The Wolf Among Us. I had some spare time over the weekend and it apparently has an 8'ish hour completion time so I decided to give it a go on my PS Vita (it is also another game to justify my Vita purchase).

It's an interesting game. I am normally not into detective style games but it doesn't feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack like other detective games and I don't feel the constant need to reload my save. The game lags horribly on the Vita though which really throws off the flow during quicktime events.

Tiny Tina's Wonderland's, got it through humble choice a while back and never played it. Enjoying so far, don't think I'm that far through but its a borderlands game so tha's neat, love that series.

Who's been playing Palworld?

I've been on a private palworld server with about 10-14 people since launch. It's been pretty fun so far and I love the mechanics but there's a lot of fine tuning to do. You can climb most vertical surfaces, there are a whole lot of pal abilities that you unlock with crafted gear like electric hedgehog grenades and ice penguin rockets. Storyline is pretty short, you can usually complete it by level 13/50+. I'm interested to see what other story it will have or if people will mod their own in. Definitely worth the early access in my opinion.

Climbing is only necessary until you get a flyer you can saddle, which should be midteens level-wise. Then terrain is no longer an issue, just the limited hot/cold areas.

My wife is playing Palworld and seems to be really enjoying it. It's not my thing though (not a fan of MP in general).
