^ I'll keep it in mind, Dragon Ball Spatking Zero is the number one fighting game I wanna try atm but I do really wanna try a good old school 2d fighter. It might be that one. Cheers.

We finally beat Act 1 in Path of Exile 2. It took us at least 20 tries and leveling up to 20 before we could last until the end of the fight. He didn't even drop anything we could use bleh, but glad we don't have to roam the manor anymore with the deadly blood pools.

It's chaotic with 2 players on the screen, I can't imagine how you keep track of anything in a 6 player party lol. But I guess at least then it should be easier (possible) to revive people in combat as with 2 players there's about a 5% chance you can get lucky enough to finish reviving between attacks.

The next area was very easy, including the bosses, I guess we out leveled that already to beat Act 1 :/ On to the caravan to the East. I hope the Act 2 boss will not require so much grinding! We've spend 18 hours on the game already for Act 1.

I got bad news for you... :P Act II boss is considered the hardest of the three main bosses.

I started a Sorceress with Spark build, but it's not really any fun in the beginning. I'm only level 18 or so on her, and hoping the build will pick up soon. I rolled a Witch today, went for a summoner/elementalist build, using skeletons and Rage Spirits, Firewall serves as the summoning pool for Spirits, and also supercharges the attacks of my skeletons. It's insane for clearing, and bosses die very quickly. I have died a few times though, almost always when my summons die during a boss fight and I'm left all squishy and without any DPS to speak of.

My Monk is level 66 now, nearing the end of Act III on Cruel; so far it's been very easy, even with shit gear. Frost builds with Charged Staff and Bell shenanigans are great fun, and insane on damage. With the monk, I've killed all Act main bosses on the first try, both on Normal and on Cruel - the damage blitz is just too much and some die within 5-10 seconds.

I'm going to try a Ranger as well, but not this week. Probably a simple Lightning build to begin with. I deleted my Warrior, he was more or less bricked and had poor gear and way too poor damage (my Monk out-damaged him at half the level at one point).

I'm playing a Monk and yeah frost plus tempest bell seems to be the natural choice. We just got to lvl 21 or 22 today riding the Caravan. The act 1 boss wasn't easy, instant death for some of his attacks and kinda hard to see what to avoid with 2 people and lots of chaos on screen.

My wife plays the warrior and she has some nice aoe stuff but in a straight fight the Monk easily out damages the warrior :/ She's a good tank though, keeps them off me while I ring the bell and freeze everything.

It's great you can upgrade gear, yet hard to figure out when to switch. The upgrade materials seem to be very scarce so we still have some level 5 items :/ However we haven't checked out the stores yet on the Caravan, tons of money, never take a moment to shop haha.

Anyway, we'll take our time with Act 2, sounds like we need to level for the boss again!



I picked up Riven on Steam’s Winter Sale earlier this week. I wasn’t even aware Myst ever received a sequel let alone the sequel getting a remake that apparently released this past summer lol. I barely remember Myst having much of a story, but Riven has a surprisingly deep story while still having all the key point and click puzzle solving that we all know and love. I loved the remake of Myst and thoroughly enjoying Riven for the first time ever. Apparently has VR support too. I can see that being greatly used here.

Yeah, Riven is considered to be the best Myst (out of 6 in total). I really need to replay it, I haven't in over 20 years, so I barely remember anything (which is great).

I find that type of games to be best played in "local co-op", so to speak, with someone else for the ride, both for fun, note taking and that old "two heads are better than one".

Wtf???? Bruh lol. I need to look into the rest of the series! Great time to pick it up as the remake is currently on sale for $25. For a UE5 game, it runs remarkably well, on top of looking fantastic! 

Yeah, ngl I did bring in my wife several times to help me with some of the puzzles lol. While a remake, and I’ve read the term “reimagining” the game still has the 90s sense of not holding your hand lol. Very little QoL in that sense.
