Steam Autumn Sale underway.

Been playing Code Vein. It is basically an anime Souls-like. I would give it a 7/10. It is decent, but not great. Story is kinda meh. Not sure I will finish it. Was hoping for better.

Lies of P is still the best Souls-like game, imho.

For sure. Lies of P is the best soulslike not from FromSoft. Remnant 2 is also a very good soulslike if you are looking for some shooting action with co-op even.

Lies of P was good... I had a heckuva time with the end boss though. Ridiculous from what I remember.

I thought Mortal Shell was also a very good soulslike. It was a shorter game (around 15 hours I think) which I very much appreciate sometimes. Get in, have fun, get out. Nice!

Got a wild hair out of nowhere and booted up Creeper World 4 again to try to beat all the extra missions. What an addicting game for me. It's like a tower defense puzzle game thingie. Hard to explain but a joy if you like figuring things out and slow methodical problem solving mixed panicked moments of "Oh ****, it's breaching the line!" As you rage quit and immediately start over.

Tiding me over until I convince myself I have the time for Witcher 3. Funny how the mind works…

Anyone playing the new Lego Batman?

Between games again. Not sure what I want to do. I have Witcher 3 Remastered and Skyrim SE. I played Skyrim last night for a bit and was sort of intrigued to play that again. Haven't played either in 10 years. However, it looks like you have to pay for user mods now on PS which the last time I booted this up on Xbox a couple of years ago and gave it a look I did not have to do that. That's b.s.

Spiderman 1 remastered. It's good but isn't gripping me like the last several games I've played. My 5 year old loves to help me play it so I'll keep going. I want to start Witcher 3 remastered but I may start it later closer to when the DLC is released so I go right into that when completing the main game, and the original DLC's. I 100%'d it a year or so ago, so I plan to start fresh.

Did you finish Hell is Us? I got super busy and haven't played much... think I'm a little over halfway done.

I ultimately made it to the end game (I'm pretty sure anyway) and got stonewalled there by difficulty. I might go back and try to get by it, but I've rage quit a few times already.

Great game though.

Only seems to be one mystery I haven't solved and missed somewhere along the way unless it's after where I'm at somehow.

I have been playing the WOW Forever beta. For some strange reason I never got into it when it came out originally even tho I was jobless all of 2004. lol. It has been fun. I joined one of the Olympus guilds. There are over 70k combined in all of the Olympus guilds. Basically just a large army.

Also been playing Lords of the Fallen. A good soulslike game. I want to get that done before Lords of the Fallen 2 comes out.

I need retirement to get here faster so I can catch up on my backlog.

Cool. I got really sucked into all the side quests, puzzles, etc even though most of the time the reward is minimal (but it makes me feel smart for figuring it out!).

I'm at the point where I'm going to start pressing to finish and leave some mysteries unsolved.

I had to cheat on a couple of them. Some of them are so esoteric and obscure you would be flat out guessing who to hand stuff to or where to even go.

I had too YT a couple puzzles. One of them really pissed me off becaus it was the one where you had to go around a building collecting clues and dates off wall art.

I did all of it like it was 1990 all over again because I was having to take physical notes to get all the dates & corresponding numbers correct. I had it 100% correct, except the game wanted me to enter the numbers backwards. WTH man!!!

I'm so sorry you got roped into that personality cult. Blink twice if you ever need help.


I am also playing Forever, it's a lovely way to wind down and hang out with some chill people. Stopping for now until release, but what I've played has been exactly what I wanted from it.

Aside from that, Diablo 4 and finishing a few things here and there in Expedition 33.

I ended up taking pics of my TV to remember some of this stuff so I could refer back to solve puzzle. However, some of these literally had no clues around proper order so you just had to guess until you got lucky.

Please don't mention that. I lost so many hours in that early game. No idea what it looks like now since it's been 4 years since I played it.

I tried it on gamepass but didn't really take to it. I liked some of the Chinese-themed ones better. Haven't tried Wukong yet.

Picked up star wars galactic racer. It looks like it'll be fun.

Finished it. Really solid game!

Started playing Until Dawn (free on PS+).

I was unsure about it and almost turned it off after 10 min... the dialogue is pretty bad.

But there's just enough stupid teen/young adults about to get ax murdered vibe that I think I'll see it through, just for the October spirit.

Watching some streams of it while I work today. Look nuts. Only concern is the longevity and getting $70 out of it. Hoping there is enough progression and variety to keep it fun for longer than 10 hours.

I'll take a swing at it later.

In meantime, I've loaded up about 50 mods to Skyrim SE and am playing that again.

Playing the new Castlevania game for the Halloween vibes. Enjoying it

I've been playing Dave the Diver for the couple of weeks. It has been fun and relaxing, but it is starting to get a bit repetitive.

Been trying out the Arc Raiders PVE toggle they are testing until Oct 20.

Honestly, I really enjoyed it. The Arc are a pretty good challenge even without having to worry about other players ganking you. Still some griefers, of course. I got downed once and another player instead of helping me, drug a rolling exploder Arc to me to finish me off. Was kinda funny.

But I also saw several occasions of players organically helping each other.

I am hoping they make it a permanent option, as that will be the main way I play. If not, I probably won't get back into it much. Don't have time to worry about getting ganked and losing everything every run,

I started Castlevania: Belmont's Curse over the weekend and it's been great so far. Just beat the second boss so I'm not very far into it yet. It took a bit to get used to the movement but once you do everything clicks. If you liked Dead Cells you'll probably like this.

I've been sucked back into Skyrim. Playing the SE on PS5 with ~50 mods installed. I was curious if I would quickly get bored with it and move on, but I'm in it now. It's been a decade since I played it so thankfully I don't recall a lot of what I've already run across.

The mods help, of course.

Skyrim is one of those games you can always go back to every few years and it feel largely like a new experience.

The mods that increase merchant gold to 10k and your carry weight to 10k are life changers. Especially the carry weight mod. I can now pick up more than 3 items without being totally encumbered.

FYI - Horizon Forbidden West is now free on PS Plus.
