Whatcha all been playing! I got the itch for outer wilds again, which I can't really play anymore (😭)

So I decided to start a game I've wanted to play for a while that I thought could scratch a similar itch: ghost trick phantom detective. It's really good!

I'm getting super close to finishing cyberpunk 2077. I said that last week when I was at like 80 or so hours. But uhh 100 hours in now and I swear I'm really close this time lol.

I really wish they hadn't released the game so early and hadn't released so much advertising hype about the game. If the game released in a functional state I think it would have had the complete opposite reception.

If they were to have released the game this January or something and only advertised what is actually in the game, people would likely be praising it left and right. I thought the writing and quest design was a breath of fresh air. I loved how the game gave you agency to make your own decisions and made you think about the implications of all of your actions. Even if many of the decisions didn't directly matter in the grand scheme of things, it allowed you to roleplay and at least feel like you were staying true to how your character would react in different situations.

I liked how there were so many twists and turns during the quests. Overall it felt like I was playing a completely different game compared to the couple hours I had tried at launch.

Edit: side note, Outer wilds is so good. Give it 5 years and maybe you'll forget some of it lol!

My first playthrough clocked in around 200 hours. Now, I still do almost everything but it's faster. Only 150 hours now... About to wrap up playthrough number 5. And I'll probably be coming back in a year for 6.

Can't get into outer wilds though. Feel like I'm 50-60% through the game and I have no idea when or how to go where I think I need to. Took a break to play CP2077 run #4 and look where that got me

Cyberpunk 2077 (Pyramid Song mission)

Exactly my thoughts after my actions left Judy leave Night city. Should not have killed Maiko. Made me wonder whether could I have saved Takamura too.
