I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

I caught Stardew fever and I made a new meadowlands farm to check out the content from a fresh run. It's been a few years since the last time I played, just long enough where I can tolerate another playthrough.

Before that I was on a mission to play all the SaGa games this year (except maybe Unlimited) which I'll continue to do, probably just switch off what days I play which. I am on Romancing SaGa 2 (remaster), which might be the hardest SaGa game I've ever played. After gaining an understanding of the game systems I'm having fun but it'd been nice if they added a few tutorials in the remaster.

My current empress is a pretty nereid named Pherusa and I'm gonna be sad when it's time to jump to the next generation and pick a new one.

I wish the pixels were less janky though. Thanks for the lazy mobile port Square Enix.
