As I said, I've had a challenging week.

Before it got challenging however I managed to find a little time to play...

Returnal

Initial impressions are that this game rocks. And I do think that holds true for the first ten hours. The issue I'm having, is that...I cannot stand rogue likes, and this is a rogue like. Every fibre of my being wishes it was a more souls like experience, but it aint. And the thought of having a 6-7 hour run just seems so impossibly far away that it may push me away entirely. However, that's a Me thing. This game is amazing, I just wish I could love it for what it was.

Suzerain: Kingdom of Rizia DLC

I like shooty shooty but I also like talky talky. The KoR DLC for Suzerain is exactly that. You take the role of a newly anointed monarch as he tries to lead his country through the maze of world politics. There's twenty minute long conversations about public infrastructure funding, the occasional assassination attempt and a lot of driving in cars with your personal guard. Yeah. I love this stuff.
