It&#8217;s another Friday, with yet another session of <a href=\"https:\/\/innersloth.itch.io\/among-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Among Us<\/a> (seriously, that game is a blast if you also enjoy social engineering) with my coworkers at the day job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend brings me some time with my review copy of Gray Zone, which is a tactical &amp; stealth game in the same vein as Wasteland and more (but more focused on real-time mechanics, although there is a &#8220;Tactical&#8221; toggle to pause the game to plan stuff out). This is actually the first game I&#8217;ve requested a review copy for, so it&#8217;s going to have a special place in the history of GGN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll be spending some time evaluating the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1207320\/Gray_Zone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">early access version<\/a> this weekend, and will share my thoughts on Monday most likely; a full review will come regardless of how I feel about it once the game leaves early access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I&#8217;ve got the itch for thievery, I&#8217;ll also finally load up <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/the-dark-mod-bringing-back-the-original-thief\/\">The Dark Mod<\/a> and give it a much belated evaluation. I haven&#8217;t fully decided if I&#8217;ve got the energy for that style of game, however; if it is anything like the original Thief, I know that the tension can really get to me (and <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/the-accessibility-of-stealth-sniper-tactical-games\/\">exacerbate my physical pain<\/a>, unlike other stealth-based games).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;m actually evaluating some forum software; I know we&#8217;ve got the <a href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/r\/ghostgamer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ghost Gamer Subreddit<\/a>, but I actually feel like, should this develop into a real community, a dedicated forum might work better (and I want an excuse to play with <a href=\"https:\/\/flarum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flarum<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, that&#8217;s my (long holiday, thanks to Labor Day) weekend, folks.
