Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Metonymy I do really enjoy the mysterious nature of it and how it's keeping me guessing! I do hope that by the end I'll have more answers on the major questions at least (such as what is the Collective exactly, who is the Warden, etc.). I might be disappointed if it leaves it rather open-ended, but that will all depend on the execution if so, so I won't judge yet even if you tell me it is on the more open-ended side.

Just finished another play session and saved right before the extraction of my next target at the Steelworks. That place was a bit of maze, but I seem to have gotten through it alright! Definitely some great level design like you mentioned though. The way it all folds back onto itself as you unlock new paths and abilities was very well done. I did piss off a few monsters that I did not have the ammo to handle, so there was one area I actively had to avoid in my back-tracking or risk being absolutely obliterated, haha. What can I say? I wanted that valuable item! The gravity boots are a little bit nausea-inducing for me though. I hope they don't become as big of a part of the future chapters where they expect me to fly around in 360s for five minutes again. I was so disoriented! I've also noticed how reliant I am on maps in other survival horror fare. It's been a shock to the system not having one here, but I've adjusted well enough!

@Ravix Ohhh, the start of a beast. Did you play the original Divinity: Original Sin as well, or is this your first dive into that particular series?

@Tjuz first dive, but I loved Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian do seem to get what I like about games. BG3 was probably my first ever CRPG and turn based game tbh, as it isn't an area I had any experience with despite loving fantasy in general and knowing stuff like it existed. The same way The Witcher 3 was my first real fantasy RPG, I think 🤷‍♂️ see, when I said I wanted to be a bigger nerd but never was, I meant it and i'm really making up for it now!

Is it a series you are familiar with? And are you an acolyte of Larian, perchance? (I would normally nosy at your game list to find out, but there's nothing on it 😅) but man, is it a similarly framed start point and design, i'm just doing it in reverse. So I imagine it was obvious going the other way too.
