Lex, that game is languishing in my enormous pile of un-played games.

Do let us know how you like it.

It may sit in my unplayed pile for a while lol as I have just bought a slew of games very cheap in the Steam sale (largely on flotsam's recommendations) including Forgotton Anne and Candle which I have just started playing, but I will probably at least dip into it once the disc arrives and I will certainly keep you posted on progress.

Great! This time of year has a curious way of increasing the to-play pile, doesn't it?

Maybe some kind of malware will come along that redirects my web browser every time I go to GOG, Steam, and Big Fish games. devil lol

I have finally got myself to stick with games that are like other games I play. Otherwise I end up with even more games that will never be played.

I am liking Alien Isolation a lot, but it is hard. I finally met up with the alien and he killed me three times before I got past him. In the beginning I was lost and had to ask for help. Getting around is at times is hard. There are few save stations. I have been trying for quite a while to get past an android who is blocking my path to the next objective. I am still having fun. It is a very good game.

I'm obviously playing Days Gone, which is a relatively easy game to get into, has a big world to explore, and allows you to nuke huge hordes of zombies with jars of napalm -- because doesn't EVERYONE secretly want to do that?

Pokey, I should give Alien Isolation a go just to see what it's like.

Hagatha, I think you would enjoy the game. It is not easy, but very enjoyable. Early in the game you can explore without being killed often. When I got to the third mission there seemed to be a lot more of the androids, who are hard to kill. Finally got past that part and ready to take on the next mission.

My Alien Isolation disc has arrived for the Xbox 360, so I am ready to give it a shot, but I may try to finish Forgotton Anne and Luna The Shadow Dust first so that I do not have quite so many partly played games at the same time on my iMac... smile

Is it like System Shock 2? It sounds like it. SS2 is still one of my favourite games ever!

Yes, I would say it is quite a bit like System Shock 2, which is one of favorites too. I just got out of one large building--wasn't easy--and took the transit to a medical facility and it reminds me of SS2 though more realistic. The place is dark and empty except for one worker who has a job for you to do before he will help you. The facility is huge. After a lot of exploring, I got lost and then got killed by the alien. Decided it was time to quit for the night. I know I am going to die a lot.

If it is like SS2, that's a strong recommendation.

Sigh. So many games. So little time.

Okay. So now I'm on to The Outer Worlds. So far, so good.

EDIT: Outer Worlds: fun game, not really story-driven. Fairly linear, fun graphics, and an interesting levelling system. Sort of reminds me of a mixture of KOTOR2 and Mass Effect 2 without the story.

Okay, so I got bored with The Outer Worlds, BG 3 is not playable for me at the moment, so I thought I'd download Alien Isolation and give it a go. If that failsme , I seem to be in the mood for a replay of Prey, too.


EDIT: Phooey. About 30 minutes into Alien Isolation I encountered a game-breaking bug with one of the power generators. No way to proceed.

Sorry to hear about you Alien Isolation issues (I have yet to fire it up): Prey was quite good fun, but Black Mesa would be my choice if you have a machine on which it will run (sadly I don't as it is only available for PC rather than iMac) santa

Update: Black Mesa is currently on a deal from Steam (at least in UK) saving 75%, and I am going to try a download called WINE which may allow me to play it on the iMac after all (don't know whether the other sort of wine may help...) blackkitty

Black Mesa? I think I already have it. I'll check it out.

I was quite enjoying Alien Isolation. Just the right leel of uncertainty and creepiness. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game to see if that will help. I wasn't very far along in the game so I might restart it and see if I can get past the glitch.

Hagatha, sorry that you are having this problem. I hope someone in the Steam community will come up with the answer. I had a problem at the same point but it was because I couldn't see the circle going around the E. After watching some videos it was clear.

I see you got past that part. Glad to see it. Those guys helped me a lot. I'm about to leave the medical center and I'll sure be glad to get out. That is the hardest part of the game.

Pokey, I've got stuck again. Or maybe unnerved. The game is remarkably atmospheric. I actually got the creeps when the Alien saw me, or heard me, and I raced up the stairs into a locker. I'm leaving the game on my computer so that I can have another bash at it when I feel a bit more like exploring a ship with an Alien roaming around!

In the meantime, I'm going to go back to Days Gone for another hit of zombie madness. At least in that game I have weapons. lol

I haven't hidden in a locker yet. Under tables or desks or moving around furniture to keep out of his sight works better. Right now I think the androids are worse. I am stuck too, with two androids who are hard to get by. This is about the middle of the game. Hope you return to the game soon.

I have weapons, a flamethrower, shotgun, revolver, stun baton, and a mechanic's jack.

Just started Death Stranding (did anyone play?) and Braid comes after that. Hope you are enjoying Forgotten Anne Lex.
And I will definitely put Alien Isolation on the list!

I started Death Stranding and was thoroughly enjoying it and then reaized I needed a controller. I bought one, but still haven't got around to learning how to use it. I should really go back to it. It's an intriguing game and quite original.

But I'm still enjoying my second run through Days Gone, Alien Isolation. I played Black Mesa a couple of weeks ago and that was great, too. I got tired of Outer Worlds, though.
