It did receive some performance patches in Oct or Nov. Not sure if it will get more though.

Finished Arkham Asylum. Very middling game. Graphics were alright after adding Texture pack + HDR and lightening change via reshade ( + needed to run it in DX11 via a tool). Looks good even.
But gameplay isn't very good today since i have seen much better versions, and boss fights are terrible - repetitive scripted garbage. Atleast i dont care for such boss fights, maybe others do.
Story/Writing isn't very good either, more like a cartoon for children with some decent funny bits here and there. Thankfully this wasn't a long game.
I like Batman, generally media around batman is much better written than other comic book stuff. But not this.
Not the worst game, but its not that good today, even though back then it did something new.
Next probably Arkham city which is supposed to have improved a lot over asylum as per reviews.

Finished Last of us Part 1 recently.
Liked it overall, got a bit tiring for the loop of finding for resources everywhere, but combat was good, liked the stealth element.

I recently decided to play Cryostasis from my backlog. Sadly as technology progressed the game got left behind due to inherent limitations of its time, such as 32bit memory limit. I tried the LAA & 4GB patch, neither worked.
However I still managed to brute force and finish the game. The best way I could describe it as russian Silent Hill. I really had fun playing a gem from my childhood. Plan to play necrovision next, once I'm done with Dragon's Dogma 2.

I half remember playing demo or something many many years ago. I think it had good atmosphere maybe back then, but never got around to playing it.
Fallout New Vegas including all 4 major DLC finally completed.
One of the best RPG. Great dark gritty story. Old game, very buggy but everything is worth it as it is that good.

9 days of almost full day gaming made me finish the main game, Now I am in a dilemma to even start Burning Shores DLC since work will resume now.

For me, finding stuff and not ending up using them was the best part
. Just do stealth the whole game.Plus, there are many conversations that the game has with Ellie that you can only do if you take your time to in those quiet moments.

Finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and took me 17.5 hours. wow why less people talking about this game. Movie level stuff done to this game. Troy baker is legend and perfectly done superb job playing Indy. If you have capable hardware to run this game everyone should try this. No bug found in this game. Ran with DLSS quality mode on 4k. 9/10.
Going to start Stalker 2.

Played Prince of Persia Warrior Within and this game has some of the best sword fighting I've ever seen in any game ever. Also great time travel gameplay mechanics and amazing platforming.
It even has two or three twists that completely ended up changing the meaning of the entire story and multiple endings!

Played Ghost of Tsushima for a while. The game looks beautiful, combat is cool with so many techniques.
Otoh, missions feel like fetch quests mostly and the open world is basically empty with just repeated things. Somehow I am not able to enjoy this game.
Time to probably uninstall.

Completed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (PC).
What a game! What a journey! If movies have to be made into video games then this game has set a new bar to match up to. Fabulously done and full credit to Machine Games. The other movie to game adaptation I have liked recently is RoboCop: Rogue City but this one is at a higher plane.
My favorite two levels in the game were:
Also, Voss has to be one of the most intelligent and devilishly witty antagonists created in a video game till date.
Many moons ago when I was a college kid I picked up a game called Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (released in 1992 but I picked it up sometime after 2002) and played it on my Pentium 3 or 4 rig running it through ScummVM. It was a point & click adventure game by LucasArts and I absolutely loved it back then. I still remember it had some great puzzles to solve and had a very intriguing plot. Video gaming back then was my only escape from the drudgery of studies and part time jobs. Making ends meet. So many years later here I am again praising and in love with a new Indiana Jones title!

My favorite two levels in the game were:
Gizeh for the sheer eye candy and exploration amidst the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
Sukhothai for the puzzles and fantastic side quests. This entire level was so much fun to play-through and explore. Great experience!
