Shadow Gambit
-------------

I've probably put about twenty five hours or so into this and the
enjoyment is starting to wane. That may sound like I'm not saying it's a
good game but for me even twenty hours is fairly long before I put a
game down and I'm not one to just carry on because I want to see the
ending, I'd rather come back to it later. Overall I've really enjoyed it
and the only real criticism I have is that doing things on the ship can
be a bit confusing/clunky. So I have a crew tale at the moment that says
speak to X and Y and I don't even know who X and Y are.

Talos Principle II
------------------

I couldn't resist trying the demo as I'm a big fan of the original. From
what I've seen this is more of the same type of puzzling (and fun it is,
as well as polished in the learning through gameplay and not
step-by-step tutorials) but with a few added mechanisms. So think the
same as from Portal 1 to 2. Once the reviews come out I can see this
will be under 'What Have you Been Playing in November.'

Ooops, I thought I saved that to drafts!

Heh. I've done that so often that nowadays I delete the info from the
recipient field (comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action) until after I am done
typing. That way if I accidentally DO hit send (which I will, at some
point), I get an error message rather than actually sending a
half-finished message.

Not saying that's what you should do (it's a rather convoluted and
annoying solution)... just that I feel your pain. ;-)

Side note: I only saw this post after I sent my "What Have You Been
Playing" thread... else I might have just reused this one. Less
clutter, you see.
