Was more creeped out by Irony of Nightmare than I had expected to be. It was a cheapo bundle game so I assumed it’d be utter garbage, but I’m satisfied with what I got for the pennies it cost. If you’ve got it kicking around your account, try it late at night in the dark with the sound turned up for some holiday spooks.

Destiny 2: Spent one evening playing some of Destiny 2’s holiday festival event. I got my Destiny Grimoire physical anthology in the mail this week having pre-ordered it back in September. Started reading, and have been in a mood to really explore on that game. Wish I had more free time available!


Sale

So far I purchased two DLCs as gifts for a friend, and I might gift another good friend Spellforce 3.

I have bought nothing for myself yet, though I have my eyes on Attentat 1942 and The Town of Light because the historical settings interest me and with super short playtimes I’m likely to finish them despite the ‘life sucker’ games I’m otherwise playing.

I am open to suggestions for story-driven/unique settings/historical/casual games with tiny playtimes though, if you’ve got any hidden gems. :)


I’m flying across the country this weekend to stay with family over the holidays. I have no intention of gaming while gone, so I’ll probably be back to hitting the backlog after the new year.

I wish you all a happy season and a great new years!

Happy holidays!
Spellforce 3 is an amazing game. If your friend likes strategy games, it’s a great gift! :)

Trav

Thanks for confirming the quality! I remember my friend mentioning wanting that and Divinity 2, but since he’s been playing a lot of Age of Wonders I think Spellforce will be the better pick of the two. Have a great holiday too :)

Both of them are great games. I liked Divinity 2 slightly more, but you cannot go wrong with any of them. :)
