  I've played Wolfenstein Youngblood for about 3 hours and then stopped. I kept trying to push through but nothing about the game was doing it for me. Also, this game is making me really motion sick. Which is strange because I didn't notice having any motion sickness issues playing New Colossus.

  Youtube Video Telling Lies releases on August 23rd. The new video game from Sam Barlow, creator of Her Story and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. I went into Her Story not knowing much about the game and I really liked it. I'm hoping this new game can do the same.

  For some reason, I didn't think they'd let you do this, but looks like GOTY confirmed.

  Been playing New Game+. Man do you get some fancy gear and new resources to upgrade. Hopefully, for the sequel they will remember to put NG+ in the game to begin with, instead as a downloadable update.

  Platinum #114: Asterix & Obelix XXL 2. Well this happened. I saw this remastered game in one of the local stores here throughout the spring and little by little I became fixated by it. When it was finally on sale in June I went ahead and bought it. Another factor in the purchase were the three little figurines: Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix. The original game is from 2006 and this had way too many not-too-subtle "nods" to a number of games from back then. It really hadn't aged well in that regard, it was just awkward and freaking weird to punch Romans who were literally Mario from Sunshine with that water-thingy on their back. Or honestly Romans as Sonics, ugh. And Rayman. Horrible, horrible enemy choices. There were luckily also normal Romans all the time as well. Read more if you want: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix_%26_Obelix_XXL_2:_Mission:_Las_Vegum There were no missable trophies which is always great, though I did have a scare when I didn't have the trophy for killing every kind of enemies by the end of the game and the guide had promised that to happen. Luckily the trophy popped suddenly later in one of the challenges I completed (had to have gold score in all 12 of them). The money was kind of tight, but after the story when I returned to the challenges those filled up pockets pretty quickly and I could buy the rest of the upgrades etc. The game's pretty easy but there's a lot of fighting which can start to make you feel numb. And the music is simply awful pretty much all the time, had to bring it down big time. This is basically platforming with lots of brawling and collecting things. Only for hardcore Asterix & Obelix fans, be warned. And even then I was disappointed with all the intertextuality and parody of other games mixed into the adventure. I'd have rather had just a normal adventure with my two favourite Gauls.

  Just beat Alan Wake meaning I'm done with 9 (or 7 rather since I choose not to finish two games from my list). Alan Wake 8.5/10 I'm very pleased with Alan Wake, I think it is a very well made game that does some of the best work that I've seen when it comes to making 'cinematic' games, since I usually dislike how much other games in that vein compromise to make a flashy experience, but this one was just right. Add to it a very compelling narative that definitively wanted to make me go on, a good mix of characters to color the story, fantastic presentation and entertaining gameplay, it makes for a really great package. The ending is certainly a bit of a bummer, and some repetition is present that drags things down just a bit, but I also feel they made a good job of not stretching things too much, so even not a huge deal in my mind.

  @sheria Star Wars fans often refers to the 3-film sets as trilogies. For example, Episode I-III is the prequel trilogy, Episode IV-VI is the original trilogy (from the 1970s-80s), and Episode VII-IX is the sequel trilogy. And this saga is supposed to conclude with Episode IX, so it definitely is a 3 parts of a 3-act structure.

  Zone of the Enders Really good presentation, but flat storytelling. I get that mecha has to have a semi-reluctant teenage boy as the protag, but even as someone unfamiliar with the genre, its movements and character motivations felt really trite. Some of Kojima's more operatic sentiments pop in here or there (like the death of the game's villain for example), but his influence feels more decorative than anything else: the graphic design, the pacing (rather than the quality of) the dialogue. The combat could have been better thought out as well. Movement is pretty responsive, but the action mostly comes down to mashing square and changing up ranged and close-combat approaches. Blocking and throws never struck me as necessary, and a lot of the side weapons feel cumbersome. I like that it's all one nicely realized location though. I like games that do that.

  @bam541 Most excited for Control, it's my dark horse for GOTY. This and Man of Medan really do a great job closing out the month and getting me ready for the madness that is the Fall gaming season.

  The original part 1 (and part 2) of Pig Detective is one of the coolest one sitting games I've played in a while. Excited to try out this remastered version.
