Portal 2 is worth it 
that is, if you enjoyed Portal 1 
it’s set in the same facility, after the destructive events of the first game, so the environment feels familiar yet different

Great games. Shame neither are available on PS plus.

Alan Wake Remastered. Great story, characters, voice acting, music. Love the setting and ideas. Just wish the actual gameplay was as good. Still glad I played this, but I also can’t imagine ever wanting to replay it.

Well that is every mainline GTA from Vice to V completely done (more or less) so bring on VI.

Resident Evil 3 remake. I recently played 2 through once again and absolutely love that game.
As short as 3 is, it’s still incredible and the intro with Nemisis is superb.

Nearing the end of the Gizeh chapter in Indy and the Great Circle, I really loved this scene confronting the main bad guy. Absolute slapstick combat fun, very in-line with the series.
The guy playing Voss has such a good grasp of acting ridiculous even when it’s to mock and get more power over others. Menacing in a quiet way because he knows everyone else is beneath him.

Finished The Outer Worlds 2 earlier this month. I think it’s very good. My tastes veer towards immersive sim, interacting systems games, and TOW2 is very much a conversation tree, looting crafting modding shooter. It has a lot of flexibility with combat, lots of dialogue outcomes and lasting impressions with characters, and allows for a little creativity of approach with missions.
It does not however really let you interact with the physical space of the world beyond talking or killing creatures and npcs, some light platforming, and the occasional environmental puzzle. For example, blasting some doors requires the “explosives” trait, and if you don’t have this trait, throwing grenades at the door will not cut it. Which is fine. Just understand that that’s the kind of interactive world this game presents. If you can accept that, the game is great fun. And the companions are not as bad and bland as the collective gamersphere would have you believe.
Now I am playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. It is excellent. This is the most perfect palate cleanser Metroidvania after the brutal exercise in alternating masochism and joy that was Silksong. The game is fluid, fun, forgiving, creative, expansive, efficient, and addictive. The gameplay is impeccably well designed and the biomes are beautiful and unique. If you like Metroidvanias, don’t miss this one.
I grew up on PoP – and when I say that, I mean the original, and The Shadow and The Flame on Apple Macintosh©, which was me and my brother’s JAM. I also played The Sands of Time and Warrior Within later on. And I was already on-and-off playing The Rogue Prince of Persia (which is also very good). I don’t want to give Ubisoft too much credit, as I do not really like their tentpole games… but they published two great titles with these recent PoP games.

Are those games that have mass market appeal at the expense of creative originality, but prop up the studio so it’s in a position to gamble with new ideas?
That’s a valid way of looking at it.
I seeee. I wasn’t being sarcastic by the way, I really hadn’t heard the term before
I have ONE tarot card I need to unlock in Cult of the Lamb before I can get the platinum trophy! It spawns in a random “?” Room with this Moth (that I’ve never seen despite finishing the game) and I’ve been having the worst luck just save-scumming to save time on starting crusades!
AAAGH it’s driving me crazyyyy.
(I hope to get the platinum before tomorrow when Woolhaven DLC comes out, in case they add more free cards in an update or something, since in each major “Free Major update” they released for the game, had some new content be required for base achievements, meaning the quota to get it got longer and longer…)

Do you think Jacques de Molay used this excuse at his trial for heresy?
“Hon hon, monsieur judge-man, I am not a Baphomet worshipping heretic it is just that these things take time. You know?”

Stupid fucking wheel! The little white ball is taking all of my fucking time and money. I need that money for eye surgery, sarsaparilla, rifle mods and microfusion cells.
