Salt and Sanctuary has truly got me gripped now. As is so often the case with these games, I was struggling to find the weapon that was right for me, but on Sunday afternoon everything clicked and I beat three bosses. Such a great game.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
Downloaded Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as it’s on PS Now. Wow, this is a stinker. Only played a handful of the sports but that was enough. Very glad it came PS Now, I was close to buying it. Dodged a bullet.
Might play International Track and Field on the PlayStation 1 instead. 100 times better.
@Voltan It's certainly a weird, creepy and somewhat disturbing game at times. But thoroughly lovable, for all that. @Jimmer-jamer@colonelkilgore@Th3solution I just completed Finnish Tango, I have the cassette recorder and can now navigate my way through the Ashtray Maze at last, two missions to go before completing the game as you have mentioned colonel, the maze should be a good proving ground for completing the final mission of the game, and then it's onto Return of the Obra Dinn, a nice mystery game, that, sol and Jimmer, other Souls players have recommended as something to play until Elden Ring comes out - I've already discussed this with/mentioned this to the colonel.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I look forward to your thoughts on the closing hours of Control. You’re making good progress.
As far as your next games after Obra Dinn, have you thought of going back to the Uncharted series? I think you enjoyed UC2 but if memory serves, you still have yet to play UC1 and UC3. I believe you did play UC4. There is also Lost Legacy if you’ve not experienced that yet.
You also have The Order 1886 you can try for an Uncharted style game if you are in the mood.
You don’t care for stealth gameplay, if I recall correctly, do you? Ever thought about trying Spider-Man? There’s a lot of flashy combat and exploration, with minimal stealth missions. Not sure how you feel about the comic / superhero properties.

@TheBrandedSwordsman hmm, you could always play one of the other Tomb Raider games as I remember you really enjoyed the one you played. uncharted 3 is always in your back pocket. Have you played the two Last of Us games?
@Th3solution I think, since UC1 & UC3 don't seem to feature aim assist (except only slightly - no idea how I beat UC2) I will be focusing on Return of the Obra Dinn, The Sinking City and perhaps The Order:1886 for my next main games @colonelkilgore I have played the first Last of Us, found the scarcity of ammo rather off-putting, to you and sol I say I am not really a stealth guy outside of the Arkham trilogy, so, yeah those games and Spiderman are out for me, thanks, though ,sol and colonel!
@TraCuz- I have a feeling you may not get the alert as I messed your name up again (that dash at the end), so I’ll put it here in a direct reply:
Just finished the story of Ghost of Tsushima, bit of mopping up to do for the Platinum but done a big chunk of it during my play through… magnificent game. Probably one of my favourites of all time and I will definitely play the Directors Cut in the future. @TraCuz@Thrillho@Jimmer-jammer just to echo the great things you guys have previously mentioned about GoT… I frikkin’ loved it! Will be a bit sad when the Plat pops actually. I’d place it there or thereabouts in my top 5 games ever.
Also, I couldn’t help but feel some narrative and thematic similarities to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight while playing it… maybe it’s just me as I love those films so much but Jin reminds me a lot of Nolan’s Batman… though he obviously kills a helluva lot more baddies.
@colonelkilgore What?! You finished already?! I thought you might pace yourself like you normally do, but this must've grabbed you! Such an amazing game!
Top moments: Opening Sequence - Title Card Reveal - Seeing how vast the skill trees are - That flashback with Uncle Shimura when you 1st assassinate - First Haiku - First mythical ability - Seeing Jin and Yuna develop - Grappling into Castle Shimura - First time you Slaughter a captain and enter Ghost Stance - Taka's Death - When Jin solidifies his persona as Ghost when he poisons the camp - How broken Jin is escaping with his dying horse - Decapitating Khan - Final Showdown with Uncle - The choice at the end!!
Sorry for the format of this but I couldn't figure out how to do it another way, you gotta let me know what you chose!
@TraCuz- probably the second one involving Taka but all three (& others) were awesome.
I finished it relatively quickly as I’ve been off work this week… I normally only get to game once per week on Wednesday. Still got some stuff left to do though.
@colonelkilgoreSame here!! And the creator already said that its the canon decision if the game continues. Not gonna lie that was some very memorable writing. I'll remember it for the rest of my days. "You have no honor" "And you are a slave to it!" Amazing stuff.
@TraCuz- agreed bud, imho it’s as good as any writing I’ve witnessed in a game. I was a little surprised actually as I’d heard it was a bit tropey and that Jin was one-dimensional. I thought the opposite though, I didn’t see tropes but homage to the heritage and as I alluded to earlier Jin was Nolan-esque.
@colonelkilgore Ah man, seeing your and @TraCuz- comments brings back awesome memories of the game. It really did have some epic moments. The gameplay was quite fantastic too. But the star of the whole thing was that beautiful art design. Lovely and just so mesmerizing to play. Following the wind never got old.
