I'm sorry to hear about the death in your family.

Thanks. It wasn't anyone super close, but still.

I know what you mean, even when it's not someone in your immediate family it can have a ripple effect that does reach you in some capacity. My great aunt died last year and although I barely saw her it was difficult to watch her sister (my nanna) process it, and in turn watch her son (my dad) deal with the grief of his mother.

Oh ok. 10-12 hours is a good length for the game, but if even that starts feeling long that isn't very good.

I am still interested in the game, so will try to get it on sale.

100% get it on sale, that’s when I got it. It feels like you’re in a Tim Burton world.

I finished Portal 2 co-op mode a fair while ago (and the bonus levels that I honestly could have missed entirely, because it's not really indicated that they exist) and started the single-player mode. It's fine, and I'm interested to find out the details (although it's hinted at enough that I think I can guess), but I actually feel the single-player mode is a bit too long. You're moving through the levels, but I none of them have been that challenging and in the later game (assuming I'm near the end), a lot are just too straightforward. Possibly I was spoiled by the co-op mode and I would have liked the single-player mode more if I'd done it first.

Some of those co-op bonus levels are brutal too. I played through them with my kid last year and it was great.

Sadly the single player campaign has some bad glitches on the switch that can prevent progression if you get unlucky.

Tim Burton reminds me, what are you thoughts on The Midnight Walk? Visuals look too weird for me, but that's another game with similar visuals.

Visually it looks great, but leans into the horror too much for me. When I was younger I was into a lot of the Resident Evil games, but I’ve since moved away from playing that kind of stuff.

Heh same here. Which is why I mentioned visuals look too weird. Same with Resident Evil etc. Played many horror games back then, including all RE upto 5, but then I realised I don't have to play a game just because it's famous. I don't like horror, so don't have to play those.
