Clearing my backlog, I may be some time.

Dead Space 2 all done. T'was a blast, but I forgot how annoying the store booth spacing is in this game, lugging around circuit boards and schematics instead of actually ammo and health, because I've been cut off form the last store is damn frustrating. As with Dead Space, I challenged myself to finishing the game with only the plasma cutter, and not buying any health or ammo. It was definitely touch and go in a couple of spots, at one point I had 1 plasma charge left and on red. And the end sequence took a few goes as I had no health items left. I was playing on normal, and I do not think I would survive IRL doing that challenge on a higher difficulty. Also, I have learned a terrible lesson today. Steam does stores all your save files in the compat folder, along with all other proton necessities, and then deletes them when you uninstall your game. This will not be a problem with modern games as they nearly all support cloud sa...

Dead Space (OG not remake) was a nice throw back. As it was my 3rd platform but of many runs, albeit first in many years. So I decided I would challenge myself, start from scratch and only use the plasma cutter. After a bit further in, and noticing I had only bought new suits so far, I would add to that challenge and try and finish the entire game only buying new suits and power cores. I even bought all the weapons, despite never using them. Done and done. There's always Peng! Onto Dead Space 2 now. May as well continue Isaac's journey. Once again no achievements, so it is just for the fun... Dead Space and fun? Maybe mania would be a better word to use.

Dead Island done and all cheevos completed apart from the 2 4-way coop achievements, just because it is not active enough. Dead Island Riptide does not seem to want to work on Linux full stop, so another one in the Windows clean up, but looking at some online posts, it may not work on Windows either. These were the original releases, not the Definitive Editions. So, onto Dead Space. This is actually a bit of a cheat as I am already about a 3rd of the way through it, but may start from scratch just for the fun of it. No cheevos on this so it is just play and enjoy.

Forgot to update last week, but I'm having to play remotely for the next few weeks, and not sure if it was that, or just general performance issues on a newer OS, but Cry Of Fear was just a nightmare, and not the one I was hoping for. So I moved onto Dead Island, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Already got all the single-player stuff sorted apart from getting to level 50, so wondering about now just jumping on the occasional co-op opportunities as they come up not sure what I'm going to do about the 4 player co-op stuff though, just finding a single player has been difficult.
