AI: the somnium files. cool game, didnt like it as much as the zero escape games but it's still a really good techno thriller. the dance number at the end kicks rear end lol, more games need to do that

Hitman 3

I finished the main story a day or so ago but I just finished cleaning up all the other stuff I wanted to get done. Really phenomenal game and series.

3. Far Cry 2. I don't know why they dropped the fire mechanic in the sequels it's such a simple intuitive tactical element and it's badass when everything is on fire and exploding. I played with a "vanilla+" mod that adds some QoL stuff and the option to disable saves outside safehouses (like the console version) so you have to plan ahead a little going into the missions. It's insanely long though like 20 hours, the story sucks and it gets a bit repetitive. The AI is really good. 4/5

hadn't done a knuckles playthrough in a long time, was gonna do it last weekend but just didnt for whatever reason. I remember it being a little longer, like I seem to remember there being a little bit more between Lava Reef and the final boss but guess not. I got stuck inside of a wall or blocked off test area and had to reset a total of Four times.

Extremely long but really fun co-op game. The bonus content was a little uninspired but overall I loved the game...the final bonus boss took us over an hour and a half lol, it was one of the most ridiculous bosses I've ever seen in a game like this

1. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin
Good game if wearying toward the end. The gameworld as a whole is less intriguing than DS1, though a lot of gameplay aspects are greatly improved. Mainly the co-op experience was so much better in this.

Game is pretty mid, but the combat and movement is cool. It's neat that the game came out like five years ago and the devs are still releasing big content patches for the tiny community that still plays it online.

Are you skipping 2? I never got through 2 or Infinity, but I think the original holds up. It's just one long dungeon crawl, but the atmosphere makes up for it

Been wanting to play Oxenfree for a few years but never got around to it. it was a dollar on steam so i snagged that rear end. it's a pretty decent walking sim, not great but not bad. cool visuals/music, but some of the dialogue really misses at critical moments and deflates the whole thing

there are also way fewer of them than i remember, i guess because there are so many dungeons.

I liked 2 more than the original back in the day and Minervas Den was probably the best of the lot.
Went for infinite next because I though it might be a bit too much rapture but I am regretting it so far as it’s even less of an ‘immersive sim’ and basically just a shooter. Although the main bad guy is called Father Comstock which makes me think of him as Father Cumsock.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
it's kind of surprising how much donut county sucks because it's a katamari rip-off and katamari owns, but everything that works in katamari just doesn't work in donut county
the levels are too small, there's not enough stuff in them, and just on a basic level it doesn't make sense because why would a hole get bigger when you put stuff in it?

in katamari, there's a great sense of progression because stuff that blocks your way (or is literally the ground you walk on) eventually you're rolling up into your cute growing chaos ball. you can't block a hole in the ground

and it's non-linear- it's thrilling when you get your katamari big enough to pick up traffic cones right when you're at a big line of traffic cones, you feel like you're nailing it.
donut county, if it's not time for you to collect that yet, you just don't collect it and find something you can, and it's just like rock -> bigger rock -> bigger rock -> oh the level's over

I give indie games a lot of leeway, but at some point I just had to admit I wasn't having fun

ya the idea is neat but it's more like a tech demo than a game. and i just started mashing through all the dialogue after like 5 minutes lol


anyway I beat Yakuza 4 and started up 5. having no internet has made me play like 10 hours of yakuza a day which has been epic, 4 was a huge improvement over 3, akiyama is dope as balls.

it turns katamari into a puzzle game, except the only puzzle is big bird asking you which crate is bigger

1. No More Heroes (Mild, True Ending, All T-Shirts)
2. Abe's Oddysee New n' Tasty (Hard Mode all 299 Mudokons saved):
3. Return of the Obra-Dinn: Amazing game an easy 5/5. Just was so much fun to wake up each morning and work out some new fates and piece new parts of the story together. Feel I did a pretty good job of solving any 2 arrow and some 3 arrow unblurred faces when I got them instead of just trying to unlock as many memories as I could to make it easy. Got all the fates and the secret chapter though I can't imagine most people would give up before that. I did almost do it accidentally thinking 2 of the fates wouldn't finish but I had a slight error on one. I didn't really have to rely on guesswork other than the 4 Chinese top men and the last two random seamen who were both from England. If id' gone through all their memories I'd probably have got them eventually but plugging in a limited amount of names when you had two rock solid solves didn't feel too cheesy imo. I am reading the wiki now to see how some of the three arrows were supposed to be identified super early and despite feeling like I found a lot of subtle stuff there is so much other stuff I missed. A must play.

Is Obra Dinn the best puzzle game? If there's anything even close to it, I want to play it.

2. Stacking.
Cute, has some of that Double Fine writing and visual design that makes Psychonauts a classic, but the puzzles are kid's fare. Most likely literally for kids?
3. Armored Warriors (co-op)
This is a blast. Every pick-up is fun. Definitely play this together with someone (or -two) else.
