Had a pretty busy week, didn't really play much.

Finished Dust: An Elysian Tale, it was somewhere around 60% at the end. The game isn't great, at least from today's standard, but it's still not a bad game.

Also, while it has metroidvania elements, you don't really need to go back for anything, other than collectibles. So, not a metroidvania, as far as I am concerned. On plus side, not much backtracking!

Started Batman: Arkham Knight, it has been on my backlog for a long time, played it for an hour or so, but couldn't get into it, so dropped it.

Biggest issue I believe is that I was in a mood for a beat 'em up-ish game, and I remembered Batman's combat from Arkham Asylum and City, but I guess I had forgotten that otherwise it's a pretty slow game. You have to hide, and slowly and methodically take down enemies, then all the detective parts with problem solving.

Another issue was the Batmobile, I couldn't get hang of it. In one of the starting mission you have to get it on some rooftop to power up something, my car fell down 4-5 times. It was so frustrating. Not to mention the Riddler challenge.

Didn't get to play Trails in the Sky: SC or Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout this week. I wasn't expecting it, but had a slight hope to finish them before Mario + Luigi Brothership release, but that doesn't seem even a remote possibility now. Which means I won't be getting Mario + Luigi on launch.

That's all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing

The huge list of echoes that you have to scroll through in a single line looking for the right one is pretty annoying. It was same kind of problem when you wanted to attach something to an arrow in TotK.
