Darkest Dungeon (Completed)

by LepcisMagna 
The impenetrable game to end all impenetrable games. The game that randomly generates worlds, monsters, cultures, people, events, dances, books, and more. The game that has inspired a whole subgenre of games and countless tales – involving goblins, lava, elephants, and – of course – dwarves. The game that was banned from /r/nocontext posts for just being cheating. The game the author joked was more about watching it be played than actually playing it.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition (Completed, sort of)
by LepcisMagna 
Where to begin? I’m not sure I can say. On the one hand, I spent all of my waking hours for almost two weekends (and much of the time during the week) playing just this game. On the other, I started keeping a text file on my computer of all the things that annoyed me so I wouldn’t forget them when I wrote this review – now I only need to figure out if I can fit them all in this review. It’s going to be a long one.

On the one hand, this game has fairly frequent bugs (or seeming bugs) and lacks polish in a lot of places. On the other, I’ve played it for 45 of the last 60 hours. So … Tier One, I guess? Full review to follow, once I’ve completed it.
Monster Hunter: World
by LepcisMagna 
I have no idea what I think of this game. For that matter, I’m not sure when I will know what I think of this game. I’m only writing this because it seems like it might be tens of hours before I can really make a determination and I don’t want to be thinking of writing this impression that entire time. But I’ll do my best here for now.

by LepcisMagna 
Sekiro is a very different game from the rest of the Souls-likes, though I suppose you could say that about every From Software game. There is only one primary weapon. There is no jolly cooperation. You have a grappling hook and climbing mechanics. You can…stealth? This is a weird game.

“And on far-off Earth, Dr. Carlisle Perera had as yet told no one how he had wakened from a restless sleep with the message from his subconscious still echoing in his brain: The Ramans do everything in threes.”
–Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke
That’s classic science fiction there. And I dare say this is some classic science fiction right here.

Am I just here to play clones of Legend of Grimrock, FTL, and Dark Souls? Maybe. I don’t know any more.

Is this basically someone’s custom DOOM .wad made after watching Mandy? Yes. Do I particularly care? No. Why? Well, among other things, I was having so much fun that I forgot to take screenshots until well into the first chapter. Plus, you get to dual wield scythes.
There’s really not too much more to say, other than guessing what “Morale” is or how it affects gameplay (Edit: it functions as armor, halving damage taken). Amusingly, I only purchased this because it was in a bundle with AMID EVIL (also fun, but not quite as pure as this). Tier One.
Edit 2020-07-08: Having made it through Chapter 1, I’m finding Chapter 2 even more enjoyable. This is an excellent game.
