Better listen to the fans.

D4 has a 2.3 user rating on MetaCritic. And I now understand why. There isn't a great diversity of things to do after the campaign ends. I might not be playing correctly, but I just go to unbeaten dungeons and kill a bunch of enemies, while almost never picking up gear I can use.

I put a lot of effort in the North puzzles. Nice job! GL on the South puzzles/statues.

Mash,

FYI... Be prepared for a serious cranking up of the difficulty on the West puzzles. I am stumped hard on West 1 puzzle 3. Stumped. Hours. Stumped.

And puzzle 1 and 2 weren't that easy either.

I solved it! But I cheated hard.

Picked up Midnight Suns when it was free on Epic Games Store. Real shame it sold poorly. It's a card game (never played one before) blended with a social simulator. Really enjoying it so far.

Even though I had it easy in first 3 in West I used spark for one of triangle puzzles in S3 - it seems so simple yet I tried it like 5 times and have no idea how to even approach it.

Yeah Midnight Suns is great and one of the most underrated games of the last few years.

Wow, nice job.

I did W1/p4, w1/Triangle, and the two w1/statues last night. Puzzle 4 and the triangle seemed much easier than puzzle 3. The two statues were easier than South 3.

Which South 3 Triangle puzzle? The gravwall or the reflectors/pressure plates. The later has a ton of steps to the end

Just W1-8 left for me. I'm leaving for Berlin tomorrow for 3 days so won't be able to play. The triangle puzzle I meant one/two (easy) connectors and lift at the beginning.

Yeah that triangle puzzle required a bunch of tower of Hanoi type moves. Step one is doing the steps to charge the ball device. A pretty tricky puzzle.

Tonight, I finished the "Jailbreak" Triangle for West 1. I thought it was pretty tough. When I finally completed it I wondered what took so long...

Have puzzles 7 and 8 left.

I finished West 1. I thought puzzle 7 was tougher than puzzle 8.

West 2 has a new device! Kind of cool.

I'm on West 3!!! (Final puzzle world) I couldn't figure out and skipped the West 2 statue requiring a device to complete it. Ugh, I worked on it for several hours too.

I'm done (although who knows?) and went back and started working on Golden puzzles and these pointless sparks/flames. And yeah I need to go back to that triangle puzzle in S3...

Congrats! So to open the Golden gate puzzles, how many normal puzzles or triangles can you skip? Seems to be none.

So far my not finished list is:

S3 statue
W2 statue
W3 just started

I've done all regular puzzles (incl. triangle) and I used a flame for the one in S3. I went back to E1 and was working last night on the Golden Door there but got stuck on the last step (it was 11pm) so went to bed. No idea what's the exact rules, I don't look up anything to avoid spoiling.

The West 3 puzzles just seemed like leftover stuff. No new mechanics, just find the "trick" to solve the room. Kind of weak imo.

The Talos 2 puzzles also seemed simpler in design than Talos 1. Where's the grand sprawling challenges of the old game?

Still a fun game that I would recommend.

Golden Lab puzzles are goat though, I'm progressing very slowly and still on 3/12. I agree with your points, I wonder what DLC brings, but not getting it yet. I'll skip statues, I don't care for them, chasing a spark is pointless and I have no patience for the riddles (how do I have patience for the rest hehe? I'm even considering going back to the Witness and tackling it lol)

I couldn't figure out how to solve the West 2 statue the correct way so I stole a device from a puzzle. Whatever works...

I then tried the West 2 golden door puzzle. Pretty tough!

Another late-to-the-party game for me, LEGO City Undercover. Holy hell, this game is a blast.

P.S. Oh ****, it’s summer sale time.

My personal absolutely favourite game is now 90% off for just 2€:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/

I really believe this game is perfect.

edit: back to Talos spam I've done 6/12 golden door puzzles, I'm loving it. I'm reading DLC reviews every couples days and not only the DLC basically doubles the content but also improves some of the parts particularly with regards to difficulty. It matches Talos 1 DLC in that regard. I think I'll buy it soon (no discount during the sale for now but it's on sale on Fanatical for 20% less)

Im just about done with Talos 1, very enjoyable and found a good 'guide' for hints for the gold stars.

Celeste is great.

Lego City Undercover - I got that for Wii U included when I bought my Wii U used on OfferUp. The game was fun, but like most Lego games, gets repetitive at the end, especially if you are someone who tries to 100% every game they play.

Nothing on my wishlist is super deeply discounted so probably not going to bother.

I finally picked up Kenshi. Looking forward to sinking some serious time into it.

Yes, another disappointing sale (like they've all been since Steam stopped making them fun) - I was thinking of picking up Elden Ring, but it's only 30% off. I'm pretty sure it's been 50% in previous sales, so guess they're cashing in on the DLC.

Did pick up V Rising though (also just 30% but a lot cheaper initially) and really enjoying it. Kind of Diabloish (though not really), but with base building and sucking blood included.

I love Kenshi - brilliant "do whatever you want"-type of game.
