I‘ve picked up Rogue Legacy 2 again and love 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 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.

I’ve been going back through Borderlands 2. Lack of convenient* fast travel and AI issues have not aged well, but overall it is fun.

*yes, it has fast travel stations but sometimes far away. The same with vehicle stations. Sometimes you are just running around.
