I discovered what I did wrong in Wolfrenstein Younblood, but I had put the game away already. So I jumped into We Happy Few on Game Pass. Then I got annoyed and switched to Apex Legends but got kicked out for network problems. Finally i tried Battle Chasers: Nightwar and got hooked. 

We Happy Few: So much like Bioshock but without the shooting. It's more about stealth and melee fighting. I got to the military base and had trouble finding the key I needed. I started tripping alarms and things got crazy. I think it's funny you can sit in any chair, pull up a newspaper, and be totally concealed. I also hid under beds. This key still eluded me even with the ease of which I could hide. I wanted to search more without being bothered with guards. So I put the game down for now. 

I like the theme of taking a happy pill to keep from remembering why Britain was under German rule. 

Apex Legends: My first attempt at Battle Royale. I couldn't get through the tutorial without getting kicked from the server. I'm not sure what was going wrong there. But even from the little I played I could tell the gameplay was great. Titanfall creators really know gameplay. I try it again another time.  

Battle Chasers: Nightwar: I was thinking about Wizardry and started a download of the Bard's Tale 1-3 remasters. In the meantime I tried Battle Chasers and was delighted to see it was also turn-based. It's a lot like Diablo if it had turn-based battles. The visuals are colorful and rich reminding me a bit of Vanillaware games like Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown. The gameplay is streamlined but becomes more nuonced as more abilities are aquired. I'm really enjoying it. 

That's a day.

Wait, Apex Legends is by the Titanfall people? I am way more interested now.

Yea, Respawn Entertainment, the guys who left Infinity Ward (COD) over that scandal years ago.

I listen to some gaming podcasts. That keeps me up to date. Used to be magazines. Ah, I miss magazines.

I used to love the Battlechasers comics when I was a teenager. It's a shame that he never finished it.

Yea, I've never heard of it before, but I'm interested now. The visuals are really good.

I'm gonna pick up Battlechasers for the Switch or my iPad eventually. I've heard it's great.

It's really good. Based on a late 90s comic book series I never heard of. Beautiful art design and very accessible but deep gameplay.
