I think last Sunday Farm Together broke my brain. I got so burned out redesigning my fields again that I thought I'd just quit it altogether and my whole routine of about 4 different categories of games. I decided on a "relevancy" approach and simplified it all to just one game, the newest I could find that I didn't have to pay an arm and leg for. So, I downloaded two games that looked interesting that just happen to be on Game Pass. Here they are.

Call of the Sea:

This game interested me in its graphics which are very realistic but brightly colored almost like it was in a cell-shaded style - like a very high-quality comic book. It's a first-person adventure game that's narrative-driven. It takes place in the 30s. A woman is searching for her lost husband. It apparently has some H.P Lovecraft influence but it's not supposed to be a horror game or one that ends up with everyone insane. It just has a surreal nature. Me like that. 

Haven: 

Haven is also a game that attracted me by its art style. I'd say this is even closer to a cell-shaded comic book style than Call of the Sea. It's a third-person action RPG and survival game. It also attempts to depict a loving relationship in a realistic way. These are two young people who escaped an empty planet to explore a new one. You craft items in your ship and fight real-time battles against enemies. The battle system is supposedly like a rhythm game and not intended to break your brain with complexity. I think I can get into that right now. 

I'll start right off with these next weekend. To heck with rewards quests and all that jazz. I'm just chillin' now.

Haven looks really cool.

I saw HP Lovecraft and instantly remembered that series on I think Showtime, and that was just freaky. This game sounds interesting almost similar to the Tomb Raider reboot.
