Pirates is a classic! I remember playing that on the Amiga 500 and was one of my all time favourite games. The music esp was top notch! The remake was great as well (apart from the dancing sections which I found annoying) and was a charming game. Railroads also sucked a lot of my playing time back in the days. Am a huge Railroad Tycoon fan and played them all extensively! Anyone else play Sid Meier's Sim Golf? That was another game that sucked in soo much of my time...Better look that one up now hahaha

I spent a lot of time playing Transport Tycoon back when we got our first ever PC. Loved it. Went back to it years later and found it very dated - not so much the graphics (which I could live with) but more the play mechanic.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

If anyone is still playing cod warzone, tips are to use accurate, high rate of fire weapons as the game’s netcode leave something to be desired. There is a reason the m4 and similar are the top used weapons and its not due to weapon balance.

In my (other) spare time I’ve tried out Albion online thinking it a homage to Runescape. Turns out it’s not, more of a economy & bandit simulator in the vein of EVE. It’s not a bad game, lots of players now with lockdowns around the world. Just seems lacking in objectives/purpose when the gameplay/systems all revolve around grinding resources to then lose in pvp zerg. I’ll leave the mmo cravings alone for a bit till something else comes out.

Tried the Ori series but for some reason they didn’t click with me, unusual because I like the genre eg. Dust, Salt and Sanctuary. Something to do with the save system and progression reverting without clear indicators.

I think I’ll go for the Surge series now for a hit of souls-like. Both 1&2 are available with xbox game pass. Or I’ll give Bloodstained to see if I can get back into platformers/metroidvania.

And I still want to catch up with AC Odyssey too as it was fun during the free trial. Surprisingly I enjoy the overarching ‘sci-fi’ plot while many don’t like the mish-mash of present day and history.

Playing some Anno 1800 again, so easy to lose how much time you've been playing, even when it keeps telling you to take a break.

I played some Surge 2, I can't recall the last time I had more trouble understanding a games control or died so many times in the first intro levels.

I am probably going to have to stop doing side missions in AC:O if I ever want to finish it :)

Just finished the main campaign of The Last of Us Remastered. Playing the DLC next. Probably a bit weird to be playing a game about a plague-hit world during these times but it truly is an excellent game. The last 3rd isn't as strong as the first 2/3rds of the game, which probably takes it away from being an undisputed all time classic. The ending was very predictable and as you progress through the game and manage to gather all the weapons, it got very easy even on the 2nd hardest difficulty (and I am hardly a FPS champ). The minor characters you run into towards the end were either extremely flat or just very weird.

But the relationship between Joel and Ellie was just incredible, along with the complete absence of padding and faff. These moment-to-moment one liners and chirps between the two main characters and others gave them a sense of humanity that actually feels both relaxing yet impactful. And it's so good to not have to deal with the modern day plague of every level being an activity/shooting gallery. You can sometimes just walk around and immerse yourself in the game world.

8/10. And I am still absolutely loving Witcher 2. Great lore, enjoyable, challenging but yet fair combat, and excellent side quests that are again not full of padding.

Left Behind is a fantastic DLC for The Last of Us. Really delves into Ellie's back story and also expands a bit on what happened during one of the key parts of the game itself.

I've just started Final Fantasy 7 remake and I'm smitten. The music, graphics, story, it's all so reminiscent of the original. I can tell I'm going to love spending a lot of time with this one.

Just finished Left Behind. It is fantastic indeed and considerably harder than TLoU itself. The delicately mixed/balanced pacing and small moments of tenderness between the characters were again amazing. I took my time throughout both parts and finished them in around 19 hours and it's frankly far better use of my time and better value to spend it in such an immersive and enjoyable game world.

I am still playing my way through Witcher 2. In my PS4 backlog I have Until Dawn, Ratchet and Clank, and Horizon Zero Dawn (plus expansion) to finish. On the PC, I bought Control, Borderlands 3 and have the Xbox game pass and feel tempted to play A Plague Tale: Innocence at some point (probably not right now). What should I play next, Geekzoners, out of that list whilst I wait for my ordered physical copy of FFVII Remake to arrive after the lockdown?

Zero dawn horizon would be my recommendation.

I took your recommendation and restarted Horizon Zero Dawn. It's been excellent so far and playing on an OLED with HDR is quite a sight to behold!

Went back for a round of Diablo II Lord of Destruction - blazingly fast on windows 10 with an SSD!

Still playing AC:O It really is a breathtaking bit of graphical wonder. They have done an exceedingly good job with the scale and detail in the game.

The combat is starting to get a bit less enjoyable now, so I have started to progress the main missions faster.

I'm looking for something to replace God of War which I will finish in the next few days. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Would appreciate ideas.

In recent years on PS4 I have played HRZ, RDR2, GTA V, Last of Us, Uncharted 4, Witcher 3, Fallout 4.

I'm thinking of Metal Gear Solid - Phantom Pain. Seems it's a stealth thing - I quite like that - and can have a long play time. It has 93 on Metacritic.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
