Just rolled credits on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. 🎮

What a video game. While the poor stealth and combat hold it back, I was thoroughly enthralled by the beautiful environments, satisfying puzzles and superb voice acting.

It's criminal there is no photo mode though... Just look at it!

Just played through my favourite mission so far in The Great Circle.

The most unique mission design in the game, creepy and mysterious environment and absolutely DRIPPING with style. I had goosebumps the entire time.

and it isn't even a main story mission.

I'm torn on the Indy game. I see lots of well deserved praise for the story, voice acting, puzzles etc, but little talk of combat.

The stealth gameplay so far is missing any spice. The AI is pretty dull, limited routes through environments, and few tools to manipulate encounters in my favour.

Me in highschool after getting caught listening to my iPod in maths.

Played through the first act of Vanquish today. 🎮

This is the game in the background of every old CSI episode where a kid gets arrested for drug possession. It doesn't get more video game than this.

If you haven't, I'm begging you to go and play the Cairn Demo on steam. It's only available until the 19th of December.

Just one small slip from a missed handhold was enough to make my stomach flutter in panic.

@thegamebakers.bsky.social have knocked it out of the park with this one.

Normally I'm not one for Hero Shooters, but this Marvel Rivals is kinda sick.

I'm very confused about a lot of what's going on, but I'm having fun.

My favourite part of Final Fantasy XIII was when the robots grabbed each other's butts to stop a rolling ball.

Kind of an eclectic bunch of games. Add in Neon White from the Xbox app and the list is complete.

Pentiment for sure.

Rollerdrome is what you get if you smash Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Doom's weapon swapping shooting together, and slap on a beautiful cell shaded art style. Definitely worth a try.

Games I finished in November:

♟️ Superliminal
🃏 Neon White
🎨 Pentiment
🛼 Rollerdrome

Neon White is the first game I've played that made the collectables enjoyable to collect. Legitimately fun and interesting puzzles to reach them.

Final Fantasy has been a series I've missed out on. Today I spent 5 hours playing XIII and don't know what to think.

It's a nice popcorn game, just walk forward and mash 'A' to win. But this simplicity will only hold my attention for so long before I start crying out for a challenge.

My partner managed to completely smooth out the texture on both thumbsticks.

She was playing Stardew Valley. Apparently the mine is stressful. 😂

Pentiment might be the first time I have legitimately felt the weight of having an entire village's fate in my hands.

If you haven't tried this game, you NEED to.

Just encountered the most frustrating interactive ad, it's almost impressive how evil this is.

Pentiment might legitimately be the most engaged I have been in an RPG game.

I almost immediately bounce off religion in games, I've always found it hard to parse lots of religious terms.

However this game that is 80% religion has me absolutely hooked, can't wait to get stuck into act 3.
