I've played a whole lot of AV2. What a great game. Really impressive how it does the Metroivania thing, doling out new powers/systems that give you access to new areas. I'd guess I'm in the final quarter or so, but I really don't know.

I was thinking of picking up Axiom Verge 1 & 2 in a recent Humble Metroidvania Bundle. What I've seen looks pretty cool.


I took a quick breather in my Morrowind adventures to play a shorter game, Beacon Pines. It's a narrative focused game centering on a mystery in the titular town where all the denizens are anthropomorphic characters. It was really well written and had some real charm. I did have a few issues with it, but it was a pleasant palate cleanser for Morrowind which is going to be on my plate for who knows how long, lol. Back to Vvardenfell I venture...

Enjoying Stellar Blade. It's kind of a mix of different genres, but I think it works overall. Story is decent so far - we'll see where this goes.
