I got stuck in two puzzle games today, Inside (again) and Book of Unwritten Tales 2. I always hope for great things from adventure games but usually they drive me a little crazy. The problems I come across in these games occupy my mind later on. I think I figured out what I need in Book of Unwritten Tales 2 but I'm still clueless in a problem with Inside. What to do.

I've been jumping around alot between different games lately, kinda going by instinct. I played Inside, got stuck, thought about it, returned and then got stuck again. I played Dead Rising 4 because I heard it didn't have time limits like the previous games. So far that's true and I'm loving just wacking my way through zombies and constructing new weapons as I go. But then Torchlight showed up this month as a Games with Gold freebie. I've been wanting to play this for years. So I jumped right in, and so did my friend Mark. I'm diggin' it. Further details follow. 

It’s time again for some game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  There’s some pretty good ones in here this time, so do be sure to check them out.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK, time to find out why I named this blog “Buff Penguin Reviews!”

I finally had enough grinding for achievements in Borderlands 2, Xbox 360 version. So much so, that I wiped my whole hard drive of installed games and started over. I'm from here on out not going after achievements or trophies. I really don't have the time, and, after a lot of grinding, reduces my enjoyment of gaming. So today I played a lot of other stuff. 

I feel like Dark Souls 3 just came and went without any significant cultural impact like previous From Soft games. I was recently replaying the main 'vanilla' game without the DLC and I got to about 2/3 of the way when I got kind of bored. The weird thing is that I got through a lot of it over a weekend in just a few hours very easily and the whole thing feels like Dark Souls DLC. I've yet to play Sekiro, but after playing DS3, I really want new experiences and hope Souls hybernates for a long while. Bloodborne 2 however, I'm ready for. 

I went to gamestop to buy kingdom hearts 3 the other day, but it wasn't on sale so I got a double-pack of Prey and Dishonored 2 for $20. Not sure how I missed these two releases as they seem to have a lot of the gameplay elements and atmosphere that I enjoy in games. Completely forgot about them. I was too busy playing Monster Hunter World I guess? Yeah, recently I've just  been playing through whole series and putting off new releases so I've mainly been buying new games on sale later in the year. I'm sure I've missed a lot now. Has any of your gaming habits changed over the years? I don't really keep up with new games any more. A gamestop employee was trying to hype me up about all the new games coming out this year and I wasn't that excited except for maybe Borderlands 3. Poor dude was hyping me up on the new Football game and I had no idea who the super special downloadable athletes are with the pre-order. I just went along with it to make it easier for both of us. Oh I love me some football!
