I appreciate the info. Thanks!

I’ll definitely be sure to check it out sometime.

I’ve never played the first one but Unravel 2 is awesome. Played it with a friend years back and it was one of our favourites to play together.

I’m going to have to figure out how to do that too. I’ve got my first coming pretty soon. I get 8 weeks parental leave so I don’t have quite as much time as my wife gets to figure all that stuff out, maybe I should practice before the baby comes.

We played ITT but stopped after the elephant thing. We’ve considered finishing it but never got around to it.

Oh good, I’m glad I recommended it then. I’ll have to try the mod when I next play Unity. No idea when that’ll be though.

How was it? My wife was interested in checking it out.

I just checked, the mod I was referring to is ACUFixes.

Yeah customization was good in that game, I also seem to remember liking customization in Syndicate but I can’t remember it now.

I’ve had a fair few talks on here recently about Unity. I liked it way more than the general consensus. I’ve heard there’s a really good mod for it that fixes nearly all of the problems, but I haven’t tried it personally.

I’m curious what you’ll think of them. They’re not too platform heavy at all, more puzzle based but even then the puzzles aren’t too complicated. The main appeal (at least for me) is the environments, which are top tier imo. The vibes are immaculate, as they say. Genuinely I’d consider Inside to be my all time favourite environmental game, though I can see some people disagreeing with that for sure. It tickles me in exactly the way I love. Limbo is also fantastic and a top five for sure. They’re creepy and eerie but not scary or horror, which is my niche 100%. Not a lot of games have an environment like that, and Inside is the only game I’ve ever found to give me that specific feeling. I’ve been looking for years to recreate it, but alas I’m stuck with replaying it over and over again.

I feel that, it’s scorching where I live too (at least for me, I prefer colder temps). I had to buy an extra portable AC this year otherwise I’d be in the same boat as you.

I didn’t know Limbo and Inside were about to be delisted. They’re some of my favourite shorter games I’ve ever played, especially Inside. I already own them on every platform I’ve owned since they released (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android) otherwise I’d be getting it now on GOG. Those games are awesome.

Me too. First time. I’m enjoying it so far

Gravity is the toughest boss in all the Souls games. Don’t worry, it’s not just you!

Funny, playing Dishonored made me want to revisit the modern Hitman trilogy, which I’m doing now in addition to Dishonored.

Awesome game. I’ve been bouncing between a replay of Dishonored among other games lately, and no matter how many times I replay it, it never gets old or boring. Is this your first playthrough?

One of my all-time favourite games. Enjoy the journey. There’s nothing quite like that first experience of the original Dark Souls. It’s a truly special game.

I also enjoy open world RPGs, and both Origins and Odyssey are some of my favourite open world games, but there was just something about Valhalla that rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe if I were to replay it now I’d prefer it, I don’t know.

I’ll have to check it out with ACUfixes. I wasn’t aware of that mod.

I started Assassins Creed with Black Flag, and continued with the series from that point on. When I played Valhalla, I really didn’t enjoy it, to point that I dropped the game and instead went through the games I hadn’t played (1-3) and finished with a replay of Black Flag. I haven’t gone back to the series since but I’ve been meaning to try out Mirage. I’ve heard it’s decent.

Since you’re currently playing Unity, I will say I enjoyed that one way more than the general consensus would suggest. The English accents in France was a little weird and I know the game was super buggy for some people but I had a great time with it. It might’ve helped that my friend was super into that game at the same time I was so we would talk about it together. I’d like to replay it one of these days but I owned it on Xbox One and don’t have that anymore.
