Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (22 hours): @Massalinie got me to play this game. One of her friends plays it and she was interested. I very much dig 4 player co-op games as it allows for simple repetition grinding which is very comforting to me. Just playing the low level difficulty most anyone who has played other wave based 4 player games can walk through. There is exploring for extra points or increasing difficulty. Big issue is the game is class and weapon based but poor balance. The ranged elf will absolutely slaughter everything in her path and the dual wielding pistol gentleman is right behind her. A game based on Warhammer where the hack and slahers are second tier doesn't feel good after 10+ hours. I stopped with plenty of grind left because it wasn't more than simply grinding, how PayDay2 felt after they kept introducing more and more stuff or freaking Overwatch drops where you play to check a box.

Warframe (17 hours): Coworker got me into this before Destiny 2 was given out to everyone as a please don't be mad at us. Space gun-fu 3rd person shooter that is F2P. Had fun for about 10 hours but after that were unlocking or manufacturing takes a while or has some complexity I was out. There are several gravity exploits for movement speed which means spamming the keyboard as you run down halls looting. Worth a few hours to see what the game is about. More mobs than Destiny 2 and feels a lot tighter but less polish of course.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (15.2 hours): To much gofor stuff. They placed a lot of things to collect, places to go, and extra actions to do but it overwhelmed me. Even with putting in a high effort level I at best completed 75% of one area, it broke me.

The premise of the game is Croft just murdered a bunch of innocent people because she can't stop won't stop the tomb raiding. Her journey through the game is learning to leave things and just look instead of this obsessive compulsive hoarding at all cost, including human. Her journey feels false in the end despite saving the world and a 'lost' culture that she had no idea existed despite its almost constant contact in some form with the outside world. The last act with its insane siege battles and magic could have lasted a bit longer. You got these super awesome powers then it is over very quickly.

Hopefully this is the last game for a while until they figure out how to reboot the series, everything was planned out at the conclusion. The journey in this series is worth the time but the magic has faded enough to just leave it for a while. I got to pet a llama.

Paladins (31 hours): @Massalinie followed me onto this game after I became so frustrated with grinding overwatch. More MOBA and it felt like there was much less risk from instant kills so you could react. Honestly fun times when the games had people who knew how to play.

Minecraft StoryMode (12.1 hours): Man what did they do to the story of this. They couldn't figure it out so things ended up so disjointed and dumb after the chopped off the first story arc.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season (9.2 hours): From a story telling view the final season feels like a small step back as they returned to making the player manually talk to whomever they want and find collectibles. This didn't seem to add any special side stories that you could 'find' but simply cause certain scenes to take longer to play out. The game is closing down the Telltale Walking Dead series as the studio shut down shop permanently but the story is trying to figure how to raise a child in the after The Walking Dead universe.

The episodes were a bit long, maybe because only 4. Normally I am used to them being sub 1 hour and slowly getting longer. These episodes started at almost 2 hours, except for the last one. I tried to play this one a little nicer since what I did affected my child but half the time it felt like that bit in my butt later.......they had the perfect ending shot but then they had to ruin it by putting 30 more minutes of game in. In that last 30 minutes they put in a cool team credits scene which could have been just a cut scene but they also put in a freakin' blade runner speech out of left field.
