It's time to close out 2021. The last game I played this year was Titan Quest, an action RPG from 2006. Similar in gameplay to Diablo, it is a hack and slash clickfest with lots of combat and lots of loot. Action RPGs aren't a favorite of mine but they can be fun in small doses. As with similar games, just managing your inventory can be a time consuming endeavor. I enjoyed the game's mythological setting. Act 1 took place in ancient Greece. By the end of Act 1, however, I felt I had played it enough. As I expected, the non-stop combat became a chore. I wasn't motivated to put in the hours necessary to grind through acts 2, 3, 4, and 5. For the time I invested, I probably enjoyed it more than iablo II - Pulling the Plug">Diablo II but not as much as Fate.


My Character - a Level 18 Conqueror

It's been a while since I've played a racing game. I own quite a few in the DiRT series so I installed the oldest one I have, DiRT 2. I had some fun with it but didn't play it too much. After several races, I discovered how difficult it is to drive on dirt. It's quite touchy and you do a lot of sliding. I'm sure it would have been better with a steering wheel and pedals but I only had a gamepad to use. I thought the visuals of the game were nice, particularly for a 2009 title. When I get around to playing some of the newer DiRT games, I may try to stick with it longer. Hopefully, my driving won't be so inept and I'll enjoy it more.
