I finally finished Avowed! I really had fun playing it, and given that the map looks like it has more areas, I hope there's an expansion soon.

Also played through Atomfall as well, though it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I didn't have as much fun playing it as I did Avowed, but there were some nice, spooky sections that I enjoyed.

Currently achievement hunting Kona before it gets removed from GamePass. The one for not using any vehicles is such a pain, lol.

I've been working on Avowed and have been really enjoying it so far. My only real complaint is the weapons. Aside from some of the unique aspects, they all feel kind of same-y to me as far as damage goes.

I liked the investigating the first game, so I'm glad to see that they're keeping that aspect, even if it is as an optional part of the story. I hope the open world is similar to the first as well.

Same! I'm not usually into Soulslike games, but I really like this one.

Still going through Arthur's chapter in We Happy Few for achievements.

I don't play as much anymore, but I have roughly 1200 hours in Diablo 3.

In Steam, my top most hours played are: Sims 3: 945 Mad Max: 609 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: 230

Xbox doesn't tell me the time played for all of my games, but I know for sure I have a stupid amount of hours invested in Dead Space 2 and LA Noire. It does say I have about 650 hours in Resident Evil Revelations 2, but that's because I really enjoy Raid Mode.

Finished the Night Springs and the Lake House expansions, as well as Alan Wake 2 itself. I actually really liked The Lake House, and imo it was scarier than the main game. It got me really excited for Control 2.

Got through a few levels in Doom II.

Decided to have another go through We Happy Few, at least Arthur's chapter, as kind of a palate cleanser after spending so much time on Remedy games. I'm working on a few achievements, so it might end up being a longer playthrough than last time.

I started Alan Wake 2, and man, I forgot how terrifying and fun it is. I'm having a blast. And since the last time I played, they added photo mode! I'm particularly proud of . But idk if it's just me, but after having fairly recently played the first Alan Wake, this game feels like there's a lot less enemies? Especially when walking through the woods. Like a couple will pop up here and there, but a lot of the walking from one place to another is just... walking. Maybe I should have bumped the difficulty up to Hard lol. I've also already gotten through two of the Night Springs episodes, since they added them in game, which I thought was pretty cool. I'm really excited to get to the Lake House expansion.

Found all the collectables and filled out the ability tree in Control! I'm a little sad to put this game away, but there's not much more I can do in it. I could try maxing out the weapon mods, but there really is no reason to do so, so I'm moving on.

I was holding off on restarting Alan Wake 2 until after the Thanksgiving holiday, so I've been back at it again with Subnautica. I've got three bases so far, and now I'm working on building out a bunch of ion batteries and power cells for my equipment and Cyclops sub. I really wish you could get the ion stuff earlier in the game, since it's fairly close to the end, but I'm going to see what more I can do before finishing this out.

I finished the main game for Control, and the DLCs and the side quests, and got all the outfits, but I'm still not ready to put it away, so now I'm just working on finding all the collectables and filling out the ability tree.

Popped in to Diablo 3: Season 33 for a little bit. Chose the Crusader this round, but I'm not feeling super motivated to get through the season quickly.

Finally got through the final boss in Quantum Break. I really wish there was a sequel. Beth deserves the best.

I'm not sure how canon Alan Wake's American Nightmare is for the overall Remedy Universe (the game itself says it's kind of a alt reality, like a dream within a dream), but, like with Quantum Break, there are references to it in Alan Wake 2, so here we are lol. Besides, it's a fun, short game, so why not. I was a little sad I couldn't re-pick up documents (as I've played this a couple times before), but going back through them there is a surprisingly large amount of lore that's dropped if you do consider this canon. Overall, I'm glad I played it.

Currently working through Control, and I've made a surprisingly large amount of progress story wise. It might be a bad idea that I am doing a replay, since I'll want to collect every single little thing again, and that might take a while, but I love this game, so I won't complain too much. Also, I absolutely forgot that they straight up mention Mr. Door. When I first played this game, it was before I played Quantum Break, so when "Mr. Door" popped up I was very confused, and by the time I got to Quantum Break I had forgotten the comment, I didn't make the Door/Hatch connection. So it was a cool light bulb moment that makes me glad I'm going through the Remedy games again.

I recently went on an RV roadtrip with my cat. It is amazing all the nooks and crannies that they can get find and get into. I am so glad I invested in one of those Tile trackers to put on her collar. Luckily she got used to travelling after a couple days!
