Still working my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong at my own pace and trying to explore as much as possible and do all the side quests I can before progressing further. The fact that I'm 40 hours in at the end of Act 2 and I've only recently discovered several new areas is both exciting and frightening. Also, call me basic, but I think I've developed a crippling addiction to Wanderer's Crest. Is it the least creative way to play the game? Yes, probably. Will that stop me from hacking everything to shreds as quickly as the game will let me? No, quick slash and vertical pogo is life.
I actually beat two games over the past week! It's pretty rare for me to play a game from start to finish...
First one is Teardown. It can be described as a "voxel based heist simulator" - but that really translates to "destroy and use elements in the world to set things up with as much time as you want, so you can grab items spread across the map and return to your escape vehicle in 60 seconds." It's executed really well, but it would be a difficult game to 100%. I probably overdo it, but I got the achievement for spending 1hr planning a single heist, so it can be time consuming. Technically I still haven't made it through the expansions, but the base game was a lot of fun (admittedly with some head-scratchers).
Second game I beat is Oblivion Remastered. For this one, I did actually 100% the achievements, which was more straightforward and simple than I expected. Basically just played through all the factions and DLC. I beat the original Oblivion a bit before Skyrim was released. But I definitely did not do much (if any) of the Shivering Isles DLC, which was... pretty unique. I had fun with this but I'm definitely at a point where I've had enough and don't see myself going back.
Megabonk!
What a way to kill 10 minutes! I'm still not very good but getting certain weapon/tome combos is very fun and I've been enjoying competing with my friends.
10-20 minutes has been all I can manage per day, but I just got a steam deck and it's a game changer.
