If you like the first game you I can't imagine you wouldn't like this one. There are items equivalent to the healing spring bottles but easier to manage. (You can even teach your pawns to combine the items as you collect them and do it for you.) There are campsites everywhere that return you to ...
If you like open world, look at Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) or Death Stranding (PS4). For action in a semi open world, I'd recommend Bloodborne (PS4). ...

Never heard of that other game but I've been looking forward to Dragon's Dogma 2 for years. ...

I found that sometimes when I had to reread a line because it was kind of convoluted and used unusual words or because I hadn't been giving it my full focus, the phrasing was actually very clever once I got it. But having to pay close attention to the words and sometimes reread lines requires wor...

I only saw this in black and white. I guess I'll have to watch the color version and see which one I like better. ...

Mother is one of my favorite movies. I watched it twice in the theater. I like pretty much all of Aronofsky's stuff. I often hear him called pretentious but at least he tries to do something original and thoughtful even if he doesn't always reach the heights he aims for. Mother in particular...

Dune Imperium is a good game. I've played it a few times. It's a nice combination of deckbuilding and worker placement. ...

When I started playing SnowRunner, one of my first thoughts was that it feels a lot like Death Stranding but less forgiving. It's great. ...

I really liked it, overall. The idea that what if a paranoid person is right about every paranoia (and then some) makes for some funny scenes. I could have done without the attic part, as it kind of crossed the line from weird into dumb. But even there I guess I appreciate the attempt. I'd l...

[quote]and then it was game over.[/quote] If I remember correctly, the only way to actually get a game over like this is if you get pulled under too close to a building so the game can't create the crater. Normally, you'd just find yourself in the underwater area. You can tell you're in this...

Never seen Walking Dead and have no interest in it but this game is one of my favorites. You have to be okay with making deliveries as the main mechanic, though. It's not an action game most of the time. Most big budget games have boring, generic stories but this one is unique. ...

Brass Birmingham isn't as complicated as it looks. The strategy is deep but the actions you have available are pretty simple. Hard to find a better strategy game. ...

Concordia is a good game. It's a little dry, but no more so than Castles of Burgundy. If you want something with strategy and also nice art/theme, there's Scythe. If you've never played a deckbuilder, you might try Dominion. That game has almost limitless variety if you get a couple of the d...

Yes, Catan is a good introduction to modern board games but it's really not a great game. After you've played it a few times you start to see its flaws. (It's way too luck-driven, and you can get stuck in an impossible situation where you can't win even if you play smart and you just have to wai...

Castles of Burgundy is a good one. Lately I've been playing Ark Nova, Great Western Trail, and Dune: Imperium, among other games....
I missed the color version but caught it in black and white. It was great and I'm glad I saw it in the theater rather than waiting to see it at home. It deserved a big screen. ...
Some years ago, I watched Superman 2 for the first time since I was a kid. I noticed that it was missing some of my favorite scenes, which didn't seem to make any sense because it was a DVD copy. Turns out that the version that we'd taped off TV in the 1980s is the theatrical version with various...
