Well. I thought the new Oblivion Remastered would be my go-to game for a while, but then I was hit with this!

The only downside of this amazing experience so far is exactly what I feared it might be: My age.

The days when I had a whole summer vacation fueled by soda and raw meat my mom slipped under the door, while wondering why adults needed something as inconvenient as sleep are over, as is my once unslakable patience for writing page after handwritten page of scribbled spell combos, level maps, obscure tips, ability lists and God knows what else, in my single minded determination to reach the end of a given game.

I’m going on memory alone on this one, and my once tachyonic reflexes are a tad slower as well, which is also something to consider.

I guess that’s why as you get older you tend to slowly switch to more sedentary and perhaps more cerebral gaming genres…

Like flight sims.

Old instincts are returning however, and I shall persevere!

Meanwhile, the Trailer and Review: By the way, just as with Oblivion Remake, this game is free if you have Gamepass.

 

 

 

 

 

Well its a week or so afterward, and its cool to see others have matched my enthusiasm for this experience. (was beginning to wonder if it was just me)

It now has the highest game rating ever, physical copies are sold out, and even the French president has given a nod.

Oh, and a possible movie deal.
