Axiom Verge 2 is out. I’m playing on switch in order to avoid the Epic ecosystem. Seems good so far.

Been playing a ton of Doom the last week or so

Death Stranding. One of those games that understandably polarizes oplinion. It took quite a few hours for me to form an opinion, which now is very positive. Middle to late stages of the game are pretty satisfying after equipment upgrades and road and zipline networks begin to take shape. I was a big fan of the Stalker games and this gives me the same feeling even though the games are very different. I am not exactly engrossed in the story aspect, not because there's anything wrong with it but I'm much happier out in the wilds solving traversal dilemmas or engaging with Mule camps or BT infested areas. I'm not a big fan of long cutscenes. It's not as perfect as those claiming it is, as it does take a while to figure out at the start or to get well equipped enough but I do love it like very few other games. Norman Reedus was the perfect choice as the main character. I recommend it but would suggest watching some of the youtube videos positive and negative. Not suitable for playing in short sessions. Some negatives include, clunky interface, terrible songs at times and the aforementioned cutscenes and storytelling. Perfect plague era game and I was a little skeptical of the human connection/collaborative aspect but it works well. Anyway, pretty good for a walking simulator.

Im playing on the Switch…got Doom and Doom II on sale for like $5 apiece a while back. I just wrapped up the end of Episode 4 last night (on the easiest skill level because I want to have fun, not be frustrated), and knocked out a level or two on Doom II.

FTL. This shit needs an actual easy mode.

Great game, and it does have an easy mode right?

Don't forget to pause!

I do pause. It does have a mode that it labels “easy”, but this is a scam. It is still very very hard.

If it's any consolation, you've planted the theme music in my head now. That's another evening gone.

Good man, if you have a pc check out the Quake re-relese. Complete with soundtrack that is an abuse of ring modulation.
