Risk of Rain Returns was released last week, and I'm having fun with that. It looks fantastic and plays well, for the most part. Some parts feel a bit clunky, since you can only shoot forwards and have to wait for the animation to finish before you can turn around. However, the developers said in the first hotfix patch logs, that they'll implement controls to specifically shoot left or right, so that will be less of an issue, once that's implemented. The current behavior definitely made me avoid some characters, just because it's kind of a pain in frantic fights, where you're getting swarmed by enemies.

So far I beat the game once, on the default difficulty, with the Loader, but I'm still unlocking stuff, learning, getting used to everything, but mostly just sucking.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker just doesn't want to end, and it's starting to get really tedious. After three story chapters back-to-back, and me thinking it might finally pick up the pace, the game throws you a curveball and has like 1–2 years of in-game downtime. Nothing happens, except for the occasional side quest, that takes like five minutes to complete. Who thought that's a good idea? Yesterday, I finally made it to the next chapter, so I might be able to finish it this week (for real this time).

So many weird design choices, along with a lot of bugs, make it really hard to recommend this game to anyone. I still want to play the sequel, eventually (I wanna be a swarm that eats everything, even though it's supposed to suck), but some of the things I've read don't really sound appealing.
