Another month of HumbleChoiciness. And an interesting month too; it's
not just the usual trash!
Specifically:

* Death Stranding Director's Cut https://store.steampowered.com/app/1850570/DEATH_STRANDING_DIRECTORS_CUT/ You're all probably /heard/ about this game, even if you haven't
played it. Take one part Kojima, one part open-world survival, season
a bit with some walking sim and a touch of physics puzzler, and you
get "Death Stranding". Whatever else can be said for it, "Death
Stranding" is a unique game that may not appeal to everyone, but
definitely should be experienced at least once.
* Aliens: Fireteam Elite https://store.steampowered.com/app/1549970/Aliens_Fireteam_Elite/
Here's another recipe: take one part "Left 4 Dead", one part "Aliens: Colonial Marines", sift out the crap, and spice to taste with bits of "Vermintide" and "Alien Breed". Look, it's a solid co-op shooter where
you get to blast acid-blooded xenomorphs; do you really need more
detail? It's perhaps not the best example of the genre, but makes good
use of its license and you can finally play out your fantasies of
being an elite team of space-marines fighting off the xenomorph threat
with a bunch of friends. 'Nuff said?
* Life Is Strange 2: Complete https://store.steampowered.com/app/532210/Life_is_Strange_2/
A follow-up to the critically reviewed adventure series of 2015, this
game doesn't take much chances and doesn't alter the formula too much.
Which is great if you liked the originals; now you get more! But if
you (like me) didn't warm up to the first series, "LIS2" isn't going
to convert you. Still, that's more because I just couldn't get into
the angsty story and characters rather than any unhappiness with the gameplay. This game is made for a specific audience and I just don't
happen to be in that demographic; it's a good game if you like this
sort of thing.

A retro-graphic twin-stick shooter. Might be fun. Not really gonna go
outta my way to find out, though.
