I played The Walking Dead Season 1. It was a coincidence that I chose this game, but it's oddly fitting to play a post-apocalyptic game in these days of coronavirus troubles and fears. Just like Steven Soderbergh's movie Contagion is doing great on iTunes right now.
Anyway, I liked it, and I also played the 400 Days DLC, a series of amusing vignettes. But what I heard is that the later seasons of Walking Dead don't reach the standard set by the first season. My question: is season 2 worth my time and money or is the drop in quality too severe for it to be worth my while?

Currently Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Quake 3 Arena and Master of Magic. Have a Vive rig. Want to play Alyx very much.

Maybe it's not as good as S1, but I still liked S2. Never played the rest of them tho.

There's no maybe about it. It's not as good as S1 simply because it loses the emotional coherence S1's father-daughter relationship built, then yanks Clem along its plotlines like a marionette. I wasn't impressed with the writing, but S1 is clearly a high bar, so keeping that in mind S2 is just about okay. S3 is a pretty tedious retread.

I was going to play some shorter games, but on PC I'm mostly juggling Red Dead Redemption 2 and Black Mesa right now. The situation being what it is, I don't feel like a smaller, quieter game.

Started with Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena yesterday, with intention to play it through. Already played through Escape from Butcher Bay 3 times now, I think (one my all-time favs that game), but, never played through Dark Athena until now.

I'm set on getting all the boxes in Crash Bandicoot. Between it, Fire Emblem, and a shit ton of movies, I should be occupied for at least a month.
Actually, I might need to take more time off. This whole sitting around the house thing is actually kinda nice.

Fellow GenGamers - Has anyone played both Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn? Just wondering which is the better game, if you had to pick only one to play without ever playing the other. I'm guessing some of the beef with FCND is that is just repeats a lot of the same world, and I want to discard that type of criticism in this particular case. Both are on sale right now, and I'm itching to try the better one with my newly installed gpu.

Skipped 5 myself, but New Dawn was a chore from start to ridiculous finish.

Shovel Knight is great. They cheat just enough so that it matches your nostalgia goggles better, but still make it feel like the game might have been possible on the NES. Even if the Dark Souls checkpoint system and being able to destroy your checkpoints for higher stakes doesn't really feel like anything from the NES era, the iconography and the sounds feel authentic enough for your mind to be able to ignore that.
