Just two levels left on Dread Templar, so I'll probably get it done tomorrow. Thankfully nothing has been quite as difficult since the boss of the second episode and the last few stages of the third episode.

Dear Diary,
Today I parried a chainsaw with a combat knife, and it was FUCKING AMAZING.
Love,
Uly xx

Icewind Dale:
I can see why I forgot that Temple of the Forgotten God exists. Technically it's three levels, but two of them are very straightforward and the third is tiny and only there for the story. Probably the weakest bigger area of the game. Dragon's Eye on the other hand has already taken more than two hours and I'm not even done with the second level. Lizardmen, Trolls and Spiders everywhere. Thankfully only one Sword Spider so far. Mostly it's just Wraith Spiders that aren't too dangerous and give nice experience.

Streets of Rage 4 Still an amazing game. A series update done right. The soundtrack is incredible; there's a moment during the elevator section in the tower stage where the music kicks in and it proper gives me the feels There's a decent amount of stuff to do with Survival Mode and everything as well Coming up to the end of Monster Boy I think but stuck on a puzzle. Bugger. The puzzle where you have to turn on ghost translation in the options menu is cute |

Remember Me
I'm really enjoying this.
I was expecting it to be more of an open world game, but it's very linear.
Tomb Raider / PoP style platforming but there's only one route and it's very clearly highlighted - it's not remotely challenging, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. They've made some very cool sci-fi Paris environments, and it's a fun way to move around them.
Then arena combat sections. I'd heard negative things about the combat in this, but I really like it. It took a while to gel though.
I'm not really a 3rd person combat connoisseur (though I do seem to have played a bunch of them this year) and I haven't played most of the big names like DmC etc.. so I may not know what I'm talking about, but the combat in this feels different from most other ones I've played where I generally just mash buttons.
You're balancing a whole bunch of different things (damage, healing, special-move-cooldowns, enemy vulnerabilities, dodging, shooting enemies off walls, shooting light switches, etc..) and it's more about picking the right combos to prioritize what you need at that moment than about just mashing enemies.
But mainly I'm a sucker for interesting sci-fi worlds, and this one is great. Not sure on the overall story yet, but I love the main character (despite her being a sassy Brit in a game set in Paris) and the individual moments are great.

Started Evil West only an hour in, seems linear and fun. Reminds me of Godhand for some reason.
Can't put my finger on it (no pun intended)

DeadSpace Remake
I can't believe I haven't touched it since November 2023. I was thinking it had been 6 months but no.
I'm nearing the end of chapter 3 I think just had to re learn the buttons and figure out what I was doing.

I played a total of 17 minutes of Batora: Lost Haven before uninstalling it.

Why?
Looking it up, I've seen it on sale a few times, but I keep mixing it up with some other game with a similar name and cover image. This one looks like a diablo-like, whereas the other one is a side scrolling JRPG type thing.
This looks better than the JRPG at least..
