My Sculptures
@Jecht_Ultima I understand its devicive title but found the gameplay a huge step forwards vs the first game. Enjoy! I've been shopping there today too but got ghost of tsushima for £24 after using my points
That indie sale on the store is dangerous! Just popped on for a browse, next thing I know I have 10 new games and I’m £60 lighter! Still, got some bargains on games I’ve been keeping an eye on for a while... Rime, Risk of Rain 2 and Nex Machina... and 7 other games which just seemed so cheap it would be rude not to.
@JohnnyShoulder 🤣 kind of... in all honesty I haven’t scheduled past December 2023, every game after that point (of which there is currently around 200) is just provisionally down as ‘sometime in Jan 2024 or thereafter’.
@colonelkilgore I’m trying not to cave and buy Disco Elysium and The Pathless. FF7R Intergrade drops soon and then R&C and I still haven’t started Returnal yet. These sales are making it very difficult to keep from expanding my backlog.

@Th3solution I do want both Disco Elysium and The Pathless but I’m kinda hoping that i’ll be able to get a better bargain on them eventually if I wait it out a bit (think it was just £5 off each of them at the mo). I plan on picking up Returnal too eventually, I think I’m gonna love it. I’m gonna play Risk of Rain 2 before I play Returnal though as I want a little rouge-like XV in the tank before I take it on.
@colonelkilgore The only rogue-like I’ve played to completion before was Dead Cells and it was 2D with a Metroidvania twist. I liked it better than I expected to, but I’m very naive to the genre otherwise.
I got warmed to the Returnal combat with Control though, I think there is a similar kinetic vibe. But I’m taking a small break with some slower games first.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution yeah I’d imagine endgame Control does play (at least in terms of the shooting and manoeuvring) somewhat similar to the freneticism of Returnal (from what I’ve seen of Returnal anyway).
@colonelkilgore Yeah, the dodge move looks very similar. And multiple enemies on screen at once attacking from all angles and positions with no meaningful cover, along with a focus on verticality of the battlefield with levitation / grappling hook. If it’s similar then I should be in for a treat because I couldn’t get enough of Control.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution a solid yes to all those things... though from what I gather Returnal will be significantly harder. I’ve lost count of the peeps I speak to, and podcasters that I listen to who noticeably tremble at the mere mention of biome 3 and the homing missing drones of terror! Good luck 😉.
@Th3solution I guess there are some similarities between the combat in Control and Returnal but movement in the latter is significantly faster and it there’s definitely a bigger focus on dodging bullets. Either way, I don’t see how anyone could dislike the combat in Returnal unless they just hate shooters and action games in general.
There are reasons why Returnal is not for everyone but the shooting is not one of them
@Voltan I’m still in the process of palate cleansing before tackling it, but I expect I’ll be gushing and wanting to talk about it [Returnal] when the time comes. Even if the similarities with Control are shallow, I didn’t want to spoil the experience with ‘frenetic shooter’ fatigue.
That, and the bugs early on gave me pause. Sounds like the major patching has all been complete at this point though.
