Happy New Year! It’s my 15th report but first report for the year 2020. Hopefully everyone is having a good start to the new year. In my little world all has been just the same. Been replaying Horizon Zero Dawn with the expansion this time. About lvl 20 so almost there to check out the Frozen Wilds. Meanwhile I’ve been enthralled into 7 Days to Die. Yes, it’s still in Alpha (18) and yes still has issues. Nevertheless still enjoy playing it with people. If your not familiar you spawn in an apocalypse world with the bare minimum. You must build a base, get weapons, defenses etc for every 7 days a horde of zombies will hunt you down. It’s a lot of fun with a group of people for it helps to for one person to put skills in for mining, one for engineering etc. I could go on and on but I will spare you the details. If it sounds interesting to you or want to check it out here is the link for it on Steam.
