Well I finished Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars III The Clone Wars last week and had fun with it! However, I am taking a break from the Lego Star Wars series and just to shake things up a bit, I’m going to replay the Spyro series again just as I did last year. Except this time I am going to be playing them in sequential order instead of starting with 3 and then playing 1 and 2.
After beating Spyro 2 last year, I came to the conclusion I needed to play the series again at some point in the future to truly get a feel for all 3 games before playing Reignited. This was something I regretted not doing with the Crash Bandicoot series before playing the N’Sane Trilogy, so naturally I’m not willing to make that mistake again.
As of today, I’m finally committing to it and I’ve started on the first game. So far I’ve already made it past the Artisans homeworld and tomorrow I am going to do whatever’s next. I’m hoping maybe I’ll have a better time with the game than I did last time since it didn’t do as much for me as the others did. Should be fun! 😎

Ongoing:
Diablo 2 - Hardcore Paladin now 97 with half a level to go and then once more up to 99. Until now I found 1 Zod rune and 2 Chams, but 0 Ber and 0 Jah
New:
Drova - interesting scaling of character progress. Keeps me in the game for longer than expected for now reason I can explain, so I have to assume it simply is a fun game.

Avowed is overstaying its welcome a bit. The overarching story never really did it for me, but I liked the gameplay enough.
Zones 1 & 2 were fantastic, by zone 3 I was like "let's wrap this up now".
I'm now in the fourth and final zone and I really want it to be over NOW.

And only 2 days later, I have already beat the game, and sure enough, I had a FAR better time this go round than I did before! I guess since I know the game better now, I was able to enjoy it more and fly through it a lot faster. It probably helps that I started with the first game instead of the 3rd one this time because it means I wasn't fighting all that muscle memory I had from Spyro 3, which I had been used to for over 20 years.
Going to start on Spyro 2 tomorrow and continue my playthrough series. I don't want to do it today because I feel like I need to wind down a bit after playing Spyro 1 so much today. Looking forward to revisiting Spyro 2 again because I had a blast playing that game last year, and I think it might've been the funnest thing I did that year. So I am enthusiastic about seeing how this one goes tomorrow! 😎

I'm on the final chapter of Yakuza Kiwami, it's been refreshing to play a game from start to finish without getting bored BUT at some point the combat started to get a bit tedious, I feel like all the moves you unlock aren't very well documented so I kept finding myself in situations where I thought "I'm sure there's a move for this situation" but couldn't remember what it was, so I just muddled through the hard way, and bosses have like five health bars now which is kinda dumb, like, as I've unlocked skills and abilities they've also gotten stronger, faster and have more health so I'm not really sure what the point was.

I've been playing tomb raider 4-6 remasters. Finished last revelation and chronicles and I'm close to the end in angel of darkness.
Last revelation was the great and the best of these 3 games.
Chronicles was short (in my memory it felt way bigger). Using language from nowadays, it feels like dlc for last revelation.
Angel of darkness was not as bad as it's been painted over the years, but its still a downgrade compared to previous tittles in term of gameplay. As for story its👍.
For the next game, I'm undecided between
fable 2, mad max and dbz kakarot.

Playing Serious Sam The Next Encounter for the PS2.
Was having a great time shooting everything in sight but have now made it to some puzzle platforming sections which I do not remember this game having and not having as much fun.
I can't seem to remap the controls so with jump mapped to L2 and using the analog stick to platform I am struggling in some sections. The shooting mayhem in between those sections is still as good as I remember all them years ago though.

IIRC there‘s an overview of all moves and combos in the game that you can access by pressing triangle in the „Abilities“ menu.

I finished it last night, forgetting all the moves, fighting the penultimate boss was very annoying but not especially difficult, just hard to punch people when they're constantly knocking you down. But I'm sure there was something I could've used to not be knocked down, and I just forgot! Still, great game.

Nice! Have you played Yakuza 0? It’s widely considered the best game of the series (also my personal favorite).

I have been trying out Test Drive Solar Crown as its free play this weekend on GamePass.
Got up to level 12 and unlocked the clans and went for the hip Streets 😎
Playing on Series S, graphics are similar level to Forza Horizon 3.
Car sounds are ace in my starting Alpine A110 and Abarth 500👌
Handling is a bit twitchy, needs settings dialed in I think.
Lots and lots to do in this game, so far. Must admit I'm enjoying it 👍

That Peninsula daily driver race in Ibiza? Yes, same here. I noticed the Ibiza races change tonight though so there may be something new tomorrow. I've gone back to Hong Kong as well, for now anyway.
There's only 3 Clan races so far on HKI and they don't seem to have countdowns so i don't think they rotate like Ibiza does?
One thing I LOVE is the 60+ achievements. Too many games just throw 10 generic ones out, but there's lots for TDUSC.
I might pick up this and TC:Motorfest in sale tomorrow when my credit card rolls over.
Also, will definitely be buying Robocop tomorrow. Which reminds me...

Yeah, I played about 85 hours of it back in 2020, tried to 100% it but decided I'd seen enough by that point, it was amazing though and I loved it. I'm waiting for the next Steam sale to pick up the Yakuza bundle that'll take me up to the sixth game, I think. I can't really imagine that I'll play them all but who knows, I might. I think I'm actually most interested by Ishin, actually, but I'm also keen to play Infinite Wealth, Like a Dragon and, of course, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii... But I don't want to skip over the other games. Especially because you can get them all in a bundle for not much money whenever there's a Steam sale.
Just started Thank Goodness You're Here, legitimately the funniest game I've ever played but, let's be honest, games that are consistently funny are rare, most try far too hard.

I get that, there‘s so many Yakuza games already, even more so when you include all the spin-offs (Like A Dragon etc.).
I‘ve been meaning to play them all in order (I‘ve finished 0, Kiwami 1&2 and 3 so far) but who knows if I ever find the time to do so.
Speaking of Thank Goodness You‘re Here - I‘ve never heard of this game before but it looks pretty interesting. I need to look into it more since it‘s also available on PlayStation.
