I gave Necesse a shot, played in coop with 2 friends, but I wasn't hooked. The pace is a bit too crazy/intense for me.

/me love my P200MMX@225 Mhz + Voodoo Banshee + SB32 PnP + Sound Canvas SC-55ST = unlimited joy !

Tried playing Control this weekend, but I just couldn't get into it. I bought it a while back on one of those "all time high discounts" that GOG occasionally sends out via newsletter, mostly because I was interested in the graphics. And those do look great, especially when you set everything (including RT) to Ultra. But story wise, it just felt too weird for me. I'm clearly not the target audience for this, but I get that people who liked X-Files and similar shows enjoy it a fair bit. The gameplay didn't exactly thrill me either, so I shelved it for now.

Moved on to Kingdom Come: Deliverance based on various recommendations on this forum and elsewhere. This game does look very appealing to me, but there's one big issue that prevents me from enjoying it properly. Motion sickness. For example, every time the protagonist picks up an item (e.g. an apple from the table) he leans in, using the most unnatural head bob animation that I've seen to date. Only the Thief (2014) reboot comes close to this, and I barely managed to play through that. There's also an excessive amount of head bob while walking, running or even just standing still. And when you sit down at a table, the whole goddamn room spins around you. Utterly terrible design.

I tried maxing out the FOV slider and limiting the FPS to 30, since that sometimes helped me in the past. Not sure if it worked here though, and googling the issue revealed that a lot of people have motion sickness problems with this game. There are apparently some mods that can partially address this, so I might try one of those. It's a shame, because the game seems really interesting.
