Zomvember
This month has been more varied than the previous one… After finishing Temtem (and being tortured by its endgame that I finally abandoned) I continued with the wonderful Baldur’s Gate III. It has so many possibilities that I still haven’t finished it!
It was fun to remember old times with this online "Pokémon", but in the engame became tedious to have to plan for every damn battle.
Also, getting every damn achievement is a damn odyssey.
It's over for me.
I haven't finished it yet and they have already released an update to play in Custom mode that allows you to roleplay more by hiding the required roll to succeed dice checks, hiding enemy HP in battle, hiding failed Perception Checks, etc. I love it!
If someone comes home and tells me they’ve never played Left 4 Dead 2 I feel obliged to show them what they’ve been missing all this time. Playing it on LAN brings back so many memories….
A classic to play with friends. I can't get enough of it and especially thanks to the incredible modder community that has created so many amazing maps and campaigns. I really love this game.
And we also have a horror game/movie because my wife loves the genre and we had to do something after Halloween.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
My wife tends to like these games more than I do, because I hate QTE with all my being. In fact, we haven't finished the game yet because I'm so angry that I've lost a couple of characters to this counterproductive mechanic. I really hate it. But since we're near the end and I don't like to leave things unfinished, I figure that sometime in December I'm going to end the game so I never have to play it again.
I only give it a 4 because the story is interesting with that mix of genres, but nothing more.
Ah, recently a ROG Ally came home and I was “forced” to test how well it emulated games so I gave RetroArch a little try. Just to remember very old times… because when I got over the melancholy I installed a few Epic and Steam games.
RetroArch
What can be said? It emulates retro consoles and arcades… What more can you ask for when you feel like remembering old times.
And it doesn't get a 10 just because I had to set up a couple of things, if it had been totally for dummies I'd give it a 10.
I didn’t know BG3 added a custom mode. That’s pretty cool! Also I should get back on TemTem but I keep hearing about grindy it is. Congrats on your progress!
Temtem is pretty grindy in my opinion, but it entertained me for a while. I can already say that I finished it when the drop rate was crazy (my brother played the beta and told me it wasn’t like that before).

You could switch to the easiest difficulty?
Even on that difficulty the heartbeat challenges consistently fail if you have a slight input lag on the controller. We are not pro gamers but we are not one-armed either and yet we always fail these events. So I can only attribute it to bad mechanics.
Congratulations on your assassination! I’m also on the journey to 100% tem tem, that might be a while though. QTE’s suck so bad, it’s why I never got into the Tombraider series.
100% Temtem?! Then I wish you luck and patience.
In 119 hours I haven’t seen a single Shiny…. or however it’s called in this game.
