Sooo, actually installed the massive Hyades Rim mod for HBS Battletech, and boy does it completely change the game for the better. Higher difficulty, a lot more narrative elements, much more of an atmosphere of being stuck in the boonies and having to make do with little to nothing. Highly...

So far I'm loving Assassin's Creed Odyssey, most likely because where I'm at in the game it simply isn't an Assassin's Creed game, but an action Rpg set in the Peloponnesian War. None of the Templar-Assassin crap, way more freedom, too. I wish Ubisoft would concentrate more on that, or do actual...

Remembered I had bought Assassin's Creed Odyssey ages ago in a Steam sale. Now I finally have a better graphics card and gave it a try. Boy, is that game beautiful!

Yeah, difficulty is really arbitrary, or rather, it's location-based rather than plot-progression based. Which, I assume, is fine enough for an open world game like MW5. But what bothers me is that you have the core concept of HBS Battletech, ie. you own/manage a mercenary company, but none of...

Been playing MW5 in the career mode recently. God, that game has absolutely no narrative depth to any of its missions. As fun as the combat is, the worldbuilding, or rather, the lack of making use of BTech's great worldbuilding aside from the most superficial mission design, is incredibly...

Honestly, much of the graphics is still decent, especially the foliage. And the writing even for the small quests? *chef's kiss* It feels very much like Lord of the Rings, and is the best antidote to Rings of Power.

Re-installed Lord of the Rings Online after a 14 year hiatus. Oh boy, I'm in love again.

Huh, I'm currently playing both: a Rimworld colony and a HBS Battletech career run. Really enjoying those Flashpoint missions.

Playing the HBS Battletech game again, on and off, now in the career mode. Found that one to be a good deal harder than the difficulty during the campaign. Can't even remember how often I've had to restart a mission by now as the AI just keeps throwing enemy lances at you out of the blue. Still...

I think I'm going to pass on Weird West. While it looks interesting, some of the negative reviews really have settled it for me. Especially this one: copied from Steam. Which is a damn shame. Too few good western themed games out there.

I'm looking forward to Weird West, but I'll wait for the reviews before buying it.

It's a shame. There's so much you can do with the setting and lore. Vast quantities of individual diversity in the most positive way, different architectural styles, worlds, climates, gravities (!), weather systems. You'll find glimpses of that here and then in the game, and some mods help to...

I just started playing Mechwarrior 5, and if it wasn't for my love for the setting I'd put it squarely in the 'Meh' - category. The missions feel small and uninspired so far, and the graphics could as well have been from a game published in 2014. I got some visual and environmental mods, but...

Back to playing Stoneshard after it's gotten the largest update yet: The City of Gold. It's definitely improved on the balancing issues and added tons of content. Individual ability trees still need more work, there are more enemy subtypes and special enemies in the game, new terrain, new...

I forgot that I had Stoneshard in my library, which has been an early acces game for quite some time now. Stoneshard is one of those games that you'd just love to like, but just can't bring yourself to do so. It's got a gorgeous grafics style, nice ambient music, a great tutorial, and an...

Yes, loved that game back in the day. It would have done a lot better commercially if it hadn't been an Xbox exclusive first.

I've again picked up Ultimate General: Civil War lately, which I suppose is the graphical and spiritual successor to games like Sid Meier's Gettysburg. By and large I love the game (I prefer playing the Union, by the way). It has a decent variety of units, a large variety of weapons, good...

The second game's weak point really was Lara's lack of character development. So much happened in the first one, and very little of that was picked up in the second one.

I've started the demo of War Mongrels, which gameplay-wise you could call a spriritual succesor to the old "Commando" games. Pretty dark game. Starts out with two Wehrmacht guys pushed into desertion through circumstances, and has a very cool cutscene art style.

Got Assassin's Creed Odyssey at a Steam sale, so I'm going to look to spend some time with that.
