I recently picked up the early access of Gloomhaven on Steam. For those unfamiliar, it's the digital adaptation of the #1 ranked board game (for the last 4 years now). It's a dungeon crawl but you use cards from a custom deck to do everything. Every turn you choose 2 cards, using the top ability of one, and the bottom of the other. Every time you reshuffle your deck, you lose cards which means the game has a built in "timer" where efficiency is important. Even in beta, the game can be played online with friends as a co-op, so my usual game crew that plays this in person all joined up for the online version and everyone was impressed with how easy the interface was, and how straight-forward the gameplay was. The full version of this game is likely to be released later this year (I got the early access for about $20). It's a fantastic game that doesn't lose any of the tabletop fun while being significantly faster to play (average dungeon playtime is about 30-60 mins I find on digital vs 1.5-2 hours in person) since you don't need to do anything for the monster turns.

So I finally got around to playing the Hitman trilogy. I have to say these are some of the best games I have played, and playing them brought back my passion for stealth action games. I'm a third of the way through the latest entry and man it's amazing, easily the best one. The thrill of making it through a full mission without getting compromised and getting a perfect score is like no other. Highly highly recommend these games, top notch.

Bought an Oculus Quest 2 over the weekend. Wow!
So far I bought The Thrill of The Fight and Onward. Both games are so much fun. I played Onward last night with a couple friend who have had Quest 2's for months. I have a lot of catching up to do. The game is designed to be as realistic as possible. You have to reload the guns like you would in real life and not all guns load the same; you keep your ammo on your belt, you must pull it out and put it in on the fly while dudes are firing at you and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
What a great way to get active and socialize while trying to socially distance.

Decided to buy the Mass Effect Legendary Edition that released this week. Remastered versions of the original trilogy. I had never played any Mass Effect games before. I tried the original about a year ago but it felt too dated and couldn't get into it. This remaster definitely changed that though and 12 hours into the first game I can see why these games are so well respected. Really enjoying it so far. The world is just so fleshed out. Anyone else played the trilogy?

Yeah for sure. The nice thing about the subscription service is you get all the new sports games, not just NBA, each year along with 100s of other games including new AAA games and all xbox studios games on day 1. The value is kinda outrageous for the price of 2 AAA games per year. Especially considering I have never once paid for the service. I have gamepass ultimate which includes xbox live gold, xbox and pc gamepass, EA Play and xcloud. Xbox rewards program has earned me enough rewards points to have the service for free until 2024 and by then I will likely be able to get it free for another couple years. No brainer.Last edited by Machine; Mon May 24, 2021, 09:05 PM.
