      They've been promising an engine update since last year, and with the dlc coming soon as well, I'll just wait a bit longer to play this title.

    * Kraven Manor
      Glad this is actually worth playing!

    * Crysis 3 Remastered
      Unlike most, I enjoyed Crysis2 and still want to play this.

    I started up Avernum 3: Ruined World

    - I think this is my favorite. The heroes are in "Unspecified
    Services," basically the closest you can get to a spy outfit in the
    Avernum world. It also has the potential to be one of the biggest too,
    because it incorporates both the underworld and the continent of
    Valorim, on the surface of the planet.

    &

    Wizardry 8 recently.

    - Started from scratch. I can't be fscked to make progress in Wizardry
    7. It's just battle after battle grind grind grind. I think I'm going to
    be okay. Like I said, Wiz 8 puts in some pretty good Quality of Life improvements, such as the ability to always find a battle if you go
    looking. Also, the difficulty of the monsters keeps up with the level of
    your dudes and gals for the most part. One of the benefits of Wiz 8, a
    total Quality of Life improvement is that they have completely
    eliminated the need for re-rolling characters to get high stats, and all starting characters have the same potential. It also makes classes
    almost unattainable in Wiz 6 or Wiz 7 available such as the Lord.

    Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a
    sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
    The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
    whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
    Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
