I had loaded a bunch of games on Steam Deck to play and I ended up only playing Dave the Diver. Very fleshed out and humorous game.

Multiple Times I have talked about how I enjoy the Assassains Creed series of Games. I have played a fair number of them, but skipped Valhalla and Origins.

I just finished Mirage, and it's fantastic. It has the best soundtrack and audio of any game I can recall, and despite being a smaller map, was plenty big enough, full of things to do. The storyline was good to follow (I am much less interested in plots in games than the gameplay that goes with it).

I highly recommend it, and I wasn't aware that Valhalla was linked to Mirage. Valhalla had luke warm reviews and a premise that didn't interest me, Origins has regional interest to me, but Odessey was available to me first, and was one of the best games in the series, and once I played that, I didn't want to go backwards' esp in game play.

I'd give Mirage a 8.5/10 and it had some great plot twists.

Yeah I'm about 2/3 through Mirage too. Went back and restarted after I played about ten hours on PS5 when it came out, before being distracted by another game. Always the way. Got it again on Ubisoft+ for PC and have hardly closed the game since. It's great. Also very highly optimised. I get around 100fps with maximum 4k graphics settings.

Can also recommend it in Quest 3 using Virtual Desktop game streaming. Big screen assassinations and leaps of faith are amazing.

I put down Dave the Diver for a while and went back to playing baldurs gate 3. Im away at the moment and had doubts about it on Steam Deck but it not running badly off the sd card. Running my single player save in offline mode until I get back home to play with mates.

Still on Grounded with some mates.... recent update added more stuff. One of my mates spends way too much time in it and has built some massive bases :D

I have been playing AC:Origins after Mirage. On the whole I am enjoying it, though some of the mechanics missing compared to it's successor Odyssey, are annoying and make getting around a bit slower. That's an issue considering how MASSIVE Origins is.

I am enjoying it though, quite a lot.

Been spending all my time in Grounded still. Full team of 4 of us playing now, fighting our way through the story. Having a ball with it when someone does something stupid :D

The physics are quite good, and the building mechanics is fun, got some large bases scattered around the map, all getting connected with zip lines :D

My wife (of all people) and I have been living in Quest 3 for gaming lately. She played and loved The Room VR, the first game shes enjoyed since we played It Takes Two, and before that Kings Quest IV - The Perils of Rosella....yip. Now she's playing the I Expect You to Die series and we've spent a few hours in Myst VR. I've been playing Half-Life Alyx via SteamVR and it's fantastic on the Q3. So much fidelity! Also playing around with flatscreen mods like the new UEVR that allows you to inject VR controls and perspective into pretty much any Unreal game. Minigolf also lots of fun. I still think the Quest 3 is one of the most versatile devices this decade to date.

Ignoring passthrough how do you feel it compares to Quest 2 if you have it?

Jagged Alliance 3. I don't like the feeling of time pressure/forced progression via scripted automation in games (i love it at work, go figure..). I prefer to control pacing/progression myself in my down time. I love everything else about this game. The automation in JA3 can be stalled/delayed with a bit of care which is good enough for me to still love it. I'm really worried that if i keep going, im going to have to consider playing all those 4x type games ive managed to keep off my play list.

Spellforce: Conquest of Eo. I've just decided to stop playing this because i was unable to stop or delay the forced progression enough to really enjoy it. I love everything else about the game. I love the spellforce series and still spend many hours with the editing toolset for Reforced.

God of War. I've wanted to play this since it came out and am finally getting into it and loving it. The combat styling and timing sometimes reminds me of Kingdoms of Amalur. I love the sense of anticipation before reaching into realm tears.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Playing this with my nieces. Love it, will replay. Crash Bandicoot with FromSoft consulting.

Elden Ring. FromSoft always want me to be better than i am. I'm up for that, it just takes a while. Got through Radahn okay after a few tries, currently being smooshed by Fire Giant. Looking at forums/youtube, i might be done with Malenia in a year or two.

Major improvements in all areas except perhaps not comfort, but that's manageable with different straps. I got the BoboVR M3 upgrade kit for my M2, and still have the stock strap, though find we are using the Bobo most often now.

Also, the passthrough, while not yet perfect, is good enough to enjoy MR in a big way. The real world doesn't have to look perfect yet, it's the fact you can peripherally see the world in colour around the content you're looking at that is great. It'll only get better.

I enjoyed it too.

If I had to find something I do not like about the AC games it would be the annoying Animus nonsense that keeps interrupting the flow of the game for no actually useful reason.

Just get rid of it and stick to the actual Assassin bit!

Just finished Robocop. Pretty fun adaptation actually.

I also read that there is a reboot series of Robocop in the works at Prime Video so hope that comes out.
