Platinum 53 acquired!
A Plague Tale: Innocence
- Basically a 14th century Last of Us. Highly recommend!
August was a productive month!
4 games beat (Neva, Space Marine 2, MvC Collection, and Plague Tale)
Now… time for Gears and Lost Soul Aside! Woooo!

Jumped back into Ghost of Yōtei! I complete a region and take a little break. Seriously though each region could be its own game. I absolutely adore this game though.

I’m finally playing Avowed! I’ve been enamored with this game since the first teaser trailer and then once I found out it was set in the Pillars of Eternity universe I KNEW I had to play this!
Got tired of hoping it would get ported to ps5 (but now I’m sure it will just because I bought it 😂)

MK3 is my favorite Mortal Kombat and I can honestly say this is the game that finally made my hands feel old.
FPS games no problem 😉
Trying to pull off all my old combos 💀
But I beat it and I’m exhausted.

Steam Replay! Just got the deck a few months ago and it’s probably a 50/50 split between the deck and ps5 playtime since getting it. Incredible little machine. Also feel free to add me 😁

FFXIII takes a minute to set up the dominoes but once they start to fall it’s amazing! Chapter 7 complete and on to chapter 8.

Something I just thought about with The Game Awards coming up is that since switching to Bluesky I haven’t had any game plots ruined by spoilers or any show announcements ruined.
Curious is anyone else has had this same experience?

Made it to chapter 7 in FFXIII tonight. I never finished it when it originally released. I remember not being to much of a fan of it but now I’m a bit older and can appreciate the characters a LOT more. It’s like a completely different game.
(Still could do with a bit more exploration though.)
