Still having a lot of fun with Overwatch, though there's not much to say about it. They've been running a big 10-Year Anniversary event, which has included game modes that replicate the original launch versions of Overwatch and Overwatch 2. I'd forgotten how much they'd changed (Entire teams of Torbjorns! Doomfist was damage!?). It's even made me appreciate (some of) the changes they made to Orisa, which I honestly thought I'd never forgive.

Slowly getting on with 007: First Light, too. It's very good, but I have no idea how far through I am. Presumably not very - I've only just got past the mission that was (partly) shown in the gameplay reveal demo.

Finally, I briefly dipped back into Destiny 2, following the news that it's coming to the end of development. It's still got best-in-class gun shootin', but what passes for the story is completely unintelligible, and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, or where to start. There's a "Quests" tab in the menu, but it's honestly very little help.

Looking forward to Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. The first one is silly, arcadey fun, and I'm glad we'll finally be able to add a fourth player to the squad.

Thick as Thieves jumped right up my wishlist when they announced it was going co-op only, though that's tempered a little by the fact that it only supports 2 players. Still, if the console version follows the PC launch and only costs a fiver, I won't complain overmuch.

Why hasn't it happened yet? Honestly didn't think it would take this long. Not that the aftermath is likely to be an improvement, I suppose.

I think I'm going to get 007 - First Light - reviews and impressions have been really positive, IOI have earned a LOT of goodwill with the years of support they've put in for the Hitman series and it just looks really fun.

I only managed to play the first mission last night (accursed day one update!), so can't give a very thorough review, but I like it so far. The writing is very good - wry and witty, without veering into smarm. Looking forward to getting into it more.

Oh no, am I finally going to have to try and play through Alien: Isolation..?

Play
Nothing new - still on an Overwatch kick (though I haven't dared venture into Competitive yet), and nearing the end of the Aliens: Fireteam Elite campaign, which has been fun (if oddly stress-free, for an Aliens game?). Oh, and I finished off one of the Star Wars Outlaws expansion quests, finally. Hondo Ohnaka is an irritating sack of crap, and I hope never to see him again.

Want
007: First Light, plz. I'd like to have a go at South of Midnight, too, now that it's hit PlayStation, and it's surprisingly inexpensive. Also very much looking forward to House House's upcoming Big Walk, which is just the kind of chill, oddball co-op nonsense I'm in the mood for.

I was looking forward to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, until I found out they're using Gen AI in development. You'd think a story about a little-understood parasitic mechanism that corrupts and remakes everything it touches would make them think about that, but no - THE BEAST MUST FEED.

The Replicant Rebellion Kickstarter is finally fulfilling, and my Big Box of Blade Runner Books™ arrived today, so that's all going on the Read pile!
