@Th3solution Both would be good buys if you're into those kind of games. I've yet to play True Colors, but I highly enjoyed both the original and Before the Store, so I'd consider that a definite buy at some point if you enjoyed them. Kena is also pretty solid too, and has Souls-like boss battles, but I'm sure you knew about both things by now.

@KilloWertz I really enjoyed both the original LiS and Before the Storm too. I know I’d like True Colors. But I still have LiS2 in my backlog 😅
So maybe I’ll get Kena instead, since I don’t have anything quite like it. A Pixar movie Souls-like. What a concept!

@Th3solution Can't criticize the reasoning and the choice. Once I got passed my frustration with the boss fights, I highly enjoyed Kena.
I've yet to play Life is Strange 2 as well actually. It had nothing to do with the original story, so I wasn't in any rush to play it when it came out and it pretty much slipped through the cracks at this point.

@MaulTsir I’ve played Code Vein. It’s a half-decent souls-like to be fair, though not quite on the level of From Softs output, the Nioh games… and I’d also put The Surge games above it if I’m honest. Still enjoyed it though.
@MaulTsir
Little Nightmares is a decent enough puzzle platformer with good graphics and a spooky atmosphere. It's not too taxing and not especially long. A good pallette cleanser game. I never did get all of the trophies though, think one required a complete run with no deaths. Never had the DLC though.

@colonelkilgore I'm seeing some good things about it in reviews, mainly praising the combat, I am a Soul's noob to be honest with only playing Bloodborne (although I did get the plat!) lol.
I did play The Surge last year though as I had it in my ps plus list and completed it although I didn't really think too much of it, decent enough combat but bit of a bland story/characters, seemed like it wanted to be a bit of a Cross between certain games (gears, bullet clip, Soul's type).
I will probably pick it up as its only £7 and add it to the long long backlog and probably get round to it in about 4 years when it's then worth £1 🤣
@MaulTsir Metro for that price is a steal. Loved that game, even if the first one is very PS3. A definite cut above the average FPS through its atmosphere and the genuinely intriguing plot. Plus the devs are Ukrainian and the writer of the original books is very outspokenly anti-war!
@sorteddan yeah for £3.59 I thought I'd give it a go, I'll probably play it as something to stop me burning out from one of the longer games I've got going. I'll have to see if the plats attainable or if its a grind because I will probably only do one playthrough, 2 if its short enough.
@nessisonett Nice to know, I'll definitely pick it up. I've actually heard quite alot about these games and know they are loved by people who play them, I was worried that it would be really out dated.
@Kairu I bought Metroid Dread on release, and really enjoyed my time with the game TBH.
It seemed to suffer 2 x major criticisms, 1) Linearity & 2) Short Play-Time.... but honestly I found both of these to be quite refreshing!
The game is quite short for sure (8-10hrs is average completion main campaign) but it feels like a tight & streamlined experience, avoiding bloat and 'open world' mechanics.
There is a nice challenge curve also, with some of the bosses being pretty brutal...a couple are even Elden Ring standard! (IMO). I found this quite refreshing for a Nintendo IP, and the difficulty/challenge kept me engaged throughout.
Let me know your thoughts? Price tag @ 36 £GBP on Amazon is a fair price too. (£50 @ launch was slightly too much I think)
My next purchase will likely be Salt & Sacrifice next week... but honestly I am holding out for a Switch port/release, as generally I prefer to play 2D-souls/likes games on Switch as this seems a great platform for such.
I'm shopping around for a reasonably priced Japanese import of "Radiant Silvergun" for the Sega Saturn. From what I've been able to.gather it's not especially rare but it is fairly sought after, so it's just a case of being patient and playing the waiting game.
