Halls of Torment: I’ve been playing it religiously for the last two weeks now. And I only have two Steam achievements left to collect. It’s Vampire Suvivors but Diablo. A simple concept, but it really works. The game has great atmosphere, and it really is a steal for the price. I just wish there were less frame drops, when my screen gets too busy at the end of a level. But it’s really the only complaint I have for the game.
Talos Principle. The VR version of the first game, haven’t gotten around to the second game yet. I love the puzzles (when I don’t struggle with timing running past mines), and it’s hilarious that the philosophical test to make a Milton admin profile showed me how utterly unprepared I am for philosophical debate, and how weirdly contradictory my viewpoints might be. Mind you, the only philosophy class I’ve taken in my life was an ethics class.
TL;DR Talos Principle is amazing so far, even though it makes me want to slink off back to college and sheepishly register for a philosophy class.
Been playing the original ni no kuni as part of my Ghibli playlist.
The game shows its age right from the get go, though it’s still adorable and fairly charming. 5 hrs in and my only complaint is that jumping is somehow an unlockable, but yeah guess it’s just me.
Steam input support is a pleasant surprise. And I ran into a steam bug because of that(¯_(ツ)_/¯).
I’ve actually started playing Genshin Impact, and it surprised me how fun it is! And it’s nice to be able to play on the phone when travelling/sitting in the sofa, and then hop on the PC when the kids and wife has gone to bed.
I can see myself getting burned out in a few weeks as well. But so far the combat is really fun, and the stories are interesting enough to keep me playing.
Been playing Disney Starlight Valley. Idk why but it’s pretty fun. Maybe because it’s familiar, and grindy. The mood is always light and non stressful. We did notice that pocahontas is not in the game. Apparently she’s too much of a PR liability maybe?
Otherwise I was binging hard on Grand Turismo 7. It was pretty well done.
Throwback last week was Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Friend was playing it so I joined back in.
When the EDF sale came around, I already owned 4.1 but decided to get back into it. Taking some references from a guide on what are the best weapons, I have a lot of fun as Wing Diver, and even finished a few missions on Inferno.
It probably helps that I got a new CPU since I last played the game. Handling hundreds of GIANT INSECTS on screen can’t be simple for old computers.
