Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

I played Conan Exiles just to check it out because I was curious about it, and I liked what I played of it. It’s a third person open world action survival sim where you play as a custom made character who has been exiled to harsh and savage lands. You begin the game with nothing, and are in the midd...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

The story was simply dreadful in the first reboot imho. I like Lara's movement and it looked and played well, but man, the narrative was really poor to me and it had too many over-the-top moments - and that's coming from someone who loves Uncharted, lol. And, as mentioned, I much prefer the solitar...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

I’m only mildly enjoying Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it’s not as good as the first two games IMO. That's disappointing to hear because for me the first reboot, while decent, was a far cry from what I wanted in TR. (Think Core developed entries.) Have you only played the first, because the second (Ri...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

I played Dawn of Fear, Fernz Gate, Gauntlet and Resident Evil 2 (remake). While I liked them all for the most part (especially RE2 remake), Fernz Gate is the one that I decided to keep playing because I’m in the mood for a retro style 2D pixel art turn-based JRPG more than the others. Dawn of Fear i...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

I finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it was the Temple of Doom of the latest Tomb Raider games. It wasn’t as good as the first two games, but it was still decent throughout. They toned back on the combat in favor of adventure elements, platforming and puzzle solving. There are a few town and villag...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 248: 10/1/22: Asterigos: Curse of the Stars/Overwatch 2 Edition

I’m only mildly enjoying Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it’s not as good as the first two games IMO. Despite it offering a lot of what I like in third person action adventure games, it hasn’t really been compelling me to play. It feels kind of like a by the numbers type of game without anything about it...

Are you sure you want to play that? "A word of caution should be given regarding the difficulty, since both regular enemies and bosses can prove to be quite hard to beat, especially during the final act." https://rpgamer.com/review/ender-lilies-quietus-of-the-knights-review/ I’m still int...
