Hey everyone,

My bad for forgetting to post a thread last week. Since then I’ve been continuing to work on Ragnarok and I’ve started Super Mario Wonder with my wife, and a bit with my daughter. I haven’t played too much of Wonder but it really is fantastic so far.

BG3 and Spider-man 2 are next in line and currently on the back burner. I really don’t want to have to juggle 4 games at once but I might have to play some Spider-man 2 soon.

Also in the last week I beat Cocoon. All I can say is…play it. It’s beautiful, the puzzles are great and ramp in difficulty nicely. I know Playdead didn’t make this one, but the comparisons to Limbo and Inside I think are still valid. If you liked those games I would definitely give it a try. I think it’s better than Limbo, and on par with Inside. Idk if I can say it’s better than Inside, but it’s definitely not worse. It’s right there with it I think. I can see how some might like Inside more though. I don’t want to say too much but as far as character, level, and art design, multiple times while playing I remember asking myself, “How did this come out of someone’s mind?” It’s so very alien in all the right ways. Give it a go. I beat it in about 3-4 hours and I’m still thinking about the ending and the whole experience and what it all means.

Anyway, what’re you all up to this week?

      Play the first alan wake for sure. If you want the whole experience then also Play Control, if you want the godlike experience go and find a copy of Max Payne and Play that too

        I’ve played all the Max Paynes (super stoked for the remake also). I have Alan Wake Remastered from PS+ and I also haven’t started Control yet but I have that too.

        Should I play AW before Control?

              You can play Control without playing Alan Wake, but the DLC might make more sense if you have played Alan Wake before.

              I played it without playing AW, and still enjoyed it, though playing that made me interesting in Alan Wake, before that I wasn’t interested in playing it, as I am not a big fan of survivor horror games.

                me neither but with AW2 getting all this good press, I think I might have to plat AW Remastered before control, then alan wake 2.

                But that’s all after Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, and Sea of Stars. Did I also mention I picked up Returnal recently? ugh, too much fun to be had
