Omori It was good, but maybe a bit long. I was pretty exhausted by the end of it. A surprisingly big work, amd lots of fun quirky side-quests.

Finished Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D. I did all the side quests (only had two mini games unfinished that I just couldn’t get hang of), which is the real meat of the game as there’s only four dungeons for the “main” plot. As a result of devoting that time the final boss was really easy, which is a nice payoff. To really challenge myself, before doing the endgame I did a “save as many as possible” cycle to beat all four bosses again and repeat as many quests as possible. It was hectic, but worth it.
Honestly in terms of story, this is easily one of the best games I’ve encountered. It’s got something to say on making as many happy as you can in the time you have.

Steam Sale was on over the Christmas period. My old iPad is slowly dying of old age. Pretty much the only thing I can still do with it is listen to audio drama. It even crashes on Kindle and Internet is too fast for it's age. And my old laptop is now also near obsolete for modern games. So I caved in and bought a Steam Deck.
Will arrive here on Monday. I also got some of the critically acclaimed games in the sale, to be played on the Deck:
- The new Ninja Turtle Game "Shredders Revenge"
- Guacamelee 1+2 (I just love the artstyle)
- Nobody saves the world (from the same developer as Guacamelee, I LOVE the artstyle and this game looks very much up my alley, it has some cool fresh mechanics).
- Doom (2016)- I need to find out what the hype is about; I sadly never got into the franchise and never finished Doom BFG Edition since I was BORED out of my mind (I am not really a Ego-Shooter person, I also found that "Halo" helped me fall asleep, it just dragged)
- Prey (the new one, I loved the old one, but this new one seems to be more like Bioshock)
- Deaths Door (super cute "souls-like game", I have so far avoided souls-like games due to my low frustration tolerance, but this is soooo CUTE).
- Metal- Hellsinger and all expansions (playable Heavy Metal album, you have to slice and dice demons according to the rhythm, blood and gore galore and awesome music)
- And the Warhammer Orks game "Shootas, Blood and Teef" (which just looks like fun any mayhem).
- oh, and I will finally be able to run "Alien-Isolation" (we will see if I dare doing so, this seems to be hardcore horror)
Therefore, come Monday, my escapism needs will be well catered for, at least for the upcoming months.

I have seen other people play it back then, but even back then I thought it was kind of silly and pointless... I think I have never been the target group, I am much more into strategy and adventure games.
In any case, the 2016 game was only 3 Euro in the sale, so might as well try. But at a guess, having gotten all the expansion Metal music tracks for Metal-Hellsinger will be much more attractive to me than playing Doom....
EDIT- It has songs from Archenemy. Win.

Oh - we still have our Dungeons & Dragons PC games, somewhere in my Batcave. "The Curse Of The Azure Bonds" was great .

Great selection of games curious how they run on the steam deck as I’m curious how the control schemes work with the steam deck in comparison to a mouse and keyboard or controller Still have to work out where to get a steam deck as the gaming shops here don’t have them listed

But I checked the Steam Discussions, and these games seem to work great for people on the Deck. I have never in my life owned a console, do not know my way around any controller beside keyboard and mouse and I have two left thumbs. Will it work for me? I will find out. Discovering a new world so to speak. Old fart trying to learn new tricks on modern toys.
Oh, I forgot, I also got the game "Subnautica" which I had on my wishlist for years and it also appears to run on the deck.
I will report back with how this little project is working out, if only for everybody's amusement on here.

I’ve got a few games on the go at the moment.
My trusty 3DS is currently busy with Super Mario 64 DS. It’s a game I can just chip away at as and when without much thought, though it’s basic graphics do take some adjusting to. As you’d expect for a nearly 20 year old game (!).
Over on Steam I’m most of the way through Yes, Your Grace. A choice based pixel art game. It’s quite charming and the decisions do carry weight.
And today I coaxed my flatmate’s weary old Wii to life to start Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. A completely different playstyle to my previous ventures in the series, but I’m warming up to it and like the story so far.

Right, the Steam Deck arrived. I am a bit out of my depth, no idea what I am doing there, plugged it in and now it is doing a lot of installing and setting up. Apparently it has a PC mode and Firefox installed. I will have to find out..... But first step is done, I found the "power on" button.

Oh, and I just realized that I once also bought the game featuring Willem Dafoe (who I adore) "Beyond- Two Souls". Back then, I could not run it. But it supposedly runs fine on the deck. Sorry, move aside, Doom, this will have to be installed first! Oh, oh, I see a lot of games reviews ahead for this thread when I successively will play though all these....
EDIT- I just fired up the Ninja Turtle game first and it is FUN. All the reviews were right, this is just pure awesome.

Alien Isolation is batsh.t terrifying you think you outsmarted the Alien hiding think again, this game made me jump lots of times. Highly recommend Dead Space Remastered one of my all time favourite horror games.

I actually have both of these games in my library, sadly, I have so far not dared going into them. They appear to be pretty hardcore freaky!

First update on my first baby steps with the Steam Deck! I played around with it for way too long last night. I learned a valuable lesson- I have to learn how to use the game-pad / controller first. I am virtually UNABLE to play games like Guacamelee and even Shootas, Blood and Teef. They run fine, that is not the problem. BUT:
How do people do it? Other people must have at least twice as many fingers as I have, to press all these different buttons all at once to perform timed jumps and doing attacks while jumping and running.
I was pretty frustrated. I had watched my little nephew playing on his handheld Playstation, and he made it look so easy. But I have NEVER in my life used a game-pad and I am completely out of my depth. Luckily, Ninja Turtles- Shredders Revenge is more forgiving and I have found it is really FUN and it is ideal for me to actually LEARN how to use this game-pad. It left me happy and I felt like I was making progress, while I sadly gave up on Guacamelee and Shootas for now and de-installed them.
Maybe I have to live with the fact that I might be too old for some of these games!!!!
While I gave up on the Metroidvania games for now, I actually installed the Strategy Game "Songs of Conquest". This is a wonderfully made, colorful fantasy strategy game and it also runs very well on the deck. This made me happy. It is just a great game, and while it is still in Early Access, the developers actively work on it and it already has tons of content.
All my high GB shooter, adventure and horror games are still downloading as of now (Internet appeared to have been down over night!), so I will find out tonight how well I do with Ego- Shooters on a game-pad.
Wish me luck.

Well, Ego-Shooters test yesterday, this has the same message as previously- I need to learn my way around a game pad and acquire some muscle memory. It is like learning to ride a bike in my old age. I just have to remind myself that it will get better and not give up being frustrated. On another note- I discovered a SUPER beautiful Samurai fighting game- SCLASH.
2-D plug and play. For short gaming sessions.
Easy and fast to learn, hard to master. OMG, it is beautiful with all the hand-drawn backgrounds and animated Samurai. All watercolor and Japanese art.
It is also fun to play and since it only uses a limited number of buttons on the game pad, it is also easy for me to use.
I immediately fell in love with it.
