I'm playing Fable 3 right now as part of a replay of the original trilogy before the new Fable comes out. After that I got some indie games to check out, along with Gears of War E-Day horde siege mode.

Outside of my "main" evening game time (which is when I play S2) I'm also dabbling in some older systems during the day when I have a break or a day off; just started SiN Reloaded on S1 and Battlefield 4 on 360.



I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII, hoping to finally finish it. I'm actually quite confident that I will. Other than that, it'll be the usual stuff, so mostly Cities: Skylines 2 and possibly some other long-time favourites, like Left 4 Dead 2, Farthest Frontier, trying to finish Final Fantasy XII on PC, and maybe working on Cyberpunk 2077 and Half-Life: Alyx as well.

I'm also planning to have a few snacks, like Homefront and Bright Memory, and maybe some others. I was actually going to start Homefront this week but never had the time - let's see if the weekend brings enough opportunities for it.

I actually just got down with Homefront. It's not terrible, but I accidentally chose the regular rather than easy difficulty and there were a lot of times where I got killed cos some distant enemy I could barely see at the low 576p resolution mowed me down in microseconds.

Bright Memory I did enjoy for what it was; it's impressive that it was largely made by just one guy.

Ooh, someone that has actually played not just one of my intended snacks but actually both of them! I don't think I'll be having the 576p issue due to playing on PC, but that does sound quite nasty. I think I have my expectations set appropriately for Bright Memory - definitely looking forward to it.

Yeah if you're easily annoyed I'd recommend playing Homefront on easy, as on higher difficulties the enemies are good shots at a distance, it doesn't take many hits to kill you, and they throw a LOT of grenades right at your feet. You may find it easier than me though as like I say I was playing on 360 where the muddy graphics made visibility a bit poor, plus I was playing on gamepad at 30fps.

Bright Memory was a cool little snack, it looks beautiful and plays smoothly, it's just very short, which I personally didn't mind, but a lot of people did criticise its length.

Hope you enjoy both.

I think I will enjoy both, thanks! I actually picked those two for playing in the very near future precisely because they're so short: as you can see, I have some fairly lengthy stuff on my plate at the moment, and I like to play something shorter between longer projects so I don't get fatigued of the lengthy games.

Yeah I'm like that too, even if a game is really good, if it goes on for ages I can get tired of it and need a palate cleanser.



Gears of war e day at the moment. Not sure what will come after.
