The ending of another week is just about here, ready to begin anew. Before Monday comes knocking, it's time for the usual GOL community chat post.
For us over here at GOL, there's been plenty of Left 4 Dead 2 while we wait for the upcoming community expansion with The Last Stand. Our streamer Sin has been doing a bunch live on our Twitch Channel and it's been absolutely hilarious. Left 4 Dead 2 released around 11 years ago and it holds up incredibly well. Still hugely popular overall too, with it regularly pulling in close to around 20K players each day.
Personally, I've been torn between a few titles lately. Colmen's Quest turned out to be a pretty great turn-based RPG that sucked me in but looking after the bees in APICO has been absolute joy that I'm seriously excited to see what the developers do with further development to APICO. I've also attempted to learn some game development with GDevelop, which is a surprisingly versatile tool. You can really get going quickly with 2D games on it. I'm also personally very much looking forward to seeing Songs of Syx release in just over a week on September 21, bringing in another interesting city-builder with some grand strategy elements.
Over to you in the comments: what have you been playing? Is it good, is it terrible? Unload your thoughts.
Tried Wonder Boy, the controls killed my fun and patience, one hour and it was uninstalled. Too bad, art is nice.
Finally, I've settled with Katamari Damacy rerolled, it's weird but it's fun and the soundtrack is unique.
Next, Dishonored 2 since I loved the first one.
an excellent concept set in a beautiful world built in an engine that only just manages to keep up. A horrible camera and trying-way-too-hard combat system *almost* get in the way of the story, which is superb. Very worth your time if you can find it on sale
Tried Mirror's Edge and repeatedly failed the tutorial (which did not surprise me at all. I'm horrible at platformers and not great at 1st person, and Edge is literally 100% fist person platforming)
Caught RUINER on Humble, which is a decent enough game with one of the best soundtracks ever. I've been listening to the artist -Sidewalks and Skeletons - almost non-stop for days.
Next up is Arkham City and Quantum Break
I also just bought A Plague Tale based on member recommendation

Quoting: TobyGornowI've finished A plague tale, technically & artistically it's astonishing.Loved it from start to finish.
Ooooh, I have been very tempted by that one. It looks amazing and I'm a total sucker for Bill Blake.
Ok, damnit. Sold.
And of course, became the most revived player in Left 4 Dead 2

Also, on last week "What have you been playing" thread, there was a discussion about Deus Ex games, and it made me want to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution which I did.. And I will probably start a new run of DE:MD too...
Turns out, it has... So I have been playing another playthrough on Era 2, and now I am in the middle of the Era 3 (it seems there are 5 eras... I guess there is only one way to find out )
Apart from that, it seems I ruined the boot section of my laptop, trying to install EndeavourOS. I get a strange Grub command line... The good news is, when typing exit, Windows proceeds to boot normally, so at least it is still usable.
See more from me
