I had run into a bug around one of the early missions in which you need to get rid in other ways of one of the leading inquisitor, but out of this one i was lucky as the game went bug free in all the further missions.

But frankly even if you gave up because you were unlucky to run into some bugs, Dishonored is really worth giving another try as the campaign is really good with the sneaking around and the various powers you'll learn or improve along them that allow to take some different approach to objectives, and its missions are very varied in environment.
And it came with all the DLC, meaning you have another big and good campaign with it(through The Knife of Dunwall + The Brigmore Witches)
Basically it has enough content to keep a player occupied for a long time if you like this kind of gameplay.

They are absolutely worth playing.

Oh yeah, agreed. I'm sure it's got hundreds of hours worth in the first fucking buggy-ass mission alone.

I should definitely keep running into a wall playing some game that doesn't work. Better use of my time than playing a good game instead.

Whatever floats your boat.
Still a fantastic game.

Dishonored is an amazing game, yeah. But such is the way of living -- opinions are a bitch.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

I mean, "I don't want to waste time playing the game because it keeps messing up and wasted a ton of my time" is a very solid opinion.
Like I played the first game, and I liked it a bunch (although I went for a low chaos stealth play where I pretty much didn't kill anyone until like the last mission, only to realize at that point that using all your powers and actually fighting is way more fun then sneaking around hiding for hours and that the whole thing would have been much more enjoyable if I had just played it like a regular game), but if it kept losing me progress over and over I wouldn't just pointlessly try to keep playing it.

This week we have 2 puzzle games.

First is Out of Line, which looks like it's got some platforming and possibly aiming mixed with the puzzles. It's a side-scroller.

Second is The Forest Quartet. It's about the 3 remaining members of your band, and the troubles they've had since you died. You can drag stuff around. It looks like the puzzles are "get things in the right location" types. I didn't see anything timing based in the preview.

This week we've got Model Builder (build model planes, cars, etc.) and Soulstice.

Soulstice sounds like a souls-like, and you appear to be armed with one of the dumber swords from FF7 and are wearing armor that covers your chest and half of one arm (including the hand, but not the most delicate bits). It's also described as a coming-of-age tale of two sisters whose souls/bodies have been fused so you can fight monsters. Obviously, I need to play this game.

This week's game is Godlike Burger. It's one of those flash-style make burgers, sell burgers, upgrade kitchen games that requires Windows 10.

Also, if you don't leave witnesses, you kill your customers for ingredients.

Tried out soulstice and godlike burger. Soulstice isn't a souls-like, despite the name. It's a combo based score keeping fighting game, not a genre I've played a lot of but I think more like devil may cry or the batman games then like darksouls. Seems okay if you like that sorta thing.

I've played games where you run a restaurant and sell the flesh of your customers before, but it's quite a charming idea so I wanted to like godlike burger. On my first try though I found the controls unbearably awkward, in retrospect I suppose you're suppose to use a controller, so I'll try that next time I give it a try. Was left with a little bit of a negative impression from what I have played.

Yeah, I'm actually interested in running Soulstice, because it looks so silly. It's a game; having fun with it is the point. Cool to hear it's not actually a souls-like.

Godburger looks like they tried real hard to make it fake 3d, so I'm not surprised the controls were over-complicated for a game where WASD should be more than enough. Same reason I was joking about it being a flash game that needed the newest DirectX and Windows 10 to handle the graphics engine. Too much effort into things that are not only unnecessary, but make the game worse.

This week we got 2 games.

Eternal Threads is a first-person puzzle game about timelines. Sounds cool, although I'd probably have heard about it if it was as great as I hope it is.

The Evil Within is a Resident-Evil-like game by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami.

Evil Within is definitely worth playing.
