Finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and thoroughly enjoyed it - a truly excellent open-world RPG game made with very high production values.

 

Recently started Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Another wonderful game from the AC franchise - made with even higher production values than KCD2. Looks fantastic on PS5 Pro. Going to have many long happy hours there. Anyone else playing it?

I am playing Shadows. It's very pretty. The sound is absolutely incredible. I can not highly enough recommend a decent pair of headphones esp during rainy seasons. 

 

It has a number of significant annoyances for me. There is a slight lag to some actions I don't love. 

 

I do love how quickly Noae moves and climbs. 

 

For me, it's not nearly as good as Odyssey, if you haven't played that, I highly recommend it as the most fun of the AC Series.

I’ve played every AC game released over the past 15 years or so. Some have been better than others but I enjoyed them all. TBH I don’t remember enough about the individual differences in their play mechanics to be able to compare and contrast now. However, after about 12 hours play, although I’ve only scratched the surface, I am sure that ACS will be at or near the top my AC list.

It feels endless. I am unsure how many hours in I am, at least 20, doing lots of sidequests but I am sure I'll actually get bored with it at some stage in the not too distant future.

I had only opened 50% of the map in Odyssey by around hour 100, so feeling endless isn't just a feeling....it seems to be the reality at Ubisoft these days.

Some games are huge and can suck up a lot of time. I spent about 750 hours on Elden Ring and 200 on each of Demon’s Souls and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

 

However I have time on my hands and if a game is at least moderately good, I’m happy to while away the time. ACS easily meets my modest criteria so I’m in.

Obsessed with XCOM 2 still. Have now started a War of the Chosen campaign and am thoroughly enjoying it. Coincidentally an XCOM bundle is now on Humble Bundle. If you haven't already got the games, I thoroughly recommend them.
