Honestly I'm between games, not sure what to give my full attention to.
Tried a little of Clover Pit which is pretty fun.
I've also tried the Star Trek game which kinda like a Telltale one. Resurgence I think? It's fun.
But nothing really hooked me so far. It's a me problem, not the games though.
I'll keep trying and see what happens.

I just feel like fanboy doesn't comprise the same. Maybe that's just me though.

A fanboy can be passionate about something without being rude or downright hostile towards other people.

My use of that word was to separate it from that people.

But as I said, maybe that's just me. I feel like it's more insulting to the fanboys to call those other people the same.

And hey, no problem, man. It's an interesting discussion. But maybe not the place, don't wanna see comments start getting deleted.

It's my favorite out of all the Sherlock Holmes games I've played so far, but I've read it's divisive.

Pros: the cases are pretty good, it's not too long, and it really showcases Sherlock's abilties.

Cons: There's a few puzzles that are really frustrating. I had to watch a video for two of them, but ymmv, maybe I'm just dumber than I want to admit. 😂

It also has a few quick-time events. I feel like they add to the tension, but I know some people hate that stuff.

For me it was still really enjoyable even with those few puzzles that are frustrating. It's the second time I've finished it, and I enjoyed it both.

Been jumping around different games not knowing what to play after finishing Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.

Now I'm playing Heidelberg 1693 which a classic side-scroller style ala Classicvania. Incredibly difficult but very addictive.
As someone who finished the NES Ninja Gaiden games, I'd say is up there. Died like 150 times total (game keeps count) in like a dozen stages.
Not sure what else I'll be playing.

Re: Xbox Has More Competition From TikTok Than PlayStation, Claims Microsoft Exec

It makes some sense. I don't think I ever used it, but every damn time I talk with someone (younger or not) they do use it and waste hours and hours of just watching reels or whatever they're called. There's also an alarming number of people that just watches games on Twitch instead of just playing them. Market and society is not what it was on the NES days nor on the 360 days.
The F2P stuff like Fortnite and Hoyoverse games should be proof enough of that. And there's a lot of mobile gaming too even if a lot of people don't think of it as competition.
