patch notes 7/10/25

-dune: awakening //the closer this got to launch the more certain i was that it was not going to be a game for me. or maybe just that this game obviously wasn't finished and wouldn't be worth $50 to me? cause let's be honest if it showed up in my library i would have played it for 30 hours easily. unfortunately i was looking at this game through the lens of an mmo pvp gamer, and those tags never came into focus.

+lego party! //just when i decide nintendo isn't for me, smg studio comes along and says they've got a replacement for one of my favorite series, mario party. i love a competitive mini action boardgamelike and i've only really had pummel party as a viable option.

-pummel party//speak of the devil. great game. this is mostly just a hopeful move as i'm imagining lego party will overtake this one until the next franchise bash comes along.

+outer wilds & +nier: automata //it's downright disrespectful that i just bought these two

+reaper actual //it's got some planetside 2 devs so i just can't help but be interested.

+shadow tactics //another game that i've known for a long time that i would enjoy if i just sat down and played it. only a couple levels in but i will finish it eventually. the controls are pretty hardcore and take awhile to get used to each time i return to the game. i'm looking forward to moving on to other games in the genre like desperados 3, commandos: origins, and shadow gambit.

+return to reckoning //a warhammer online private server. a really good classic pvp mmo with some amount of regular players.
