I started playing Diablo 4 recently, since it's on Gamepass. I never played Diablo really, only Diablo 3 for like maybe 10 or 20 hours with a friend, which was fun.

I'm like level 22 or something now and chose a sorcerer. Am I missing something or is this game both boring and braindead? I don't mean to be argumentative, I wanted to like this, but it's just soooo dull? The world offers nothing of interest, stuff you find on the map (chests, trees) is mostly worthless. So you basically only go from objective to objective within the main story. The story by the way being absolute ass, so obviously you wanna skip that. All you're left with is the "gameplay", which is like one inch away from being one of these auto afk type games for mobile. It doesn't matter in what way, form or order I use what skill. I could roll my head on my keyboard and win. I pretty much can just spawn a hydra and win.

like I understand this is very early game, but I genuienly don't see how people find this engaging. It's a chore.

If so many people can enjoy Vampire Survivors I am sure they can enjoy Diablo IV as well. I had some fun with 2 and 3 but dropped off when my interest waned. I will probably return to them when I am in the mood for dungeon crawling.

Sonic Generations is a lot of fun. And I actually have not enjoyed Sonic that much since the OG games when I was young, but I like this one. I appreciate the hub style format. Any other Sonic games have this format?

Great game. Still working through the 360 version. I wonder if Sonic Unleashed had a similar format since it uses the same game engine.

I usually prefer platformers that are slower paced and more platform-y. Sonic almost entirely relies on speed, but this has a little more of that so I do like it. I still don't think Sonic games are elite tier in this genre anymore though.

I stopped playing Still Wakes the Deep. I know a lot of people like it, but I'm sorry, I just can't get into walking simulators. I plan to play the new Life is Strange soon, and at least those games are much heavier on story and dialogue options. In Still Wakes you don't do anything other than walk and interact with a few things. It's just so boring to me. Maybe someone can sell me on going back to it, but right now I'm shelving it indefinitely.

If the narrative isn't capturing you, I'd walk away. It is a really short game though.
