I've been continuing on both the games I last mentioned. In UFO 50 , I have finally started every game except Night Manor (I'm mostly playing in front of kids now, while I think it's not graphically intense like Fist Hell, it's likely too atmospherically intense). In RTK8R, I made a Liu Shan analogu...

I've finished two rounds of RTK8R after the one noted above. In only one of them did I actually clear the map - Remake has "regional endings" and "officer endings" so once you reach a certain point you can effectively wrap up the game and get any carry-over rewards (mostly new sc...

Been playing a bit more UFO 50 . As I've dug deeper into Grimstone, I can appreciate what it does but it is still a bit too tedious for me. My fighter/tank, Bull, is just not very effective anymore. Shotguns are not great as they can't crit, haven't seen a good pistol in awhile, and rifles are trick...

While I've been continuing UFO 50 , on vacation last week I grabbed my Switch for the road instead. Sailing Era remained in the back of my mind and the $6 DLC had been calling to me for most of a year. While it's mostly "more of the same", the DLC story gets going faster and doesn't tutori...

Interesting, good to know. I've had my eye on it for a while, mainly because it's developed by Derek Yu et al, but one of my main concerns with a compilation of so many minigames is that they would be too mini (not enough depth to stay interesting for too long). So I'm glad to hear that's not neces...

I didn't think I would do this, but I kind of dropped Divinity: Original Sin 2. I think the main reason I lost interest was that I felt like my characters were really unoptimized, but then when I re-configured them a bit they could no longer use their skills, and getting skillbooks is kind of an ord...

I finished A Logical Magician (delayed slightly as one of my kids was frightened by the cover, which has a kind of electric demon getting sucked into a computer... I sometimes read in their room as they're going to sleep). It's about what I remembered, a bit of a fun romp with a few interesting idea...

I am really bad at strategizing in these kinds of games, though. It's really tough, and the best strategy can fall prey to the luck of the draw. You have to hedge your bets a bit early on, and the difference between a great run and an early loss can be finding the right card/relic to unlock a strat...

That's pretty expensive. Most people who have a PS5 probably wouldn't spend $700 USD (or the trade-in differential) to upgrade, and most who don't have one yet were probably not committing for price reasons rather than graphics/performance reasons. I'm out of the Playstation ecosystem for now, thoug...

Nearly a month later, I've dropped most of last month's games and picked up some new ones. Ember Knights is still in the running as we "beat" it once, but it appears to do a "pick difficulty upgrade" challenge. We're still unlocking relics, upgrading weapons and skills etc so I'm...
