    I’m still playing Quantum Break and Cronos: The New Dawn. A couple of technical issues have slowed me down a bit.

    I’m mid-chapter 4 on Quantum break and I had to restart it yesterday because the game bugged and I fell through a broken bridge and didn’t die when I should have and the game autosaved right there, leaving me with no way of getting out without dying, which took me back there again. I saw the Night Springs easter egg in the beginning of the chapter, pretty funny.

    In Cronos I was having trouble with

    an ambush in the steelworks

    that was being made even more fun with the help of my dying XBOX Series controller. The USB-C port was dying and I had to hold the controller in a very specific position to keep it connected, but sometimes even the vibration disconnected it, and it sometimes took a couple of seconds for the game to register the controller disconnected. The triggers get stuck while pushing them most of the time now, which made charging shots a unique experience. The extra tension was not welcome. I finally bought a new controller (8bitdo Ultimate 2) and yesterday I was able to get past that section, but it still took me a couple of tries.

      Ah that’s a terrible bug! Did you have to restart the whole game or just the chapter? I know the PC port isn’t the best, but I didn’t know there were still bugs like that in it.

        Luckily it was just the fourth level. Otherwise that would have been it for me and the game.

          Yeah that’s fair, haha. It’s a fun game though. One thing that amazed me was the amount of peripheral lore and emails and that kind of stuff they put in the game. It’s surprisingly fleshed out for what is like a 12h standalone blockbuster game. I guess Remedy just like to write.
