Apparently in the new Tomb Raider Remastered Trilogy if you leave the butler in the freezer for too long he’ll actually ice over! Also there’s a Photo Mode!
Lara’s Breakdancing Skillz
I’ll have to take a more careful look at my surroundings, just to get any good photo opportunities stored away. Definitely puts a new spin on an old game!
That Mummy Is Sus
Made it out of Qualopec’s Tomb with the first part of the Scion before calling it an evening. I’m thinking tomorrow night I’ll pick some form of Metroidvania to pad out what remains of my evening.
Got my weekly dose of Spyro out of the way! I spent a good few hours getting through the Summer Forest World.
The difficulty curve has really ramped up compared to last week’s excursion. I had to redo one of the speedway maps more times than I care to remember, and then there was my adventures in the mine cart of DOOM.
I’m pretty sure I spent almost an hour trying to get it right, but eventually I prevailed and collected all of the METAL GEARS.
Once again it was a nice escape for the evening! I gained a few achievements, and moved the plot along enough now that I’ll move onto something else tomorrow night.
Yesterday it was Brutal Legend, and today I switched over to Grim Fandango Remastered! With actual progress! Made it out of the city and to the edge of the petrified forest.
I also nabbed several achievements!Now that I’m onto a whole other chapter I’ll definitely have to return to this universe sooner rather than later. I’ll also need to do a replay of this sometime in the future… I missed a couple achievements in the beginning. Oh well… that’s one way to achieve replay value.
Once upon a time, I started a game called Legend of Kay Anniversary – and like many other games before and after it, I never got around to finishing it. Today was the day that changed, and it was all thanks to some hot weather and a Steam Deck. It isn’t Verified for the Steam Deck, in fact at the time of writing this it is currently listed as unsupported. But I can confirm that it runs like native via Proton, and it was playable on battery for about 4 hours. It’s perfect on the SD Card!
Legend of Kay Anniversary is a remaster of an old Playstation 2 game about a young cat boy named Kay, who lives in a village that is slowly being taken over by Rats and Gorillas. If you ever go to play this, – you have to keep in mind that this is a game from 2005. It’s the combat is going to be clunky, and the voice acting has no qualms about going from corny to terrible. Once you get past that, it actually has a nice charm to it.
I’m three chapters in so far, and gained several achievements by the time evening fell. So far I’m satisfied with my progress. I’m sure I’ll be back to helping some Wabbits next time I pop in to play!
This section has been a bit buggy (no pun intended, this game has a fair share of bugs). I can make it past this point, but sometimes the enemies don’t always do what they’re scripted to do, like explode. There should be an explosion here…
If I don’t get through this area, at least I have some entertaining footage to go through later.
I finally made my way past the Meat Packing District in BloodRayne 2! Made my way past the boss battle, and now I’m a couple levels farther than before! It’s been a rainy day, cosy vibe, ass stabbing kind of day with plenty of chamomile to get me through all the destruction. I got an achievement for committing 50 carnage kills, apparently that’s a rare achievement? I get the feeling not many people have played it, at least post achievement update.
I’ve read more exciting news today! First, for some odd reason the newly remastered Crash Bandicoot will be coming out to PC July 10th.
Funny timing, as I’ve been contemplating getting out my Crash Bandicoot CD’s to play in an emulator (even though I could use my PS3 to play them), and comes as a surprise to me as that has always been a Playstation Exclusive. Of course I’m not going to complain, I’m just hoping it’ll be a good port. This was probably one of my favorite platforms when I was growing up. In fact this and Tomb Raider were probably my most played games during that particular period. It would be funny if that also got a remaster… oh wait.

Tomb Raider 1 looks the most impressive to me. Tomb Raider 2 not so much.

Although I’ve had issues running it and Tomb Raider 3 on my newer hardware, so at least there’s a chance of me being able to play them again and maybe even stream them., which I already had planned for Tomb Raider 1 after I’ve patched it recently to run natively in Windows. Either way, between these and the soon to be released remasters of Devil May Cry I’m pretty stoked.
Looks like I’ll be looking forward to more than just a shiny new Skyrim in the future, the Bioshock series is getting a polish for the current gen consoles, which means a free upgrade on PC.
if you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, and/or Minerva’s Den on Steam, you will be able to upgrade to the remastered version of the respective title(s) for free after release. It’s a circus of values!
Although Infinite will not be remastered since it already meets current PC requirements… I was kinda hoping the fruit would be less… flat.
