@Voltan as I’ll be playing this (Risk of Rain 2) before Returnal, do you think that there are much similarities between the two? Obviously not ideal to deduce the answer from just having viewed some gameplay as opposed to actually playing it but you may be able to identify some parallels if they’re there.
@Th3solution I've not had one crash in my 90 odd hours of playing Returnal, so I think you will be ok in that respect. The only bugs have been minor such as the sudden sounds bug and some enemies getting stuck in scenery, which I only experienced in the first 20 hours or so.
The game just feels awesome to play with the DualSense and 3D audio making it a sensory overload. And yeah the combat is top. There are a few difficulty spikes which will be interesting to see if you can get over.
And not once have I even thought about the price of game. Even if I was to stop now before I've completed the game I would feel satisfied. Disappointed from not being able to finish the game but still satisfied with the experience. Personally the price would only come into play if I only played it for a few hours and not enjoyed it.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

I also thought it looked pretty awesome but mixed reviews kind if put me off. Hope you enjoy it whenever you get around to it. Let us know how it goes in one of the the what are you playing threads coz the idea of dystopian ninja parkour definitely has something alluring about it.

@Sorteddan will do, I do tend to enjoy parkour in games if done properly. Mirror’s Edge and Dying Light are probably the only games I’ve played that did that and I really enjoyed both. From watching a few reviews I gotta feeling I’m gonna like it.
Can’t remember exactly who it was but someone on here brought attention to Snowrunner, I’ve been keeping an eye on it ever since but it seems to rarely go on sale. Just managed to grab both Mudrunner and Snowrunner though for a combined £40, so quite happy.
Today I picked up but nice steelbook edition of the last guardian and PlayStation All-Stars battle royale both of 15 quid both immaculate really can't be happier
Wolfenstein Alt History Collection - not a massive first person shooter fan but after chatting to a mate recently who wouldn’t shut up about the Wolfenstein games (minus Newblood) and Doom games I’ve been mulling it over. Already had Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal (though I’m yet to play either… just installed 2016 though) and just picked up the Wolfenstein collection for £30.
@colonelkilgore Great games! If Machine Games make any more like this but exclusive to Xbox, it’s going to be the thing I miss most from the Bethesda acquisition.
Youngblood might not be as good as the others but that doesn’t mean it’s not good still!
@Voltan well if I enjoy the first three as much as my buddy reckons I will, I’ll deffo end up giving Newblood a try at least.
I’m gonna try and start Doom first over the next month, though I have a load on my plate gaming-wise atm. Then I’ll probably give either Wolfenstein: The Old Blood or Wolfenstein: The New Order a try sometime thereafter.
@colonelkilgore
Also have The New Order on my to do list but alas have never got round to starting it.
Doom 2016 is great though, doesn't play like most recent FPS - it's a quick paced all action slaughterfest - loved it! Also recall it being pretty easy to platinum, only one trophy was a bit of a pain where I had to do first stage on hardest mode. reckon you'll be fine with it.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@Sorteddan the only thing I’m a little concerned about on the Doom plat is the multiplayer trophies as I heard it’s pretty dead. Hopefully I’ll be lucky and find just enough matches to get what I need to.
@Voltan@Sorteddan@Thrillho so I’m pretty psyched by the fact you three have such positive reactions to these games. I’m definitely more pumped to get into these as a result.
@Thrillho I’m a little confused. You say 2nd game which would indicate you’re not counting the prequel (Old Blood) or Youngblood (guess you could call it a spin-off since you don’t play as B.J.) but it was Youngblood that had weaker reviews and that’s actually the 4th game
W2: New Colossus actually had the best reviews.
Either way - I don’t think the next one will be on PS5 - if there even is a next one.
@colonelkilgore As for the Doom games - I thought the 2016 one was an extremely fast paced hardcore shooter but then Doom Eternal came out and it makes the 2016 Doom feel like easy mode slugfest lmao.
