I finally got into Terraria here lately, and I'm quite enjoying it. Some friends introduced me to the game last month, and thus far, I'm finding it really engaging and a bit arcadey. It's probably gonna be my mild addiction for a bit.

Over 200 hours into Elden Ring, NG+ and another character for PvP. I’m still finding new things every day.

I mean I have beaten the original Bioshock at least 15 times, don't have all the achievements yet, and still find new things each time I play

Never played a Bioshock. I came to Elden Ring from Call of Duty, so it wasn’t hard to impress me. CoD has a tiny single player game, and multiplayer is very one-dimensional. Elden Ring is huuuuuuuuuuge.

Bioshock is addictive, It needs an update with like the game engine and can feel clunky now after playing newer games, but they hide stuff everywhere, the story is good, and on most platforms you can get the whole collection for like 20 bucks for all 3 games and DLC, and some of the DLC is really good

That's one of those games I got to go back and 100%

Made MAJOR progress in La-Mulana 2 today. I was stuck needing to farm 1,000G to solve the "Song of Paradise" puzzle, but hit upon the fairy exploit allowing me to spam fairy summons until I got the money fairy, and had all the coins within just 20 minutes. It gave me the proper clue for acquiring a specific item I needed to progress. I've unlocked quite a few things, but I'm leaving it for now at activating the boss rush in the Hall of Malice. I love how the background changes and a real banger of a BGM kicks in when you hit that switch.

I started to do that today. Cleaned up worlds 1 and 2.

Ok so.
Bayonetta 3 is good. But its the worst of the trilogy which is a shame because it does the most unique stuff. But I don't care about uniqueness if it comes at the cost of fluidity, intuitiveness, pacing, and fun.

The game is at its best when you play as Bayonetta herself. Even then there's some caveats, but for the most part she's very fun. Summons become a lot more fun as the game goes on. They're little garnishes to combos when you open up enemies or use them as finishers. That ScaleBound DNA found it's way into Bayonetta and it's a lot more seamless than I thought it was initially. And sometimes they need to be used in light puzzle solving. It's actually kind of impressive how these MASSIVE kaijus come in, switch out, and drop out as briskly as they do. You would think they'd have so many of the usual limitations that they'd be clunky to the point of uselessness, but they're not. They're very elegant, freely useable extensions of your kit. They should be used when you have the magic but their power requires balancing on a tightrope.
Bayonetta now turns into different demons based on what weapon is equipped. Each one provides a different movement option or plays a role in a scripted sequence. These sequences are not always that fun, but usually they are. And the ones that aren't too interesting are still entertaining at least. And Bayonetta's weapons are more insane than ever. Same addicting, familiar flow and punch to them.
Jeanne's missions are fun little arcade treats. They're short and non demanding. I'd rather play as Bayo, but they're nice. 2D """stealth""" levels with limited combat options. You have to pick up weapon power ups, hide in vents, perform stealth instakills, and fight Contra-esque bosses. The scenery gets a bit tired after the first 3 missions with her, but they don't overstay their welcome. I'd play more of these as side unlockables.
Viola sucks.
Wholly sucks. Her design. Her character. And most importantly how she plays. She isn't an obtuse character to use. She's actually...pretty fucking fast. But she's -extremely- linear. The gulf in creativity between her and Bayonetta is striking. It's the difference between playing Dante in DMC 5 and playing him in DMC 1 . It's incredibly boring how little she has at her disposal. She gets NO additional tools beyond a single, very underwhelming super form (which is less interesting than Bayonetta's). And she makes you juggle muscle memory with your defensive options.
Bayonetta's Witch Time is activated by pressing ZR before an attack hits.
Viola's Witch Time is activated by pressing RB when an attack hits. But you still evade with ZR??
Her Witch Time doesn't offer anything different as far as I'm concerned so I don't get the change.
I just breeze through her missions. I really don't like playing as her.
There's some other issues too that effects Bayonetta and Viola. The camera is the worst it's ever been. It updates your targets very poorly so it gets annyoing when certain enemies are nearby and it's very obtuse when doing movement challenges. Many enemies are also VERY huge and the camera simply cannot compensate their size.
Umbran Tears this time are so frustrating to get that I just don't even try anymore. It's a shame because they straight up unlock side levels. They make you chase down a very small bird and crow in claustrophobic areas that fight with the camera. Or they make you do platforming challenges in a game that 100% is not a platformer. For Bayonetta, you can only chase them as your big, imprecise demon forms where you must be moving to maintain their speed or you revert back. Viola fairs a bit better because she just sprints so it's much more manageable.
And the side challenges are just...dumber in this game than I remember 1 and 2's. Really overly specific annoying stipulations. Some of which I don't even know what to do.
Rodin's shop is also kind of less useful? You can only buy healing items, costumes, and accessories. But the accessories don't do a whole a lot and you're punished for using items. You can buy things for Viola's room, but me and my friends have not figured out what the Hell her room is. I've never seen it. You don't get weapons from him anymore either
.
OH! And I have NO clue how you're supposed to do those time missions as teen Bayonetta. Run to this bridge across the map in 15 seconds except brat Bayo can't move quickly at all. Some of this is probably just me, but the past 2 games and similar games outside this series are a lot more forward and clean with what you should do.
I'd still say buy it, but 2 is definitely the better game. 3 does have spiders that deliver you packages though so that's a big plus.

Lots of Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and Elden Ring.
With some League on the side because I have a problem.
The most recent single-player game being an older Final Fantasy title.
Though to be honest I'm just wasting my gaming time waiting for that Hogwarts game to come out.
Since rowling had no direct involvement in the game's story or production, I was able to convince myself to pre-order it.
Because of Onyx Hippogriff!

30 hours into this Astlibra JRPG. It's a nice solid 7/10. One of the better RPG's I've played in a long time and it really takes me back to 2005 playing a lot of doujin soft stuff for Windows XP. It's very nostalgic.

Solved one of my major progression blockers in La-Mulana 2.
I'm still not quite sure what I need to do next to actually progress -- I'm tracking my own notes about how to navigate the Underworld to reach its boss room, there's also something about Hrasevelgr I need to figure out, I haven't figured out how to operate (or even brute-force) the Brahma statue puzzle yet, but at least I'm no longer stuck on what I was before.
I'm aware of several clues pointing me to the Underworld / Eternal Prison, except I couldn't do anything: Anubis's room was filled with lethal poison gas and even ignoring that, Anubis claims he has no business with me. I found the "Room of Judgement" with the scales on it, but a statue called Ammit snaps down on me if I so much as attempt entering the room.
Anyway, I reviewed some clues about Ammit hiding in a "garden of stars" and then tried pulling out an item in the room in question and -- viola! -- Ammit as a miniboss. This unlocked the Room of Judgement, with the Ammit statue on the far side of the room where it should be. Now Anubis's room is clear of poison gas, he gives me three riddles which weren't too difficult to solve (okay, I did spoil one of the solutions but it was incredibly minor). I got some lore and a "Shining scythe" for an NPC who unlocked the boss of the Icefire Treetops, so now I stand at 7 major bosses defeated and received the "power of fire" necessary to defeat certain minibosses like Fenrir and Vidopnir.
In the meantime, I beat all the minibosses in Hall of Malice and unlocked its major boss, Echidna, who definitely has some design similarities to Tiamat from the first game (remake edition); I also acquired the last three mantras, and (after a quick save) attempted the forbidden combination which turns out to be all 10 at once -- and which immediately kills you (unless, presumably, when used in a very specific context alluded to by a few prophecy tablets throughout the game). I'm also trying to review the clue about "Takemikazuchi's breath" because there's one miniboss I can't even fight because flammable gas throughout the room keeps igniting, there's got to be some means of dispelling it...
I also made it to the "Dark Star" that is Nibiru. There's one puzzle in there I can't solve because I have to activate three Mjolnir receptacles simultaneously, which the item is too unpredictable to do by default. I've heard there's an equip I can find somewhere to solve this, but I don't recall finding any clues about it yet.

I’ve been playing computer games since I was a kid. I still remember my dad playing and me standing next to him and watching. It was exciting to stand even for 2-3 hours and watch my dad playing various computer games. I even remember how 20 years ago, my dad played Diablo 2 as soon as this game was released. I have been living in another city for several years, but I decided to play this game a couple of months ago. This game reminds me of my childhood. I even found a d2r lore rw on the internet to play the game more exciting.

Recently I`m killed the first boss "fairy" in crashlands. Lol, I've been waiting for five years until there's a brave man who will translate the game into Russian, because the level of English in it is just terribly demanding
I really miss Gothic. And I would very much like to pass game and start Arx Fatalis. Eh, I have so many good games.
