Apple Arcade - Neo Cab (2019) [/] Set a bit in the future Lina is one of the last human Uber drivers, recently arrived in the south-western city of Los Ojos to reconcile with her old girlfriend. As she drives people around town she has conversations with them and your reactions affect your mood (split into three attributes) which in turn can drive the conversation and main story... I played this game for about an hour but it's not a game with a constant saved state so when I kept returning and having to repeat minutes-long conversations and that wasn't fun.

Apple Arcade - Mutazione (2019) [/] A side-view point and click adventure where you play Kai, a young woman visiting her dying grandfather who lives on an island where mutants live peacefully. I also played this for about an hour so really didn't get into the plot. You can talk to lost of characters and the dialogs are conversational but everyone talks in short sentences and you're constantly tapping continue so that's a drag. Seems more like a social interactions story than a do things kill stuff story and that's fine.

Movie - The Transporter Refueled (2015) [/] An attempted reboot of The Transporter franchise with Ed Skrein taking over the role of Frank Martin Jr, for spec ops and now a highly paid package delivery driver where usually lots of people with guns want the package. Frank is hired by four beautiful women who want to do a heist on their former pimp employer who heads a sizable organized crime gang... It's got that European look with stylish locations and clothing but also feels a little stale.
