Update 2

Some good gaming going on since last time, let’s get right to it!

It's unbelievable how good this game is. I fell in love with it immediately and ended up doing a second playthrough on hardcore right after. Kim Kitsuragi is now easily one of my favourite gaming characters of all time. Everyone should experience this game at some point in their life, it is a masterpiece.


Half-Life 2

Mirror's Edge

The combat in this game suuuckss. The parkour is janky sometimes but it can be fun (sometimes…) If it wasn't for PoP I would have abandoned the game, and even then if it was slightly longer I probably wouldn't have finished it anyway. I'll admit it started off pretty well, but unfortunately fell off as combat became more prominent.

I probably spent like an hour just staring at the lighting and other visuals, because this game is absolutely beautiful. The gameplay is the main thing keeping this game from getting a higher rating, as it is quite basic and not particularly interesting. Thankfully the story is your typical great Indiana Jones story, was fun throughout. The biggest gripe I have with this game is how annoying any character you are with is, especially Gina constantly shouting 'over here!' or 'Jones!!!' while you're just trying to look around a bit before interacting with her.

It was a little frustrating at times, in this sense I think the first one may have been better, but then again I don't remember much from the first one anymore. The ending made up for that though, as it definitely made me think about the game for a bit with how good it was.


Other than that I’ve tried a bit of Balatro when it came to PC Game Pass, but cards and roguelikes are two things I’m not into so that only lasted for about 6 hours. I’d consider this as abandoned, but it’s also a great game to pull up when I’m sitting in a boring uni lecture, so I’m not making an official abandoned post for it.

Currently actively playing:

Game Platform Progress
Prey Epic 8h
Little Kitty Big City Game Pass 1h

No new progress on Prey. I don’t want to play this anymore, but it’s one of my best friends’ favourite game, so I’m really trying to get through it.

New backlog additions:
Golden Light (free)
I did also active my free 3 months of PC Game Pass and there’s a few games I want to play on there, technically that counts as backlog?

Congratz for your finished games !
But aoww you didn’t like mirror’s edge :-(

Mortvie

I’ve heard that Catalyst has better combat so maybe I’ll still give that a try some time later

Catalyst is less linear, more open world, i don’t remember the combat being significantly improved but by most fans of the 1st mirror’s edge, the 2nd was considered a regression as the story and artstyle were much weaker.

Fact I still haven’t gotten around to Disco Elysium confuses me and it’s something to rectify. I’ve seen practically nothing but praise for the game and those few “is it an RPG?” here and there.

Mortvie

Definitely don’t skip out on it, can’t believe it took me so long to finally play it myself. The praise is so deserved, one of the best games I’ve ever played. Also the less you know about it the better :)

I’m just sad to see the team behind it fell apart and now there’s, what, five studios doing their own thing? Thanks.
