Finished MGS 2 last night, I had forgotten how much of a pain the second half of the game is. Pretty much everything after
the Harrier - the platforming section to reach Shell 2 Core, the swimming section to find the Nikita, meeting the President, fighting Vamp, escorting E.E., crossing the oil fence, being "tortured", the Tengu fights, the Ray fight, being strangled again and the Solidus fight -
is basically a string of set pieces that don't have a great deal in common with what the game was all about leading up to that point.

Then again, MGS is quite similar after
the Hind - the cargo lifts (including the fight on one), Vulcan Raven except he's a great boss, the PAL key backtracking, the Rex fight, Liquid and the escape -
so I guess it fits, it's just that that point where the game changes comes relatively later in MGS and is of higher quality and less annoying.

Still, as soon as I finished the game I did a "speed run" of the tanker to get the last few dog tags I'd missed because I didn't level up my grip strength, I could've gone faster (I managed to get two alerts on the same camera, if you've played the game you can probably guess which one) but did it in a little over half an hour. Playing the game normally is fun, but using speedy "loud stealth" techniques is fun too.

@tbtstt until the Master Collection I'd bought MGS 1 three times (original, PSN, PC), MGS 2 four times (original, Substance, HD and PC) and MGS 3 twice (original and HD)

I need to check my MGS shelf to make sure I am not forgetting any, but I have only bought MGS1 once (original), MGS VR once (original), MGS2 three times (original, Substance and HD) and MGS3 three times (original, Subsistence and HD).

Master Collection will take me up to four for MGS2 and MGS3. Also I (perhaps foolishly) have a pre-order in for Metal Gear Solid Delta so arguably that will be a fifth MGS3!

Yeah. The end sections do rather jump around (which I guess they sort of need to in order to fit within the narrative), MGS1 was the same, but I personally think think there is a better flow to the end of MGS1 than MGS2.

The "arrival" at the final fight in MGS2 is jarringly quick, but then it is no secret that a chunk of story (or at least video) was cut out there.

About half way through Dead Island 2, a very fun game. I could care less about the story but the gameplay is great fun, never played the original so wasn't sure what to expect.

Next up is Deliver at all costs and then Limbo, all on the Steam Deck.

The best thing about PC gaming is the amount of free games which are given away on a regular basis.
 
Finished with The First Berserker: Khazan

One of the best and probably hardest Souls game.
Masterpiece with fantastic and emotional story, very elaborate combat, soundtrack that's following all that emotions and to me, most beautiful cel shading graphics.
Clear 9/10 from me

Chipping away at Doom: The Dark Ages. I admit it took a little while for the game to click for me, but it's very addicting with certain weapons and upgrades about halfway through the game.

It is a bit of a shame that the game is so fast paced that you don't really get to stop and appreciate how good looking it is at times.
 
I‘m on my second playthrough of The Witcher 3 that I started in January. I‘m currently 200 hours in and started the Blood and Wine DLC last week. I still love this game just as much as I did in 2019, when I played it for the first time.
 
After hearing about Multiversus being shutdown I rushed to redownload but I thought I was too late being that it was the 31st but I decided to try and download it. It worked got a notification from the PS App that a game with no screenshot downloaded. So I played that for a few minutes. I thought it was good for what it was.
