This reminds me, I wish Xbox kept the black and white buttons when they added the shoulder buttons. There have been several times I was playing a game and thought about how useful it would be to have two more face buttons.
Having some fun in palworld with a friend, but I’m obssessed with Immortal Life now, a farming game with a wuxia theme where you can use chinese magic to help you water crops and stuff, very cute and a nice QoL for these games.
Since release I’ve been playing BG3 every week with a friend and we finally beat the game on Saturday. Great game, but man we’ve been playing it for a long time.
Picked up Viewfinder yesterday. Fun little indie puzzler. Very cool concept, don’t know how much I care about the plot or anything but it’s got some of the same trippy fun as Superliminal.
Oh, and I played a couple hours of Against the Storm and have been hesitant to pick it up again because I’m pretty sure it’s going to be problematic for my already busy schedule.
Still Baldur’s Gate 3. I don’t know if I commented last week but I finished my first play through (chaotic neutral). Was really fun and already started 2 other runs 👀, one githyanki run with custom Tav, Lae’zel and the gith hireling and a lawful good run with my half-orc monk oc.
Modern Assassin’s Creed games in a nutshell. Played Origins, it kept trying to convince me that stealth mattered but as long as you can time your dodges you can just run an army through. You’d clear areas a lot faster than sneaking around, too.
Stealth has always been optional in Assassin’s Creed. The modern games have a lot of problems (the series really hasn’t been good since Black Flag) but that one in particular isn’t new. Trying to be stealthy makes every mission take twice as long, but imo it also makes them more fun.
Slowly working my way up to harder difficulties in Against The Storm. Up to Prestige 6 now. Really nice difficulty curve.
Also got and finished Chants of Sennaar, and loved it! I’d really love a hard mode dlc without the journal some time, for a new language. I still need to finish Heavens Vault.
Both great games! I spent ~150 hours of Against the Storm and was playing around prestige 5-6 when I started to feel like I really understood how to play well. I’m really impressed with how well put together the game’s systems are. I hope they do GDC presentations so other developers can learn from them.
