I loved the world that they built and the concept and behind the story, and playing the crime reconstruction parts. The story itself I found a little hard to follow some of the details, but got the gist of it. I enjoyed the game. The only real frustration for me was that a lot of the first person animations for your character were overly long, so any sections where your character was doing a lot of actions could feel rather slow.

I looked it up, The Ascent came out longer ago than I realised. It released on game pass July 2021 and left in July 2023. I played a few hours and liked it but had too much going on at the time, I ended up getting it really cheaply on Steam last year.

In my first few months of using gamepass on PC I had games that I had installed functionally "disappear" from my machine. You could be playing perfectly fine one day, then the following day try to launch it and nothing would happen. If you tried to update or re-install from the app or windows store it would tell you the game was already installed, but if you tried to uninstall, windows would tell you it isn't there. It seems better these days, but also I only re-up game pass for a month or so at a time when I really want to play something.

I started this last night, the opening sequences are absolutely gorgeous. I only got as far as reconstructing the first crime scene until it makes you leave, I found it a bit confusing at first, but I think that's more I was missing the points had to interact with to move to the next one. I was starting to get the hang of it by the end.

Similarly, Steam recommending these to me the other month because I played the Castle Of Illusion remake.

Given how little care has been taken with the Robocop property over the years in film & tv etc. I was surprised how good this was.

I played some of the tutorial for Pizza Tower, but was a bit overwhelmed by the number of things it's trying to teach you at once. I meant to go back to it another time when I could take it all in, but that hasn't happened yet.

I didn't stick around to do every sidequest or catch one of every kind of fish, but I had a good time with the game. Sailing the little boat, getting upgrades catching the weird and wonderful array of fish was enjoyable.

A 7/10 game all day long. It was free and did a job of occupying me for a couple of evenings while I think about what games I want to play after completing Yakuza.

A great end to the Kiryu saga. As ever, a great silly melodramatic story delivered with a straight face. The gameplay felt that maybe a little too much in the way of streamlining had smoothed off some of the weird edges, but some of the sidequests & minigames that remained were great.

Yeah, the demo was a bit slow to get going but when it did stop interrupting, I enjoyed it. Enough to give it a try for free. I agree, it does feel like a sort of game you don't get much anymore.

An arcade style Formula 1 racing game, with gorgeous Virtua Racing graphical style. The single-player mode has you racing in various eras of F1 style cars from 1980's to 2020's on circuits that do a fantastic job of capturing the feel of several real-word circuits without being actual recreations of them. It looks and sounds great and is a lot of fun to play (although the other driver ai isn't the greatest), and an absolute bargain for £10 on Steam.

I'm obsessed with this guy's channel right now. He livestreams himself walking around in NYC and making beats on the fly, and getting getting people on the street to rap or sing to them.
