The story starts off interesting and I do like Sam Witwer as Deacon. He does a great job with the voice acting for him. The combat is fun and brings some intense fights. Traveling in the open world of Oregon is cool and there's some very pretty vistas while riding on the motorcycle. Sometimes the inventory controls feel very clunky, but I made it work. The accessibility isn't bad and I appreciated that they included that. Some of the side missions felt a bit tedious and I wish I could have learned more about certain characters in the different camps. There are two chapters that I feel could have been cut from the game because they didn't really offer a lot to the main story. I did have fun playing the game and it's not bad, but it definitely could have been better in places. you can read the full Mothergamer review here: http://mg28-mothergamer.blogspot.com/2021/08/mothergamer-plays-days-gone.html

Very much a film of two halves, this starts with an intriguing question: the volcano on the Dinosaur's island is about to blow, so what do you do?

Do you save the 'de-extinct' Dinosaurs (who are only 'alive' because of man's intervention, or is this nature's way of course-correcting (as Jeff Goldblum's Dr Ian Malcolm puts it).

With the government falling in with Dr Malcolm's Point of view, (Bryce Dallas Howard's) Dr Claire Dearing (now a Dinosaur's Rights activist, following the events of Jurassic World) and (Chris Pratt's) Dinosaur behaviorologist Owen Grady find themselves back on the island to rescue as many of the Dinosaurs as they can.

And that's the first half of the movie.

The second half then turns into - effectively - a haunted house story as (of course) the Dinosaurs break out of containment in the Lockwood estate for story reasons (which I'm not going into here), before the film ends with the (metaphorical) gates to the Park now wide open.

Avoiding the Abyss ( The Abyss trilogy 1)
By A.C. Ward
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Aubrey never realized there was a better life beyond being the rebel leader’s disappointing teenage daughter. But when she’s abducted by the government and taught the demonic truth behind the rebellion at their official academy, she is torn between two worlds.

Wielding a power she didn’t know she had, Aubrey must decide who she can trust. The rebels want her to open a dark dimension that will destroy the government once and for all. It is the opportunity to earn the approval she’s always yearned for. But if she goes through with it, Aubrey will lose the person she’s beginning to love.

Can Aubrey master her power in time to prevent the end of the world?

This was a decent read with a very different approach to heaven and hell and all it’s demons. Are the gifted teenagers really gifted?? I did enjoy it.
