Fiction

Redwall by Brian Jacques
Book One, Chapters 11–20

Reached the end of 'Book One' (of three). Expected it to mark a break or change in the story for that reason, but no, it's in the middle of a battle! That feels like it should be the climax, even though there's 70% of the book to go. Interesting structural choice...

Esoteric Ebb isn't just the best Disco since Disco, it's the closest anyone's come to the magic of tabletop D&D in a videogame
by Ted Litchfield (from PC Gamer)

I was very interested in Esoteric Ebb before I read this review, but now I'm positively excited for it. Might even buy it right away.

...but will I play it right away? I mean, I'd have to cut into Skyrim (gasp!) And as I've not played the likes of Disco Elysium or Baldur's Gate 3, but do own both and very much want to play them, should this really be jumping ahead? There's always the chance it'll get patches and improvements down the line, as so many games do nowadays. Maybe I should just play the literally hundreds of games already in my backlog and wait a year or two.

...but it sounds so fun!
