What are you Playing Now? - Back to the Grind
I have been playing The Bookwalker. It is a small indy game with some first person walking about in the real world and isometric walking about inside the books. In this setting, writers no longer writers don't use their imagination to write. They enter books and affect them from inside. As such they don't really write anything new, they just murk about with existing stories. You play a writer who was sentenced to wear writer's shackles, to prevent you from doing writer stuff, until you work off your sentence. Of course you don't want to write drivel dictated by the state, so you do illegal writing for hire - basically you enter books and steal items from the books. You can kinda tell it is a game made by two European developers wanting to make something different. It is rather charming. People who may like this: Keyrock

It kinda highlights the limitations of the gameplay. The fights are enjoyable, but they didn't really manage to do anything with this system. Magik can summon another character into the team for a round. But that character will not increase your actions - 3 for the whole team - instead they will dilute the card pool while there, since they won't increase the number of cards drawn. Same when Hunter summons their doggy. But they added summoning abilities because "Summoning is cool" (which it is). Instead of, or because they didn't find enough to do with the tactical fights, they concentrated on writing marvel fanfiction and having players gather herbs as if this were Skyrim. The feeling I am left with is a Marvel VN interspersed with light deck building and tactical fights, and gatcha loot as if it were a mobile game.

I find the balance between tactical gameplay and abbey stuff just out of wack. Especially in the first half, you have an hour of chatting for twenty minutes of "playing"

My problem is that I can't know if there is other bugged content like Yriels questline not triggering, since I'd have to check spoilers to see what may have bugged out. It is that thing that hurts my enjoyment of Bethesda games, when I have used the console too many times to spawn vanished NPCs. I may quit my play through and wait a year.

Trying out kingdom of heart. Really dislike that early bobble head children on an island bit. Ugh.

The training portal, playing solo against the fallen, can help better learn how characters play.

Random video game news... Games are the most elevated form of investigation
NCSoft gave Homecoming the licence to run their City Of Heroes community server in an official way. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/47223-ncsoft-homecoming-license-announcement/ City of Heroes was a super hero mmo that NCSoft eventually shut down. Homecoming was a relatively recent attempt at a fan-run revival of the game.

Magik is the most fun character.

You can simply respec at the ship of course. Talk to your factotum or what he is called and say "my team needs training"

I prefer the insurance fraud in this one actually. For the simple fact that it is one of the illegal ventures you set up while creating your criminal empire. The NPC you have running it has a software to simply hack the insurance companies, but you never listen to her and do it the old fashioned way.

I understand the basis for the accusations. They took out the strippers. Instead of Shaundy having an ex in every street, here Kevin has random exes both male and female. And you don't have a Johnny Gat murder machine. You are the Johnny Gat murder machine... Same as the old boss really. They took out Professor Ghenki's murder TV show and made it an underground darknet webshow. The parties at the saint's hq are just normal people dancing and drinking, not strippers everywhere. There is no drug use but instead of blow up dolls, you collect hundreds of drug pallets. There is no sex toy weapon. There are no gimp suit ponyplay races.

It is a fun game though. So grab it if you use EPIC. The "woke" accusations are *roll eye* It is a game I believe could even be enjoyed by Bruce. The problems: It is a bit too best-friends-squad It is not a grotesque like the old series. They made a few bad decisions (at launch you had only one garage on a huge map) It is aimed at a new, young audience, not as old gits who played the old series.

Single shot bolter rounds not missing is silly fun. Argenta can see your toe? Boom! Headshot!

That voidship is tedious. Grand Strategist just doesn't seem worth the hassle. It kinda works on a psyker, because you can just put down the zones and then concentrate on psykering about, ignoring the whole grand strategist malarkey.
