Just something I found when I was out doing some Christmas shopping yesterday

And there's me thinking Max Payne is still the best gameplay wise 😄 This does make me more excited to finally play AW2 though! Even if it is meant to be more scary than the first...

And that's how you ended up running the BBC

Your chair at 8am.

It's the only time I'm on today until 10pm as well so I'm more upset about that

My favourite part is when a bunch of people are trying to talk but because it's over Teams, it's all delayed and no one hears what the other is saying

Literally me at this 8am work meeting

I'm so happy Alan has worked on his cardio!! He can sprint for more than 3 seconds now!

I also quite like how they've improved nearly all the other gameplay aspects as well

Oh boy, straight away did I notice the gameplay improvements! That was my biggest issue with the first game and this feels so much better

Time for some more Alan Wake-ing then. Never did play this one back in the day

There's a very good chance Earth Must Die will be a day 1 purchase. A point and click with a great cast (give me Matthew Holness in anything) and some excellent humour. The demo made me laugh a whole bunch #SteamNextFest

A new pin for the collection

Ok, I love the sound of this. Adding it to my list of demos to play!

Nighthawks, a pretty lengthy and involved demo which is always nice. A blend of an RPG and visual novel, with vampires being all vampy.

Seems like it has potential to be good if the writing holds up. I'm really unsure about some of the musical choices but it has a decent atmosphere #SteamNextFest

Game 43 - Alan Wake Remastered. I hadn't played this since the Xbox 360 days and halfway through, I was worried the aged and janky controls were going to make me hate it.

Luckily, the weird and whacky world of Alan Wake carried me through. Not a masterpiece, it has flaws, but a good game ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We abandoned Returnal for the exact same reasons and we both dislike Squall too!

OK, I did enjoy the second DLC more in the end but I don't really see what they offered story wise? They feel very skippable

I love those games and I'm glad you're enjoying them too 🙂
