Loving Starfield. I'm on NG+2

I'm actually in the middle of my first NG+ on that, I decided to put it down and play some other stuff until the next few updates drop, specially the first expansion this year.  Once that's out I'll finish up my NG+ and then I'll start NG+2 with the new expansion ready to go.

I finished Sea of Stars and I'm on my 3rd NG+ for Lies of P.  Once I'm done with that I'll look for something else, heck I might go back and grab the CP2077 expansion and play that.    I really don't want to start it all over though but with all the changes they did I feel like I have to.

I had death stranding in my backlog since I got it for free and finally decided to play it.  The story is interesting and it plays good but I seriously lost interest in doing many of the side orders halfway through the game.  I now find myself wanting to move things along faster so I can get it over with. 

 

As much good as it has going for it, it's padded to the brim with repetitive quests that get boring quick. 

I'm going to do whatever story orders are left so I can get this over with.  It's a 8/10 at best if I had to give it a score.

I thought it was a fantastic game, I recommend building all the roads and your zip line network asap if you haven't already.

I'm trying to get into Rimworld thanks to some friends harping on about it. But it's pretty complex so I'm struggling to find the time to properly sit down with it.

I also picked up Inscryption the other day. I loved Pony Island, so I'm looking forward to a similar mind-bending, fourth wall breaking experience... :laugh:

I got a confirmation email this morning that my new laptop is being prepared, so when that gets here I'll be looking into picking up Helldivers 2.

I'm giving A Plague Tale: Innocence ago on PS5.

How is it? I could not last past first 1.5 hours in both games, but it happened to other good games and I eventually pushed through and got into it - I wonder it this will also be the case here.

(I am talking both plague games - both I tried and both could not enjoy enough not to drop)

 

I am playing rise of Ronin - not too bad but far less impressive that I hoped it would be - fell for hype this time - still fun but I would have skipped it if I knew how the experience would be and consider it on sale in a year or so

After playing the last 3 Tomb Raider games back to back and Platinuming 2 of them I needed something relaxing and so far it's doing its task and it's showcasing the PS5 on my top of the range mini led TV image wise which TR didn't do so I'm chilling with it while off work this week.

Been playing Resident Evil Village on my Steam Deck the past few days.  It has actually been running quite good.  Even docked at 1080p with HDR enabled and medium to high settings the game mostly holds between 40-60 fps with occasional dips into the 30s if you're looking at a wide open area.  Obviously in handheld mode it stays locked at 60, or seems like it does anyway.  I've been really enjoying it.

Really enjoyed it, it's a bit grimm but I'm glad I didn't pass it up only 2 chapters left before I go back for the trophy clean up.

Currently Avatar frontiers of Pandora PC (very buggy, crashes quite a lot and requires the switching out of game files to even get it running for more than 30 seconds at a time) - fun but wouldn't buy it for PC given my time again!

Alan Wake 2 (PC) - looks awesome, quite fun but frustrating so can't play for huge sessions at a time!

Callisto Protocol on PS5, enjoying it but can't play when the kids are around!

Finally Diablo 4 (PC) as it is now on Gamepass, I'm a few hours in and it's nice but not my normal style of game, I'll give it a bit longer but I'm not sure this one is for me!

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
