Monster Train 2

A fun strategic deck building game, Just like the first game. Different mechanics, different challenges. There is some kind of story.

The first Monster Train made me realize what people like about Magic the Gathering (the strategy and deck management) and does not have any of the downsides of Magic the Gathering (the lootbox money sink).

The story is nothing spectacular but has at least one good reveal.

On Monster Train I have 1.100 hours logged, so here's to another 1k hours .

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Last Saturday, I played through Senua's Sacrifice, a game first released 2017 to critical acclaim.

The game was rather disappointing - the story is good, but the gameplay is a mix between a walking simulator, cutscenes telling a story, some small puzzles and boring melee fights against the same set of five enemies.

Luckily, the game was also quite short, because I don't think I would have spent a second evening with that game.

If you want to play, I recommend getting it on discount and playing it on easiest difficulty. The story is OKish and might entertain you for an afternoon or evening.
