The former is a masterpiece and the latter I’m having fun with but required a massive perspective shift and 3 play attempts to do so compared to previous Fallout games (even FO4).
I don’t know about all the hardware, but I have that same case and absolutely love it. There were so many times putting the thing together were I found myself impressed by the thoughtfulness of design and ease of use. It’s dope. Never thought I’d have strong opinions about a case!
Lego Jurassic World on the Switch. I bought a Switch for me and my kid for Christmas, and have picked up a few games for the two of us to take it in turns on. I haven’t played a Lego game properly before, but this has hooked me.
It’s got a few downsides, like the rolling ball level looked like a cutscene at first, so I didn’t even try to control it, and some levels are made for you to come back to later with a different character, so it feels like you’re stuck when you’re not sometimes.
They’re easy to overlook though because the gameplay is good, and it’s got dinosaurs :D
Lego games with the kids are great fun. Lego Marvel Superheroes/Superheroes 2/Avengers are great if you want to keep exploring the Lego games. I have found that the older the Lego game, the harder it is. Some of the puzzle-solving in them can just be annoying and frustrating. I’d stick to the newer ones and work your way backwards rather than the other way around. They definitely learned from their mistakes!
I haven’t played a Lego game for years. I think the last one was either Star Wars or Batman, and didn’t start off very well. I’ll definitely be trying more now though :)
Dude, I’m scarred from Lego Batman 3. The puzzles in that game are just way too obtuse even for an experienced gamer. No idea how they expect kids to get through it. lol
ICEY might be a good one to check out. It mixes cynical untrostworthy narration (like from the Stanley parable) with a 2D side scrolling hack and slash. some people say it doesn’t quite measure up on both fronts, but I enjoyed it. it has a nice art style too
I’m still working through Phantom Liberty. It’s so well done, a step up even from the original game.
I’m quite sad that Cyberpunk 2077 is all done now, but I’m excited that they have started production on the sequel. Say what you will about CDPR and how they botched the launch of CP2077, they game as it stands now is fantastic and probably one of my favorite games of the last decade.
On the side, I’ve been playing a fun little indy twin-stick shooter rogue-lite called “Shape Shifter: Formations”. I tend to pick up a lot of these kinds of rogue-likes… they’re generally dirt cheap so it doesn’t take many hours of fun to feel like I got my money’s worth. I’m 20 hours into this one so far… $6 well spent!
Among other things, it sounds like Cyberpunk had a lot of technical debt that they struggled to overcome, hence the move to Unreal engine going forward. With the lessons learned from the last one, they're surely on to bigger and better things with the sequel, maybe even the multiplayer they cut from 2077. I think Baldur's Gate 3 has shown how much hunger there is for a proper co-op mode in an RPG.
Just finished CP myself yesterday, with a 9 hour push through the “final day”. I had previously in my run rejected the (possible) helpful offer at the end of Phantom Liberty to find my own solution to my problem and, after spending far too much time debating over a single dialog choice, I settled on one that lead to a satisfactory, if bitter-sweet, conclusion.
The sense of finality was quite profound and pleasing. I have no wish to play my V anymore, as I think their story is done. While this means I may never revisit NC again (which makes me a little sad), I can live with that. I guess I can look forward to CP: Boston in 10 years :-).
Between Diablo sessions, I've been replaying Metro: Last Light (the original, not redux), and man, I am having a blast. I absolutely love that game. Out of the three Metro games, it's probably my favorite. Even choosing to be stealthy is a lot of fun. I've been playing with a silent revolver/Kalash/Ashot combo, and I can't wait to get my/Artyom's hands on the Kalash 2012.
