I finally beat Grounded - such a fun game. I happily played almost 60 hours with only a few complaints.

Now I’m playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I played Yakuza 0 then jumped straight to LAD, which I think was the right call. It balances the line of not taking myself seriously but really being enjoyable to play. I also love how Game Pass Cloud syncs with my Xbox Series X cloud save, so I can play it on the Steam Deck really easily.

I’ve also been super sucked into EVE Online - I played like 10 year ago and it’s been really fun to jump back in.

Finished playing Return to monkey island. My love for point & click games keeps om growing.

Fun game. Liked the art style, can't understand what all the fuss was about.

Now playing through monkey island 2 lechucks revenge Special edition.

Also finally finished a run of dead cells with the 1st difficulty token. Been trying to do that for awhile now.

Possible minor FF7 remake spoilers ahead if you want to play knowing nothing about it!

So I have tried to finish FF7 Remake, which has been really enjoyable until it stumbled and smashed it‘s teeth on the pavement literally 3 steps away from the finish line. That last chapter is an utter mess with too many boss phases, bosses, unskippable cutscenes, confusing restart messages and lack of save options. How did the game do so much right just to be so utterly frustrating in the very end? It also seems so forced story wise but that’s a different topic. I have no clue what drove the devs to such madness but I ended up watching the final cutscene on Youtube after hours of painful repetition.

Of course I was wondering if I‘m the only one feeling this way so I looked up what others have to say and… yeah Square Enix really just messed up there after doing almost everything else right. Baffling.

I'm slowly replaying the old homeworld games in advance of homeworld 3 coming out soon. I'm still on the first one and it holds up very well. Bit disconcerting to see it's a quarter of a century old now.

Were you able to find the expansion? I have 1 and 2, and deserts of kharak, but haven't gotten around to finding the expac.

No, but TBH I haven't really looked yet, I'm still working my way through the campaign. I'm told that the mods are still out there somewhere so I'd guess the expansion is too. I'm also told there's also a community developed game that's pretty complex - but again, I've not checked it out, my screen time is pretty limited these days.
