Just looked over some stuff coming in the next few weeks. It's beginning, the holiday rush of interesting games. 

A friend at work got me thinking about Ori and the Blind Forest, so I think I'll download that from Game Pass next week. That got me thinking about Guacamelee 2, also on Game Pass, so I think I'll download that too. It's going to be platformers for me. But there's more. 

I forgot to mention that I slipped in some Minecraft in between all the games I played this week. I went in wanting to create a fishing village. It didn't quite work out. 

I played a lot of Battle Chasers today, then tried out Slay the Spire and then finished up with several fun levels of CODBOps II. 

I discovered what I did wrong in Wolfrenstein Younblood, but I had put the game away already. So I jumped into We Happy Few on Game Pass. Then I got annoyed and switched to Apex Legends but got kicked out for network problems. Finally i tried Battle Chasers: Nightwar and got hooked. 

Both Mark and I were playing the game solo today. We were pleased for a while but ultimately got very frustrated and stopped playing. Following are some reasons. 

I was playing Monopoly Plus on Xbox a few weeks ago and something struck me as I watched the backgrounds of the 3D enhanced board you can play. There is a really cool model city with moving trains, cars, a waterfront on one side with boats, an amusement park and skyscrapers in the middle. I thought, this would be a great model railroad setup to make in real life. Take a look at about the 1 minute mark. . 

I forgot to mention that I upgraded to Ultimate. It actually saved me some money because I get the first month (or was it 3) for a dollar. Ultimately (he he) it's the same price I was paying for Gold and Game Pass together, $15. Now I have access to PC stuff. I wonder if I'll get back into PC gaming and if anything will work at all on my Win 7 laptop. 

I made some progress on Pre-Sequel today. I'm playing just for story. I want to finish the game and DLC before B3 comes out. Then I dowloaded some new stuff and tried Old Man's Journey from Game Pass. Interesting and beautiful game. More below. 

I got stuck in two puzzle games today, Inside (again) and Book of Unwritten Tales 2. I always hope for great things from adventure games but usually they drive me a little crazy. The problems I come across in these games occupy my mind later on. I think I figured out what I need in Book of Unwritten Tales 2 but I'm still clueless in a problem with Inside. What to do.
