I just tried the VR game Gorn for the first time. I thought I have plenty of roomscale, but this game had me smashing into furniture, ripping out my HMD cable and almost breaking my Touch controller. I have rearranged my furniture so I have slightly more space now. This is the most physical VR game ever!

The Glitcher 1.

I say Glitcher affectionately, because I'm liking it.

I'm playing through The Dwarves right now, I'm really enjoying it, I just enjoy soaking in the storytelling.

I recently finished the following games, and I really enjoyed these so I just want to gush over them for a bit:
Remothered: Tormented Fathers - Like Hello Neighbor, you're tasked with sneaking around a house solving puzzles while avoiding a prowling inhabitant. The sound design is fantastic, I love the tension in the music as the person hunting you gets closer and closer. The review by groze on the game card is spot on about how I feel about the game, and its positives and negatives.

Stories Untold - A really well designed game with a mix of different interesting gameplay elements spread across four short episodes. Frankly, I was deflated with where the build-up to the story led to, but I understand the game authors' decisions and I enjoyed the journey which for me was more important.

ECHO - A third-person action game set in a soft sci-fi setting. Most of the plot is revealed by way of conversation between the protagonist En, and the ship AI, London. The game has an interesting concept where the enemies learn from you based on which actions you take in the world and which move-sets you use during different cycles. The game does mix things up a few times, but there could have been potential for more (which does exist as different game modes and modifiers you can unlock at the end of the game). There are collectibles in the world, the most important of which is upgrades to how much energy you can use (for weapons, special abilities, and so on).

I'm playing Elminage: Original, Burnout: Legends and Pangya: Fantasy Golf.

Good to hear - been eyeballing this one for a while, finally picked it up last sale. Really looking forward to trying it, not sure when though - might "backburner" it for when I'm in a gaming slump.

Love the game, but had to stop playing it early in. Just too frustrating. The missions almost boil down to timed puzzles - you had to play this massive maps in the exact right order, knowing the exact decks to use and do it all by a certain turn or you were done.

Need a card or deck type against a certain guy? Too bad, you didn't know and by the time you go to the one area you can buy it, FAIL. Need to know enemy will attack point X at time Y? Too bad, if you're not on your way there already with the proper level and right deck, FAIL.

Wanted to like the game, but the puzzle like nature of each map made it "unfun." Like trail and error on a Heroes of Might an Magic sized mission, where you can lose by turn 2 and not know it until turn 12.


LOL - blabbed too much about your games, no time left for mine ;) Been playing Phantom Doctrine. Fun game, worth the wait. Makes me paranoid though - "Do I want to take on this agent? What if he's a spy???"

To me, it's a very relaxing game, one where I can take my time to do the different things available. Only one mission, where you need to kill all Aviaks before the enemy reaches them had any kind of time limit. The game is just unfair sometimes, what with the early apperance of high level enemies in some missions, but I got through them as well by having one hero do all the fighting and two others that only collected resources.

The spells available have a strategic depth that help you to win underdog fights, but it's a steep learning curve and the game isn't very good at giving you useful info about the spells while in the campaign mode (googling for help doesn't give much either). While in duel mode, you can beforehand check out the different decks of yourself and your opponent and learn more about the different spells.

Somehow I don't think losing is bad in Etherlords, it simply gives me an opportunity to try a different strategy and that kind of trial and error doesn't bother me. It's the same with the Blackguards series, which many people disliked because of unfair RNG (spells might fail sometimes), but it never bothered me and each failed fight there just made me think how I could do it better.

I figured I might as well get some more EA games in before my Origin Access subscription lapses in mid-October. I already went through the fun Unravel and Fe in the last couple of days. Now I'm onto Crysis 2, which looks mighty fine for being over 7 years old. It's pretty fun in switching up from stealth kills to invisible sniping and being a charging power armor badass. Tote those 50-cals like it ain't no sweat.

And I'm already onto Crysis 3 now. Gameplay-wise I actually like this already more than 2. Stealth kills are more satisfying, I don't have to bother collecting alien goop from kills for upgrades, sprinting does not gobble up energy... among other things. It looks even better still, but the grass looks kind of weird/funky under close scrutiny. The banter between the main characters makes this already better than the one-sided monologues of 2. There's some strange story inconsistency between the 2 and 3 since the actual Prophet shouldn't even be alive anymore, but it sure sounds like him in this game.

I am mining in Skyrim. This is not even a proper run and I could just take all the things I need but noooo. I must have all the iron. I can't just run past it.
Hey, I managed to fast travel few times so there's that!

Has ANYONE played Ember? :P

Tsk tsk.

While on vacation I FINALLY finished Full Throttle.Remastered...I must say I was rather dissapionted. Hope DoTT and Grim Fandango are better.

And now I'm playing Comix Zone from Sega Collection of my recently-bought PS VITA and I'm having real fun with it (still can't beat first boss)

I'm doing a little break from The Elder Scrolls: Online trying to create perfect character in TESIII: Morrowind.
