The sheep dodges and rolls away... what's not to love!!!

All good now!!! :)

****
I can't believe I was able to play this game in PC (sold my PS4 hoping to buy PS5 but the latter is hard to come by in my region). I love this game a lot. But I encountered issues with the last patch. FPS dropped for some reason. Playing other games has no issues (say Metro Exodus EE). I really want to finish this game. Hope the FPS issue gets fixed soon. I can wait. :)

I really want to play this game but it's full of bugs, like intermittent audio and progress not saved issues. It's not lovable at this time. We'll get this when issues are resolved. Sorry love. :(

Was it just me or was Tomb Raider 2013 really tougher and more challenging than Rise Of The Tomb Raider? I mean the parachute scene and that big guy in Gone Missing mission on TR 2013… sheesh I was such a potato. Although, ROTR story was more interesting I guess (intrigued by post credit scene here). Graphics wise, there's no doubt that ROTR’s was really more gorgeous (Lara’s interaction with the environment). In combat, I sometimes think that it’s most probable that TR 2013 prepared me for ROTR. I could move much faster and knew how to use my weapons way better in ROTR. Loved so much the crafting (especially poison arrows, smoke grenades and Molotov), hiding in bushes, grappling and swinging, swimming, and arrow climbing. I could even manage my ammos much better too. I felt like a Jason Bourne and could come up with my own “sinister” plan on how to make my way through every mission with these sick abilities. And yes, Lara 2013 character is way cuter than Lara 2015. :)

This was the day I have completed the Tomb Raider story. The story was nothing new really. But the experience of playing it was worth the 53 hours I spent so far. I got immersed into the game on every turn and challenges that it was hard to put it down even if you keep failing on first tries and no matter how brutal the next scenes will be. I held my breath and just kept going until I lose myself in the game once more.

There's a bit of a sting when I finally realized I was almost at the end of the game. But then I find consolation at the thought that I can always play it all over again. :)

Knife of Dunwall makes you love Daud. I did. This game is timeless. :)

Dishonored... This is the video game that got me so hooked as if it was a TV series. I even dreamt about it once. I wanted so much to make good decisions in every turn of the game. And most of all, I wanted Samuel to be proud of me coz he deserves it. He saved my life. He was though until one time I decided to be a jerk out of curiosity. To end the siege of Hounds Pit Pub, I decided to burn everyone using Piero's and Sokolov's machine. But, I unknowingly killed Callista (who's like a mother to Emily too). I had no inkling she will be included in the machine's targets. Piero said enemies only. Anyway, after the end of siege, I met up with Samuel. I felt his razor sharp words cut through saying what I had become in between while giving me information about Kingsparrow Island. When we reached the destination, he didn't wish me luck (like he used to) and was practically throwing me out of his boat. He yelled get out of his boat like a couple of times, even fired a gunshot to alarm Kingsparrow Island guards -- which it did. I had to run for my life. It was my last boat ride with him too. I was surprised and still am. It was like real life and didn't feel good at all. Well, it's a good thing it is not real life.

Dishonored is spellbinding! It was like a drug for 2 weeks straight for me. Still high on it to this day.

PS. Sorry for any spoilers. :)

I can only imagine the snow. Steep gave me a haven to experience it. It's the best gift ever. :)

It's the only game I spent a lot of hours on that I had to stop for a while coz of work. You will never know where time has gone once you start playing. RUST... the time snatcher!! :)

I saw the Hiro character as just another image on the internet. The image is so adorable that I saved it and used it as my avatar. When a friend saw it on our messenger chat, he said it's a game he used to play when he was young. Intrigued, I looked it up on YouTube and watched the gameplay. I was instantly charmed. When I actually started playing it, the more I find it so cheerful and relaxing that you lose track of time. I guess Ima keep playing it for the longest time. :)
