...you roll a 1 on your Wisdom save...

You cannot resist!
Now Baldur’s Gate 3 is in your basket
Now it’s downloaded
Now you’re playing
Now you can’t stop playing

You tried to long rest, but you failed as you are too enthralled, and you feel an absolute need to continue.

10/10, failed my saving throw against addiction...

Really hoping that the UI in the demo is just a placeholder... it is just as bad as the new CIV game...

The DEMO was quite okay, for a demo, but whoever decided to place 1h time limit should be hanged! As many have already pointed out, a better limitation would have been population/tech/progression, rather than time.

Mafia: The Old Country is not a bloated game like Mafia III was, Old Country goes back to its roots and most of the game takes place along a linear path similar to Mafia II. It has just slightly shorter runtime than Mafia II, however, Old Country does not require you to drive between every mission.

The game might start off a little slow for some, but I actually enjoyed that. It really sold the feeling of being a small-time nobody clawing their way up. That deliberate pacing also gives the story more weight and makes the payoff feel earned.

Performance-wise, it runs really well, I didn’t encounter any bugs or performance issues. The atmosphere is fantastic, with well crafted environments that really make you feel as if you are in Sicily.

While it does have room for improvement, it’s still a very good Mafia game that is worth playing.

Just like in the old days

Back to the trenches Helldiver! Managed Democracy is not going to spread itself.

Overwatch 2: The Sequel We Didn't Know We Didn't Want

Ah, Overwatch 2, the game that proves that lightning rarely strikes twice, and when it does, it's just a flicker. As a dedicated player of the original Overwatch, I eagerly jumped into the sequel, only to find myself plummeting headfirst into a pit of disappointment and confusion.

First things first, the new heroes. Apparently, the brilliant minds at Blizzard decided that the best way to innovate was by recycling old ideas and giving them a fresh coat of paint. So here we are, facing off against "New Character A," who is eerily reminiscent of "Old Character B," but with a snazzy hat. It's like going to a costume party where everyone's dressed as slightly different versions of the same character. Bravo, Blizzard, for redefining creativity.

And let's not forget the maps. Now, I know Blizzard loves their scenic vistas and crumbling ruins, but did they have to recycle them from the first game? I half-expected to stumble upon a sign that said, "Welcome to Deja Vu-ville: Now with more déjà and even more vu!" Exploring the same locales with a fresh coat of paint felt less like a thrilling adventure and more like a virtual tour of a video game history museum.

In the end, Overwatch 2 feels like the awkward second season of a TV show that peaked in its first season. It's like the developers took a dartboard with random ideas, threw darts blindfolded, and somehow managed to hit all the wrong targets. But hey, at least I got a good laugh out of it – not from the game, mind you, but from the sheer audacity of it all. If you're looking for a sequel that defies expectations by setting them on fire and then dancing around the flames, Overwatch 2 is your game.

GTO - Great Trucker Onizuka!

Love this game

Great game

As this is the first game by Valve I managed to finish to the very end... here are my impressions.

Not the best game I have played, but was fairly good... maybe if it was not First Person Shooter I would have enjoyed it more...

What I didn't like about it...
1. The guns had a phony feeling about it... - this is a core mechanic for fps so it must be good
2. The way the story was delivered - perhaps if the character could talk the story could've had more impact on me... even the that robot named DOG was more interactive than me... AM I A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TOASTER!?
3. The physics... - I spend most of my time trying not to break the physics and the rest was spent stuck in table or not being able to run over a wooden plank...
4. The atmosphere - to me it felt like the game didn't know what it wanted to be or where it wants to be
5. The vehicle levels - why are they here in first place... stupid fillers they just overstayed their welcome...
6. The difficulty - even though I played the whole game on hard it wasn't challenging... it was more challenging not to get stuck in table than to finish the game. I mean, c'mon it is a "cross universe/dimensional empire" vs a "tiny toaster man" it has to be harder than this

What I did like about it...
1. Ravenholm - best part of the game if you ask me.
2. The combine - they seem like good antagonistic force.
3. The hidden ammo and medkits - sadly there was not that much need of them, because there were more medkits and ammo scattered everywhere than I can use. There were even people who were giving me medkits...
4. Did I mention Ravenholm?
5. DOG - My favorite character so far from the half life series ( And father grigori being my second favorite ) oh how I would love to see father grigori riding DOG into battle...
6. The bug commanding part - even though it got frustrating not long after I recivied that ability... it was still cool
7. Being able to carry all the weapons with me - something I really love

Maybe if they put some cutscenes or make the character talk I could fall in love with the story more... put more weight to the weapons... remove or shorten the vehicle levels by 80%... and create better atmosphere with more smooth change between the levels... and do something about the difficulty levels... I would've liked it more

But I really did expected more shooting from a First Person Shooter game
