      I’ve not gone very far yet but everything is so well thought out. I can tell it’s going to absorb a lot of my time.

      I’ve had to force myself to go back to Horizon to finish it off before I disappear down BG3. Also got Dave the Diver on the go.

    Bought Chivalry 2 last knight. Man that’s a blast. I must have had my head cut off at least 4 times in an hour!

        I’ve probably played 10s of hours of it and I have no idea what’s going on. Run in, make sure you’re holding down the scream button, swing your weapon a few times, maybe get a few lucky hits in, die. It’s brilliant.

    I’ve not had time to play anything this week, but my 11 year old has been playing this clone Pokemon game on Xbox called Nexomon Extinction. I’d actually tried to play it a while ago but bounced off it because of the difficulty, but 11 year olds have more time to put into these things. So he batters away at the first boss. But this game has like an anti-grinding design so you can’t just level up your party to make them OP. So he does some research, learns some specific moves, and finally beats it. Keep in mind this is the first boss. And he gets an achievement for beating it. An achievement that 57% of players have got. 57. THE FIRST BOSS. You think the developers would have looked at their analytics and thought “hmmm, maybe this needs a bit of balancing”. But no. Let’s keep is so that more than 40% of users who bought this game have seen only a tiny fraction of it.

    I finished Hogwarts Legacy last night and whilst I think it fumbled the landing to some extent it’s probably one of my favourite new games of the year. I usually prefer a more…focused experience, and that’s the case here, but the game does a fantastic job of getting you into it’s world.

    Not sure what to play next. PinocchioSouls is still a month away.

    Sonic Frontiers. I’m enjoying it, but I am feeling a bit lost. No idea what gate keys are from vaults.

    Quake 2 remastered. Clash of the Machine is a fun expansion, very good use of the engine’s capabilities in terms of map design.

    I’ve played a bit of Tales and Tactics this week. It’s a single player roguelike auto-battler made by some Slay the Spire mod developers.

    I’ve also started playing Into the Breach on the SteamDeck. This is my second time trying to get into it. For some reason the first time I found it too hard so this time I started with a couple of runs on easy to ease myself in to it.

    Telltale Games, I’ve been on a bit of a Telltale binge this week with The Walking Dead season 3, a little bit of Batman TTS and Minecraft Story Mode too.

    I’m still looking forward to trying The Expanse game but I’m waiting for the price to drop a little.

    Also in a effort to keep the kids busy and learn something new I taught them some card games. I don’t know many myself but Clock and Pontoon are easy enough for them to enjoy.
