Shadow of Mordor - Got a steam controller recently, still very satisfying and fun to play even if I prefer the sequel.

Quake - The first instalment got a remaster for the 30th anniversary. I’ve always been a Q2 guy personally and have many fond memories playing it at a mates place in primary school. Very much appreciating 1 again with the remaster though.

Factorio - Every so often I still get a craving for this even if the space age release really took a lot of the shine off it for me personally. Still enjoy it but doubt I’ll even make it to rocket launch this run.

Vintage story - Not really a patient game. Very much enjoyed it, very comfy, managed to get a good farm going, some chicken/boars and to Bronze Age. Will probably scape through winter but having recently started the search for iron will probably drop it until further updates.

Oooooo, how is the steam controller? I’ve been tempted to get one for couch gaming…. And for playing shadows of Mordor. The nemesis system 🤌🤌🤌

I rate it hey, I spent ages um’ing and ah’ing over a new controller when my old one died. Really solid for its price, zero complaints so far. Oh man, I love the nemesis system, so annoyed it was patented. Especially in the second game, video game crack for me.

I played it about six months ago and sometimes get the craving too. Does Satisfactory scratch that itch or is it too different? (Haven't played it but was thinking of picking it up next time it's on sale -- or the itch gets itchy enough...)

It did in good part for me but full disclosure I’ve only played a few hours on a free weekend but still intend to pick it up. I’d say it definitely will but there’s something to be said for the transition from top down to first person. There’s a specific feeling to setting up an entire block in factorio to be a nuclear power plant and block clearing artillery trains that I’m not sure exist in satisfactory. That said I largely haven’t picked up satisfactory yet because I strongly suspect it will consume a month of my life at least when I do.
