October 2026

Positives of this month: I’ve finished AC: Odyssey and loved it through all its 125 hours of game time. Oficially the longest single-player game I’ve played through.
Negatives? I was suddenly called for an urgent project at work which means I’m away from home from monday to friday pratically every week. Not much gaming time after that, sadly. And that’s not counting with another new project coming in in November, so it’s gonna be a very busy end of a year for me.
Still managed to play a bit on the days I was at home, so it was still a very positive game for me and my hobbies. We will see how next month goes.

Fantastic game. To make me play through it in a bit over two months pratically without stopping (just one week when I was in holidays in august) without making me feel tired or fatigued with it is just marvelous. This was also the first time I bought a season pass while playing a game because I couldn't get enough of it and didn't want it to end! I played with Kassandra and adored her character and the actress performance was top notch. The worlds, gameplay and story were all great. A greay odyssey indeed.

The Chef's Shift

Started really well and the different restaurants/cuisines were great, the combinations and mini-games made so that the game isn't just a casual simulation game like so many others. And being a typing one was also a positive point. On the other hand, I couldn't care less for the story, which became tiring by the second restaurant, so I just skipped it all. That, to me, says a lot because that's one of the most important aspects in games for me.

Battlefield Hardline

Battlefield Hardline

5/10
about 8 hours playtime

I heard good things about Hardline but I guess it would be due to being different from all the other Battlefield games? Because I didn't find it that good or interesting.

Remember Me

Remember Me

6/10
about 10 hours playtime
23 of 50 achievements (46%)

I've been wanting to play this for close to ten years now, and I'm glad I finally was able to. The setting is really interesting, story is nice – although it's a bit of a let down by the end –, the enemies and world building is really cool. Overall, the execution could've been better but still pretty cool one.

Cool little game that felt more like a movie than a game.

Congratz for your solid month ! Nice short review for Remember me, the old UI feels dated but your rating makes want to give the game another chance.

To answer you about Hardline, i liked it because :

  • i’m a long Battlefield player, and this one was especially unique for us with its police setting,
  • i like games with a linear story,
  • and this one like the Far Cry serie can be played almost full stealth.

A contrario, AC Odyssey is well made, but i didn’t like the repetitive almost copied-pasted parts of landscapes. It’s something blatant when you play games like Kingdom Come or Gray Zone, where every element is almost placed by hand, allowing to find the way around like an orienteering race.

Good luck with your end-of-year projects !
