Another week, another recommendations thread.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

    I’m currently going through Little Nightmares for the first time. I’m having a lot of fun! It’s short and sweet, and if you enjoy good atmospheric tension and not just jump scare city, then try it out!

    Not the first time I tried it, but this time something clicked and I really enjoy it. After getting what to do with the spells I was amazed at variety of weapon you can create. Great game

    With OpenMW v0.48’s (non-RC) release imminent I was reminded of how I’ve been wanting to give Morrowind a fair try since forever, as I’ve never really played the game, just seen parts of it as I watched my cousin play many games back then. Last week I actually started playing. I don’t know how far I’ll be able to get through the game as some of its gameplay mechanics really are rough to get used to. But so far I’m farther than I’ve ever gotten in the game, so that’s something already :).

      I came across a philosophical take on Morrowind that not only stuck with me, it pulled me deeper into the game. I don’t know the origin of this take, but essentially it’s that all the versions of this main character that you play, infinitely varied as played by everyone in the world, have all co-existed in the same infinite cross-dimensional slice of time, which the daedric prince Azura has locked in a time loop. This has resulted in stories of what actually transpired being vague, and most of Morrowind being obliterated after the events of TES III.

      There is something both moving and creepy about feeling like I’m contributing to the machinations of this seemingly benign daedra, whose aim is ultimately one of the pursuit of perfection and humanity, which is so impossible to achieve, it can only be expressed like a chronological equivalent of a math equation that approaches infinity, but with the lives of those poor people of Morrowind, and the never-ending reincarnation of Nerevar.

        Creepy indeed yes 😅. But certainly an immersive way to pull yourself further into the world, I imagine. Thank you for sharing!
