@Accidental_Kills98 @MrOchoa @rattleshnake @Rimland Many Thanks for your suggestion, I am on Playstation and looking for this platform. I played all Battlefield games except for 2042. Regarding Blood Fresh Supply, seems it will run in my 7 years old PC, will try after I unpack and assemble the CPU and install some OS there. SWAT 4 was really a good game in the year 2005 I remember, Rainbow Six was another.
Mostly FPS shooter studios wants to grow their business focusing on multiplayer these days, I personally like Campaign missions - Project IGI.

You might also give the last few Wolfenstein games a go if you haven’t yet (New Order, Old Blood, New Colossus). The weapons aren’t strictly speaking “modern”, but the gunplay is damn good.
Other than that, if you fancy something more run and gun, there’s the good old Soldier of Fortune (which would definitely run on your PC). Second one is great as well, but is more of a “tactical” shooter and can have some potentially frustrating moments.
It’s all part of that video game fantasy.

I’m replaying Star Wars Bounty Hunter. It’s a bit of an unknown game but man its great.
The main theme always gives me Hitman Vibes

The game could use are remastered re-release. Wouldn’t care too much about the improved graphics but the game needs some better controls. It’s just a pain to cycle through your inventory when having to scan for bounties and then trying to capture them alive.

Well, I am very nearly done playing Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate; I’m on the last two memory sequences of its DLC campaign, with only one piece of equipment to unlock from it and one upgrade to spend my game currency on that same piece of equipment. Aside from that, there’s nothing left, I might very well finish it tonight. The only part I haven’t played is a campaign that is exclusive to PlayStation, and I say again that I hope whoever came up with the idea of platform exclusivity for multi-platform games loses everything they have in life and dies lonely and forgotten on the floor of a soiled public bathroom in an impoverished neighborhood.
I can say that this has definitely been one of the more fun AC games all the way through as far as gameplay goes, and doesn’t seem to have taken as long as Unity, probably because I’ve had more fun with it. It’s also surprising that being closer to modern times has not tarnished the feel of it. One other thing that came up that I hate with a passion about it is the carriage races, but I’ve hated pretty much every race in every AC game as well, so it’s not exclusive; I hate them in GTA, too.
Once this is done, aside from continuing to work on Freelancer of course, I’ll be turning my attention to the three Chronicles games, which shouldn’t take too long, and then onward to the very reason I decided to finally begin playing this series: the RPG trilogy. Can’t wait.

Sniper Elite 4, while alone, and trying to maintain as much stealth as possible, plus completing as many of a level’s challenges at once, makes the game very slow and methodical. Which I liked!
I’ve mostly been playing the campaign in co-op with @.Silvereyes, but I wanted to try out a level just on my lonesome and I quite enjoyed it, plus figuring out ways to finish all those specific challenges!
(I killed every soldier, but not enough with an SMG so I’ll have to do that another time then.)
The game is basically like an open-world, Italian Colorado if I were to use Hitman WoA terms lol.
You’re in constant hostile territory and have to sneak around, take out people silently or under cover of noise, slip away if you get spotted and make your way through some massive levels.
Plus there’s plenty of tools and ways to distract enemies to get them isolated.
I really enjoyed the verticality and how many places you can climb up and around to get good vantage points or sneak in.
Overall, cool experience, but I definitely could have been quicker if I wasn’t so focused on doing everything in the level hehe
Here’s a few moments of me dying in silly ways and taking out the last target in a cool-ish way.
(Weird how explosions go through walls in this game)
This is the trophy for completing a level without using a healing item. But also for being a badass obviously!

Haha nice one. I myself played Sniper Elite 3 a little and came to a similar conclusion. “Absolution but with no disguises and with fancy sniper ballistics” is how I used to refer to it

Recently started Dying Light 2 and it’s decent so far.
The main quest centers around the main character Aiden’s quest to find his sister, who he was separated from as a child I think.
But I honestly could care less about the sister. There’s very little reason given to be interested in her and she’s essentially relegated to a flashback-macguffin.
The first game was basic, but didn’t take itself seriously IMO. The sequel really feels like it’s trying to, meanwhile I just can’t get attached. None of the characters have wowed me so far and I’ve heard its a mixed bag overall.
The parkour is pretty fun, just running around, jumping between buildings. There’s a more realistic and faster momentum-based system they added with updates, so it feels a little superhuman but a lot less “moon-jumping” than I’d heard.
The combat is just kinda meh? I find that enemies grapple me way too often, randomly, for whatever reason. Obviously I’m still at the start of the game so the enemies feel damage-spongey, but it’s something I’d rather avoid and run around instead.
Also you start with such little health and horribly puny health kits that take forever to use… ugh.
As for the bad, the game is way too RPG-like. Jeez, so many crafting systems, so many grind-intensive upgrades and resources to hunt for, meaningless stat bonuses and a horribly complicated menu system especially for the different Gear slots to cycle through.
Weirdly the protagonist sounds 90% similar to the previous game’s.
It’s an entirely different character voiced by an entirely different person (Jonah Scott), but it’s so uncannily similar to Roger Craig Smith’s performance that I’m so confused what the voice direction was for this…
The map is in 3D and takes a weird second to load in the pause menu. It’s too annoying. No minimap too, locating nearby objectives or encounters can be tough.
The writing is also just… bad? There’s a dialogue tree system but everything is written so repetitively.
Near the start you enter a conversation where you’re told you can’t get into the Bazaar without a Biomarker bracelet. If you ask about the Bazaar, you’re reminded again that they don’t let people in without Biomarkers. If you continue the conversation, it is mentioned for a third time that you need a Biomarker to get into the Bazaar… yeah! I get it?!
The flashbacks with the sister are annoying and tropey. The voice-acting and relationship between kid Aiden and kid Sister are poorly developed or written. “Aidenbobaiden” is constantly used by the sister at the start of every scene, I’m just… so confused and couldn’t care less about this “hook” lol.
The side quests, from what I’ve heard have very similar situations and have horribly contrived resolutions.
One I just experienced was warning some guy about Poisoned Water he bought, and his wife told me to get him to drink booze to clear the poison out.
“What? No way, my wife doesn’t love me anyway.” The guy says.
“Here, you shoud drink this to save you, your wife told me so.” I say.
“Really? Shit! I guess my wife loves me after all! Thanks!” The guy says.
…Wh-what the hell was that??
Many side missions follow this relationship and resolution formula alledgedly, its weird to think about.
I watched this great review by Purposeless Rabbitholes before starting (maybe not the best idea as it could have coloured my views on it prematurely) just to compare and hear thoughts on the Launch Day parkour/combat and Night systems vs. my own impressions on how I’ve heard they “fixed” it this year.
I’m still pretty early on so while I’m a little unimpressed so far, I’ve heard once you get out of the first mini-open-world area, the gameplay at least gets great.
Plus, the more skills I unlock the more fun I should have. It just sucks to feel so limited and underpowered after all my knowledge of the original DL1

100%ed Death’s Door. An amazing and charming game. Difficult but not insurmountable.
Played a couple hours of Lies of P and uninstalled. I’m not a Souls Guy. I don’t have the time to commit to something like this. Beautiful game though.
Started Bramble The Mountain King last night. As Frost from Second Wind recently put it, it’s a “go-to-the-right-em-up” in the vein of Inside, etc. I like this kind of game. This one has a unique aesthetic and creepy fairytale vibe that I’m on board for.
Also started Uncharted The Lost Legacy. Just inject Naught Dog games into my blood please.

The Lego Fortnite game-mode came out today, and apparently there’s a large amount of characters in Fortnite Lego-fied already. Even Licensed cosmetics.
Some are customs, most are simple reskins.
Unfortunately my robo-chicken Sentinel from the OG Season 9 battle pass is a reskin (for now I hope?)
Lady in a white jumpsuit with a chrome face and a Red baseball cap. Boom. Robo Chicken?
Lol no but thanks for trying.

I cannot even imagine. Despite being musically inclined, I am so bad at hitting the beat and making combos in this game. The game is so forgiving though, as it wants every player to have FUN, that I still get mostly As, sometimes Bs.
Once I stopped criticizing myself for not being good enough, I was able to just focus on having fun. The game is superbly balanced.

The fight with Mimosa and Kale were very hard. I have a hard time keeping up the rhytmn with the spin music of Mimosa but Kale was easier one you notice his patterns(also the Nine Inch Nails song helps motivate).
I never really played rhytmn games before HFR but dunno. This one is very special that I was willing to learn to “G1T GUD.”

Me and @TheChicken have been playing Sniper Elite 4. It’s alot of fun. The main campaign can be done entirely in 2 player co-op, and it works great having someone to back you up when stealth inevitably goes wrong. There’s also a mode where the 2 players are forced to split up, one stuck up high with the sniper rifle whilst another is on the ground without a sniper rifle but is the only one can tag enemies, it requires a bit of coordination. And there’s a survival wave mode too, that was fun to try but got very difficult very quickly with enemies just coming at you very aggressively.
Great time. Think we’re going to pick up the season pass and at some point Sniper Elite 5 whenever they go on sale.
Also dipped my toes into the Yakuza series for the first time. I own like 5 Yakuza games on Steam from various Humble Bundles over the years. Started with the remake of the first Yakuza game. It’s alot of fun but I also suck at it. I actually quite like the story, a crime mystery plot about revenge and stolen money and lots of people being punched and shot, it’s fun. And there is the goofier stuff that you can do on the side like slot car racing, using an arcade claw machine, play billiards, mahong, and lots of other side activies you can partake in if you wish.

F*** this puzzle
and F*** this bridge
I F***ing hate it so, so much oh my gaaahd
This thing took forever
And the controls are SO SLOW HOLY-
(Connect pieces in a specific order to form a bridge, you have to rearrange pieces to connect them 2/3-at-a-time, if they don’t “link” or you break the chain, your partner dies and the puzzle is reset.)
