  • I will go against most opinions and I would say give it a try.

    My friends who are into the book quoted much more from the second and style-wise I can tell you this: I LOVED the first one. I HATED the second one.

    So, since the book seems really to be about deception, war and religion (the last 2 I despise to see in movies because I find them boring as hell), I could suggest you watch it.









  • Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

    2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

    If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.





  • I stay away from driving simulators mostly because I hate cars in general, unless it’s Quarantine or Carmageddon.

    Making something VR compatible games pushes towards certain design choices that empoverish the desktop experience.

    I have heard great things of Senua’s Sacrifice, but I downprioritized it for years now exactly due to that design aspect.

    The problem is the kind of stuff the industry tries to take shortcuts on.

    I decided to apply some filters in my choices and quality of entertainment went up by a lot:

    1. No Open World
    2. No Multiplayer-focused
    3. Has to be a valuable experience on Easy
    4. (Of course) no prepaid and no Early Access
    5. No VR-compatible

    Other than that, I am a patient gamer, I play all kinds of genres, just a bit less on the RPG and strategy side, and I like to support Indie developers by paying their games full price and kickstarting them.

    I am ok with playing short games if the experience and polish is there and I never do completions. I also buy very few DLCs and only if they add single player campaigns.

    Do this and I am quite sure you will fall in love with gaming again.
