This week, I’ve just been playing Infinity Nikki.

I think it’s the perfect game. It has everything—fishing, bug catching, combat, animal grooming, bike riding, and photography. Okay, maybe not everything, but there’s definitely a lot to do. In this game, almost everyone’s problems can be solved with fashion. Someone’s sad? Just be pretty at them. Someone’s getting bullied? Scare them away with superior style. The world’s ending? Be fancy.

And lastly. The game is just really pretty

This week I’ve actually played some games.

I played the demo for Heroes of Hammerwatch II. It was fine. I don’t know if it was just the demo, but there was almost no tutorial or guide, so there was about an hour of playing where I didn’t know what I was doing at all. Other than that, it was just fine.

Most of my time this week has been spent on a newly released game that is outside of my normal genre. Infinity Nikki. It’s a hard game to explain; it has a lot of modern Nintendo elements, some Super Mario Odyssey, a bit of Breath of the Wild, and a tiny bit of Pokémon vibes, all wrapped up in a game about dresses and fashion. Every thing you do is related to your outfit, your double jump has its own outfit, and so does your bug net.

And an outfit for combat.

A lot of the game consists of making outfits and finding clothing, as well as materials for your outfits. Then you have your ability outfits. You can’t change your ability outfits the same as your regular outfits. You can get alternate ones, but can’t really customize (at least as far as I know).

There’s also parkour.

Since I’m not the best at explaining games, I’ll just say: if you played Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, and got excited when you found a new piece of armor, you’ll probably like this game.

Anyway, what’s everyone else doing this week?
