Got saints row the third remaster on gog from the amazon prime subscription so i decided to replay the game and man how i love that game, it brings inside me the same feeling that i had playing gta as a kid of "i just wanna to bring chaos and have a blast" which the more silly approach of the game helps to get on that mood

I just got "The Textorcist". Really unique, being a bullet hell typing game. Has been a pretty enjoyable experience, and I'm thinking about 100%-ing it if I can.
Playing Heaven's Vault again. I was up to new game + 5 or so but then new computer. And there were no steam cloud saves. There are now cause I complained about it, but too late for my save, stuck on a windows 7 machine. Anyway, up to new game + 2 I think.

I’ve been playing my comfort games since I’ve been really anxious and depressed.
- ESO
- Skyrim
- euro truck sim 2
- civilization 3
Game list:
- Colin McRae Rally 04
- Spyro the Dragon
- Original VA-11 HALL-A prototype from 2014
- Amagami
Full version
I had a rough week so not much playtime for me this time. I played some more Colin McRae Rally 04 and went back to my dusty playthrough of Spyro the Dragon.
I started Spyro last year, I think, played a few worlds then stopped for months for various reasons. I enjoy the game quite a bit but I don't think it'll join the list of my favourite titles from that generation. Maybe the sequel will fare better (whenever I get to playing it that is).
Next, I played the original VA-11 HALL-A prototype from 2014. Despite some minor differences it feels pretty on point with the final game. I was also surprised that some of the backstory mentioned in the full release was actually about this version - it's a neat detail.
Lastly, I decided to grab Amagami - a pretty famous dating sim for PS2. I'm honestly really mixed on this one. The game itself is great (art, characters etc) and I like it quite a bit. The event board (the main way of interacting with the game) can be pretty overwhelming early on but it's not a huge deal. What is a big issue for me however has to do with game displaying changes of character relationships after every day as well as whenever events expire. I'm not sure why but both of these stress me out, even though neither is a failure state.
I would much prefer game not bring attention to these aspects and just update them in the background without forcing you to pay attention to them.
I managed to almost finish one of the routes but the stress is actually making me less and less willing to continue. It's a shame because I DO like the characters and writing, I'm just not sure I can keep up with the rest of it.
One thing I can say is that I never really had this problem with similar mechanics in anything I've played until now. It's a new experience, I'll give it that.
I promise I won't be spamming this every week but I'd like to once again link my Pixelfed account - it's fully focused on game screenshots and might be of interest to someone. This week I posted some shots from Cyberpunk 2077.
I’ve been playing Spyro the dragon on my raspberry pi Gameboy lately. Such nostalgia!

Currently slowly going through Everspace 2. The first title was a roguelite arcade space game, which is not a terrible combination, but not really what I wanted from the devs. With this sequel, they ditch the rogue grippings and expand into open-world arcade space, much like Freelancer or Darkstar, and that makes a world of difference. Story so far is nothing to write about, the dialogue and plot beats range from tedious to annoying, but it feels really damn good to fly around shooting down pilots.
Not your typical recommendation but Unnamed Space Idle has also been consuming my free time. As an avid idle game collector, I genuinely believe this might be the current top of the genre - at least in the current year. Every aspect, prestige layer and mechanic builds on top of each other, always pushing your momentum and never having a "Now you're going to stop having fun for hours" period of upgrading.
Squad
I'd recommend it for anyone who played BF2/2142 and even BF3/BC2 back in the day. I really don't like modern shooters as they are quite frankly shit in comparison but Squad is something different. Be warned though that it has its issues but when you get a good round in with decent squad mates and teamwork it is top tier.
I love BF2. I love BF2142. I want to play Squad. I can't play Squad. It's a me issue, 100%, but having to do voice comms with randoms in a competitive environment is something I really don't want to deal with anymore.
The little I did manage to play was fun so support your endorsement. Anyone looking for a combined arms squad based shooter should definitely check the game out.

The Invincible. A short narrative-driven game based on a graphic novel. Pretty good so far.
It's still one day out but if the hype keeps building I might fall victim to it and jump on Blue Prince tomorrow. Not very patient of me I know. I should be ashamed, but sometimes you just want to be part of a zeitgeist and this looks like a gem.
As always, iRacing and DRG. However, for something new, check out Split Fiction. Very fun co-op game by the makers of A Way Out and It Takes Two.
I've been playing It Takes Two this week with my daughter and it's really good. I highly recommend it too.
Such a great game. We really enjoyed our time with it. The boss fights were harder than I expected but quite manageable after a few attempts.
