Excluded is the one month of IGN+ or whatever. This one actually seems kinda decent, if not for the fact I have no interest in the System Shock remake.

    I’m going to cancel my membership, I will not support the devs of Atomic Heart as they support Russia.

    I wanted to like Atomic Heart because it’s my favorite genre/style (cyberpunk/immersive sim). But ironically, it felt like it has no heart. I was so bored by the gameplay, the writing, and the characters. Actually, the MC and his assistant are actively annoying. It looks really good, but it’s just not compelling.

      Oh, I’ve also played the System Shock remake. It’s pretty good in both story and game elements, but it is missing some modern refinements that make games more accessible. So just expect that if you play it, you might have to take some notes about objectives and codes that a modern game would just remember for you. I don’t think it’s a detriment, and you may end up enjoying the more obtuse nature.

      And then maybe you too can take a long break from the game and come back to think, “What the hell was I doing?”

      Agreed, the story and characters really make no sense. I still found the game interesting enough to play it to the end, and it was ok. It was really the setting that kept me going, though.

      PSA, the Trapped in Limbo DLC is hot garbage and should be avoided, it will instantly ruin any good memory you had of the game.

      The vibe and the music are 10/10, the story and gameplay 4/10.

      Still enjoying it, but not nearly as good as a lot of rpg classics

      I’ll second that. If you don’t have a friend or group to play with, jump on one of the official servers. I did one run like that, the other players were quite helpful and generally positive (I was on a PvE server, can’t speak for PvP).

    Atomic Heart was an absolute slog. Most of the enemies are the generic dummy from Spirit Halloween, the story gets rushed into 40 minutes of cutscenes at the end, it was a drag getting there and the main character is written like he’s trying to impress 13 year olds with swears. Even has a stupid catch phrase and hates his glove for no reason. “Hey there I’m Charles I’m here to help you out and give you super powers!” “FUCK YOU CHARLES I HATE YOU AND HOPE YOU DIE YOU ANNOYING PIECE OF SHIT”

    Also I guess the devs support what Russia is doing to the Ukraine so don’t give them money.

    Caravan SandWitch is pretty cute. I enjoyed playing it even though the ending is kind of mid.

    i’m finally happy for the first time in a while. I think it typically comes down to “ah I already have the big game(s)”, or not. sometimes they really are just bad tho.
