Hey everyone,

My bad for forgetting to post a thread last week. Since then I’ve been continuing to work on Ragnarok and I’ve started Super Mario Wonder with my wife, and a bit with my daughter. I haven’t played too much of Wonder but it really is fantastic so far.

BG3 and Spider-man 2 are next in line and currently on the back burner. I really don’t want to have to juggle 4 games at once but I might have to play some Spider-man 2 soon.

Also in the last week I beat Cocoon. All I can say is…play it. It’s beautiful, the puzzles are great and ramp in difficulty nicely. I know Playdead didn’t make this one, but the comparisons to Limbo and Inside I think are still valid. If you liked those games I would definitely give it a try. I think it’s better than Limbo, and on par with Inside. Idk if I can say it’s better than Inside, but it’s definitely not worse. It’s right there with it I think. I can see how some might like Inside more though. I don’t want to say too much but as far as character, level, and art design, multiple times while playing I remember asking myself, “How did this come out of someone’s mind?” It’s so very alien in all the right ways. Give it a go. I beat it in about 3-4 hours and I’m still thinking about the ending and the whole experience and what it all means.

Anyway, what’re you all up to this week?

    Currently playing Lords of the fallen. I have good time playing but the multiplayer is so bad. And after that, probable Signalis

        Compared to Elden Ring :

        • the combat is faster. The game expects you to attack and not to wait for the opportunity. For example, when an enemy attacks you and you defend with your shield. You loose temporary hit points that you recover only by attacking. If you get hit, you loose all these temporary hit points. It will depend on what gameplay you like.
        • I struggle much more on Elden Ring for the reason above. So for me, Elden Ring is more difficult.
        • it’s very linear for the moment like the old souls (20 hours of game time). It’s not an open world. But the game design of the old souls is better.
        • The customization of your character is very much like the souls. No winner here.
        • The overall ambiance of the game is amazing.
        • The two worlds feature is not really interesting. The mechanic faded pretty quickly for me. It’s now more annoying than the wow effect at the beginning of the game

        I think it’s a good game. There are definitely some flaws but I’m enjoying the experience.
