It's the spiritual successor to D2.

That makes sense. It really has that D2 feel, only bigger and with way more depth. I'm having a blast playing with a friend. The game is difficult too, which is great.

I think I'm starting to understand why I felt D4 was boring too. It felt like the build and attacks weren't as meaningful. The map and enemy designs were inferior and with waaaay less variety. The open world wasn't as interesting for an ARPG as the procedural maps. And, probably the most important part, the maps/dungeons are short in POE2, while D4 I remember some dungeons being a slog to go through lasting way too much time in the same settings. I also remember seeing the same enemies and same designs 30 hours in, to the point I quit due to how repetitive it was. Its crazy that a team with that kind of funding doesn't understand and can't create something this good.

The slower, D2 like gameplay is POE's evil trick to make the game seem bigger than it really is. D4 is huge, and game play is so much faster. I like the slower style. D4's one killing vast mobs just doesn't feel right.
 
I'm a bit over half way through the main story in Talos Principle 2, I'll be playing the DLC immediately after. I think the puzzles are much more interesting in the sequel but the story was much more interesting in the original so far. I'm amazed at just how many more interactions they included in the sequel. The first one only had a few devices you used to solve puzzles and I'm still being introduced to new ones half way through the sequel. There has to be 3-4x as many different devices you have to take advantage of to solve puzzles.

Case of the Golden Idol is an excellent puzzle game. Very good for spot gaming while you have other responsibilities going on (like a newborn, for example).
 
I'm in act 2 of pentiment. What a wonderful game. I'm really surprised Obsidian got the green light for it, but it's a highlight of what they do best. Wish more big developers made passion projects like that.

I've been getting recommandations for the two games. How is it ?

Pentiment was my favorite from 2022.

Finishing Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare tonight, then trying my 2nd walktrough of The Long Reach since I failed the 1st one and got stuck.
 
YouTube randomly recommended some let's play of some girl twitch streamer playing mega Man 2 and 3 and she was so frustratingly bad at it that I had to go spend $7 on the Mega Man Legacy Edition on switch just so I could play them right.

They are undoubtedly my favorite NES games though

That reminded me of watching a Teens React video for MegaMan years ago, and when I looked it up just now, it started at 1:56, so I probably got so frustrated watching these kids be so bad at it that I stopped the video less than two minutes in. :laugh:

It's incredibly frustrating watching people be so bad at games you're good at. I was fine years old when my brother got MM3 on the NES and even at that age I could beat several levels and bosses. Watching a grown woman just show zero pattern recognition skills and keep walking into enemies or making bad decisions had me almost yelling at the screen.
 
I've been trophy hunting on Far Cry 4. It was the first game I bought on the PS4 so it's already a bit nostalgic even though it's only a decade old. Got to the point where I only have three trophies left, two co op and one multiplayer. I was incredibly surprised last night, when I searched for a multiplayer match with absolutely zero hope of actually finding one, that I actually did end up in a game. I don't know if it was a fluke, but I'll need two more of them as the trophy requires me to complete a game in the three different game modes.

Co op trophies aren't a problem since I can just force a friend to do them with me. And doing the outposts and especially fortresses in co op is genuinely really fun anyway.
