Thrillho:
I got the remastered Bioshock three pack as a way to kill time during my time off work.

Close to the end of the first one before I get into DLC I've never played, which will hopefully be fun. The first one mostly holds up pretty well but I have a couple of gripes of things that I think show both some minor issues in the writing and some glitches that should really have been sorted.

I found one carriage that was surrounded by trapbolts but had some stuff inside; I managed to get in and get to the stuff, but none of it could be picked up. Bit irritating.

Also when Fontaine messes with your plasmids, I shouldn't be able to randomly summon ones which I have never purchased. How does that work genetically? I understand messing with my brain chemistry to not be able to choose, but I have never had a freeze one so why do I have it now in this section? Sometimes fun, but quite immersion breaking.

cybersmurf:
Been playing Horizon Zero Dawn on PC. Good game, not that good a port. Getting crashes constantly, and I don't know why. If you think about buying it: wait for the first major patch, maybe even a sale.

LeeC:
I net a bunch of achievements last night as High Elves in Warhammer Total War 2. I found out I could load a previous campaign and continue where I left off and still get achievements (thought it was only with current patches). So I loaded an old Vortex Campaign from just before The Grim and The Paunch DLC and continued where I left off. I finally finished the campaign (First time finishing a Vortex Campaign) and have all the High Elf specific achievements except winning on VeryHard\Legendary.

I also got a few rare ones and man did it take a long time to do. At one point I was just ending turns, doing nothing, waiting for the population to grow high enough to expand the cities just to get the governor one. Reminded me of my Empire playthrough where I was just ending turns for 40+ turns just to confederate the last 2 elector counts after having defeated Archaon.





I do notice that although I have clocked in 400+ hours in the game, I have only ever finished a campaign 4 times (including this one). I can't be the only one that plays a campaign for 100 turns before wanting to play another faction because it got too easy or needed a flavor swap, right? Its like "turn 100 ADD" or something. I think there is a technical term for it (not ADD of course) but I forget what it was called.

Edit: looking at achievements and it looks like only 18.1% of players have completed the Vortex campaign. I am finally one of those people.

oddtail:
I finished "Return of the Obra Dinn".

If you like puzzle games or detective games... this is a pretty decent puzzle, and possibly the best detective game I've ever played (depending on the criteria for "best"). It's fun and engaging and it's no BS, all figuring stuff out.

The game is an indie title with simple graphics stylized to look like old, monochrome computers would render things (but the game is in 3D and has a fair amount of detail). The idea is that a sailing ship mysteriously returned home without any of its crew and passengers, and you're an insurance company agent with a magical watch that can show you what happened in the moment of a person's death, if you have access to a corpse. The goal is to figure out the identity and eventual fate of all 60 people the ship left with. In the beginning, you have very little to go on, but the visions the watch provides allow you to jump into *other* visions, Inception-style. Eventually, you'll have access to several snapshots of the ship's voyage, and you can explore them in search of clues and important details.

The game is not crushingly difficult, and there's no penalty for failure (so in theory, you can solve the game by trial-and-error and guesswork). But putting together what happened takes a bit of time, and the further along you get, the more the scenes of the past make sense, and the more you get invested in guessing and eventually finding out what happened to whom. Notably, the game requires you to pay attention to small bits of information in multiple scenes to piece together what happened to any single person. It can be as obvious as a line of dialogue, or as subtle as which room a person is standing in. To me, it has a strong "Sherlock Holmes putting clues together" vibe to it.

The game is really one of a kind, and if you haven't heard of it (and don't mind that you honestly can only play it once, because on a replay, you'll just know the situation well enough to not *have* go figure things out), do consider buying it. It's a few hours of fun that's brilliantly crafted to be both smart and accessible.

Blue Kitty:
I finally finished the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Adventure Mode: World of Light. I made more progress in the past few days while looking after my newborn daughter than I did when I first got the game.  It's nice to go back and beat all of the Spirits I was having trouble with in the beginning.
