Started Octopath Traveler. Seems very good. Lots of JRPG tropes, but gameplay is interesting enough, I'm enjoying it. Looks like it has some hard achievements to get, but I'm a sucker for those, so I'll probably end up completing it.

What I think happened is they went to a publisher, who said "Oh, you're making a BG3-like game? Have lots of money!" All we can hope is they can use it effectively.

It's good to have some self-reflection. Or sarcasm, whichever it is. Anyway, interesting that divinity.com was up for grabs. You'd think the Vatican owned it, or something.

Very sneaky from Blizzard, new D4 expansion has 2 new classes, but you get one immediately if you pre-purchase.

ToEE on steam is out. It's pretty cheap, base price 9,75€ for me. Mortismal said they fixed most of the bugs. He think it's base game + mod fixes + some polish.

Will Clair Obscur win half the categories, or just GotY?

I went in expecting a final fantasy style turn-based combat, and was turned off by the dodging.

It's not very final fantasy, it's mostly about dodging.

Funnily enough, some people just made this:

"Furthermore, we want to inform you that we will perform a price adjustment of Titan Quest II to reflect the currently available content on Early Access on Steam and Epic Games Store. This will be changing from EUR/USD 29.99 to EUR/USD 34.99, effective November 11, 2025. This was the first wave and is in effect until further notice." Sure sounds like they plan to do it a lot more times.
