With a few more hours into Void Bastards...Ras is pretty much on point. I'd maybe add Out There as an influence for the star map part of the game. It's shallow, but like I said, that's refreshing alongside RDR2. A lot of it is atmosphere and style. Simple, fun, needs to be picked up on sale.

3/5 would definitely light up a dark hallway by 'nading three senior scribes so their bioluminescent blood covered the walls again, Barbara.

Finally finished Trails of Sky Second Chapter.  80 plus hours, and that is with me reading the copious text very quickly.  It’s cheesy, derivative, sappy nonsense, but I loved every bit of it.  Started the third chapter immediately.

I picked up Circle Empires and DLC on a sale.  RTS conquer the world, where the world is a grid of 3x3, 4x4, up to 7x7 (I think) circles.  Build units, some buildings, fight.  Pretty decent for when you have only a little time to spend at the computer.

I was playing Overwatch for the anniversary event, but that's probably out of my system for now.  Having said that, Overwatch's quick matches are still a good timewaster when you only have 15-30 minutes to sit down.

Trying Divinity: Original Sin 2.  So far it's good, but I had the same impression of D:OS.  My problem is simply that I feel I need at least a couple hours straight to play a game like this to make any significant progress, and I simply do not get many 2 hour chunks of time anymore.   Ohhhhh, I see.

Dabbling with Path of Exile again for the new season, but honestly the mechanics of builds keep being a high barrier for me.   Ohhhhh, I see.  I still have not unlocked the Scion.

Finished Pillars of Eternity. Really enjoyed it, especially the story, but the endgame was dragging on me. It felt like I was experiencing loading screens more than game content. Also felt that the DLC didn't flow smoothly with the rest of the game.

Finally started Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice. I have heard so much about this game and now that I have tried it I don't understand how this is not more popular. Oh right, this world is shit. While the game is fantastic.

Which reminds me that I have it for VR and haven't played it enough (it takes an iron belly).  Will give it another go once I have my Index.

At least this one is short and easy. It must be mindblowing in VR, especially due to the audio cues. Anyway, I suppose that the reason I am liking it so much is that it's the most From Software setting (not gameplay) I've ever encountered in a game outside of a From Software game. And it's actually based on Norse mythology.

It is very atmospheric in VR.  Trippy.  But because of the third person view, it is something you have to acclimate to slowly, as it will mess with your stomach.  I would like a bit crisper visuals as well, so like I said...will re-install once I have my Index.

Monster Hunter was on sale and I find it is very time consuming. I need to get into the MH mindset somehow before I play it.

I'm probably going to pre-order the large version of Borderlands 3. Feel free to throw tomatoes and let me know why this is a bad idea.

The story missions and cutscenes will calm down after a bit and you'll be able to just drop in and out of hunts as you please.

I suppose it is a symptom of my lifestyle that I need games in which I can make progress in small increments. This is actually what keeps me from starting up Stardew Valley more often.

I'm enjoying RDR2 more now that I've given up any idea of progress. I'm just robbing wagons to bankroll my poker habit and trying to get enough game to keep Pearson off my back.

I finished Far Cry 5 and after the initial disappointment about the ending, it grew on me and overall it did not take away at all from the huge fun I had shooting my way through the game. Organically, I jumped straight into Far Cry New Dawn, which is OK and pretty, but a little too devoid of drama.

I really enjoyed the heck out of FC5, and I swear 90% of it was the random female redneck NPC that reminded me of some good ol girls I grew up with. Putting Amy in the gun turret of the truck while I drove around and listening to her shoot and swear, redneck gold.

Good mechanics, too; just a fun sandbox (if you skip all the cutscene nonsense which was really bad).

If you are playing on the PS4 and need some help to speed things along let me know.

Also for those with PS+ accounts there's a demo* of Monster Hunter: World Iceborne available to try out right now for a limited time. It includes one monster/hunt from the base game and two from the expansion.

* They call it a "beta" but it's really just a demo given how limited the experience is

I did this for a while as well, however Rockstar managed to piss on this as well.

I think I'll be alright, provided I can get together the time to play.

Related, I played through the latest DLC for Borderlands 2. It gives me hope that 3 will be very good.

I also did a few timed tasks in Warframe and rememebered how the game seems like work now. Path of Exile seems like less work but the current job is to get all my characters to finish the story.

Wife started Vacation Simulator and it is a definite improvement over the original. She is enjoying it. Also she whacked a curious cat with the motion wand.

Son has been playing the latest iteration of Spelunky.

I got a new phone and on a lark decided to reinstall Pokemon Go. It's...actually a lot more fun than it was a few months into launch. More to do, more game stuff, still kind of a fun extra motivator to go on a long walk.

My son only sort of encourages me to play Pokemon Go. He actually only plays when he is with friends who play or when we go someplace that he can get pokemans he doesn't have (Mister Mime in France).

I've been playing Pillars of Eternity II for the last couple of weeks and I'm having a blast. It's so much better than the first Pillars it's amazing. It's an old retro  Baldur's Gate style game and I wish I'd joined in the crowdfunding and gotten it earlier.

If there is one thing that Pillars of Eternity 2 has taught me, it's how much more I enjoy turn based game play over real time with pause.

Unsirprisingly I am liking it less than plain Far Cry 5. I am totally on board with the whole 20 years later in the same region setting, with plenty of old friends to deal with. But the overall tone is a bit too light and bright so far. At least the gameplay and everything else is still very good.

I have.  It was somewhat nicer on the eyes, but still the same game and I always found it really limited.  Strangely, despite being much the same game, I enjoy 2 a hell of a lot more.

So a couple days ago I was like, hmmm, I kinda want to play some kind of MMO again.

And I realized that there was some Korean MMO I had played in beta and bought for $10 on Amazon right before it went F2P which gave me like a free mount and some other perks. But I never installed it because my old PC was too slow for it to be playable.

I had to search around to figure out what the damn game was called.

Tera

So I spent most of the day playing it. Dunno how long I will keep playing, but I had fun puttering around mindlessly today. Finally got my $10 worth, 5 years later.

Koreans have the combat right. TERA was great. Unfortunately Koreans MMORPG fall apart when you reach max level, as they all become an endless grind for random enchantments, but the journey to the top is usually a lot of mindless smashy fun.

That can easily be remedied by stopping to play at max level and move on to the next game, though. If the journey was worth it, then there is no harm done. I never understand that "The same game has to entertain me for years or it is a flop" mentality.
