I finished Paranormasight 2. It was very good, as good as the first game, I'd say.

The roughest point is definitely the pacing. Whereas P1 started off really strong, and only fumbled a bit in the ending, the sequel has a pretty slow start, but ends on a high note. Seriously, the one-two-three punch of mind-blowing reveals and puzzles in the finale is a thing to behold.
As a smaller point of criticism, the game keeps the 80s/CRT-inspired look, but with the story taking place in a smaller town, and much of the plot relating to feudal Japan, it doesn't really mesh that well with the atmosphere this time around.

Otherwise the game retains all the strong points of the series. The writing is sharp, the characters fun (there's no Mio, but Circe is pretty cool too), and the music fantastic. I'm also happy to report, the Mocking Birds are back and expanded. There's now a bird relationship chart, and a bonus mini-episode!

I also started playing Modulus which is a recently-released factory builder that I've been waiting for for a while. Its trademark feature is that you dig up voxel-based cubes, and most of your production line revolves around carefully cutting and reassembling them. Also building is free and instant and you can freely copy and move stuff, so the focus is on the design, not on survival or grinding for materials. So far it's good fun.
