Hi bluesky gaming community,
This is the beginning of a new chapter for me. I've been playing games for a long time and finally feel like I have enough motivation to share my experiences. This account is not just limited to reviews (might get into it at some point), but more;

I think Hades 2 is going to get me super addicted the way Hades 1 did. Thanks for another hit game @supergiantgames.bsky.social

I've been playing @borderlands.2k.com 4 and have some thoughts. First, the positives:
- Love the open world map, been getting distracted by the things you get to do.
- Fun side quests so far, I keep looking forwards to them
- Gun feel good, good number of variations as well

So it seems borderlands 4 doesn’t have a preload yet for steam. Alright alright I’ll just patiently wait and stare at my download slowly progressing once the game releases. @borderlands.2k.com you have my patience intact.

I've been enjoying my time with Hell is us. The visuals make it immersive enough that I don't mind getting lost while exploring. Combat is serviceable enough. The VA and animations, dialogue and world building are top notch though.

So, I caved in and wanted to give just cause 4 another shot. I did not expect to miss the ridiculous action and now this game also has a flying car, no mods, it's in the game. Also, mechs, cars that can go on water and more crazy stuff.

Here's another game that I'd love to recommend for the steam deck, red dead redemption. Not only do I love the fact they released it on steam, but it also runs smooth on the deck. Here are the reasons I enjoyed it;

The main takeaway from me is that the game is very slowly inching towards potential decency. The casino being restricted in so many countries is not a good look imo. At least they are getting rid of the anti-cheat.

As I take a casual drive in the Crew motorfest, here's what I wish for in the next game;
- Bring back a narrative, something to differentiate from the festival style gameplay
- Omitting the Live crate + radar thing. Need something new, maybe more organic stuff to discover?

Tainted Grail is getting a new patch with more locations and a redesign to existing ones.
This game is special. Great art style, lots of quests and a map that is not too big but fun to explore. There's new stuff EVERYWHERE.
If you enjoyed games like Skyrim and Oblivion, give this one a shot.

Gotta love the Arkham knight modding community. Found one which updates the Battinson suit with more detail and textures. Another for the Battinson Batmobile which also can be used with the Battle mode. Links to both of them in the replies.

October seems stacked for us gamers. Right from the beginning of the month till all the way to the end. It's like the publishers want us to eat good. Here are some that are releasing fairly close to each other;

Glad to see some performance tests especially for the folks on PlayStation. May just have to wait till things are smoothed out. Games stuttering on console need serious attention from the devs.

The dawnwalker devs have been cooking. Combat seems smoother and we get the option to zoom the camera further away.
I love this since I prefer seeing more of the environment than having most of the screen real estate taken up by the character. Here’s the IGN youtu.be/al4m4bmXr34?...
