Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition (Completed, sort of)

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.

Amid Evil (Completed)

by Chezni

Oh gosh. It’s like someone whose brain has been turned off has turned off someone’s brain that turned off MY BRAIN. ….admittedly, that sounded funnier in my head. I’m going to blame Amid Evil for aforementionedly, turning off my brain.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition

by LepcisMagna

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.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

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.

Contradiction – Spot the Liar!

by LepcisMagna

Above, Inspector Jenks being his usual, almost excessively, debonair self. Contradiction is an FMV game along the lines of Phoenix Wright, except that you’re a police inspector and not trying to fight against the most inhumane court system imaginable.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

by LepcisMagna

I’m still not sure I like Horizon: Zero Dawn, though I’ve played for almost 8 hours now, I’m barely out of the starting area, and I have materials enough to supply arrows for a small army.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

by LepcisMagna

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is pitched as a low fantasy RPG where you play as just “a guy” in medieval times. I’m not usually one to play such games, but Bannerlord (which I still think back to, despite the faults I pointed out) made me reconsider – after all, clawing your way up from serfdom sounded vaguely interesting. Sadly, what I got was yet another “cinematic” experience with frustrating gameplay – and I didn’t even get to the combat. I suppose my run of luck with good games had to end sometime.

Outer Wilds

by LepcisMagna

“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.
