Casual PC Gamer. I play space sims, shooters, rpgs and alike, and i like it when games can be played in coop.

This account will be solely focused on video games, video games culture, and to the greatest part my personal experiences playing some of them.

If you're interested in any other topics i care for in my life feel free to follow my general account :-)

Hogwarts Legacy is a great game for everyone who loved the Harry Potter world, but because its creator joined the death eaters it is impossible to justify to spend even one single cent to this franchise, knowing JKR is using her share to feed her hate campaigns.

Luckily you can get it for free at the EPIC store until Dec 18th.

I waited long for a sale, but finally i got me "Star Wars Outlaws". And so far i really like the story, the characters, the many many easter eggs, the humor and even most of the game mechanics. As soon as you realize that against all typical Ubisoft-games you should prioritize the main story and leave most of the side quests for later in the game (after all planets are unlocked) it's big fun for an old fart #StarWars fan like me.

speaking of "options to move"...

#ForbiddenWest

I like how Horizon #ForbiddenWest stepped up the options to move. The new machines are gorgeous and the possibility to glide through the air and at the most the expansion to underwater environments are fun. And i like how everything doesn't "just happen" but is based in the lore.

As always a bit late to the party, but finally i started to roam the Forbidden West of the #Horizon series. Zero Dawn was one of the best games i ever played. It will be hard to top the experience of the first game, because the backstory is known so far now, so i keep expectations realistic. With that in mind i enjoyed the first hours already very much. Same atmosphere, great graphics, it's like coming back "home". Love it so far.

My current fleet:

the Schooner is my work horse. For its size it is fast and agile and with its specialisation for broadsides perfect against convoys.

The Garuda is a sniper and hunter. Not as agile as the first, but fast and has a bonus for hits from far away. Armor is noticeably weaker, so its recommended to keep distance to heavy hitters.

The Barque is for teamplay. It heals friendlies nearby, increases the effect of healing weapons and is crazy fast and agile.

For the Frigate see ALT

I'm positively surprised. I didn't expect too much, but even with all its purely grindy gamecycles it's still fun to play.

I like my new slightly bigger ship 🙂 #SkullandBones

So, #SkullandBones is on sale. 8€ are OK for the game that unfortunately wasn't the big AAA adventure world it wanted to be. But for this price it is fun enough to play despite its flaws. Perfect for casual "jump-ins and have some funsies".

It tries to hide the mainly grinding gameplay of "do stuff and bring it there to get this currency to buy the bigger thing" behind a kind of lore-story, i counted four separate currencies so far plus material-currency for crafting.

But sinking ships is fun.
