Same! I’m not usually into Soulslike games, but I really like this one.

Still going through Arthur’s chapter in We Happy Few for achievements.

I don’t play as much anymore, but I have roughly 1200 hours in Diablo 3.

In Steam, my top most hours played are: Sims 3: 945 Mad Max: 609 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: 230

Xbox doesn’t tell me the time played for all of my games, but I know for sure I have a stupid amount of hours invested in Dead Space 2 and LA Noire. It does say I have about 650 hours in Resident Evil Revelations 2, but that’s because I really enjoy Raid Mode.

Finished the Night Springs and the Lake House expansions, as well as Alan Wake 2 itself. I actually really liked The Lake House, and imo it was scarier than the main game. It got me really excited for Control 2.

Got through a few levels in Doom II.

Decided to have another go through We Happy Few, at least Arthur’s chapter, as kind of a palate cleanser after spending so much time on Remedy games. I’m working on a few achievements, so it might end up being a longer playthrough than last time.

I started Alan Wake 2, and man, I forgot how terrifying and fun it is. I’m having a blast. And since the last time I played, they added photo mode! I’m particularly proud of . But idk if it’s just me, but after having fairly recently played the first Alan Wake, this game feels like there’s a lot less enemies? Especially when walking through the woods. Like a couple will pop up here and there, but a lot of the walking from one place to another is just… walking. Maybe I should have bumped the difficulty up to Hard lol. I’ve also already gotten through two of the Night Springs episodes, since they added them in game, which I thought was pretty cool. I’m really excited to get to the Lake House expansion.

Found all the collectables and filled out the ability tree in Control! I’m a little sad to put this game away, but there’s not much more I can do in it. I could try maxing out the weapon mods, but there really is no reason to do so, so I’m moving on.

I was holding off on restarting Alan Wake 2 until after the Thanksgiving holiday, so I’ve been back at it again with Subnautica. I’ve got three bases so far, and now I’m working on building out a bunch of ion batteries and power cells for my equipment and Cyclops sub. I really wish you could get the ion stuff earlier in the game, since it’s fairly close to the end, but I’m going to see what more I can do before finishing this out.

I finished the main game for Control, and the DLCs and the side quests, and got all the outfits, but I’m still not ready to put it away, so now I’m just working on finding all the collectables and filling out the ability tree.

Popped in to Diablo 3: Season 33 for a little bit. Chose the Crusader this round, but I’m not feeling super motivated to get through the season quickly.

Finally got through the final boss in Quantum Break. I really wish there was a sequel. Beth deserves the best.

I’m not sure how canon Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is for the overall Remedy Universe (the game itself says it’s kind of a alt reality, like a dream within a dream), but, like with Quantum Break, there are references to it in Alan Wake 2, so here we are lol. Besides, it’s a fun, short game, so why not. I was a little sad I couldn’t re-pick up documents (as I’ve played this a couple times before), but going back through them there is a surprisingly large amount of lore that’s dropped if you do consider this canon. Overall, I’m glad I played it.

Currently working through Control, and I’ve made a surprisingly large amount of progress story wise. It might be a bad idea that I am doing a replay, since I’ll want to collect every single little thing again, and that might take a while, but I love this game, so I won’t complain too much. Also, I absolutely forgot that they straight up mention Mr. Door. When I first played this game, it was before I played Quantum Break, so when “Mr. Door” popped up I was very confused, and by the time I got to Quantum Break I had forgotten the comment, I didn’t make the Door/Hatch connection. So it was a cool light bulb moment that makes me glad I’m going through the Remedy games again.

I recently went on an RV roadtrip with my cat. It is amazing all the nooks and crannies that they can get find and get into. I am so glad I invested in one of those Tile trackers to put on her collar. Luckily she got used to travelling after a couple days!

I finished Max Payne but idk how I ever got through the first couple times I played it… I had so much trouble this round that I would be seriously stuck if it wasn’t for console commands T_T I briefly thought about playing Max Payne 2, but thinking about the final fight in that game is kind of off putting, so I’ll leave it be.

I originally wasn’t going to go through Quantum Break again, but since I had already decided on playing Max Payne and Control, I thought, what the hell, it’s a great game so I’ll go another round in it. Besides, Alan Wake 2 technically does reference it, so… lore! Plot points! The game is still great fun, incredibly underrated, but I am a little miffed that I now had to install the show episodes to watch them. Not a huge deal, but having to stop and wait a few hours for all the versions to download took me out of the moment.

Started a new playthrough of Subnautica to do between Remedy games. I’m trying to explore more and utilize the beacons and the scanner room, and man, I’ve already come across stuff I haven’t seen before. This might end up being a game I put on regular rotation as a “filler” game, like Mad Max or V:TM Bloodlines.

Yeah, same here. The mount was pretty neat, but I couldn’t get the Butcher to spawn either. I should have put “event” in quotes, because it really didn’t feel like I did anything. I kind of wish they had done something like the Midwinter thing they did last year where you had to complete world events for currency for the cosmetics.

Popped back into Diablo 4 for a couple nights for their Halloween event.

Finished Alan Wake and its DLCs! I always forget how much I love this game. It makes me very happy to have replayed it again.

Next on the Remedy list is Max Payne, which I just started last night. I also love this game, but man, I always forget how terrible I am at it. I don’t know if it’s because it’s an older game or because I play with mouse and keyboard, but my coordination is absolutely abysmal. But, I’m still having fun, and that’s all that matters.

The first two paragraphs of the spoiler is one of my favorite parts of the game. It is such an awesome detail and had me giggling like a crazy person.

Eh, I’d argue it’s because of the modding community that Bloodlines 1 is still played today, especially with the unofficial patch.

I would love to see F.E.A.R. with updated graphics. Preferably just a remaster, but if it was remade in the same spirit as the Dead Space remake was, I’d be down for that too, especially if they brought back Fettel’s voice actor.

That’s kind of where I am now: I have T3 unlocked, but I’m not happy with the rate at which I’m killing stuff at that level in the Pit, so I’m upgrading what I can until I’m more comfortable there.

Oh, that’s good to know that the drop rate isn’t just me then, haha. I’m on Torment 2, and thought about moving up, but if the drop rate isn’t any better, I’ll just stay where I am for now.

Technically finished out the season journey and “campaign” rewards for Diablo 4: Season 6, now I’m just going for 100% completion and the rest of the battle pass rewards. I’m thinking it might take me a while, since for whatever reason ancestral items don’t drop that often for me, and the last thing I have to do is salvage 100 of them. It might have to do with the Torment level I’m on, but since the season doesn’t end until the end of January, I’m not too worried.

Speaking of Diablo, I was going to complete Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred with my OG campaign Necromancer, but I was having so much fun with my seasonal Rogue that I started working on and finished the DLC with her instead. Not sure how I feel about the ending of the expansion, since leaves a very big opening for more expansions (or d5?) and doesn’t really feel finished as far as the story goes.

Since The Lake House DLC came out this past week for Alan Wake 2, I’ve decided to replay (most) things Remedy, starting with Alan Wake, of course. I’m playing the remaster, which looks a lot better than I remember playing it for the first time. And while replaying it after having played AW2, I didn’t realize there were SO MANY references they stuck in referring to the sequel. Hell, even the QR codes that were just fun little things in the pc port have been turned into straight up references. It’s been so fun to replay.

Oh, I love this game! Really short and easy, and the narrator is fantastic. But I might be a little bias, since Dagon is my favorite in the Cthulhu Mythos, haha.

Finally started in on Diablo 4: Season 6, and it was a little bit of a pain leveling up with the new system, but once I got into the paragon boards, man, things really took off. I am in love with my Dance of Knives Rogue. She is mowing down mobs like they’re nothing. It’s only been a week and I’m already on the Slayer chapter for season objectives. At this rate I’ll be done faster than my Necromancer last season.

Played Amnesia: The Bunker (again, lol) one night for a couple more achievements: never dropping/storing an item and playing through the whole game without saving. I was also trying to go for three with one about taking out a bunch of rats, but for some reason I could never get more than a group of 4. Oh well.
