The Last of Us- Remastered. Just ran into my first bloater.... pausing to consider. Game is quite outstanding in terms of atmosphere, realistic combat, rewarding careful planning and stealth over "guns blazing because I am IMMORTAL!" (which the character most assuredly is NOT). It is HARD, even on "normal" difficulty, and also emotionally fraught.
So- I set it aside for the moment to test drive The Outer Worlds.
Excellent game play, a skill system that actually allows you to make a custom character instead of a "well- we will call it a 'chicken' or a 'goose', but actually every character is a gecko...." Choices are ambiguous and have long-term effects- what may seem the most "moral" can have unintended (bad) consequences.... The NPC faces are a little... creepy... but the graphics in general are quite good. Some excellent humorous moments as well- "It's in French?! I can't READ effing French!" A companion system that allows you to have (I believe) up to SIX companions at the same time- companions who actually do more than get in your line of fire, or cough when you are trying to sneak, or.... To be more positive about that- they provide bonuses to your skills, advice on handling decisions, and also have lives and choices of their own.

Currently approaching the time milestone in my Jade Lotus Syndicate Ironman career. Not sure what happens after that, but I’m thinking of starting a new, harder Ironman career with a fresh merc company.
Hey FelineBoi you ever played XCOM??? Sounds like it’s right up your alley I’ve heard of it but never played it. I’m not usually into games that punish you so harshly, but BATTLETECH is one of my favorite game universes.

I'm done with Heavy Rain - what a masterpiece! What an ending, phew! I figured out who the killer is, but one can't be 100% sure until it happens in the game. I changed my mind about Outer Worlds, now I'm off to The Wolf among us. *howl*
