I really enjoyed Origins. It embraced the "detective" aspect a lot better, IMO. Also enjoyed the, well, origins of what essentially became Batman and Joker's inevitable "love story". Troy Baker played him really well.
Also, it's pretty funny hearing Sonic voice Batman. I mean, I know he does a ton of other voices, but the contrast is always hilarious to me.
Anyway, onto me...
After taking a weeklong break from video games, I started playing something on my wishlist that finally went on sale again: Unheard - Voices of Crime. Detective game where you solve the cases by listening to conversations and identifying people by their voices/dialogue. The visuals are basically just floor plans and moving from room to room from a top down perspective in order to hear whoever's speaking in that room.
All the recordings are binaural as well, so wherever you move your "character", the volume and location of the voices change. It's pretty interesting and not too long.
Today, I began Dungeons of Hinterberg. At first, super fun. Then got a bit bored because stuff felt samey. Then got interested again. I expect this pattern is going to continue. Despite being a dungeon crawler, it's a pretty chill game.
Basically, think Breath of the Wild-type shrines mixed with Persona-style social sim gameplay. You do dungeons (or not, you don't have to if you don't want to) in the day, explore and spend time with people in the city at night.
Ah see for me all I can hear is Chris Redfield when Batman talks haha. He does an ok job but he's no Kevin Conroy unfortunately. Totally agree on the detective stuff! I love the random case files that come up that aren't some crazy supervillain plot. Just random crimes done by random people. Good fun
