Currently, I can’t get enough of Roller Coaster Tycoon, specifically the classic version on Apple Arcade. It’s strange to find myself revisiting a game that feels so familiar, having first played it on mobile as a child. For quite some time now, mobile tycoon games, such as those by Kairosoft, have served as a welcome respite from the intense RPGs and strategy games I’ve been immersed in on console and PC.

Once more, it’s not surprising for longtime readers that I find myself immersed in the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket once again. A fresh pack has arrived, leaving me juggling the task of wrapping up the remaining cards from previous expansions (I’m still missing Pachirisu EX from Space-Time and Wugtrio EX from Shining Revelry). At the same time, I’m embarking on the quest to complete the new deck collection.

Fortunately, the Rayquaza event has proven to be quite beneficial, as the developers have been exceptionally generous with Pack Hourglass rewards along with the new expansion. Consequently, I’ve managed to open a set of ten packs not once, but three times already, thanks to both the single-player challenges and the Celestial Guardians events.

During this recent UK heatwave, my computer’s been having a tough time, but once it cools off, I plan to delve back into one of my old saves in The Sims 4. I’ve recently constructed an expansive, four-story home in Nordhaven with charming balconies (though, admittedly, they didn’t take me too long to figure out). I can’t wait for my Sims to move into their new abode! Next up, I’m keen on attempting to establish a profitable business for them.

Over the next few days, my primary activity will be enjoying Marvel Snap on my iPhone. Meanwhile, I’ve been diving into Star Wars Outlaws on my PlayStation 5, but unfortunately, it won’t be joining me on my trip to the Dubai GameExpo Summit due to exceeding the carry-on weight limit restrictions.

The main gameplay of Marvel Snap is fantastic and I can’t get enough of its rapid, card-driven PvP battles. With only four days left in the What If…? season (a purchase I made because I’m such a fan of Marvel), I haven’t found Captain Carter as useful as I thought I would. The season hasn’t been particularly beneficial for my preferred deck tactics – a “Move” style with Kingpin and Scream, and a “Surfer Control” or 3-Cost Flood strategy using Silver Surfer. However, these strategies are still incredibly enjoyable, so I plan to make some minor adjustments in a final attempt to gain more points before the end.

From April 17th up until the recent past, I’ve been deeply engrossed in the High Voltage game version. It’s been one of my top favorites, so not having it anymore will leave me feeling quite empty.

This week’s major change in the game involves introducing Snap Packs and Token Packs. These innovations significantly alter the method of obtaining cards within the game. Say goodbye to Spotlight Caches, as now you can utilize tokens directly in the Card Shop, streamlining the process of constructing your favorite deck. Updating the game right now will reward you with a free Series 5 collector’s pack. Yippee!

Due to the debut of the SEED content in SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, no other game seems significant right now. There’s a temporary banner featuring two UR units and a UR supporter, an Astray event showcasing SSR units and characters, but what truly stands out is the exciting addition: a fresh original story connecting SEED with SEED Destiny. As SEED is my favorite Gundam universe, I’m thrilled about this development!

This week, I gave Oblivion’s Remaster a spin for several hours, but it became apparent that it simply can’t compare to Skyrim in terms of importance. Consequently, I grabbed the Legendary Edition on Xbox and have once again ventured into the snowy landscape, armed with my Nord character who wields two axes. Despite its age, it remains an exceptional game.

Besides my usual struggle of keeping up with Pokemon TCG Pocket card decks, I’m planning to delve into Hello Kitty Friends Match this weekend. The game seems just right for me as it offers a dose of heartwarming and magical atmosphere. With the hassle of moving consuming me lately, assisting Hello Kitty in restoring magic to a dilapidated isekai island sounds like the perfect escape.

It’s a pity that my favorite character, Gudetama, isn’t around, but he certainly makes an appearance during the Month of Meh event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure! Oh my goodness, it seems like I might have to subscribe to Apple Arcade if I want to join in the fun.

As an enthusiast, I’m eager to dive into this fresh, adorable brain-teaser called “Looking for Aliens”. It promises relaxation through finding hidden extraterrestrial beings and solving puzzles – we’ll see if that lives up to the hype! However, I have a history of running out of patience after a while.

Besides this, if we get a few sunny days ahead, I’d love to spend some time playing Cookie Run: Kingdom in the park during a picnic. There’s nothing more delightful than being able to play your favorite game amidst the beauty of nature – pure gaming bliss!

Ah, I see you’ve delved into The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered and are contemplating a return to Blades. It’s also sparked some thoughts about Dark and Darker since there aren’t many pure first-person dungeon crawling games on mobile that readily come to mind.

Besides continuing with Vampire Survivors, I plan on enjoying some sunshine for most of this week, as the weather is expected to turn unfavorable by the following week.

As a gamer, I find myself with a plethora of fresh options to explore. The arrival of Lisa games on Android provides an enticing opportunity for me to re-engage with them – a chance to confront the challenges I’ve faced before with renewed determination and perhaps better prepared this time around. Additionally, I aim to conquer that unrelenting foe known as Flappy Bird; my goal is to surpass my previous high score of 20. Lastly, I’ll strive for the ultimate achievement: filling out the roster of characters in whatever game I choose.

Instead of diving right into the books, I plan on taking a moment to delve deeper into “Game of Thrones: Kingsroad” before its launch, ensuring my knowledge is up-to-date.

Currently, I find myself spending quite a bit of time playing Ludus. In my last Wrapp, I recall mentioning this. Over the past week, I’ve managed to advance and now participate in tournaments and various events, which is quite enjoyable. I would suggest this game for anyone seeking something casual yet tactically engaging. To give you an insight into its gameplay, it shares similarities with Castle Duels: PvP Battle Arena. You construct a deck of five monster cards that you deploy onto a grid arena. By combining identical monster cards, you elevate their level and unleash their hidden abilities. The first player to amass five victories emerges as the winner.

Apart from this, should I find myself with some free moments, I believe I’ll engage in a game of Teamfight Tactics with a buddy of mine instead. At the moment, we’re both at the diamond level, working our way up to masters – expect a detailed update on our progress in the coming week.

Over the upcoming weekend, I find myself repeating familiar words, but I can’t resist sharing that I plan on immersing myself further into the Pokemon TCG Pocket game. A fresh Ranked season has begun, and I’m optimistically aiming for two Solgaleo cards this time. If successful, it would help me adapt to the current gameplay trends more effortlessly – some might say like an unoriginal coward. Unfortunately, I didn’t get my hands on two Giratina Ex cards last season in time, and I’d rather attribute my challenges to that fact instead of acknowledging any subpar play on my part.

Apart from this, I’m drawn to try out Flappy Bird again, just to check if it still manages to be as frustratingly addictive as I remember from my younger days.
