RISE FROM THE ASHES SO THAT I MAY POST.

It’s rare that a trailer presentation will get me instantly interested in something, but Sandfall Interactive did it with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They are even releasing tracks from the score (on YouTube and Spotify) before release, as they give out information. And, um, I really like everything I’m seeing so far. But I’d rather the content speak for itself.

It’s a turn-based RPG inspired by a number of titles.

Reveal Trailer - Why you should care.
First Look Gameplay - 6m gameplay trailer with a couple (edited?) cutscenes
Cast Reveal Trailer - Was not expecting one of those names.

Silent Hill 2.1 doesn’t suck. Not great, but it doesn’t suck. It’s fine. It’s probably even better than okay. That’s more than I expected going in.

@dvoraen I’m really looking forward to this one.

I finished Final Fantasy XVI last night (without DLC) after waiting for the PC port to drop. I have feelings.

for @Babs because I am always and actively procrastinating on my librarian –

I have started playing Syberia.

@GF I think it is great, actually. Really only have 2 complaints: a couple of locations had about 1 too many explorable areas/wings to complete puzzles. Just a BIT too long. The other is that getting the icon to actually grab the interactables is finicky as fuck, and it can be real annoying.

I might have preferred the way some things were performed in the original - but only a couple. I got to see someone unfamiliar with the original play this for the first time, and everything landed. All in all, a really pleasant surprise.

@hellfrog To each her own!

Don’t forget we moved!
