A solid 10. In biased, though. I've played through the game a whopping 17 times and not once have I played as male V. Cherami Leigh is phenomenal as Valerie.
@StitchJones Yeah I'm puzzled as to why they've chosen UE5 for The Witcher 4 when RED is still perfectly capable. I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and it still looks gorgeous. I don't think UE5 is particularly good at character models/facial expressions which is one of the better things of the RED Engine.
I really hope that Troy Baker starts scooping up some best performance awards. His Harrison Ford was impeccable. I also hope that KCD2 wins many well deserved awards too.
Zero Dawn is my favourite PlayStation 'exclusive' but I was nowhere near as smitten with Forbidden West. It looked great but everything else just wasn't as good as the first game, in my opinion. Even Aloy became dislikeable, for me.
I got all achievements for Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox but it's nowhere near as satisfying as a good old platinum trophy ping.
I've started playing The Witcher 3 from the very beginning again. This game is 10 years old and, in my opinion, puts a lot of recent new games to shame.
I personally loved Fallout 4. It had plenty of things to discover when just exploring, had some great characters/companions and had some very decent quests. I even preferred the voiced protagonist but that was thanks to badass Nora being voiced by Jack from Mass Effect.

Re: 007 First Light Unveils Lenny Kravitz as a Villain in New Trailer
I remember thinking the same when Keanu Reeves was cast in Cyberpunk 2077. Turned out a wise move in the end though.

Re: PS5 Players Ponder Avowed Port as Xbox RPG Delays Its 'Biggest Update Yet'
Played this on Game Pass and thought that it was fairly decent. It does get repetitive though.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Now at a Staggering 35 Million Sales as Work on Sequel Continues to Ramp Up
Still my favourite game of all time just above The Witcher 3. I'm a CDPR fanboy and proud of it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 608
I'm in the gorgeous Duchy of Toussaint in The Witcher 3. Just met Geralt's old dear friend, Regis, and it isn't Laurence Fishburne.

I really hope that Troy Baker starts scooping up some best performance awards. His Harrison Ford was impeccable. I also hope that KCD2 wins many well deserved awards too.
Re: Horizon Sales Update Cements It As One of Sony's Strongest Franchises
Zero Dawn is my favourite PlayStation 'exclusive' but I was nowhere near as smitten with Forbidden West. It looked great but everything else just wasn't as good as the first game, in my opinion. Even Aloy became dislikeable, for me.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Sales Top 4 Million with Still No Sign of an Expansion
I loved DD2. Just a trek to your current objective was an adventure all in itself.
Re: Tales of Berseria Remastered Set for PS5, $40 Game Out on 27th February

A bit s**t really, in my opinion.

As good as Clair Obscur is, my boy Henry would get my vote.

I got all achievements for Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox but it's nowhere near as satisfying as a good old platinum trophy ping.

Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for November 2025 Leaked
My dog always tried pawing my TV screen whenever I played this. I'm pretty sure he knew it wasn't real because he's normally s**t scared of cats.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
80 hours into Hogwarts Legacy and still not finished. I got the platinum for this on my PS5 so I may as well get all cheevos here on Xbox.
Re: Mark 10 Years of Fallout 4 with a PS5, PS4 Re-Release Next Month
I personally loved Fallout 4. It had plenty of things to discover when just exploring, had some great characters/companions and had some very decent quests. I even preferred the voiced protagonist but that was thanks to badass Nora being voiced by Jack from Mass Effect.
