“The dismembered body jumps out at me…”
Achievements Earned In:
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
- Skeljump
This week was pretty much all about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and I managed to get the most worrisome bit of the completion out of the way. I had the final visits to Prague, the Alps, and then a trip to the UK left, but that was all pretty easy. Overall, I just had to take my time and it was zero issue to clear rooms of bad guys without causing an alarm. I sure love some stealth! And, even though I had to angst through the entire credits, the achievements I needed finally popped. This meant it was time for the most fun part: Permadeath mode! I know, that’s overall stressful, but now I get to play without worrying about collectibles, alarms, or killing people. Though, since I found it so fun to do I still passed most of the hostile encounters with the “Ghost” bonus, so I leveled up fairly quickly as I made it through most of the story by the end of the week. I’m just entering the GARM Facility in the Alps before the final sections of the game and I’ve yet to get into a firefight or anything. And then it’s on to the Breach mode, which I’ve heard is similar to the VR Missions of the Metal Gear series. That’s… not encouraging. We shall see soon!

Not sure if the endless rain or the authoritarian presence are worse here…
Not much to say about Skeljump. I literally booted it up to get an achievement on Friday before plans. It took about a minute to boot up the game, load and complete the first level, and get an unlock. This is supposed to be incredibly short/easy, so it won’t take long overall.
