Little bit of RE2, Some Mario Party Switch with my boy and his friends, then a few rounds of Realm Royale (just too friggen addicted to it)

I'm currently playing "My Time at Portia" apart from the usual online games like Rocket League and League of Legends. I'm planning to do a Kingdom Hearts month in February and play all the games I can put my hands on and watch the cutscenes from the ones I won't be able to play and top it off with Kingdom Hearts 3.

I'm currently playing Hollow Knight. I got to say that although it's a good game, I'm not sure it's quite as good as I was hoping because it came so highly recommended and Metroidvania is my favorite genre.

I'm fine with limited direction, but there is almost no direction whatsoever. This is just my opinion, but other Metroidvanias have been done better. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest and both Steamworld Dig games recently and I think the best one I've played is Steamworld Dig 2. If you turned off map markers like I did, then there was just enough direction to keep you going and exploring. Steamworld Dig 1 is arguably better in that respect because you had no map markers to turn on, you had one main objective, keep digging, and you found stuff along the way.

Again, I'm enjoying Hollow Knight well enough and I'm going to keep playing it, but I do hope that sometime soon there is a bit more of a clear idea of what I'm trying to accomplish. Currently it's just explore and kill things working toward... I don't know yet.

Right now, I'm currently playing Splatoon 2 and Smash Ultimate on my Switch. although I've already beaten the campaigns on both of them, I still still enjoying the multiplayer and the wins. Funny thing... the only two online games I am enjoying right now are on Nintendo.

And also currently playing Hallow Knight and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, both on the Xbox One X. Hollow Knight is fantastic.--It pains me to say so, but it just might be as good as Ori and the Blind Forest, if not better. and haven't gotten far enough into Tomb Raider to give any opinion on it, other than it looks pretty.

The games I played today were CSGO and Sleeping Dogs. I just hit 700 hours in CSGO, and I plan on ranking up to gold nova by the end of the month. Sleeping dogs is a ton of fun; I am really enjoying the story and the gameplay. I am about less than 20% done with the story, and I am unsure how the story will unfold. However, I can't wait to find out because it has been interesting so far.



I also recently got 100% of the achievements for Dwarfs?!, and I am playing through Mount & Blade: Warband. I didn't play either of those games today though.

All of the games i have mentioned in this post are worth full price. (I bought at least 3 of them when they were on sale though :P )

I have been playing a lot of Surviving Mars lately. Ever since the latest update and 1st DLC the game has become quite a lot more entertaining with better mission goals, more varied random events, new mysteries and generally speaking a ton of minor upgrades to the base game. There's not a lot of "race" in the Space Race DLC, but it does come with a few nice things. The vast majority of improvements are part of the free updates. I feel like there's a little more of an emphasis on "surviving" in Surviving Mars. The plethora of new options available to make the game harder certainly help.

The only thing that really bugs is that the colonists have free will. They have a tendency to change from one work building to the next at random intervals, so in order to keep the production of essential materials flowing, I have to keep checking that everyone is where I expect them to be. More often than not someone has taken it upon themselves to change their workplace and I have to assign them back to where they used to work. It's a little bit of a pain to do, but at least I can now restrict most buildings to only accept workers with the appropriate specialization.

I'm looking forward to seeing what new things are coming to the game. Haemimont Games is making updates, but not quite at the usual break-neck speed that I have come to expect from Paradox Interactive. Then again...less "hot code" and "beta" issues.
