I finished my No Man’s Sky expedition. This is the first time the game had actually hooked me. I really don’t know if it’s the corvette building or something else but I really enjoyed the whole experience.
And of course I was playing Silksong because still haven’t explored everything. But I will say, I’m not getting the same high I got from Hollow knight. I feel like the areas in Hollow knight had more sense of discovery. Most areas in Silksong feel like a different gradient of run down. It fits thematically but when you’re exploring I’m not getting the “I wonder what’s here” because I know there’s just more decay. I also don’t enjoy how hidden some places are. I don’t remember Hollow knight being like this but Silksong feels like I’m playing Wolfenstein 3D where I’m just hugging every wall to see if there’s a hidden wall. I don’t feel that rewarded for being perceptive because finding new areas comes down to swinging the nail at anything that looks remotely breakable or jumping at any place that looks passable. I also enjoy the charm system of Hollow knight more because it’s more flexible. Overall Silksong kinda makes me wish I was playing Hollow knight instead. It doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just not as good as Hollow knight.
I’m playing two games at once this week, firstly I’m playing bits and pieces of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on my 3DS. It’s a really great game so far, super fun and surprisingly good at translating the mainline NG gameplay onto a handheld and using stylus input for controls. Might well end up one of my favourite DS/3DS games when I’m done with it. I’m about halfway through so far I think.
I’m also playing through Enotria: The Last Song on PC for the first time. So far I’m having a blast with it, after some initial information overload I’m finally starting to engage with the systems and am starting to really enjoy using the stances and elemental rock-paper-scissors. From what I’ve seen so far it does not really deserve its mixed steam reviews - yes, there is some jank and it’s plainly AA but there is a lot of good to make up for it. The world design is gorgeous, the level design is great with lots of verticality and the setting is so lovely and unique. I have heard it’s fairly short, and I do maybe concur that it might not merit a full price purchase, but I do think it’s worth wishlisting for a deep sale if you like the genre. I’m having a lot of fun with it so far.
I‘m playing some AC Rogue and while I like the AC4 style gameplay… I had completely suppressed the memory of the shaking sprint camera, it bothers me sooo much
Mostly played Resonance of Fate. The story is surprisingly slice-of-lifey and the character interactions are pretty charming. The gameplay tho is a bit dull. I’m 15 hours in and more or less have been repeating the same thing for each battle, so I’m not sure how long I’m gonna play.
“A-885 ‘Hasang’ — Smallest steam locomotive ever used in Indian sub-continent. Built by W.G. Bagnall Ltd, Castle Engg Works, Stafford, UK, in the year 1897. This 0-4-0 narrow-gauge locomotive spent its working life in the Ledo Coal Mines in Assam”
I still regularly play L4D2 with friends. Also it’s modded beyond all recognition. Zombies are anime girls. Tanks are Donkey Kong. Witches are hatsune miku. Smokers are yoshi. Hunters are assassins creed hoodies. And more. Every weapon is something else. The graffiti in safe rooms are Jayden Smith tweets. The list goes on and on. I love playing it with friends.
That being said, in 2025, while I love L4D2, in 2025 I think World War Z is the best Left 4 Dead-like. Terrible movie, great book. Great movie based game.
