Every single last thing.

The game I was playing.  I liked it well enough I tried one of the three dlc's.  It was good, no added political tomfoolery, so I got the others.  There is a lot to do in the game, and it can be complicated to figure out what to do, where to go, how to get there.  Lots of puzzles, too.

The whole game is a sort of puzzle, maze.  With actual puzzles and mazes to figure out, on the smaller scale.  Once it worked correctly, it was a good game.  The last bits were hidden, and shouldn't have been.  I had to look them up, manually comparing an online map with my map.  Again, these last three things should have shown up on the map, but didn't.  And one of the last things was on the map, but was hidden in the background.

That was a lot of time spent on this game.  Even knowing what to do, mostly, I was fifty hours into a new game before I decided to just finish the first game and call it good.  I thought I would be able to run it.  But it just isn't that kind of game.  I suppose, if you knew some short cuts, did some hacking maybe, and such, you could somehow cut the game by a lot.  I... just don't play that way.  I'm a completionist, not a speedster.

Oh, and it wasn't just the platinum trophy.  I got that a long, long, time ago.  No, I... found every item, every... wait... there might be a few missing recipes?  Ugh.  I'll check into that.  But most things, anyway.  There was a lot of game left, after the platinum.  I got the platinum incidentally.  Hadn't even started looking into that.  The only thing I had to do specifically for that was opening timed boxes, which you have to go from a rest spot to the box, and open it, on a tight clock.  Some had to be, sort of, cheated.  The way opened with things only available in later/end game.  Or you simply couldn't make it in time.  Didn't like that, seemed cheese.  But, by the time I was doing it, I had the tools.  Still... annoying.

Not sure what to do now.  Stop gaming for a while.  Nothing to play out there, that I have seen, in a long time.  This, while on computers and consoles, was hidden.  I found it on my phone.  But the phone play was so horrible that I started looking at other ways to play it.  I can't believe it was on ps5.  I look for these types of games.  It never did show up, until I looked for it by name.

No politics in it.  Sony won't put it out there.  Makes me wonder how many good games they hide because they aren't politically corrupted.  They don't want you playing games for fun.  They are owned by the US, and the US is broken.

Still, some time off would be good.  Getting back to working on the house?  Or such.  Later.  Or good night.
