Finished Baldur’s Gate 3, Act 3 was much buggier than I thought. Still had a great time and want to do another playthrough in a year or two, once most of the bugs are fixed.

Started Quake 2, the recently released Enhanced version. It’s fun, I like the weapons more than in Quake 1, the Super Shotgun can actually kill stuff now. I also prefer the sci-fi environments more than the medieval ones in the first game.

Lastly, I randomly decided to give Baldur’s Gate 1 a shot, after I finished the third one. I never really played it or any of the other old Infinity Engine games before, although I got all the Steam releases years ago. I’m playing as a Half-Orc Fighter, named Big Stick, who goes around whacking stuff with a big stick (a quarterstaff). The game is ok so far, nothing spectacular. I’m still really early, only chapter 2, and I’m just travelling around everywhere I can, bonking stuff until it explodes, and helping people in need.

Endgame of Devil tickled me for a bunch of hours this week. It’s a neat little auto-battler / deck-builder. You are the devil and need to protect your treasure from adventurers. To do so you fill up your dungeon and your deck with lots of evil minions and set off insane combos. Slime deck! Rat deck! Ghost pirate deck! Burst worm toxic fog death loop deck!

I love these types of casual experiences in this genre.
