Wot are you playing (video games)

Because of the show, I have gone back to replay The Last of Us, though I shelled out for the Part 1 because it was billed as having updated play mechanics and expanded exploration. Sadly, I am not noticing any difference in those two categories from the PS3 version, but it certainly looks nice.

I also picked up Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic which despite being a big SW fan, I’ve never played before because it was initially an X-box exclusive and I didn’t have one. Now I have it on my Switch and it’s pretty good.

Oh Spring Sale… Why do you get so much of my money every year?!

Wow, that’s some good bargains in the Steam sale.
(Civ 6 for £5 instead of £50… do I need to go down the rabbit hole of learning Civ games?)

I wouldn’t, but perhaps you won’t experience the same disappointment with the civ genre that I did.

Civ 6 has been on 90% off sale or better so many times now, they make their money from the DLC.

Good time to get Tabletop Simulator, too.

You are far better off with Civ IV if you did want to get into Civ.

Having just watched all the Mad Max films for Ribbon of Memes, the film podcast I do with @RogerBW , I was pleased to see the Mad Max game from 2015 for less than 4 quid. Having also picked up Expeditions: Vikings for £6 as a few people (including people here) have recommended it to me.

And wow this opening scene was basically heavily pilfered by Furry Road. Pale tattooed religious warriors shouting ‘witness this’!

I think I prefer Civ 5 to 4 (and 6). That might be because I was getting fed up of my cities being flattened by 100-unit tall stacks of pikemen though…

The mad max game is well worth £4.

Very pretty

I’ve been playing for 10 mins and I feel like I have got my money’s worth already.

I find the one unit per tile change means way more micromanagement and makes me pretty unwilling to wage wars. But also I recommend IV because it has a bunch of stellar total conversion mods and far as I know neither subsequent game has anything comparable.

That was good, for about 40 NZD I got 3 games, Spirit Island, Wingspan and Northguard from my Wishlist in Steam.
