Topic: Games you've recently beat

Beat Mortal Shell. About the most 6/10 game I’ve ever played.

@RogerRoger I presume "Headhunter Redemption" is about the titular character turning himself into the police and seeking redemption for all the heads he has hunted over the years?

Also, what's up with the word "redemption" being used for literally no reason in SO MANY titles? Never quite understood that, since it sounds painfully generic. A series called "Headhunter" should have a little more pizazz. Like: "Headhunter: Max Carnage." Or "Headhunter: Just One Head More." Or even "The Revenge of Headhunter."

...you can feel free to ignore me. I'm in that weird state where I've just woken up, but I also haven't quite gotten enough sleep.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It’s never a ‘bad’ game, just exceedingly middling. Which in itself is more of an issue than if the game was outright bad. Especially when it’s essentially copying another series.

Finished Crash 3 there as part of the N-Sane Trilogy. It’s not fantastic. The skill things destroy all balance the second game had while making time trials necessary for all gems was just plain mean.

"Beat" is a very strong word, but I did stay up until 2:30 in the morning getting to the credits of Monster Hunter Rise. The meat of the game is still ahead of me, of course, via both harder single-player hunts and gathering hub content. With that said, now that I've hit the credits, I think I'll put it down for a while and let Capcom update it a few times before I seriously get back into playing again. Maybe do an odd hunt here or there so my muscle memory doesn't fade.

I beat Abzu recently through Play at home and I really enjoyed it! The graphics were simple but beautiful, the swim controls were easy and fun and the music was great! I do prefer The Pathless as that is more of a game but Abzu does what it sets out to do well.

@Jackpaza0508 Great little game, glad you enjoyed it! Both games form the same studio and composer. Austion Wintory has never disappointed me.

@Ralizah Bit of a shame there’s no G Rank. I’ll probably wait until it’s added before grabbing Rise.

@JohnnyShoulder I did know about the studio but I didn't know it was the same composer! Both game's soundtracks are great!

That's me done with a complete run of Ratchet and Clank having been around 80% of the way through before having to completely restart!

Great little game that is just good fun to play. The weapons are brilliantly varied and the different planets all have a varied feel to them. The Clank sections are a little tedious but do get you thinking without getting too frustrating.

I finished off getting all weapons to level 5 and getting health to full level before I give Challenge Mode a run at some point soon.

@OrigamiCrane For now.... cracks knuckles menacingly

@Thrillho Just finished Ratchet & Clank myself. Such great fun. I got all the trophies that are available in the first play-through, but maxing out all the weapons (Lvl10), seems like it’s going to take multiple play-throughs?

I wonder how Insomniac is going to justify Rift apart being full priced. The 10hours or so for the reboot was the perfect length.

@Fight_Teza_Fight Yeah, you need to play challenge mode to get to full health and get level 10 on weapons.

I think you also need to buy upgrades to go beyond level 5 which are only available once you have the three holocards for it.

just finished the main campaign of outriders good game. server issues are a big problem though

Just finished ac valhalla. 144 hours in with everything complete. But can't seem to get the overdesign 2 trophy for the platinum. Can't find enemies with the red skull above them even with all the skills reset. Only showing as yellow.

Now on to disco elysium

I just beat Jedi Fallen Order. Loved it! Absolute must play for any star wars fan. The worlds were big and beautiful, the combat awesome and satisfying, and the story was great too. Some of the puzzles were frustrating and I also glitched out of bounds at one point, and some other small glitches, but thats all that I can say thats bad about it. Also I freaked out when I unlocked the 4 new colors and the split saber attack! I absolutely love the lightsaber customization part of this game.

@pilot I think it’s been pretty well received by most people with the common complaints being slight technical issues (not a real problem for me) and the amount of backtracking, especially if you’re revisiting worlds.

Are you aiming for the platinum trophy? It’s a very achievable one but some of the collectibles are fiendishly hidden away! If you’re not, I’d still recommend exploring the Venator wreckage (if you missed it like I did..)

Well have just finished main campaign storyline on Control and I have to admit I really enjoyed the game. It's weird, obscure and quirky but so am I and maybe that's why I liked it. Still gotta go back for sidequests and random trophies but if anyone was on the fence I would recommend giving it a go.
I enjoyed using Jedi (not Jedi) powers to chuck objects at enemies, dodging about while energy refills. Some of the NPCs were well written - especially check out the Finnish janitor - he rocks. Some of the collectables really quite amusing (Memo: "my feet gossip at night and now I have to wear shoes to bed" - so irreverent I loved it!).

Not a game I would probably have paid for but happy to plough through as part of clearing my ps+ backlog

@Sorteddan Glad you enjoyed it man, I had similar thoughts as you. I loved the combat. I saw a vid on YouTube which explained a bit about the game and the importance of Ahti to the overall universe, which made a lot of sense.

@Sorteddan @JohnnyShoulder yeah, was playable as a mother-****er! I loved it and look forward to playing through it again on PS5.
