Last Sunday... Der Gaming

Thanks to the Xbox app I can remember what I played several days before. 

Farm Together: I believe I got to about half of my needed 32k diamonds for my next land unlock before stopping for the day. 

Gnomes Garden: A New Home: I replayed several missions in the first of three sections to get 3 stars. I got to 2 stars in them but 3 seemed difficult until I stumbled across a better strategy while going for other achievements. The other achievements were for getting 50 resources for each type and 100 in one type on a single map. In doing this I had no time limit and so just upgraded every building all the way and slammed the resources. I thought this would take time but it surprisingly didn't and I discovered the solution to getting 3 stars on maps, just upgrade all buildings as fast as you can. I will try this next time as I decided to stop for the day. 

Pinball FX3: I played the Arabian Nights table across various modes. I keep fooling with the camera view to get the angle I like the best. I'm also trappin' like a fool, one ball, two balls, even three balls at once during multiball. That's a lot of trapped balls. 

Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2: My friend Mark and I played this co-op hoping for a campaign co-op. No dice but we played some defend-the-fort mode once and endlessly killed enemies in the hub world for a while. I just wish we could do missions co-op. There are missions you can complete in multiplayer modes, which is cool, but campaign is where I like it best. We stopped after a while. Progress has no meaning in multiplayer. You can save that as a saying. 

Halo 5 Guardians: I played slayer multiplayer mode for a while for a Game Pass quest. I always think this will be impossible for me but it wasn't. After two rounds I was getting good and almost wanted to keep playing after the Game Pass rewards dropped. The graphics are so good and the gameplay so tight and fast. It was fun. But, there's only so much "tag" I can play at one time. 

Lego Batman: Mark and I both went after lots of achievements while hunting down every stud and minikit on the first few levels. Achievements not tied to minikits or studs were stuff like using Bane to break Batman's back, killing Catwoman 9 times, and breaking all the lamposts in level 1 which never seems to unlock for me even though I did it probably 5 different times. Fun times. I hope to 100% the game. 

That's a Sunday. I can't wait for the next gaming day.

I can't believe there are three of those gnomes games. I had never heard of it before you mentioned it.

There is a whole class of games I see in the Xbox store that isn't listed on the wiki pages I look to for new releases. 8floor games makes Gnomes Garden and a whole slew of similar casual fare. I've seen some other developers there too who make loads of point-and-click style adventure games.
