    Just finished Gunpoint - it’s a fairly nifty puzzler about a somewhat goofy private eye with cybernetic frog pants and ability to rewire building electronics with his mind. The soundtrack is odd mix of noir-jazzy electronica, and it slaps.

    And right after I felt nostalgic, so I started scummvm and booted up Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist. Did not remember laborious the start of the game is with what is essentially copy protection - mixing medicines to order. Beyond the copy protection shenanigans, the game is a Sierra-game through and through: vga visuals are neat, voice acting is goofy but well made, instant deaths… Though the game isn’t as malicious as some early Sierra games.

    I’m still enjoying Mass Effect Andromeda. The combat is a bit too action-oriented - I miss the tactics and strategy of other RPGs. But it’s not so bad that it detracts from the game’s enjoyment.

    I’ve also (re)started Baldur’s Gate 1 (enhanced edition). I’m not far in yet but I can already tell it’s going to be hard picking only 5 companions. They’re all so interesting.
