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.

OpenMW is a wonderful piece of software.

I've been playing, variously, Starcraft: Brood War, We Love Katamari Reroll, and McPixel 3. The first two games need no introduction.

The third game I saw a talk by the guy about how he programmed it in C instead of using a preexisting game engine and that was enough to interest me. For the $2.00 sale price it was more than easy to convince myself to buy it. I think it's an intriguing game. Not the best ever, but a sort of pleasant surprise. Maybe if WarioWare Inc were a little more like a point and click adventure style game.
