I still feel a bit under the weather, so I haven't been gaming much by myself, but I have played some with my friends and my kid. First up, R.E.P.O. with my friends. Turns out I still suck at this game. Also, which architect do these people go to for the buildings and why are they so fond of...

As far as I know the only Dragon Age related series is Dragon Age: Absolution. I haven't seen it and it doesn't seem to be rated very well.

Spore is 1 decent minigame, 3 mediocre ones and then a mediocre... what do you call the genre where you're spending most of your time traveling between planets/islands/cities and trade or do simple quests? One of those. The most impressive feature, the editor, becomes pretty much entirely...

White Knight: Black & White, because I was a kid when I played it and wasn't aware of how overhyped it was. Also nostalgia is a powerful thing. Doomsayer: Spore, because I'm extremely aware of how overhyped it was and disappointment is also a powerful thing. Neither of these have been relevant...

I can recommend ignoring the main quest the game gives you. It doesn't reward you with anything useful and instead starts a timer that forces you into a war with three factions once it runs out. Occasionally it'll spawn some enemies you can defeat to slow the timer, but it's honestly just...

I wholeheartedly agree with Joshua on this one. The kind of people who would prefer to play The Outer Worlds in third person should be separated from civilised society, locked in a prison preferably in an active volcano or on the dark side of the moon.

I played some more Bannerlord. I made an excellent choice with the kingdom I decided to join, they're absolutely killing it. However, they really like being at war all the time and it's proving to be impossible to safeguard all of my villages by myself, so it seems it's time to give my...

Played a bunch more Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord today. Turns out that cities give you income, which means I was no longer losing almost 2k a day. Then I got given 2 castles and it turns out those don't even make enough money to pay for their own garrison, so now I'm pretty much back to where I...

I played a bunch more Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord yesterday. I can now have up to 130 soldiers in my party, but it turns out that paying and feeding that many people is quite expensive, so I have to constantly look for quests to make more money. Luckily there are plenty of people in need and...

I'm sorry to hear that. We had a bit of a scare with our dog a few months back when we noticed a lump just under his ribcage, but the vet took a sample and said it's just a fat deposit.

I've been feeling under the weather, so I called in sick today. That meant I had a bit more time to play some games today, but I also didn't feel like doing anything too complex. So, instead of continuing Baldur's Gate 3, I started Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. On my first try I got a bit too...

I played one more match of HoMaM: OE, as the dungeon faction this time and on a different map. I suspect the AI didn't work well on the other map I played, as this time it absolutely annihilated me. It somehow had about 4 times the number of units I had, of every tier. I had absolutely no chance.

I did two campaigns in the Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era demo, both with a single-hero setup. The first time I went with the Temple faction and a hero that boosts attack and defense of his units, which was pretty straightforward but meant I didn't really get to cast any spells in...

I do this as well, though most of the time I don't view it as an issue. The main point of playing games is to have fun, not to complete them. I've found that my main issue lately is that I regularly get so sleep deprived I can no longer focus on games that require a lot of reading or concentration.
