What games have you been playing?

I imagine with everyone locked down at home, that some serious game-time might be happening. What have you been playing?

I've put a bunch of time into Hitman 2 lately, even before the COVID-19 crisis. The series has really gotten good, it's so solid and so rich and deep that each map / level is like it's own game. There's a progression of exploring, learning and exploiting what I've learn... once I have a good portion of a level figured out (between layout and NPC behaviour / activities). It's also kind of amusing to me how I'm a pacifist in real life, but I can get into the very methodical ways of Agent 47 diabolically taking out his targets.

There are other games I've tried lately, but I'll pass the topic onto the next person...

Ogopogoelmo Which Witcher game did you try starting with? I played all of 1 but it's very dated and clunky (enjoyed the story), I found 2 not my thing and 3 I was a bit overwhelmed but will probably play at some point.

I almost did the opposite, I picked up Sims 4 just a little while ago, but then fired up Witcher 3-- but then nope, Hitman 2 instead. I should be playing Half-Life: Alyx (VR) because by accounts it's amazing and I love the Half-Life series, but I'll wait a bit first.

I finished Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, which is probably one of the best games ever and everyone should play it. It's fucking beautiful, great story as well as game play. It fucks with you in so many ways, and if defiantly one I will play again.

Also finished A Plagues Tail - Innocence. That one actually delivers the story really well, and makes you relate with the characters. Its game play mechanics are pretty rad, and I think switches things up just enough that it never becomes stale. Wasn't a super fan of the ending personally but still overall enjoyed it.

NOW I'm playing Styx master of shadows as i figured I would play that before Styx shards of darkness. It's a little hard as I find it a bit clunky, which is probably it showing its age heh. But sneaky smart ass goblins? Yea, that's a weakness as some know hahahaha.
