Tried the Entropy demo. The art style is fantastic and the controls are rebindable. The lack of any QoL features, such as manual saving, and the RPGMaker-like combat are disappointing. Given that it's the developer's second title with the same single auto-save system (now with backups, fortunately), I have a suspicion that it is intentional.

Also, the thing I adored in GreedFall is that the skip line and the select response functions were different keys, so I could safely tap away on replays. Speaking of, should replay and try to get a better ending for one of the factions.

I have decided I wanted to replay all the Kings Quest games from 1-6

I found this website where the first 3 games have been remade in updated graphics and all the actions are now point based with icons like the later games. So you dont need to type " open door "

It creates a much better experience and streamlines the game around mechanics

You can also download all 3 first games for free, I am busy with KQ3

I did use game guides and tips in KQ1-2 fairly often but for KQ3 I have decided to not use them as much and its rewarding finding solutions and advancing in the game through exploring and trial and error. KQ3 creates a really interesting narrative where you explore to find spell ingredients to free yourself from your wizard overlord

Overall its great playing these old classic games, lots of memories and a truly nostalgic experience

Hitman Absolution isn't too bad, not all that Hitman feeling though. Seems they watched too much Tarantino when making this

It’s the year of photography for me! After playing Viewfinder, here I am on Umurangi Generation, a title with a very simple concept: you explore small areas in a dystopian cyberpunk future to complete photo missions. There's no action or game over here, photography is the sole gameplay element. It’s a very chill game, where you have about ten objectives per zone (like photographing a "kiwi" or hunting for the 9 film canisters, etc..), which forces you to look at every single corner of the environment and sharpen your eye. I had a great time, and the OST is very, very cool!

Finished Hitman Absolution. Not all that bad, story is a bit out there as I mentioned earlier, but a fun experience, was definitely a 6 or 7 out of 10 game, but nothing as good as Blood Money.
