 STAR WARS Jedi Fallen Order is, obviously an action game on the Star Wars universe. You play as a Jedi in training who escaped after most Jedi have been eliminated, and the remainder is being hunted. Graphics are excellent, but it is heavy in exposition, and sometimes paths are not very obvious.  Lots of clever stuff, though, including nice enough combat mechanics, and some interesting movement stuff. I probably wouldn't have gotten it, but it was included in EA Play, and I really liked many of the (now very old) Star Wars Jedi games. As predictable, the control schemes seemed to be greatly simplified, as the others were made to be used with mouse/keyboard. I do really hate that they sometimes lock the camera, while still allowing you to move. Overall, I like it so far, I guess I will see how it goes.

 Destroy all Humans! is a cute action game with two different components - in part of the levels, you are an alien with several powers - such as telekinesis, mind reading, mind control, as well as weapons and a cloaking device. On the other part you drive your flying saucer around, creating havoc. It has a whole lot of story (which I really wish I could fast forward through), and a very comical tone. It is supposed to be a remake of an older game, but I don't recall playing it, so I have no opinion on that. Graphics are pretty good, and the gameplay is fun so far. Overall, pretty good fun for the price.

 Merge Tactics is an Android strategy game. It is freemium, with a strong pay-to-win component. Graphics are pretty nice (music is very, very repetitive), and I like the start gameplay. You face enemies coming down on a grid, and you fight them with a large possible range of blocks, which can be merged (when identical) to form stronger blocks. Some are just melee, some have ranged attacks, and some are support - they can heal, provide money or boost stats for the other blocks.  Each block type has a range (sometimes quite irregular), and you only get to choose 4 blocks per game.  You also have a commander, and you lose when he is defeated. There are many possible upgrades, including the blocks, commanders, buying commanders, as well as buildings, such as a mine, tax office, castle, etc. As usual with heavy freemium games, the first upgrades are very cheap, but soon it will be hard to get these by just playing. Merge Tactics goes the extra mile and there is a lot of stuff ...

 I just finished reading The Testaments, by Margaret Atwood - the sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. It covers narratives by 3 women, which later come together, with big consequences. It starts really slow, but the end is nice.  Overall, well worth reading, specially if you liked The Handmaid's Tale.

GOG Galaxy doesn't allow me to change install folders. Clicking on browse and choosing the folder does nothing. A search for a solution turned up the following post: https://www.gog.com/forum/general_beta_gog_galaxy_2.0/cant_change_install_folder Just edit this file as administrator: %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\config.json  and change libraryPath to what you want. To open a file as administrator, you can type notepad, right-click, choose Run as Administrator and then edit the file. Then close and restart GOG Galaxy.

 Creeper World 4 is a Tower Defense (TD) game, in which you have to destroy a multiplying liquid before it destroys you (basically). When I saw there was a new version, I knew I was going to get it. I really like Creeper World 3 (74h played), and this one is very similar, so far. The only real difference is that this time it is 3D. I thought it might ruin everything, but it works pretty well.  I'd like the zoom to not rotate the view, though. Fairly fun so far, but I imagine it'd be harder for people not used on how things work in the series - the tutorial is a bit weak. As usual, there is plenty of variety in the levels. Also, there are plenty of user made levels, which can include completely new units. Overall, strongly recommended for TD fans.

 Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is a new version of the old Command&Conquer and Red Alert games with improved visuals. Visuals aren't that improved, and of course the control schemes still work like they did in the 90s. If you were a fan of the games, you might enjoy this for nostalgia's sake, but I doubt it work otherwise.

 Circle Empires is a RTS game, with graphics that would be minimal in the 90s. It has an interesting minimalist concept - land is divided into circles, which someone has control of - you, enemies, monsters or bandits, but I really don't like the UI and the instant build thing seems silly - not to mention the lack of smarts of the units. There is an appropriate amount of unlocks available. I guess it is ok for the minimal price, but it feels more like a phone game.

 Ready Player Two is the sequel to Ready Player One - which deals in VR, dystopia and 80s references.  This one is no different. It does extend the ideas in very nice ways, and has plenty of satisfying retro action, as well as new tech. The ending is nice, but reminds me very much of The Turing Exception  (which was also very good). Very much recommended for fans of the first book. PS: I was a bit bothered that they managed to get the 1989 Batman movie coming out in 1990, though...

 Kingdom Rush Vengeance is a tower defense game. It relies heavily on use of a hero and powers. Levels are extremely slow, with no way to speed them up. Graphics are great, with many details and levels that have non-linear paths that have enemies popping up from different places. There are many upgrades - for towers, powers and heroes, and many unlockable powers and heroes. Unfortunately, most of this seem to lead to paid content (although I think everything is unlockable by hard work, too). At least there are plenty of tactical options. Sound is pretty bad - music is super soft (and can't be adjusted), and characters talk constantly, in very annoying clips that keep repeating. I'd just turn the sound off, but then I'd miss some warnings. Overall, pretty good for the pretty low price.
