Okay, okay, only a slight reason to be alarmed. I promised 30 games in two months, did I? Phew...
Well, I started with the first one, being Divinity: Original Sin 2. It is going to take a long while, but I found a (hopefully) better co-op partner this time around, so it'll take less than a year. The infrequent playing schedule also allows me to play other stuff in the meanwhile, so I'll try to make steady progress toward that 30 game goal.
The new Divinity looks a lot more... expensive. Definitely shows that a lot more work went into it, and everything looks and sounds just fantastic. The gameplay mechanics are a bit different, changing % damage reduction from armor to flat "armor HP" that has to be destroyed first, reducing overall AP, most status effects can only be applied once the enemy's armor is depleted, and other changes that kind of require you to re-evaluate your strategies from the previous game. Still, it feels familiar enough, and perhaps even a bit more accessible than the last one. So far, the differing mechanics are just that - different, not better or worse.
With Christmas this weekend, I'll have a few days cut off from my other activities. And then there's some final schoolwork I have to finish before the exams start, which might eat a total of another few days. So don't expect all too much next week either, but the more I get done now, the less I'll have to do later.
