It's not so much the list of stuff that you can't say I would have a problem with, but the list of things you have to say.
Lets see how this develops during the new US government.
What are you playing this weekend/these days?

I have no idea how they got there officer.
I just completed Dishonored on PS3. Excellent game. Stealthy immersive sim. Takes place in Black Death-era London basically in the dodgy part of town by the water. Exactly where I live... Things haven't really changed much tbh. More polished and stylized than Half Life 2 which I recently played, but equally unpleasant environment. I don't like zombies / bloody disgusting things. I want to play a happier game next. 9/10

Finally got round to playing this. Finding it fun so far even though I'm not the worlds best detective.

Worked on (including HL2) by the art director Viktor Antonov, who sadly passed away this week.

Finished Wasteland 3. Played because it looked similar to X-COM and enjoyed it a lot. Dialogues were well written and spoken. Often quite out there, which I did not expect not having played the other games in the series. Made me chuckle and laugh quite a few times. Music was good - there were even a few (licensed?) tracks with vocals, but fitting. Moral decisions left and right. Gets the old noggin going, just like the mechanics and skill combinations. In the end you get a nice country song about how you dealt with your quest, plus some drawings and notes about how the characters or factions fared afterwards as result of your choices. Two thumbs up!

Just finished DOOM 2 again, on GBA SP 101, third time in a row, in God mode. DOOM 2 came out on PC in 1994... I am so old. And it's as much fun as ever

The GBA version used the Southpaw engine instead of the one made by John.

On GBA, it is different to find the W3D Level because one has been spliced into two (Industrial Zone I think).
Always, by the time I get through these two, I forget to look for that bonus Level
There is also one more, Level 31, which has escaped me so far

Just read up on Southpaw and its many intended extra features. I find it pretty amazing what can run/could run on the GBA

Just finished Hob. Decent exploration/light combat game. There are a few abilities to find and unlock to help you along. Interesting world & presentation, but there's no real lore to dive into since the game doesn't use words. There's not much character interaction. No brain teasers apart from "how do i get around to that?". You can fight an optional final boss, a welcome combat challenge. Not sure who I would recommend this to.
Edit: There's a new demo of Gothic 1 remake called "Nyras Prologue". It's not unlikely that this is only availble for a limited time. This one's different from the demo released a few years ago. E.g. the combat system is much closer to the original game.

Just finished Tunic. What an amazing title.
Only comparing it to Zelda, of which it clearly is a heir, wouldn't do it justice.
There is a meta narrative that you get to find piece by piece in the form of the virtual game manual's pages. Most of the manual, charmingly illustrated in the style of a classic console game's booklet, is written in a made up rune language. That you can learn, but don't have to in order to finish the game. The manual is also littered with tips and clues if you look carefully.
Combat is fun and challenging as you have to manage your stamina, learn attack patterns and equip the right gadgets to help you out. For healing you get replenishable flasks, just like in the Souls games. Checkpoints too work in a similar fashion to bonfires. There's also NG+. Exploration is so much fun in this, just like if not more so than in any Zelda or Metroidvania. Also gives me FEZ vibes, I should replay that some time.
What I love most about Tunic is how it toys with player knowledge and how many moments of realization there are on your first playthrough. Speaking any more of it might spoil the fun. This is a must-play.
