Ohhhh....I loved a lot of Sierra games back in the game.  I'll have to check it out.

Last post on Chained Echoes. 100%ed (at least as it comes to story/side quests/superbosses).

Very solid love letter to 16 bit (and even PSX era) JRPGs. Is also able to do its own thing. Excellent battle system, a great deal of variety with party members and excellent customization potential. While I won't do a replay anytime soon, the numerous members, customization and pick-your-own-skills makes it so future replays can all be different.

That said, some mechanics are very rough around the edges, post game content is fairly meh, and while there are a good amount of playable characters, it's pretty easy to identify 6 that are the objective best members that won't spend a lot of time on the bench.

Still very much worth the 25 dollars. Playthrough took about 40 hours, and can see myself revisiting in the future.

AoE 2 DE is now available for purchase on Xbox (free if you own the PC version) 20$ if buying drops on 1/31

has mouse and keyboard support

Since i'm a roguelite/like fanatic i just discovered Slay the Spire and giving that about 12 hours of attention before i rapidly lose interest.

I saw an article just a little bit ago said it's early march for that event.  I bet we don't see Starfield until the end of summer.

Yeah i saw another Bethesda-MS Event is scheduled for March... So if thats not the Starfield show we should find out soon.

But Show Recap.

Mine Craft Legends  (  Release 4.18)
Redfall  (Release 5.2)
Forza  (Release 2023  probably June)
ESO -NECROM Releases 6.20 (Almost all Previous expansions are currently free to play except the most recent 2)
**Surprise game: Hi-Fi Rush -   Shadow dropped yesterday 1.25 from Tango Gameworks   (on gamepass/ 29.99)

There is another Forza show today.  So maybe they held the date for that. but seems they havent nailed it down yet.

I got invited to a Beta for a game so ill be checking that out this weekend.

And Buying AoE DE (delux edition with DLC) so i can start playing coop with my buddy. when it hits xbox on 1/31

**

Golden Eye 007 Drops tomorrow. Is included in Rare Replay if you have that (not sure if they give it to disc and digital or just digital) Rare Replay is included in gamepass (if you dont have RR) Havent seen if the game can be purchased by itself

Goldeneye for the switch is pretty much as expected. A pretty even mix of nostalgia factor and "holy shit this is dated".

Don't check this section very often, but let me add a late endorsement. I played it when I saw it on Gamepass and it's a great modern adaptation to SNES RPGs.

It got perhaps a little too anime than I prefer after the first couple chapters, but still a very enjoyable game. Apparently it made by just 1 guy working alone.

This. I want to play eventually it because I loved Dead Space 1 and 2, but I already own Dead Space 1 and 2 and they both still hold up very well today (on PC at least). Can't really justify to myself paying $60 for it, but I will probably get it next Steam Winter Sale when it's like $35.
