Playing The Surge, a Souls-like sci-fi game with some fresh ideas for its time. The combat is like a button masher with combos and finishing blows, and dismemberment that rewards you with new gear. If you see an enemy with gear you want, you hack off their limbs and collect the gear, piece by piece.

I’m playing Heretic in split screen with my son on our Steam HTPC. We’re in the second chapter now.

And merry Christmas!

Dark Souls

It’s not for me, honestly. I want to feel freedom from a game, but Souls-like games make me feel trapped.
