League of Legends and I regret every moment of it.

Having something of a bumper week (yay for annual leave).

I’ve played (and finished) Supbar Pool and Strange Horticulture

Subpar Pool is a golf/pool mashup that is super fun, and SH scratches an itch that I didn’t realise i needed to scratch.

Working through Cyberpunk & DLC and Lords of the Fallen (2023). Cyberpunk is probably the most beautiful game I’ve played with the path tracing updates. LOTF is a pretty competent souls clone. Got some interesting ideas. I hope they continue to patch it as quickly as they are to bring it up to par.

I’ve been hooked on Moonring.

It makes me look back at really old cRPGs and remember what made them so compelling, and it has all of the QoL upgrades and game systems of the past 40 or so years to inform the design.

Also it’s free. So, so good.

I’ve been really into Astroneer and Lords of the Fallen. Astroneer hits that base builder/exploring itch and its super chill atmosphere is just great. Lords of the Fallen, its great in many ways. Though there are many “my first game” vibes. Your player 2 being teleported to you, good idea but bad in practice, no HUD indicators for other players, and whatever is going on with the level design makes me feel like I’m lost under the covers. I do like it a lot, and the patches helped, but there are some poor choices in there.
