Started playing LISA the other day. One of the bullet points on the Steam page is "a life ruining game experience" and the first 1.5 hours has certainly lived up to that. Can be pretty depressing at times.
Still enjoying it a lot thus far, though.

Just finished Yoshi's Wooly World last night with the wife in coop mode. Absolutely adorable game, with just enough frustration and challenge to keep you playing well past when you thought you would stop. We ended up doing the whole 100% thing, and I would estimate that it was around 25-30 hours of game play for the two of us.
Pros:
- Mind-numbingly adorable. Everything about the game is cute to the power of 10.
- Easy gameplay mechanics ala Mario (every single one), with a nice "mellow mode to make it even easier for inexperienced players.
Cons:
- The most visually interesting Yoshi's all show up in world 1. After that it's a slog of "random solid colored yoshi #21" variants.
- Some levels are definitely NOT coop friendly. Several of the levels will have sections that force the player along. But only one player at a time. That ends up killing the other player.
Overall, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it if you enjoy mario/yoshi games.
Now playing: Transistor, FFRK.
I beat the campaign in Anno 2205 but there's still much to do.
Overall I'm enjoying the game. It's a little easier than 2070 or 1404 but I really like some of the stuff they streamlined and I appreciate not needing to directly compete for land with other factions as I never enjoyed that part of the previous games. Also aside from the first time it's introduced to you, combat is entirely optional which is good because it's terrible.
Found a copy of the first Armored Core at a shop yesterday and picked it up because it was strangely missing from my collection (played a ton when I was younger, not sure what happened to my copy). Played a few missions last night and still think it's pretty fun. Controls will take some getting used to (pre-analog stick, so it's tank controls for the d-pad, L1 and R1 strafe, L2 and R2 move the camera up and down) but not as bad as I thought they would be.
Also picked up Sunless Sea and have put an hour or two into it. Seems good thus far but I've just scratched the surface.
The combat really is bad, can you even group your ships because I can't figure out how to? I'm not loving the game but I like it, it feels a little simplistic to me but i'm not very far into it so I'm not writing it off but with The Witcher 3 DLC and Fallout 4 I'm not sure how much time I will be able to dedicate to it in the near future.Quote:

The main thing is that you won't be fiddling around trying to find the optimal configuration for your production buildings in this one. I don't know about you but after a couple dozen hours playing 2070 I cheated at this by going to the wiki and looking up the optimal layouts, so I don't mind that this has been simplified.
It's fun juggling the 3 different region types and setting up trade routes between them to keep your population happy and your income in the positive. If you're still just on the Temperate region you're going to feel like this game is way too easy.
Played Vermintide a lot which I really enjoyed as well as Ark which never seems to end. Have put them both on hold now that FO4 is out. Such a great game...
I'm in the Arctic region ATM, but I also just bought the Steam Controller so I have all kinds of new stuff to mess with lol.Quote:

Love how streamlined it feels.
Driver: San Francisco is my second favorite racing game of all-time behind only San Francisco Rush: 2049 (just realized the naming, that's weird lol).
On another note, Fallout 4 kinda sucks. It is so clunky.
No. It is not. It's a fallout game, I really have no idea what people were expecting? The second coming of the Vault Dweller I guess.Quote:

I'm liking it a lot! I find it way better than FO3.Quote:

I'm level 65 and have only done the first part of the main quest. If you just rushed through the main quest, you did both the game and yourself a disservice.Quote:
