Just finished Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Began Sunday evening, played a lot on Monday and finished this morning. Great atmosphere and sound to make it intense.

Waiting to build a new rig before I play KC again. I need to see it in all its glory.

Yeah, I only have the base game and not any of the DLC's, so I figure I probably will end up going back and playing it again at some point in the future after I eventually get a new rig and all the extras. Still, I'm loving going around cleaning up all the bandit and Cuman camps. I'm on to the third city for that now. With the main questline I'm where I need to scout the Cuman camp, but decided to pause and do all the side quests I could before I continue that. I've perfected pulling off a single enemy at a time on horseback, leading them out to a place where I can ride around and stab them with my longsword as I ride past. Can one-hit most of the peasant bandits that ambush me this way, too. Picked up the berserk skill so if I get knocked off my horse I just go after them swinging away and beating the crap out of them. haha Got the best horse I could that can carry as much as possible, and have the perks to haul as much as I can, so just going around killing and looting (bad guys). Only 'mistake' I've made was that I thought a poacher would be considered a criminal. Ended up getting tossed into jail a few days for murder. Whoops...

Back to playing the original Dishonored. I finished in PS3, bought it for Steam but didn't play it past the first couple of missions. I just looked and my last save game was 5 years ago. Where is all this time going? Anyway it's still a great game. I'll run through it and pick up Dishonored 2.

I knocked a few games off my list this weekend.
The Death of Erin Myers was a quick puzzle/ adventure game. The Norwood Suite was a quick mystery with fairly simple puzzles in a bizarre world with interesting characters and a great soundtrack. 15 Days is a bad adventure game. Transistor is a decent action story game that I am really bad at.

My wife got me the new tactical RPG game based on the Dark Crystal prequel series on Netflix. Still in the early tutorial levels but enjoying it so far.

Is there a common game that everyone is playing together or planning on purchasing in the future or is that still the elusive holy grail?

I am betting on Holy Grail...

Pretty much Holy Grail... Think we each have one or two we're hopeful for, though. *coughSCcough*

My comp won't run anything with high demands any more.
Finish Dark Crystal. Decent but not exciting. Picked up Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the locked down family which has been an EXCELLENT plan so far. Love playing it together.
Also just cruising through demos on Switch, hah.

Ooh! The Gwent card game from Witcher III is free for mobile. It runs great on my Samsung Galaxy S7! From what I've seen so far they've removed the third row, probably so they can display the cards bigger.

I have been a bit in the dumps lately and working a lot in spurts, so I have mainly been playing mindless idles.

Still playing Animal Crossing. Surprisingly, my daughter isn't that into it. She normally loves that kind of chill, non-confrontational sandbox game. My wife and I usually play 30 minutes before bed, though, and my son and I will play too.
Much bigger, though, I am now OBSESSED with Slay the Spire. Deck-building/drafting roguelike RPG. 4 different characters with different types of decks (basic bruiser, assassin, robot, and mystic). Each character starts with a basic deck - 4 attacks, 4 defends, and a couple cards unique to their character. As you climb the tower, you get to add cards to (and sometimes remove cards from) your deck, and each character has 3-4 different things they can focus on. For example, the assassin can focus on poisoning enemies to kill them over time, drawing tons of free but weak cards, or retaining cards from turn-to-turn instead of discarding them.
You climb a procedurally generated tower with different kinds of rooms - monsters, elite monsters, shops, campsites, and events. You also get one-time potions to use, and powerful relics that give you permanent bonuses, all randomized. There's three "acts" each with a major boss at the end, plus a secret "true" boss at the very end of the run if you collect a few hidden things in your normal adventuring.
Combat is fun. You start with three energy per turn, so you cast 3 1-energy cards, a 2-energy + a 1-energy card, or a single powerful 3-energy card. You draw 5 cards per turn and discard any unused cards at the end, usually. Fighting is VERY different for each character. The fighter bashes things hard. The assassin as I said can poison over time or dish out large numbers of weak attacks. The robot is really different, he has 3 orb slots (can be expanded) and different orb types - lightning for damage, frost for defense, plasma for more energy, and dark matter that slowly grows to unleash one big attack. But the orbs rotate as you play new ones, so you have to be careful about what order you play them in and which ones you leave in your slots or get rid of to make room for new ones (when you "evoke" or use up an orb, it does something much more powerful than what it does normally at the end of your turn sitting in your slots). And the mystic is completely different too, she goes into different stances that focus on offense, defense, or combos. So each character plays very different. Between that and the randomized nature of each run, every time is different, so replayability is through the roof. One run-through takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the character and playstyle.
And the best part? My son is just as obsessed so we'll sit on the couch together playing it for hours and working out the best strategies.
