Making progress in The Hand of Fate, managed to get thru the Drunken Dragon and taking a break before the Octopus PUzzle shell game.
nice solid classical Adventure gaming. Nothing better to clear the air and relax the spirits.

I just finished Between Horizons in the context of a community playthrough.
Unfortunately I didn't have as much time for the game as I would have wanted, since I am working on a personal project that grabs most of my focus. But it was nice to play an adventure again, although this won't become one of my favorites. The setting & story idea and art style were interesting.

I’m going back and playing the Police Quest games. I’ll probably try out Crimson Desert (not an adventure) soon.

Finished Life is Strange: Reunion.
Took about 10 hours
If you played one of these games before then the gameplay loop will be well established. Mostly investigate every scene, talk to people and make choices that influence the story. Find collectibles (photos as max, Sketches as Chloe) and as Max you can use your powers to solve puzzles. In this game Max has her Timey Wimey powers from the OG game back so puzzle solving most revolves around rewinding time with objects can travel with you and dialogue info used to steer the narrative. Pretty safe as gameplay goes, even with all the warning selectors in the menu.
Graphically it won't win awards, and there were glitches and obvious texture load-ins, but it does have some beautiful vistas and sunsets. Voice work and soundtrack are of high quality if you like the soft indie melancholic usual for these games. While it's not the OG Chloe voice it is the same actress who did Before the Storm and True Colors DLC.
This time around a huge fire happens and Max goes back in time to stop it before her friends and a bunch of others die. It's set in the same location as Double Exposure so uses the characters and locations from that game, but retro-fits the ending of DE to bring back Chloe a fan favourite from the OG.
I think they mostly get away with explaining how that happens with the dual ending choice of the 1st game. You have to select 5 relationship statuses at the beginning of the game on where you were with major decisions on the main characters. You do switch between Max and Chloe at times, but the obvious hook of this game is them being back together (as what you can influence during the game) I thought the story line felt like a decent heartfelt nostalgia trip and was well told. For the most part the side characters are servicable, but pushed into the background.
Overall I enjoyed it well enough

I was hoping LIS would evolve a bit. The loop is pretty stale IMO.
