Lies of P. It’s probably going to end up as my game of the year.

For me the past few days:

• MO: Astray - fun & difficult puzzle platformer with an interesting story
• Deep rock Galactic - fun, short, & mostly friendly public multiplayer
• Factorio - good for turning my brain into a smoothie
• Pilgrims - comical bartering puzzle game

Played some Heroes of the Storm with an online friend. I absolutely love this game, I only play it Vs AI, but it’s the only MOBA I ever really got into, because I don’t much enjoy competition and the AI is always there.

I never thought I’d get to this point with a competitive styled game, but I know all of the heroes, almost all of their abilities, I understand matchups or even possible talent choices and ideal or poor team comps. It helps that the game is locked in maintenance mode and I don’t worry about an ever inflating hero pool and an ever evolving meta.

Max Payne 3. After running consistent crashes on chapter 6 (I think?) I decided to play it on PC using a completed save file I found online. I was a bit annoyed with how Rockstar stores their save files but I eventually figured it out. Turns out I was literally a minute away from completing the chapter.

I managed to finish it and I’ve moved on to Cyberpunk.

I’ve also been playing The Sims 3. I want to try to create a world free of lots and any kinds of spawn points and place a family and see how things go when you essentially break the game and need to buy fridges for apples to plant, travel through time to get seeds, or flirt with the mailman to expand your family tree.

No Man’s Sky and Cozy Grove mostly. Just got No Man’s Sky for the switch, so I’m been learning the ropes and stuff. Still a bit lost, but I think that is kind of the point initially?

2nd playthrough of BG3 with friends.

Starfield.

Cyberpunk.

Conan exiles.

Just started a run through of The Isle Tide Hotel on Steam, enjoyed the demo a while back and I’m a sucker for a bit of FMV.
