Clive Barker's Undying is as I remember it. Really fun horror FPS with an excellent spooky-old-house tone up until the last chapter which is... bad.

That last chapter has some enemies that are fun to fight but it feels like a different game. Doesn't help that the final boss is the lowest point of the whole thing.

Keisinger's chapter with the extended sequence in Oneiros is the best part of the game IMO.

I'm starting a game of Clive Barker's Undying (PC, 2001) tonight over at twitch.tv/andreaen. Undying is a story-driven first-person shooter horror game set in a spooky mansion. (I'm tired of waiting for October).

I'm glad I took the time to replay Chrono Cross recently. Really enjoyed it.

I had remembered the game as an annoying slog from the point of the dragon fights onward but that wasn't the case at all, it felt pretty smooth and easy this time.

I still like the battle system, the ties to Trigger, all the visual artwork & music, the fun characters (even if they're mostly underdeveloped). Coming to it now after having not played it in ~15 years I really appreciated how different or experimental it was/is compared to Trigger.

Also, very happy that my Cross discs still work.

I knew this in my 20s when I was bicycling a lot, forgot to drink enough water for my entire 30s, and now here I am.
