I’m changing my gaming habits. I find myself dropping games far too often and I think it’s because the subscription services create a sense of wanting to play every game of “value” because you’re paying for it. So I end up starting a lot of games despite them not being for me or just being merely good. So I’m pivoting to playing stuff that’s critically very well received and / or something that’s clearly my jam. No need for filler content.

Indiana Jones:

This huge snake is really eating me alive. Only thrusting my own god damn spear at it works.

I played about an hour of High On Life and that may have established it as my most hated game of all time. Makes me hate Rick and Morty as well.
 
I’m replaying System Shock 2 on Steam. I initially played it when I borrowed a friends copy just after it came out and he’d completed it back in 2000. While the graphics have aged as feck, the sound design, general mechanics and ambience of the game still holds up amazingly well. I know there’s third party mods that improve the textures though so I’ll look into that.

I wish someone would remake it in Unreal Engine 5 with VR gameplay akin to Half-Life: Alyx. I can imagine the SHODAN reveal scene having the potential to be pretty special in VR.

It heavily rotates with Deus Ex, Oot and Turrican 2 as my favourite game of all time.

SS1 got a decent remake, but I think SS2 would benefit more from a labour of love like Black Mesa. A full on VR version would be ridiculously awesome though.

Played it over a decade ago based on your recommendation and indeed it was a fantastic game, albeit I rate Deus Ex quite a bit higher.

Yeah mate, DX is superior. But I love the setting, story and that part of SS2 so much too, so although DX is still my favourite of all time SS2 runs it close based on memories more than anything.

If you haven't tried it, I've played the first couple of hours of the remake of 1 it's very decent so far. I really need to go back to it, I keep forgetting and endless new games keep taking my attention. Though if it's true to the original, be prepared to be lost more often than not :lol:
 
Not really my genre but the attention to detail in Indiana Jones was brilliant. Also had about the right length. Didn't pursue many of the side quests.

8.5/10 from here.
