;Wolfenstien The New Order: I decided to play this game on the equivalent of hard. Hard difficulty is mostly fine, with some being one-shot thrown in. I dropped the difficulty on the final boss after a few tries. It was too much BS with not being able to see (smoke and fire), everything being on fire, and getting one shot.  


:Deciding who to save in the beginning only seemed to effect a few voice lines. There are also a few vehicle sections that aren’t bad, but aren’t anything special. The stealth mechanics are half baked. The AI doesn’t seem to know what to do, but it gives you some free kills and can largely be ignored.

* Ghostrunner
*Project Warlock II (retro shooter)
* Ion Fury Aftershock
*Bright Memory: Infinite


:Otherwise the gameplay is tight and fun. Wish you got more perks and more upgrades for weapons, but what there is is good. Story ranges from over the top, to right in the feels. Glad I finally played it.

;Resident Evil 3 REmake: First of all, the new Jill look is great. I'm torn on how I feel about this game. On the one hand the gameplay is a natural evolution of RE2. The doge is a great mechanic once you get the hang of it. On the other Nemesis isn't used as well as Mr. X. Aside from the first encounter with him, he's only scripted events. All the areas are unique, but some are far to short. The streets of Raccoon City and hospital are the best two. Overall RE2 is better, but this is still a solid game.

:I’m torn on how to feel about this game. Jill and Carlos are amazing characters. I feel the game does a good job displaying their escape from RC. Nemesis ranges from scary to scripted. The first time he’s encountered he chases you around downtown (awsome!). After that it’s some run away sequences and a few arena boss fights. I wish the downtown section at the start was bigger. It would’ve helped with the power up motif most RE games have. After downtown you rarely don’t have enough ammo to take out most things. Maybe it’s cause I was hoarding it some, but I did let loose more as time went one. To wrap up, RE3 could’ve been better, but it also could’ve been much worse. I’m glad I played it, and I think it’s a solid conclusion to the RC trilogy.

;Firewatch: The story tackling some of the challenges of dementia had me invested quickly. The radio conversations with Delilah are unique. I'd love to see another game do something similar. I was glad the ending didn't explain everything with some supernatural explanation. Keeping everything grounded was the right call.

:Some previously written thoughts are below.


:I beat this game in a day. That’s not a bad thing mind you, I appreciate when games don’t overstay their welcome. Gameplay wise it’s nothing more than a walking simulator. Story wise it’s quite a wild ride. Your wife getting dementia hit home for me, wasn’t expecting that. I was glad the ending didn’t get fantastical as well. It didn’t chalk everything up to magic or something else, which would’ve cheapened the first ⅔ of the game. The story is trying to tell you that avoiding your problems can lead to new ones, which is a good lesson.
