New week, new thread! What are you playing?

Continuing Assassin's Creed Origins. Closing in onto the final target (I think?). Eh, so many forts and side quests in the final areas. Going to take them on slowly to avoid burning myself out.
 
Played and fully finished Trine. A nice game, the environments were good looking and I like physics based platformers where the player can abuse physics in unintended ways, but it was a bit repetitive by the end (well it was also a 2009 game so it was a different time). One day I'll try the sequels
 
Reverse Collapse, finished chapter 3. The last boss of the mission felt waay easier than the one from the previous mission (it was a bit more gimmicky so i guess that's why).
Gonna replay some missions to find documents i missed previously before jumping to chapter 4.

I agree with this. The train is waaayyy harder. The game forces you to fight against it alongside the reinforcements.

Regarding the documents, I think you don't need to complete the stage. Just grab the document, save the progress and reload a previous save to go back to chapter selection. Should have the document marked as collected.

Anyway, welcome to the main game. You will know what I mean upon starting chapter 4.

Finished the main story of AC Origins base game. The latter half of the main story is like chewing rubber. Geez that was bad.

Just installed the first DLC to raise the level cap. I still like the game for the scenery so I will try to go for 100% achievements.
 
Just finished Darwin's Paradox, 2/3rds of the way through Happy Game, it is not a happy game, playing some Dawnwalker/Star Wars Zero Company/Black Flag/Wolverine on PS5, struggling to commit to one. Just got back into FF7 Part 1 as well.
 
I started Possessor(s). Seems quite alright. Very snappy and I really like the style.
Also finished Proverbs. Been playing it to kill time every now and then.
Also been playing a bunch of HITMAN World of Assassination. It turns out that there's quite a bunch of stuff there that I haven't touched at all. Some are rehashes from Hitman 1 and 2 that I did in those games but not in H3, but some of it is also completely new to me. And even after I'm done with those I think I'm going to keep it installed so I can easily return to it for elusive targets and whatnot. In previous years they've reactivated elusives at the end of the year, hoping they'll do that again this year.
 
Mr. Sleepy Man: ends strong with some voiced emo-pop musical numbers. Majora's Mask was too scary and confusing for me as a child, plus I didn't own the game, only rented it. I guess this is my MM--at least it seems HEAVILY inspired by MM... but I didn't get far, and it's been a long time so I don't remember. Fun 3D platformer/messabout with more interactions than you'd expect. It's so indie you don't expect some of those interactions to be there. It being difficult to ascertain what the player is able to do exactly mars this facet of the game, but it's cool when you stumble in to one. And there's a hint system.

Indika: I mean this is a movie. It's a mix of Black Narcissus (1947) and Heretic (2024). The game is only a few hours long but it's still 50GB, and uh, it seems like instead of compressing the assets, they didn't. So, every time the game loads a new 8GB of shit or however much, it stutters badly. Umm, I had other technical issues. And at times I got annoyed because it's hard to tell what exactly your character is capable of. But anyways, I enjoyed the movie part and wish it was just a movie, really. The factory area is very memorable. Stupid sexy Mr. Dean's thighs. Stupid, sexy Mr. Ilya's body musk.

Completed Pragmata. I'll do the post-game content but maybe in a few weeks.
I enjoyed my time with it, but it gets repetitive despite it being so short. Thought nothing of the story.
