Whatcha been playing! I’ve been back into Isaac a bunch. Grinding out dead god.
Also bought psychonauts 1 and 2 in the steam sale and plan on starting that soon
Found all the collectables and filled out the ability tree in Control! I’m a little sad to put this game away, but there’s not much more I can do in it. I could try maxing out the weapon mods, but there really is no reason to do so, so I’m moving on.
I was holding off on restarting Alan Wake 2 until after the Thanksgiving holiday, so I’ve been back at it again with Subnautica. I’ve got three bases so far, and now I’m working on building out a bunch of ion batteries and power cells for my equipment and Cyclops sub. I really wish you could get the ion stuff earlier in the game, since it’s fairly close to the end, but I’m going to see what more I can do before finishing this out.
Baldur’s Gate 3 coop, we’re in Act 2. For some reason, my friend started a fight, inside the throne room at Moonrise Towers, while surrounded by 20 enemies, half HP and no spells. We died, and because he hadn’t saved in an hour, we have to do some stuff again.
Then I finished the Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Palace of Ice DLC. It’s definitely the weakest campaign for me (base game and two DLC). The final dungeon was also pretty disappointing, but I liked the very final decision you had to do.
Then I started the Baldur’s Gate - Siege on Dragonspear DLC. I played the base game a year ago for the first time, and I think the game didn’t age well at all, and this DLC doesn’t improve things. I’m close to the end, but I really don’t like how it’s playing out right now, and I don’t care about the story at all.
The SoD expansion was made by Beamdog some 15 years after BG1 was released. It’s admirable that they tried getting the original voice actors back, but otherwise the team behind BG 1&2 (and ToB) had nothing to do with it. I couldn’t get through it, and I have a hard time supporting the Enhanced Editions as is due to Beamdog inserting their fanfiction into them as well - though I recognise they’ve been instrumental in revamping the engine and bringing the games to a new generation of people.
Yeah, I knew it was released later and that at least the Steam Reviews are only mixed. Still, I didn’t think it would be such a waste of time.
My friend and I finished 100%ing Slay the Princess.
Highly recommend. The writing is fantastic and all the different routes feel distinct and rewarding to explore. Go into it blind!
The last month I have played Brighter Shores for something more relaxed (some would say brain dead when it comes to levelling skills) and
a game beta under NDA for harder stuff.In the recent steam sale I grabbed a bunch of games, the last few days I have been sinking time into Shapez and Shapez 2. Building and optimising without cost or survival is my jam, even more than I thought.
This Friday Path of Exile 2 goes into early access and I will take at least a look at it, though likely start on Saturday.
