It's pretty good so far, though I haven't made much progress in it. Genshin Impact, Arknights and Azur Lane are kind of preventing me from playing much else right now.
Genshin Impact (PS4)
We have a pretty big event going on right now for the lunar new year, so I've been busy doing that. There's a tower defense mini-game that is interesting, and lots of world quests to do to gain some Primogems. They're also giving out 10 of the items used for Limited Summons, so that's a pretty nice bonus to get. A free 10-roll will help when Hu Tao, the next character I want, releases probably in March. Although there's a Keqing banner coming up next in a day or two, and she's one of the starting 5* characters in the game, and happens to be the one I've wanted the most since day 1, but has eluded me. Even during my massive $800 splash to chase a maxed out Ganyu, I didn't get her. So the temptation to pull on her banner is going to be massive, but I just need to remind myself that I will eventually get her. Better to save currency for the characters that are actually limited.
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox (PS4)
As I mentioned, the going is slow here. Been too busy with my trio of gacha games and haven't focused much on this. I am enjoying it so far though. Decided to spend some time in the first chapter doing some optional grinding, so that when Chapter 2 starts I can buy some Strength Potions to boost up one of my party member's attack a bunch and make them as OP as possible (the catgirl being my character of choice, of course).
Cosmic Star Heroine (Vita)
Finally decide to dust off the ol' Vita and start playing it again. Got lots of games to play on it, which is a lot of platinum trophies just sitting there waiting to be had. So far I'm really enjoying the game and the things I heard about it have been true for the most part. The fun part about this is that the PS4 version, which I also have from Limited Run Games, has a separate trophy list. So once I'm done with the Vita version, I can pop in the PS4 version and speedrun it for an easy double-dip platinum.
Arknights (Android)
We're currently in our third Contingency Contract event. The permanent map for this one turned out to be extremely easy and I was able to get everything done with that pretty fast. Just been doing the daily rotation maps for the event now. Got the shop cleared of all of the limited items. Only two more days left of the event, so it's almost done. They haven't given any word as to what's coming next though, so it seems like we might have a couple weeks of downtime, which will be pretty boring, but oh well. More time to get all the materials I need for Surtr, the next character I want really badly, so that I can max her out the moment I get her. I'm hoping she'll be what we get next, because I do believe she released shortly after CC#2 in the Chinese version of the game, and CC#2 is what we're currently on. If nothing else, I guess I'll have extra time to work on the skills of some of my other Operators, or maybe even build up a couple of 4* characters I've put off.
Azur Lane (Android)
No big events going on here right now. We did have some mini-game event and such going on for the Lunar New Year, and had the addition of a couple of very cute Chinese sisters into the game. Hoping we get a new major event soon, 'cause I want something good to grind on since they added an auto-clear mode for farming (one of the features I wanted the most for the past couple years). In the mean time, I'm just grinding away in Operation Siren.
