This Week in Gaming (Week 4)
As we enter the second to last week of January, we have another week packed to the brim full of new releases. The major release of this week allows you to walk around in 2016 km² of a mediaeval fantasy world with five different regions for some MMORPG action. This is followed by some 4X Roman strategy, a trip to Norse mythology hell or pretending to be one of King Arthur's knights. This is followed by a remake of another JPRG from a famous franchise and we end the week with an anime inspired PvP shooter.

Maybe the Gulf Stream is helping out like Europe?

Please take over and post this every weekend and make sure EVERYONE is happy with the games you post.
I can tolerate some cold but nothing like that - The windchill the bike rider had going on had made them question their choice of riding gear/clothing that morning.
I was on my bike too headed in to work but I was well dressed for it at least.
As for the character in the game, it's not a huge deal but it's there.
i'm slowly turning into a grognard or completely jaded(or have been one since forever) because games are becoming less and less appealing to me, i honestly cannot say when was the last time i was excited or hyped over a game(and if i was when i did not get completely burned by it), and it certainly has not been in the last 15~ years..., even with my policy to never touch a game until it's one year after release at the least
It's like... dunno it's all "AAA+++" turd, or early access trash that gets abandoned, or they feature dumb decisions(everything is "roguelite" f you give me my fking savegames you twat dev or "pixel art" or "survival crafter") or they have plainly bad mechanics(tedious micro, deliberate time-wasters -like for example no fast travel-) that are simply dealbreakers for me
