No. Not the Randy Pitchford documentary. Telling Lies is the new video game from Sam Barlow, creator of Her Story and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It currently has an 85 on Opencritic https://opencritic.com/game/8168/telling-lies . The game releases August 23 for PC.
Gears of War 4 - I replayed the story of Gears of War 4. Gears is Gears and it's still lots of fun. They haven't changed gameplay that much since Gears 1. There was a time when Gears of War clones were popping up everywhere but you don't see them these days. So I would say the combat in Gears feels more like a good through-back novelty as opposed to feeling like archaic gameplay design. I like JD Fenix and the new characters. Although, their dialog could have been just a little better. Also, I forget how abruptly the story ends in this game. Still looking forward to playing Gears 5 next month.
@capnbobamous That really sucks to hear about Game Informer. I visit the Game Informer website all the time and have listened to their GI Podcast every week since 2011. I always appreciated their Easy Allies like positivity. I hope they can figure something out but that is a lot of their staff gone already.
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.
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.
I finished Fire Emblem: Three Houses as the Blue Lions professor with 70 hours played. Now I'm starting a New Game Plus with the Black Eagles. I can't stop playing this amazing game! Fortunately, my backlog is pretty small right now. I mostly just want to replay Gears 4 before 5 comes out. Then I'm looking forward to the new releases at the end of this month.

@mbun Even half-assed and bootleg Pikachu still warms my heart
Bloodborne - As someone who always used shields and magic in Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3. Switching to guns for defense never fully clicked for me. The poor frame-rate and long loading times didn't help matters. I eventually made my way to some turret guy, who murdered me about 50 times before I finally quit.
Most of my favorite games could fall into multiple genres so I tried my best to separate them.
