Covid decided to come back to me for round two
It all very reminiscent of Half-Life 2 – you even have a permanently-equipped gravity gun gadget for your left hand, letting you hurl cabinets at zombified androids while gunning down cops in a dystopian police state FC 24 Coins. Irsquo;ve found myself partial to its SPAS-12 equivalent, sending baddies flying down corridors in one pump while guarding myself with a well-positioned box, suspended in the air as I run about.

Wersquo;re about to hit monsoon season for games, when triple-A titles fall from the sky and splat down hard on the meagre leaves we use for shelter. Ahead of that, I want to get some games scratched off my list, so Irsquo;m diving into Return to Monkey Island. I donrsquo;t like the art style and the humour is as grating as it is amusing, but hopefully it picks up a little the more it goes on.

Covid decided to come back to me for round two, so Ive had plenty of time to play this week. Unfortunately, my hands cramped up after five minutes with Cyberpunk 2077, so Im fairly limited on what I can do. Thankfully, Ive found that Outer Wilds is perfect for quarantining.
It slow paced enough not to give me muscle pain over my entire body, and chill enough to play while drowning in brain fog. And better yet, if I do muck up and die, it no big deal. I think there a reason timeloop games took over the industry while we were ill – we dont want to be facing any in-game consequences while we have coughing fits to contend with.

Irsquo;m hosting my daughter first birthday party this weekend, so games arenrsquo;t exactly top of my agenda. That said, Irsquo;ll likely spend my evenings playing narrative RPG Roadwarden, which is really hitting that fantasy spot for me at the moment. It like sitting down with a good book, except the book has no hero and you feel guilty about every conversation you have cheap EAFC 24 Coins. Still, it beautifully written and tempting me into starting another playthrough of Disco Elysium.
