Played some more of Darksiders 3 and Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains. Not much to add here.

Started couple of other games. Started Tom Clancy’s The Division with friends. I played a little bit of it a while ago, and while I liked the world building and the gameplay loop, but game started feeling repititive. Now playing with friends, so hopefully won’t have that issue. Played a few missions and so far so good.

Also started Hard West on Switch 2. It’s a turn based tactics game in wild west. It has couple of interesting mechanism, like luck. Each time someone shoots at you, your luck reduces (depending on distance, cover etc), and when your luck is down the shot hits you. You can also shoot people through cover. There is also an area map, where you can do a few things (depending on the campaign)

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    Playing Trails Beyond the Horizon!

    Currently on Act 3, Van Route 4. The end of the previous act was a very interesting surprise and a great character moment.

    Act 2, Van Route 3 Spoilers

    Agnès telling Van she loves him is not something I expected to happen mid-game.

    But it was a really good scene, with Van expressing how important she’s to him but rejecting her since he can’t see her as a romantic partner. I wonder if he was being completely honest there or was acting that way due to their age gap, or if he even has his feelings properly sorted out given all the baggage he’s still processing from this past. Still, that response was very much in-character for him, and I really appreciate the adult way the situation was handled.

    But it doesn’t mean the the Van/Agnès/Elaine love triangle is over - Agnès is not giving up and claims she’ll him over despite the age gap, even if that takes many years.

    Fully focused on Horizon so no progress on other games.

        A bit early to tell. There’s a lot of things being set up in all three routes, so the payoff will say how this game will end up in my ranking.

        But I will say it’s looking very promising so far.
