Got back into DarkTide since the update dropped earlier this week. Huge improvement, the new skill trees are way better and there are actually multiple fun and viable builds for every class now.

Darkest Dungeon II
Still a good game but besides artwork production values it does not surpass the first
They simplified and discretized combat, much RNG is removed detrimentally in my opinion. In the first game your hero had a X% dodge stat, you might use one skill to buff dodge +Y% for 3 turns and stack another to additionally buff dodge +Z% for 4 turns. Now your hero has no dodge stat, if you use a skill to buff dodge your hero gets a "dodge" token that is consumed when attacked and gives a 50% chance of dodge. Stacking just gives you another token to use for another attack. Feels like they wanted it to be practically playable as a board or card game.
The mechanism of spending special points between runs to unlock items/upgrades. which I think is considered "roguelike" though none of the OG roguelikes did this, is getting tiresome for me
A lot of elements from the first just seemed weaker. The light mechanic was much less of a factor. The first one did a rare thing for me of making inventory management interesting with the 16 slots + stack limits. I had to make choices between useful alternatives all the time, like can I risk throwing out these bandages to hold a little more treasure. In the second one I would hit the inventory limit and almost always just go in and throw out crap that I clearly didn't need.
It was interestingly themed around memory, it would make sense for me if the entire thing was a demented psychotic delusion of your character

Silent Hill 1.
I'm expecting disappointment in the story department compared to the sequel ( which is OK as most things are disappointing when compared to Silent Hill 2 ) but the gameplay is still compelling - if a little clunkier - and I'm really liking the low-poly low-res 3D.
Silent Hill 1 has an edge over 2 though. Even in the small part I've played, it's much scarier. 2's biggest flaw was that it wasn't that scary.

They unfrick the audio yet? Whenever they shifted to occulus or whatever they're on now you couldn't even hear your squad walking next to you lol
Some dude just walked up the stairs, opened a door, presumably killed someone downstairs because there was a new corpse, walked down the hall, and killed one of us before we domed him and we could only hear the upstairs shots a wipe or two ago lol
I liked the part where the black woman did a knee-slide under the nazi and shot upwards into his testicles, the way the camera zooms into his face and he blinks twice before screaming "MEIN GOTT" and collapses is pure kino. "Don't you never mess with no americans, suga 💅" as she walks away
I played it like three years ago and yeah it's amazing how much better the 2014 reboot was than the second one. If I remember right I got like 75% through the game and got bored and just finished myself to finish it one afternoon like six months later.

I've kinda been getting back into Binding of Isaac recently. Cant stay away from rougelikes. Plus they promised a void rework and actual multiplayer soon!
I have 1000-2500 hours in all of these and play one for a few weeks and then put it down and pick up another. I've bought games in the last few years and always refunded them because they're garbage. I haven't bought a new game since circa 2017 despite playing 10-20 hours a week.

Got back into planetside 2 and man it's a shame that it's still held back by the same fricking flaws it has had since 2016.
Darktide is now to the point where it should have released at and it's decent fun. Even if you're a poorcel like me and average 50 fps.

I am playing the Resident Evil 1 Remake, the old butt one, for SPOOPtober

I also finished the Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC, Separate Ways, which I thought was really fricking good (especially for only 10 bucks)
Never played the RE1 remake before, and I had so much fun with the other one that I thought frick it

Wolfenstein II The New Colossus.
Disregarding drama around it, I just kinda find it boring
Too many cinematics for a shooter
However the worst for me is the stuff in the uboat, especially shooting levels there.

Even Old Blood, which got boring for me after the zombies were unleashed, was fun until you as a player left the actual castle Wolfenstein
I'll give one thing for New Colossus
It lets you to pet a cute pig.
And I've seen reviews that DLCs were more fun than the main game. So I might try those.
