tonight the apparently rather good Expedition 33

I'm just reading the reviews for this in some confusion. For some reason I thought this was some sort of early-access multiplayer battle royale thing? But apparently it's a JRPG and it looks quite good. No idea how I got that so wrong or what I was getting it mixed up with.

EDIT: worked it out, it was 33 Immortals, which also hit Game Pass a week or two ago. Bloody stupid game titles.

I can't believe they missed the opportunity to do the funniest thing and release new Horse Armour DLC for the remaster.

I liked Oblivion a lot (more so than Skyrim, I think) but I'm getting my fantasy nonsense fix from Avowed at the moment so can't see myself starting another one.

Suspect I might have had enough of Blue Prince as well. The RNG is miserable, and even now that I'm learning how and where to best use different rooms (and discovered a pretty significant mid-objective) I spend more runs making no progress than seems intended, waiting for it to spit out something useful that can unblock some hurdle or other.

I'm not sure I'm getting this - I've played a few runs, assembled a random collection of rooms from the options it gives me, ended up blocking myself into a corner eventually and then restarted.

I'm seeing people talking about hundreds and hundreds of hours of content and I'm just looking at it thinking HOW??? But it's oddly compulsive, and I'm tempted to start making notes as I've uncovered a couple of bits as I've gone through, so there's something about it for sure.

From what I've seen, it's looking a little soulless - not just in those photos but in others too. Oblivion's weird bloomy lighting was such a part of that game's identity that removing it just makes it all look a bit generic.

I think it's going to be on Game Pass though so at least we can all check it out for ourselves.

All that is to say, with Skyrim getting re-released on everything under the sun, I can't be the only person yearning for a return to Cyrodil? It has some things better than Skyrim I think? Am I wrong or were the Daedric quests usually better than their Skyrim counterparts?

Everyone always forgets Elder Scrolls Online but it’s a fully-voiced RPG that plays perfectly well solo and fleshes out most of Tamriel in exquisite detail. I prefer it to pretty much all of the solo Elder Scrolls games.
