I absolutely loved Portal and Portal 2, finally got around to playing the free Portal Stories: Mel

Some real brain teasers, had to get a couple of hints at one point but eventually managed to finish it ... superb for a free game!

[BanditsHigh]

Went back and played Portal ... finished and a lot easier than Mel ... will play Portal 2 again next I think.

Contraband Police. 3D version of "Papers Please" but slightly reminiscent of the janky charm of "My Summer Car".

Portal: Revolution ... another free game, absolutely fantastic ... just as good as the originals

[BanditsHigh]

Portal 2 ... still as good as ever

Found another six games on Steam which are standalone Portal 2 mods I believe, also just found the workshop which has a stupid amount of extra maps provided by modders

Modern Warfare Remastered.

I'm still shite.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

The first one was very good, you could forgive the jank for the story. The second one though...

Both games are known for a fairly realistic armour layering system. Oh, you want to wear chain mail? Need to put on nice gambeson first. To the point where you can have gambeson under chain mail under plate or brigandine. And it's great brigandine gets some love as it's a very common type of armour that rarely gets a look in with historical fantasy settings. Anyhoo, in the first game almost all the clothing clipped really badly. (Look up the now infamous "Andrew the Innkeeper's elbows".) But they've mostly sorted it all out in KCD2. Oh and the countryside looks fantastic!

Gameplay is just a tweaked and refined version of the first game. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Smart move by the developers. And now the story...

90% of it is well written, dark and hilarious. I'm about half way in and the worst bit has been a sermon on the validity of the traveller lifestyle. Otherwise it's up to you. Want to treat the bathhouse wenches like whores? Do that. Stick up for wimmin's rights? There's some of that too but mostly the "right on" stuff is optional. Put 'em all to the sword if you want!

There's more of the epic Skyrim about it, as in: pick a random direction, see what happens. Plenty of side quests.

The main detractions I would cite are the lack of voice actor variety and you can't stroke the cats.

i wanted to like the first game but got bored to the point of no return after a few hours.

Atomfall has been a fun play.

[DaddyStu]

Last of us 2 - PC version released a few days ago. Was looking forward to playing Joel again.

Atomfall next I reckon.

Completed KCD2 for a murder/thief build. Some vaguely "honourable knight" playthrough would be the game's EZ-mode. You can safely ignore all the side quests and do the main questline fairly quickly and I'll probably try a pacifist monk build (zero killing, zero crime) before I put the game down completely.

There are a lot more scripted events and quests towards the end of the game and this is where the jank slips in. My recommendation is wait until it's on special offer and then keep an eye on the patch list. It's not Cyberpunk 2077 bad but why put yourself through it

Decently patched and with a Bethesda style "Creation Kit" it could easily become a Skyrim killer.

Schedule 1. Drugs are bad, m'kay so don't smoke 'em, sell 'em!

It's a cheesy game but you get a sense of why people don't make money from the drugs game (at the low end anyway) when there's so much to organise, people you owe, finicky customers, rival dealers...

They're at the point of adding features rather than squashing bugs, it's pretty polished for an Early Access game.

Arise: A Simple Story

A thought provoking game done in a very beautiful way about the death of a man and his journey through the afterlife and his memories of meeting and eventually losing the love of his life.

What a fantastic game.

[BanditsHigh]

Grow Home
Unusual mechanics, but what a cracking game ... managed to finish it 100% with only a few achievements left to do.

Grow Up
The follow up to the first game, a much larger play area and new mechanics, another great game ... still playing

Got the two of them for £5.68 on CDKeys, bargain

Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster.

I'm not sure what everyone's raving about. The mechanics of the game haven't been touched and the graphics? It's different I suppose. Somehow I was expecting more from an Unreal conversion. TBH it put me off playing it.

Went back to Robocop: Dark City. I'm starting to enjoy it more now. It's slower than other first person games, but it's starting to settle into a rhythm now. This is probably the only game I have where my rig is not man enough to do it justice, and it's a bit glitchy and does chug a bit. it does have a decent story though which is slowly revealing itself. Not my favourite, but good enough to keep my attention.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Expedition 33... be amazed if thats not game of the year! Its an absolutely fantastic game.

[Robby]

Mario Kart World.

It's lovely.

[P.]

I have no lifed expedition 33 and it's now showing at 50 hours. It was an incredible story and it's got some great replayability.

It's free on game pass, but I would urge you to try it out.

Tainted Grail: a love letter to the Elder Scrolls.

Graphics? meh, jank and bugs? loads! music? pretty good actually. What it lifts from ES is "see that over there? let's check it out!" You can just wander around and stumble across all sorts of little side quests and stories. What it doesn't have is the multi-layered narrative of Skyrim, it's just the main plot then everything else. The story is good though.

Now ive got a better rig than my 15 year old laptop I've installed atomfall and been enjoying that.

Wouldnt mind a bigger inventory but other than that its a interesting game, im about 20 hours in now and the main story seems to be unfolding nicely, loots getting better too.

Bought my Samsung Odyssey+ VR kit on 22/11/2019 ... didn't work on old system, but it does on my newly built system.

Today, after nearly five years of waiting, I finally got to play the opening chapters of Half Life: Alyx ... all I can say is that it's been worth the wait ... absolutely fantastic
