I'm not wikipedia, the answers are out there though

 

Agree, googling for fake game reviews demonstrates that, along with the documented changes to steam's review processes

I feel that I must be towards the end of Elden Ring (I'm up to Commander Neill)

 

 

Good grief. Was I really stuck there for three weeks? Just defeated him :)

I know I have mentioned it before, but I can't recall the last time I enjoyed a game like Division 2 as much as I enjoyed playing it as a single player, but more importantly right now, as a multiplayer with my best mate. It's accessible, fun to play, addictive in a good way, and just generally good fun.

Have heard of Saints Row over the years but that's all - never played it and know nothing about it. Just saw this CNet story about a new version coming in August. Totally silly but does appeal to me, so will look forward it.





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

I've enjoyed the SR Series. It's quite silly, but still can be fun. The 4th was the best IMO.

I have just finished the main story of Forbidden West. It's a weird sensation to say overall I didn't really enjoy a game but still felt compelled to play enough to finish not only the main mission, but most of the side missions and levelled up most of my gear (though got very small amounts of legendary stuff). 

 

The difficulty was much harder mostly, I think because it wants you to use all the tools as your disposal to play and I couldn't really be bothered. I found keeping enough crafting stuff to have useful arrows was a chore. It wasn't that there wasn't any enjoyable game play but I feel oddly like overall I didn't really enjoy it. 

 

I guess an expansion will be coming at some stage which I'd likely play. 

 

 

 

Interestingly the story seemed more cohesive and understandable compared to the first where I was constantly lost. Story is usually something I tolerate so I can get the game play, but this time I was interested in the outcome. 

 

I switched over to Spider Man Miles Morales which I didn't enjoy the first time I picked it up, but am really enjoying this time including the story! There are a dizzying array of possible moves and I am only using a relative fraction of them, especially given now I am a bit further in the story and stealth is more of an option, which is something I quite enjoy.  

 

It does have a same-same feeling along with things like Batman series, and LOTR series etc, but it's still a game I am enjoying.

I am playing Horizon: Forbidden West on a PS4 Pro & enjoying it.

 

In my opinion, it is better than Zero Dawn. Mind you, Zero Dawn was enjoyable.

I jumped into Resident Evil Village again over the weekend to show someone the graphics, 3 hours later I'm knee deep in blood and giant vampire ladies and can't get enough of it, again.

So, I finished Miles Morales, I enjoyed it quite a bit, the story was pretty OK as well.  I felt it was pretty short, and no expansions seem imminent, unfortunately. 

 

Wanting more spiderman, I decided to play the original, which has been remastered. It's very pretty and the gameplay fairly similar. I am about 75% of the way through the story now, and expect to complete it by the end of the week.

Friends gone nuts on the mobile Diablo.... tried it on PC, just more of the same to me.

 

Playing Minecraft again on my own server as a bit of chill out time.

XCOM®: Chimera Squad on Steam (steampowered.com)

 

Awesome.

 

I've played this through three times now in succession.  Not sure I've done that with a game before

Make sure they’re not spending their life savings away, thats about the only difference nowadays; the blatant money grabbing ‘features’ that keep getting pushed in.

Currently free.   No idea if it's any good?  Guess I'm about to find out.

I've been playing Horizon: Forbidden West on PS5 and it's a stunning game. Just finished the main storyline, which I thoroughly enjoyed and am 1 trophy away from getting platinum. My game of the year so far.
