  1. I'm playing Chaosgate: Daemonhunters and it's good so far.
    Gameplay is pretty much a well done XCOM: Enemy Unknown clone with some changes. Hit chance is always 100% but the damage dealt fluctuates based on various factors like distance, de/buffs, cover etc. The Chaos corruption you're fighting charges up every round or whenever your units use their psychic powers and causes a random effect when it hits Warp Surge. A debuff area, penalties for your units, reinforcements popping in, random enemies gaining mutations. Won one mission by the skin of my teeth when an enemy patrol, objective-based reinforcements and Warp Surge reinforcements decided to all gang up on me at once.
    You have a ship as your base that you upgrade similar to Harebrained's Battletech, repair sections to increase your out-of-combat capabilities, research stuff to make your in-combat mojo better.
    Units are divided into classes, they rank up, have their own upgrade trees with an atrocious UI, etc.

    Unfortunately there's some bugs that need ironing out, there's two area denial weapon abilities I can't use at all so far. The cinematics are pretty enough, though you can tell they could've use more time working on those. The tutorial was super cheesy, though I enjoyed it. :lol: Music is alright so far, the kind of choir chanting and haunting orchestral stuff you'd expect, but it's music that's playing quietly in the background instead of something adrenaline pumping so it doesn't stand out much.

    My biggest criticism of Telltale is that they never evolved their formula, they just reskinned it for another IP. It took a different studio, Big Bad Wolf, to move the narrative adventure genre forward. I don't necessarily want Dramatic Labs to copy The Council, but just another Telltale game ain't gonna cut it, it needs to be more than that.

    I vaguely remember reading that their boss pressured them into repeating The Walking Dead's success? Not just financially but the award shower too?

    Elden Ring got a patch with some interesting additions: https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/elden-ring-patch-notes-v1-03
