Nioh 3
by Sairung: The third installment of my favorite video game series, Nioh, is coming next year! I played its demo this past June and it was awesome. It retained the ambience I’m fond of from the previous parts and there were new features I liked. This is going to be the greatest game, and I…

I’m Playing Baldur’s Gate 3
by Sairung: Baldur’s Gate 3 is a turn-based strategy role playing video game based on the fantasy tabletop Dungeons & Dragons. It is one of the best role-playing games I’ve played. I’m usually not a fan of turn-based combat, but I’m quite fond of this game. Its storylines and quests are deep, immersive, and fun.…

Back to Nioh 2
by: Sairung Years ago, I played, beat, and platinumed Nioh 2 (an action role-playing video game in a samurai setting). I was addicted to it. I played and beat four of the five difficulties. By the time I put the game down, I was stuck, unable to advance on the fifth and final difficulty. This…

300+ Hours into Horizon Forbidden West (continued)

Certain challenges seem to be about repeating them until you luck out. For example: Hunting Grounds: Sheerside Mountains / Plasma Blast Trial.…

I’ve been playing Forbidden West for over 300 hours. I…

Video games I played for hundreds of hours
by Sairung: My husband Alan and I play video games. These are the two I’ve played the most so far. First, Elden Ring, an action role-playing game in a sort of feudal fantasy setting. You fight all sorts of creatures. I’ve played Elden Ring for over 600 hours, and I’m still playing it with Alan…

Who else thinks Garrus Vakarian is the Universe’s coolest guy?
by Sairung: Years ago I played Mass Effect 2, a video game in which you can have your character (the game’s protagonist, named Shepard) choose to romance an NPC. Whom did my Shepard choose? Garrus Vakarian of course! He is cute, intelligent, good hearted, one of the strongest fighters. Also, he’s a maverick and has…
