My friend and I finished 100%ing Slay the Princess.

Highly recommend. The writing is fantastic and all the different routes feel distinct and rewarding to explore. Go into it blind!

Baldur’s Gate 3* coop, we’re in Act 2. For some reason my friend started a fight, inside the throne room at Moonrise Towers, while surrounded by 20 enemies, half HP and no spells. We died, and because he hadn’t saved in an hour, we have to do some stuff again.

Then I finished the Solasta: Crown of the Magister - Palace of Ice* DLC. It’s definitely the weakest campaign for me (base game and two DLC). The final dungeon was also pretty disappointing, but I liked the very final decision you had to do.

Then I started the Baldurs Gate - Siege on Dragonspear DLC. I played the base game a year ago for the first time, and I think the game didn’t age well at all, and this DLC doesn’t improve things. I’m close to the end, but I really don’t like how it’s playing out right now, and I don’t care about the story at all.

  The SoD expansion was made by Beamdog some 15 years after BG1 was released. It’s admirable that they tried getting the original voice actors back, but otherwise the team behind BG 1&2 (and ToB) had nothing to do with it. I couldn’t get through it, and I have a hard time supporting the Enhanced Editions as is due to Beamdog inserting their fanfiction into them as well - though I recognise they’ve been instrumental in revamping the engine and bringing the games to a new generation of people.

    Yeah, I knew it was released later and that at least the Steam Reviews are only mixed. Still, I didn’t think it would be such a waste of time.

The last month I have played Brighter Shores for something more relaxed (some would say brain dead when it comes to levelling skills) and
a game beta under NDA for harder stuff.

In the recent steam sale I grabbed a bunch of games, the last few days I have been sinking time into Shapez and Shapez 2. Building and optimising without cost or survival is my jam, even more than I thought.

This Friday Path of Exile 2 goes into early access and I will take at least a look at it, though likely start on Saturday.

Really into Mario and Luigi Brothership, really fun game, trying to get into Bazaar, but man I just can’t get any good builds going, and loving Baluders Gate 3 coop, I’ve made it to act 3 but never finished but it’s fun doing light trolling to the people I’m playing with

I’ve been continuing Etrian Odyssey, but I’ve gotten a bit stuck on a floor so I’m taking a short break. With the current sale I got Core Keeper and Blue Revolver, both of which I’m enjoying (although I’ve been mostly playing Core Keeper). Meanwhile I’ve been playing Balatro, but already gotten a bit bored - I’m not really a fan of how roguelikes are structured.

I’ve also bought a bunch of games during this sale (and have others from the previous one I still haven’t played).

A steam friend gifted me Achron and Takedown:Red Sabre from his steam inventory. I’m thinking of trying them and seeing how they’re designed. Other than that, maybe some Serious Sam Classic 1 or some other old thing.

My in-laws were here so I couldn’t spend a lot of time at the PC, so I started Untitled Space Idler. I like number go up.

We’re reaching the end of the current season of THE FINALS, so I’ve been grinding for the last seasonal reward skin tier.

I’ve been kind of down on myself for getting sucked in to the seasonal cycle of modern FPS games and letting my single player stuff lay neglected, but the finals is such a phenomenal shooter I can’t help myself. I alternate between wanting more people to play and experience it because of how good it is, to being happy it’s small and not inundated with people. While the community can be a bit toxic, I get matched with a lot more just generally chill people than not, and more people on mic communicating about the game than I can remember in a really long time.

I need to get around to finishing bg3, and cp2077 now that I have a new gpu.

I got paychonauts on a steam sale a few years ago and still need to get around to it also, thanks for the reminder.
