@NedStarksGhost Hey there, good to have you back on the forums. I posted on here recently that after about 50 hours in Deathloop I hit a brick wall and couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Loved the way movement and gun play felt, and the overall presentation. But it got a bit too samey for me towards the end of my time. I may go back to it, I'm undecided, but it won't be until the new year after I've played a few more games.

@NedStarksGhost Nice to see you back. I had wondered how you were doing and hoping you were okay. Glad you’ve made it through the “rut” and enjoyed Deathloop. I’ve not played it and am lukewarm on the game, to be honest. The favorable impressions and reviews have my curiosity piqued though.
What’s next on your plans to play?

Cracking on with Guardians at the moment and it’s weird because it’s the first PS5 game where I’ve really noticed loading times at all.
They’re almost certainly no worse than games back on the PS4 but after such snappy/near invisible loading times on every other game, it’s been quite noticeable to me.
@velio84 yeah the invasions aspect is quite fun but just not when you're trying to get through a story and pick up information. I found it a distraction at times I just didn't want. I tried playing as Julianna invading others, that was quite fun.
@JohnnyShoulder thanks! I can see where you'r coming from Johnny, after finishing it I didn't feel any need to go back and do more. I was just happy to finish the game where I was, and not unlock all of the side stuff.
@Th3solution thank you, I'm doing well now and hope you are too! I think you should give it a go when it's on sale, I found it quite interesitng as a premise, and the gameplay is really fun. Next up I need to get back to HZD, I stopped again as I was gifted Deathloop for my birthday and wanted to prioritise it. What are you playing at the moment?
@Jimmer-jammer
Very glad to hear your high opinion of it. That's one game I have really wanted to play but have been putting off buying until I got PS5 so it will definitely be one of my first purchases.

@Sorteddan To be fair Hades probably runs just fine on PS4, considering it was originally a Switch release... but PS5 is the only version that uses adaptive triggers when petting the dog!
@Voltan
Probably does. I just stopped buying new releases when the new console came out knowing id rather have a bunch of stuff to get to when I got my hands on one

Anyways, just so I can now be a 'proper' participant in this thread... I have just started playing Astrobot whatever its called. Only about 20mins in and, my goodness, what a joyful little thing. Has had me grinning and chuckling plenty already, and I don't particularly go for 3D platformers usually. Anyhow am very sleep deprived so gonna nap for a bit and hopefully get some more game time this evening.

That's sold it for me.

@NedStarksGhost I just finished (and platinum’d) R&C Rift Apart and next I was planning Demon’s Souls but I think I’m going to tidy up a couple stragglers I never finished. First up Rime and maybe 13 Sentinels. I’m not sure which way the wind will blow and I feel a little empty after finishing Rift Apart, honestly. It’s weird because that’s not a really heavy game that I would have expected to linger in my consciousness, but it kinda is.

Played through a good chunk of Guardians of the Galaxy… and quite enjoying it. It feels like the ultimate Telltale game (like if Telltale had a AAA budget… and gameplay instead of QTE’s), which is quite ironic considering that they did actually make a GotG game. I might actually pick the Telltale GotG game up if I can find a copy, just out of pure curiosity what with playing through this currently.
In regards to the Eidos-Montreal version, the story and characters are absolutely brilliant, the art design is phenomenal, the music choices are great… and the gameplay is very mediocre (though far, FAR better than the gameplay in a Telltale game). Even though I have often spoke about my gameplay first mentality, the overall package is winning me over a bit on this one.
@Voltan I just find it very basic tbh… by no means terrible but extremely average. As I’ve said though, it isn’t negatively affecting the experience though as the overall product is just so good
@Jimmer-jammer so as I’ve said mate, imho the gameplay is nothing to write home about but apart from that I rate everything else extremely highly. Even though this is a (slightly) different representation of the Guardians to the MCU, I actually feel like I’m playing through a really good (like really good) Marvel cosmic movie. It’s not necessarily the experience that I’m generally after in terms of gaming but I’m enjoying it all the same.
Just rolled the credits on Guardians of the Galaxy. A really fitting end to the story and some of the best dialog in the game. Now I’ve got to see how I’m going to clean up the last of the trophies as they don’t seem to be a way to see which collectibles I’m missing from each chapter.
