I’ve done two dungeons of the latest Zelda game. The new mechanics are fun. Even though they can be a little tricky, I’d say that this is friendlier to beginners than recent entries in the series.

Subnautica was such a great game. I never picked up the Below Zero DLC. Did you play it? Not sure why I never got around to it.

I did, but like so many games, I didn’t finish it. I’m going to go back and start it over. It’s very similar to the first game, but obviously still a lot of fun.

ā€œSandboxā€ type games aren’t typically my bag, but boy, is Subnautica one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Agree about sandbox games. I love the exploration at first but once that novelty wears off I often put them down. I do intend to get back to them in the moment but rarely do. I’m the same with rogue-likes. I wanted to finish Hades but didn’t see it through to the end.

Hades was one I stopped pretty quickly. Not because I didn’t like it, but because it wasn’t my ā€œmainā€ game at the time and I just never went back.

Subnautica does such a great job of making you feel completely alone and lost. And the difficulty ramps up as you go, so it never feels boring. As soon as you feel like you’ve accomplished something, there’s another new, scary thing around the corner.

BioWare’s new Dragon Age game is getting pretty good reviews

Not surprising. Inquisition was very well received.

I finally played through Bioshock Infinite. Holy tap-dancing shit is it incredible, particularly playing through the DLC.

If you haven’t played it and plan to, be sure to play the first two Bioshocks first. What a masterpiece of a series.

Cricket 24 is free on ps plus until 12/02. I recommend it for anyone who likes cricket and getting their ass torn apart by pakistani teenagers while they taunt your american accent. Pretty good though, I’m not super into sports games other than MLB, but it seems pretty well done and the gameplay loop isn’t too bad, although even on the easy mode I am having a difficult time bowling to the AI without them blasting every other shot 400+ feet. My only complaint is unless you play during asia prime hours you’re unlikely to find a match quickly.

End of the video confirms I’ve been pronouncing it wrong the whole time.

Elden Ring DLC wouldn’t upset me

Astrobot is pretty great. I didn’t play the Elden Ring DLC as I was pretty burnt out from the base game and just didn’t have the gumption to pick it up again.

Definitely need to make time at some point, assuming you like Elden Ring. The DLC is incredible, as per usual with From Software. I’ve heard great things about Astrobot.
