Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is very much... more Ratchet & Clank, but also a beautiful demo of the PS5's power and features. A fun side romp that seemed shorter than its predecessor.
Rooting for Argentina on behalf of my son and Messi and also now María Becerra
Platinum 97: VA11 Hall A I played through this wonder three (very slow) times for the platinum, and it became such a mantric experience. I'm a little sad it's done after all these years.
Krypto is still the best puppy! So while Supergirl never reaches the heights of Superman (though the film tries with plenty of homages) and the various story threads don't all get the strongest solutions, this is another great addition to the DCU that I look forward to watching again.
"Still Wakes the Deep" is surprisingly short, but there's a ton packed into its few hours. I think some of the "walking simulator" aspects played against the story, but I will be playing through the DLC (billed as a pseudo-sequel) at a future point.
The Making of Karateka is a fascinating behind-the-scenes library and definitive collection I enjoyed "playing." A touching love letter to a father. I have yet to beat any iteration of Karateka, and will save that for another day.
A little shocked to see only 19.1% of players finished the game, but LIFE IS STRANGE 2 is a fairly traumatic, dark story compared to the first, and at times horribly brutal. I'm happy with my ending, though maybe not everything I did along the way. Time for something more lighthearted.
That said, 69% (nice) in, I really, really dig the "golden path"
The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson made me laugh, cry, and want to run for Congress. Highly recommended.
Platinum no. 92: Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition What a journey, what a love story.
Yeah, bitch!!!!!! Was NOT seven minutes (and three seconds) in heaven
