I hate it when I buy a game on deep discount with the intent to play it later and then it gets added to PS Plus a few months down the road before I get started on it.
This JUST happened to me with Little Nightmares on xbox Gold lol. It didn't sting too much, because only the basic game is available for free and I bought the "complete" edition (which is STILL incomplete)* at a deep discount. I decided to give it a spin and played the whole thing in just under 6 hours. It is a fairly short game with the main game clocking at 1.5 hours and the dlc another 1.5. Took me longer because I explored every nook and crany, some areas were trial and error and some puzzles took me a little longer than I'd like to admit. VERY satisfying game. Amazing and it did creep me out. I played it alone... at night.. minimal lighting and I was pretty creeped out. I really like playing suspense/horror games like that. Playing them during the day really kills the mood. Can't wait to get started on Alien: Isolation in a similar manner.
*Apparently more dlc has been released since, but seems to be purely cosmetic, aditional hoods/masks for Six.
Been clocking more hours on Road Redemption. My character is stronger now, and getting the hang of the driving/combat mechanic much better. Last month I got Stacked for free on Gold. It is a puzzle adventure game with Russian dolls (Barushkas?). You control a tiny doll and you can stack inside others to take control. You have to save your family and all the children from an evil baron. It's a slow burn, first few levels are pretty meh, but by the time you get to the end it's pretty cool. The ending sequence is hilarious, the animation is a rip off of Die Hard/Rambo with the hero jumping with an explosion in the background, but done in a silent movie style. I was laughing so hard the dog's neighbor started barking.
Also started playing American Mcgee's Alice and Alice Madness Returns. Man are they dated, but still fun. I set it down for a while, because they are very old school in the save/save point feature. I progress most of the level, die.... start from the beginning... fuck that.
Finally I downloaded Life is Strange 2 since it's free (the whole game is on sale for 10 bucks) to get a feel for it. A lot of things I liked, but those same things I was uncomfortable with. I like that you are not the one with the powers this time, I like that they are not time traveling powers, not a spoiler, it's in the trailer, they seem to be "force" powers and they belong to your little brother. I liked that it is an immigrant family from Mexico, though it seems it's just the dad, kids were born in the U.S. their last name, Diaz, reminded me of Cobra Kai's Miguel Diaz lol. I, however, did not care for the heavy handed politics about the wall, racism, police brutality, etc. I don't need my games to be that political. Props on being current though. Even though it's on sale I'm going to wait to purchase the fulll game. I have WAY too many games as it is and a ridiculous back catalogue. I thought I'd spend more time playing, but enjoyed doing NOTHING for a change during my vacation. I go back to work in a week or so, therefore my playing time once again will be limited. I think I'll focus on achievement sweeps of bioshock, bioshock 2, Lego Indy and finish those I've started like 20XX, Road Redemption, Alan Wake and Deadspace. If I'm going to start any new games it'll be those in my back catalogue like FEAR.
