swapping

Yes, I had to firgure those things early on as there was one bit where I had to fall down a big height that's when I figured how to slow time, make a clone, become them and repeat for as long as necessary.  I like that there is no handholding.  I just hope the puzzles don't get too esoteric.

Nothing could be more existentially isolating than George Clooney man arse.

Towers when you gonna be free to Hell Divers, our hours require one of us to be willing to be a night owl, so I can actually do that tonighteru.

Have barely had the opportunity to play anything recently, but at what time tonight would your night owling take place?

Just reached this part now.  I have about 40 orbs or so.  I'm starting to think this game is a little too esoteric for me.  And it is making me depressed in the same way Solaris and Dead Space make me depressed.  Not what I should be playing before I go back to work tomorrow.

edit: May not be too bad after all.  Played a bit more and I'm now close to 100 orbs.  It seems each puzzle gives you many more after a certain point.  Who knows, I may finish this after all.

Right at the end of the game I was missing 9 orbs. I collected the only orb left on the map and it gave me 9.

So yeah, I learned that right at the end. One collected orb = much more than 1 orb

This weekend I didn't play anything for too long.  I started Shovel Knight and played four or five levels.  It's good but I guess all the hype had me expecting something phenomenal and it isn't all that.  Still a fun indie game, if taken for what it is (and not what it isn't) I suppose.

This weekend I mostly played Teslagrad which was a very fun experience even if it was a bit on the short side.  After finishing it I tried Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash.  I am a big fan of Mario Tennis in general but this iteration just has nothing to do.  No championship, no single player campaign of any sort.  The fundamentals are there, and it plays a decent game of tennis, but unless you have friends for local multiplayer you will just have nothing to do.  Game is clearly unfinished and I just don't see this getting fleshed out via DLC the Splatoon was.  Which is a shame.

This morning I started Guacamelee Super Turbo.  I finished the vanilla version of the game on PS3 but it is so good that I don't mind playing it again to see the extra challenges in this version, and just in order to enjoy it.
