os1's worldbuilding was too whimsical
It feels like the original Fable, and that's kind of nice. It's silly, but in a sincere way.

I'd like to return and finish the rest of the campaigns.
MP skirmish is also pretty good.
Also, you can join any (open) game in the lobby as a spectator and look through the replay up to the current turn. Very convenient. It's the only game I know that does it.

Parts of it do feel like the original Fable. I grew to like the game more the more I played it - tho this also could have been stockholm syndrome. Regardless, I understood what they were going for with OS1 and could appreciate it, even tho os1 doesn't manage to create the atmosphere I'm looking for.

BG3.
Just entered Act 2 and I've had enough of it.
Unsalvageagble garbage. I now despise the modders working on this POS.
The game needs a total conversion, new setting, story, everything.
**** current year, and **** these modders for wasting their time on this.
*******.

Playing Grimshire right now (thanks Rusty!) and it's looking like it might actually be superior to Stardew Valley so far. Don't let the "furry" look of the game deceive... this is closer to something like The Wind in the Willows, and has a certain dark/grim (no pun intended, but it's in the title) feel to it that actually bothers me a bit at times while playing it.

For example, there's a plague that's ravaged the main city of this world (I took it to be similar to rabies) causing the "animal people" to kill each other/destabilize society. Apparently townsfolk can die in your village due to starvation. Children get scared, etc. There's actual purpose to farming/taking care of the community, apparently.

Really impressed so far. Might actually buy it, and I don't buy early-access anything nowadays.

Finished a replay of Divinity: Original Sin 2. This time I played on Explorer mode with Fane and Sebille taking Lone Wolf. Had a roller coaster of a difficulty curve where it started out a bit demanding (though not as demanding as Classic), got really easy the way I like it in acts 2 and 3 after I had maximized my damage potential, and then got hard again in act 4 when the enemy stats caught up until I was able to maximize my damage potential even further by boosting the critical chance on my two-hander to 89% and drinking green tea to get 1 AP attacks. Had a good time, though I think it would have been more agreeable as a three-act game.

Though I was a bit annoyed how I tried to break the story at a few parts (killing Alexandar on the ship, eating the ghosts of defeated enemies so they couldn't be resurrected later) and the game just continued on as if I didn't. At least you get a line of dialogue for Alexandar, all the old bosses returning at the end with no explanation was nonsense.

Playing Thief: The Dark Project and not even really enjoying it anymore. I'm starting to wonder if getting older just dulls your ability to have fun or something.

I thought it was neat but not an especially gripping game. I stalled out at the mission where you wander around the city at night with the zombies. I got stuck and didn't want to keep going round and round the maze backtracking trying to figure out where the church was and how to get into it while being chased by zombies anymore, so I quit there.

Helpful hint (that I didn't know for years): Flash bombs hurt undead (if you have any). And yeah, the Cathedral levels are dark and claustraphobic. Part of the charm, but they can be stressful.

I've been playing through Return to Castle Wolfenstein for the first time, through the "RealRTCW" mod which includes better visuals, sound, and additional weapons. I have to say despite the hype and the fairly good art direction, I'm not a huge fan of this game. The gunplay doesn't feel satisfying, doubly so if playing Vanilla, and the enemies lack decent feedback to your shots. There is no satisfying gore apart from a few particular weapons, and it feels like you're shooting BBs otherwise. Most of the enemies are hitscans, which makes the Hard mode equivalent very tedious and frustrating to beat. The level design also isn't anything to write home about, the plot is pulpy but underwhelming despite the cool supernatural elements, and the music isn't good at all and insanely repetitive.

The New Order and (especially) The Old Blood are objectively better games from a game design standpoint, it's just a shame about all the other aspects.
