    I enjoyed my time with it. Working out the correct path was fun though I was really disappointed that there was only 1 path and to finish the game you just followed the objective marker. There were some fun moments though and I enjoyed the powers and the repeating elements. The endings were pretty poor I agree. I think it really depends how much the core gameplay appeals to you as to how much you’d enjoy it.










  • My wife and I have been playing Vintage Story. We’re really enjoying it. It’s a block survival game ala Minecraft but it’s much nicer to look at and the mechanics are way more in depth.

    We’re in our first winter currently and doing things around the house we built at the start of the cold season (so we can stay close to somewhere warm). We’ve just made our first windmill and are building a chicken coop and making our farm look nicer with fences and paths. I’ve just started tanning to make leather using barrels full of borax and tannins (which you get by soaking oak logs in water for a day or so).

    It’s also highly customisable with the world gen/ server settings and mods. For example we’ve moved our default spawn to our base and have a mod that sets spawn at beds for when we are off exploring.

    It’s in early access but there’s definitely enough game to justify the cost at present.


  • I played this for a few hours on a laptop a decent number of years ago. Such a weird game. I had no idea what was going on in the story despite all the exposition. I’m pretty sure you are in a cult but could be totally wrong. There were a load of options for gear and upgrades. It was definitely interesting and had potential. I think I stopped playing and didn’t finish it because I didn’t really understand why I was doing anything and I think I struggled to recognise any of the characters between scenes, if there were any persistent characters.






  • Playing some more of DA: Veilguard. My wife is desperate for me to finish it so she can discuss the ending with me. I’m really enjoying how dynamic the combat is definitely the most fun from an action perspective on the series, less tactical but more technical with the parries and dodges. I’m digging the found family vibes too, it’s just nice to hang out with some good mutually supportive people sometimes rather than loads of conflict drama.
