it's still baffling to me that we somehow went from the 2014 gareth edwards flick that somberly treats godzilla as this smoke-shrouded mythological titan to the loving MonsterVerse where godzilla is casting a fire enchant on king kong's level 99 scrap axe to defeat mechagodzilla

That's just how Godzilla goes. Even the original movies only tried to be serious twice before getting extremely silly with it in King Kong vs Godzilla.

There's a Ducati promo in PUBG atm, I think the only guaranteed way to get it is to spend a stupid amount of money on it.

You can get it as a bonus drop in the crates you buy, but the chance of getting it is low.

It may come up in a new crafters pass for like $10, but they've obfuscated if that's going to happen and it feels super predatory

They all rule for different reasons.

All the different Godzilla's over the years basically start off serious and end in boxing matches.
The Showa era films in particular start off with the original 1954 film and end with a series of 5 or so back-to-back films that basically turn him into a street fighter.

Godzilla contains multitudes. If you want a serious modern Godzilla film, Godzilla Minus One is right there and fantastic.

I haven't seen Godzilla x Kong yet but someone described it to me as being essentially a kaiju pro wrestling match and hell, I'm down for that.

Botany Manor kicks rear end. Perfect puzzle game length

I liked the little environmental storytelling touches. I think my favourite being seeing the photo of Arabella on the meadow research trip, then finding the letter about the trip documenting the Professor of the group misidentifying a flower, Arabella pointing out that it may actually be a new species and his response being “haha I was just testing you”, and then later the newspaper where he takes credit for the discovery of a new species.

I do wish the puzzles had been a little bit more complex, but I appreciate that solutions were always pretty clear and once I understood what I needed to do it was always easy to execute. Not being able to actually view clues from the notebook did lead me to some obnoxious backtracking to double check pieces of information though - never enough to sour me on the game but it did feel like an odd omission.

Not a GOTY candidate for me or anything but a very pleasant way to have spent an evening.

If the game had been longer, the backtracking would have been irritating, but its just the right length and each puzzle focused enough that you dont do thaaaat much backtracking. I think its very intentional though, to make sure that you remember the spaces and layout of the house and gardens as you crisscross them to recheck your notes now that you know the next piece of info you need.

My "favorite" note is either the "women can't come to university" rejection letter in the box marked kindling or the person giving an earnest suggestion to publish the book under her uncles name so it gets published and then finding out what happens to your book at the end.
