I played Eternights but dropped it halfway. It got too repetitive.

Then played Bad Dudes on MAME and rescued president Ronnie from the ninjas.

And now with lollipop chainsaw for the first time officially on PC.

EDIT: Refunded lollipop chainsaw. Don't get this game as is right now. It's in a terrible state. Botched OST, voice desync, long load times, bad audio, low FPS, no graphics menu (this one PC specific)

Hopefully shadows of the dammed has a better launch

I just finished Robocop, and as a fan of the original movie, I loved it.

Saying that, I did run into a number of technical bugs, with controller actually freezing three times in the game; in one of those scenarios, Robocop just started shooting randomly and would not stop, lol.

Also, some areas of the game are ugly as hell, very blurry characters at a distance.

Saying all that, game is a great homage to the movie and the character and had lots of great quests, characters and little easter eggs to the movie

Being a fan of original movie 10/10
If a regular joe that has never wanted Robocop 7.5/10

Now on to Astro bot.

Crew Motorfest avatar customization is still an insult. Had to settle for one that’s more Arabic or Hispanic looking to get something similar to me. You can’t really make a white man in this game that isn’t some gingerbread generic beta blonde. And the one face option available — dude has no lips. It’s like a year later right? Well the options are still nothing.

Love the game. But wtf is this trash character creator. It seems bad intentionally and one of saddest examples I’ve ever seen. It’s like gotta be a troll. Right?

Completed Astro Bot last night. 100% completion excluding one bot/outfit that seems to be exclusive to the deluxe edition after looking it up. Excellent game. Looks gorgeous, plays superbly and great audio. Story is obviously basic and nothing special but it's a platformer so that's to be expected. Play time was over 25 hours easily. A total and complete joy to play. Hoping Sony decided to have Team Asobi make Astro Bot a franchise because any new future games like this is day one for me and the only platformer that I have any interest in playing.

Visuals - 10/10 (superb)
Audio - 9.0/10 (excellent)
Gameplay/Combat - 10/10 (superb)
Story/Characters - 7.0/10 (good)
Overall - 9.0/10 (excellent)

Excellent game from start to finish and only the second game this generation in which I rated gameplay/combat a perfect 10/10 for me.

Now on to Black Myth Wukong.

Started late last night and the entire game was in Chinese. I was WTF? Tried going through the menus but that didn't work so I deleted the game and reinstalled it. On start up, it gives you a setup screen for the voices and text which I set to English so now im good.

Only played the opening boss fight in the clouds which was awesome. Then killed the two basic enemies that try to eat the fruit and that's where im at. Will get back to the game later today.

You should play with Chinese audio and subtitles, it's way better VA work

I wish I could say Astro Bot but the wife won't let me play my turn every night, so I guess I'm going back to Helldivers 2 today to see the new buffs patch.

We assumed you are a simp, now we know.. 🫣😂

No you see, it's strategic.

This way I can throw these events at her face the next time she complains about me spending too much time on videogames.

Put about 2 hours into the Plucky Squire, got to chapter 5. So far it's a 10/10 idea that has 7/10 execution. I kinda see why it's a PS+ game cause it's not really blowing me away. Its had some cool moments so far but also feels a little... Underbaked I guess? Technically the game runs fine, everything is fine, but it feels like the game could have done with double budget, and the writing needs a bit more polish.

I've been playing Hardspace: Shipbreaker off and on for about a week. It's fun, but can be a little tedious. The real bummer is I can't play it at work with remote play because it requires precise inputs and my phone just can't provide that. While working, I've been playing Pokemon Crystal on my 3DS, and it's a major throwback. So many things that I came to take for granted with the Pokemon series over the years, like being able to move faster than a snail's pace. I've been thinking about playing all the main Pokemon games since I have so much free time at work, but I'll eventually be playing games on my PlayStation that can handle remote play, so we'll see what happens.

Does it ever stop being in a book? Its cool but flipping pages and having 10-15% of screen taken up is me. Charming but Im kinda over it. Went back to Tunic
