General video game discussion

Speaking of old games like MMO2 - what ever happened to the Commander Keen series? Does anyone even remember that? I am not really sure I'd want to play Jump & Run games, but that's a 'property' that hasn't been used in forever.

I remember that series. Now that you mention it I agree it's overdue for a new game.

I am trying to figure out which CRPG from my backlog to tackle. The nominees are:
Baldurs Gate 3 (I have about 20 hours in this from a year ago and would restart with an intent to complete it)
Expedition 33 (I know, this is more of a JRPG)
Dininity OS 2 (I have like 8 hours in this from forever ago and would start totally fresh)
Drova (I started this; it felt hard)
Mirthwood (I don't even know when I bought this)
Rogue Trader (it looks good but complicated)
Solasta (I boiunced off early but mostly because of how it looks)
Temple of Elemental Evil (nostalgia ho!)
Wildermyth (I wanted this game for the generational stuff)
Wizardry 1 remake (because I hate myself?)

So, do you have any thoughts on any of those?

Unless the reason Arcanum isn't on this list because you've already beaten it, I'd toss Arcanum on the pile.

Nobody should ever hate themselves so much that they consider playing a Wizardry game, though. Have you considered, as an alternative, therapy?

I remember the name but I can’t remember what the games were like.

Arcanum was a fave of mine back in the day. I do remember getting frustrated with item breakage and all the random encounters on long journeys. I used a cheat tool to stop the former and gave all my characters Teleport to avoid the latter!
