Yep, some more. Seems to never end, but who wants it to. I played my routine games and several others after that.
Farm Together - Got 10k of diamonds, halfway to my next plot of land. My farmhands ate lots of blueberry muffins and fish curry.
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare II: I thought I had played this for a rewards quest before but that was the first one. This sequel looks better graphically. It's really fun. You start as a sunflower and rapid-fire shoot zombies left and right. I did several solo missions before guessing that the rewards quest was probably for multiplayer. I was right. Sometimes the quest goals are not clear at all. So I played multiplayer where zombies fight plants like it was Fortnight or something. I died a lot but got enough kills for the rewards quest. You can customize your plant or zombie and I saw a lot of interesting ones made by other people. I stopped after that but I wanted to do more solo missions. I'll get to it sometime later.
Lego Indiana Jones: I was going to do just one more achievement and ended up finding all the collectibles in the game. It wasn't so hard once I turned on the special 'cheats" like Artifact Locator which you can buy once you collect the right Parcel Post. There are still 15 achievements though because there are three missions in the Artifacts Room of the University. They are free-form levels where you have to find ways to make 1M pips (or nuts, or whatever they are called). I wasn't into it so I decided to stop and move on to Lego Batman next time.
I thought that maybe I'd expand my lego game playing to all "baby" games. You know, kids games, animated movie tie-ins, that sort of thing. It would be interesting. Some of them are actually simple fun and some of them are god awful dreck, but all are generally easy achievement games, which is fun to pursue even though it doesn't hardly matter. I do silently compete with a one PhantasyStar77 on my friends list. He crushes me most months. I don't know how he does it.
Torchlight III: I just played a few missions for a rewards quest but I have full intention of giving this game a lot of time when it comes up in my list. It's a Diablo III-style game with chubby cute characters and powerful sounding attacks. I played as the robot with an owl partner. It's fun.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: It's a rental from the library so anything at all that annoys me means it's going back. I don't have it forever; or actually, I have it as long as I want because I'm staff, but it's sort of unfair and I don't want to do that. I probably have 3 weeks before I have to return it. Anyway, the game is really great. The kid in the beginning looks exactly like the kid in the recent God of War. The whole game even looks like God of War, really. Which is great because GoW looks amazing.
I was worried I'd have to do a lot of stealth action, and I did in the beginning, but soon I was hacking and slashing in pitched battles. I rescued my clan, put them in a longboat, and sailed away, raiding a village along the way. Then I got to a friendly village and did some missions. I got to ride a horse, see visions of a dragon after drinking a seer's potion, and learn what Flyting is. I'd say it's like Viking rap. I got my ax sharpened, inked up head to toe, and got ready to see the town's chief, who is my step-father or something and is angry at me. That's where I left it for today.
That was fun. I'll be gardening tomorrow, so no binge gaming until next week.
