Games
- Grim Dawn: I was playing along, and already it was getting a bit long. But then I opened a new area and there was a monster that was 50% higher level than me. Now, I could grind it down, that would work. It would probably drop some serious loot. But I don't want to, I don't enjoy grinding, doing the same thing over and over again. So I looked for cheats. I found some, but they didn't work in my situation, for some reason or another, so I stopped playing. 8/10
- Titan Quest 2: and I could just smoothly move to this one, which I still enjoy. It feels much more linear, which is good, but I'm also completely ignoring some of the mechanics.
- The Looker: if you've played The Witness and come away with a feeling of it being a bit pretentious, this game will reassure you: you're not the only one. It is also hilarious. 10/10
