thumper was by far the biggest disappointment last year. What a piece of shit game that doesn't even test musical rhythm like it purported to do. Billed itself as "cool, alien, industrial amplitude" and instead it was about 1000x less fun that the new amplitude, even considering how bad harmonix fucked up the music

 

 

you already posted this but no, it's actually a really fun game.

 

Yeah I've really enjoyed it too - 'especially for only 10 quid (think I got it in early access so was a bit cheaper)

I'm playing Life Is Strange. Just started episode 5. I'm too old for all the teenage emo commentary, but the game is pretty cool regardless.

 

 

I loved that game - even though it was very teenage-y.

Aaah...

just finished Playdead's Inside.  what an interesting game.  not quite sure how to describe it outside of 'wow'.

sometimes I fire up Life is Strange just to listen to the theme song. Loved that game.

Well then get ready for me to post it again in 2 months

Dark Souls 3's second DLC is damn FINE. They really put more work into this one.

^ I'm holding out for the Fire Fades edition.

Have you played their other game, Limbo? Both are excellent games.

Hahahaha... yeah, but it'll make you feel like the world's smartest person.

Despite solving all of these type of puzzles

- I still struggle to wrap my head around the sun/star/landmine type ones !

i was waiting for witness to be sub $20 before i bit and it has been a few times in recent weeks. but now i'm requiring that i beat talos principle first. got through a lot of it really fast when i first bought it (beating both portals before is good training for these kinds of puzzles) but then it started taking me a good bit more time to solve each puzzle and then i just forgot about it...

*not clicking on the spoiler*

 

The last full run of puzzles I solved were the Desert Ruins. I'm onto these tree puzzles at the moment and, yeah, they're pretty clever.

Ah no, the one with coloured * symbols that look like the mines in Minesweeper - Think they get properly introduced in the treehouse. Currently clocking in at 56 hours with 485 (+33) puzzles solved, though haven't played it for a couple of months

 

EDIT: Now 490 (+35) - damnit, forgot how addictive this thing was...

Ugh! Stupid World of Warcraft and it having a new patch released today. I re-subbed and am just trying to play it in a relaxed, no stress manner. I like that you don't have to do raid content to get geared now. You can just do Mythic+ Dungeons for consistent good gear, and almost any gear has a chance to randomly be forged into something great. I doubt I'll be subbed for too long as I have other games to play.

 

Mass Effect Andromeda is a ton of fun so far. I'm really hoping the hilarious animation glitches happen in the romance scenes. I really like the RPG elements taking a bigger spot in this one. First game to come out that makes my PC chug a fair bit at Ultra+1080p settings. I still run it at that, as it'll only dip to around 40fps here and there while in gameplay.

 

I'll have to check out The Witness. Seems intriguing, not to mention purty.

I'm way too many hours into Mass Effect and my completion is only at 34%... Part of me wants to see the ending already but I keep getting distracted by all the side quests. These planets are 2cool4me.

I wish the side quests were more interesting than a bunch of fetch quests where you spend forever traveling to scan x number of things.

 

Don't even get me started on the dinos, rock trolls, rhinos and bugs that inhabit every planet. Worst fucking creature design since generic MMO number six billion, it's like they didn't even try.

Plenty of side quests that are not that...
