I saw Konjad mentioning this title not so long ago... and it inspired me.
It struck me like a lightning bolt from the sky... (I didn't die).

Time to relieve this absolute superior polish localisation of the original BG 1.
Super excited to get into sleepy mood before heading to bed...here it comes...

Just completed it yesterday. Great game, it remains the best Bioware product. Have fun, I enjoyed re-exploring the world like it was 1999 again.

I just finished BG1, went to BG2 and... unfortunately I decided to start ToB... what a letdown at the end... It's like playing EoB 3 after 1 and 2.

BG2 is already an enormous decline (and I'm replaying it right now).

Bioware itself is.

"First-person booter" where your main weapon is a kick and there are a lot convenient wall spikes and wood chippers around. Expected humor to be grating but the main character suprisingly doesn't talk that often and gags while being in the "not really that funny" territory are kinda amusing.
The level after tutorial is pretty open and big with a bunch of stuff to find.
Probably the last demo for now. Probably.
Edit: forgot to add that i didn't enjoy parkour parts as much as the combat itself.


First-person Action/Puzzle/RPG/whatever about playing as a disembodied ego that can possess various electronics and robots.
I can see why people were praising it, it has that classic Deus Ex "here are your tools, here is a big level to explore, go and complete objectives" kind of gameplay.
Currently playing it slowly in between other things, not sure what upgrades i should buy with my MEMs.

And the last one i started wasting my time on is Kingsblood. Saw Taka-Haradin puolipeikko posting some screens right before it got delisted from steam.

Auto Chess combat + grimdark fantasy rpg + Synty asset pack graphics, yeah.
Actually found myself liking it so far. Gameplay loop has a nice flow to it.

I have been focusing on two games over the last month: Underrail and Factorio: Space Age. Both of these games are addicting as hell. Factorio appeals to my creative desires and compulsion for efficiency in a way no other simulation game has ever managed. Underrail is full of so many things to discover that I often ignore quests and just roam the world. The only fault I have with Underrail is the in-game economy being unbalanced. If it weren't for the jetskis in Expedition I would have been out of things to spend money on by level 15. Does higher difficulties effect the economy in any way?

As far as boomer shooters go, this one may be my favorite one.
The good:
-10/10 art direction
-Pretty good metal soundtrack that reminds me of Painkiller
-The weapons are excellent and there's 10+ of them
-The best revolver of all time, haven't seen such a powerful handgun since the first Halo
-Huge variety of enemies
The bad:
-It loves to throw you into Doom Eternal style arenas, and some of these are complete bullshit with projectile spamming enemies coming from 7 different sides at the same time
-The early levels have unexplainable shitty performance
-There's a book that you can activate to give you a damage boost. It can be upgraded with a huge variety of extra effects, but you are pretty much forced to pick all the health-related powers, trust me.
-Memes. The first two levels specially are just filled with reddit-tier posters of Cthulhu
-Completely nonsensical story and incongruent levels. Like: botanic garden-->artic installation-->descend into ancient city--->suddenly we're in Egypt
-That one Super Mario boss that wants you to chase it while sending platforms in your direction and bouncers, while an electric wall follows you from very close. That motherfucker took nearly all ammunition from all of my weapons to kill, hardest and most annoying part of the game by a titanic distance.

A very good game. Just needed more polish.

Bloodrayne. Good, schlocky, janky fun. Starts off strong with the atmosphere and some of the music sounds like it's from VTMB. It mixes up the enemy variety but I think I've seen enough of Nazi bases by now and I'm not even done with the area yet. Least fun bits are some worm enemies thst you can't reliably tell you're hitting and that have quite a bit of health. I couldn't figure out the hook jump attack yet and they tied a power attack to the same key Rayne's big damage cooldown is on so it's really easy to fuck it up. The game starts off trivially easy but it does pick up considerably, I had my first deaths three hours in when the game took my guns away.

Oh yeah, booba and jiggle galore, which immediately earns the game high marks compared to modern garbo. :incline:



Awesome game.
I like it a lot despite some minor issues. I think it could've used some more combos and the ability to block melee attacks, but you do have a slow motion ability which is pretty cool.
