Topic: What game(s) have you been playing lately?

I've played Hades. It's cute for what it is and the characters and voices fit well. There's also some good light comedy too. The only thing that really puts it down for me is that it's one of those games where you are required to die in order to eventually make your way to the end of the game. It's a concept that doesn't really suit my play style and eventually I got tired of it as I felt I was getting nowhere.

Played through the Quake II remaster on medium difficulty. It's now a much better game than it originally was on PC with its subtle gameplay tweaks that go a long way. I never used to be a fan of this game and now I am.

It includes the N64 version, or rather a rebuild of it using Quake II's engine. (More specifically, Nightdive's KEX Engine remaster of the Quake II engine.) The N64 original used a modified version of the Quake engine used for Quake 64, so it actually plays quite a bit different. As such, it's not the perfect recreation of Quake II 64 that I'd hoped it would be, but it's a good effort, just not something that replaces the original.
