Playing through Hyper Light Drifter at the moment. Very nice indeed, it's rather brilliant. Such a well crafted world. There's a lot of satisfaction to be had in the exploring, combat and finding secrets hidden out of the way and just admiring the artwork.
@Kidfried
I agree with Thrillo, the companions in TOW are pretty awesome, I really enjoyed their interactions and quests, definitely the highlight. And they have some fun conversations.
@Kidfried I really enjoyed The Outer Worlds (not to be confused with The Outer Wilds @Thrillho ), thought the writing, characters and voice acting was a step above anything I played that year. Ashly Burch's Parvati is such a well written character and she does an awesome job.
A quick pro tip - I had to reign in my companions eventually, as they were running off killing all the enemies before i could engage in any combat lol. Which was cool at first but quickly got a bit boring as it was making the game too easy as there was hardly any challenge.
@Kidfried Nice! I was just thinking of making that my next game! Maybe I’ll join you. These bullies are trying to pressure me into playing Dark Souls 3 first! 😉

@Th3solution I feel like a Souls game would be perfect for Game Club, as experienced players could play the game at their current NG+ difficulty while first-timers could finally have a go. The support system here would be pretty useful for beginners if they get stuck too. I just worry about enough people being up for having a go!
@nessisonett Yeah; that’s true. Souls games do benefit from community camaraderie. They are an evergreen topic around here with the amount of love people have for them and the conversation they stimulate, but I’m not sure about interest level for an actual playthrough. I’d be game, of course. Although I’ve really failed at the last two attempts, it’s not going to stop me from trying new things!

Might not feel like it but these are your glory days.

You can't see all the ****ed up 💩 that's looming on the horizon.
Enjoy this dude
@JohnnyShoulder Ha, yeah companions could be pretty overpowered; I had both with laser/plasma Gatling guns and it meant you could just stroll around and let them do all the work.
@TheBrandedSwordsman The Drake, Elena, and Sully characters are some of the best in the business, imo. But especially playing through the eyes of Drake, you really get a special connection toward the end of this game, especially if you’ve played all of them.
And I think you’ll be amazed at how well some of the same principles apply to Chloe and company for Lost Legacy.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@TheBrandedSwordsman Yes, surprisingly, Nadine is one of the characters that gets the best redemption, character development-wise. I didn’t like her at all in UC4, but grew to really like her in LL. I always liked aspects of Chloe, back in the UC2 days, but Nadine I just really disliked in UC4 (probably because she is always fighting against Nate), but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at her development.

@Kidfried I think perhaps she was focusing so much on getting the accent right that her performance sorta suffered for it in Uncharted 4. It happens a lot when actors are performing in voices completely different from their own.
Playing gravity rush 1 &2 again. It kind of feels like a funeral. But i couldn't not. One of the best games ever made. It's crushing to know that everyone behind this experience has been scattered to the winds and the IP is almost certainly dead. It's just truly amazing in every way. Even the second time around.
Playing Concrete Genie and have to say it's a really charming game, I love the interactions with the genie's and trying to channel the inner artist in me.
It's a pretty looking game and has a nice art style to the human characters, in particular the lead protagonist Ash and especially so in the cut scenes.
@TheBrandedSwordsman I can’t remember much of detail about when difficulty spikes, to be honest. I didn’t remember much that was very high in difficulty, but I have my difficulty sliders set at a pretty normal level across the board.

So around 10 hours into AC: Black Flag and really enjoying it. The controls are clunky and unintuitive but you do learn to play around that in time and... intuit the unintuitive if you get my drift.
It's surprisingly varied too which I like, the typical AC segments supply you with a decent amount of weapons and tools so there are options in how you take on a mission. Then the sea-faring is where the game shines... the open water and island-hopping still looks beautiful even though it was a cross-gen title and there is more to it than just travelling and naval battles. Whale hunting is a half-decent diversion and attacking coastal forts is epic. There is also the odd puzzle that is 'just right' in the goldilocks zone if you know what I mean... tricky but not too difficult and time-consuming to work out.

@colonelkilgore Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t get along with Black Flag in its opening hours and I bounced off of it back at release. Perhaps I need to consider another go at it. I actually kept my disc with the thought that maybe it would be worth revisiting. I have Odyssey in the backlog also, so I was planing to play that instead since the setting and character interested me more. Let me know how the game comes out in as you finish it.
