Kena was great, puzzles and mostly open world. Animal Well was interesting, great as a metroidvania, a bit confusing at times. Stray Blade was another souls like, gameplay and maps were great, ending kinda meh.
Of “All Time”. Clearly missed out on some influential titles there besides Pong. Ultima series, Bards Tale, Flight Simulator, SM3. I’d even add ET for the 2600, yes it was a failure, but epic. Also no Myst?
Well it looks like a typical Nintendo game, lower resolution, lots of black and white. Looks character based, maybe x amount of premade archetypes. No actual gameplay though.
I don’t think I’d want my character in a Dark Souls game or Souls-like to be talking back to me for getting killed, suiciding or another reset of his stats.
Where else could the story go? Revenge is a dish best never served. Ellie got everything she deserved at the end. Abby also came to that conclusion. I doubt their continuing stories amounted to much else.
HoL was a hilarious adventure. The inclusion of 5 B Rated films is great. Trashy movies to go with a trashy game. Great parodies of other sci fi works. Fun game, hope it gets a sequel.
DA is an ok series, although I haven’t played VG, it was fun in a PG13 tone. It seems they went too safe this time as you really can’t be evil. Eh, may give it a go during the next crisis or next week.
Most Lego titles are original, off-beat stories with characters of some fantasy origin. Retelling the same exact story as the real Horizon game is really dumb. Glad the game failed, don’t make a “lego” version of a game that’s already released.
Common sense seems to have abandoned video game developers.
With a console, games made for it are going to work. With a PC, unless you own the most top of the line computer, and keep it updated with latest tech, you are limited in game choice.
Biggest difference between Microsoft and Sony, Sony looks forward pushing games to their limit. Microsoft likes to keep milking the cows, where games must be for both systems, graphics/power be damned. Oh and they have to be PC compatible from day 1. Can’t fix stupid.
You have 24 hours to save your family, in a Farcry game. So, no more quests, requests, base tagging, zany alien conspiracies and any exploration. Great idea guys. Looks like Embracer is gonna gobble you up when this fails.
Sounds like the single player is in for a Remnant 2 experience, where enemy groups still attack en masse, bosses are still made for 3 players and there isn’t enough time to gain power as a single player.
@Northern_munkey by the time your on the 3rd or 4th play through, it gets old. Things don’t get interesting until after the job, and no you can’t save Jackie no matter what.
Main issue with these games is no “skip” button. The storylines are so dreadfully boring and just go on and on, that the gameplay gets bogged down. Most people don’t care about whatever relationship with whatever character.

Nothing more frustrating than hunting a ronin and you get stuck on a small tree. Harima ronin hunt is a time-sink.

Re: The Last of Us-Themed PS5 Controller Available to Pre-Order Now
Great controller, to look at. After a few months, you’ll start drifting to the left, or the right. Sony really needs to upgrade the stick *****.
Re: Silent Hill F Revealed for PS5 in Debut Trailer
After playing through remake a few times, I can honestly say that the new protagonist will have the same lack of combat ability. Can’t wait.
Re: As War on AI Rages, Two Zenless Zone Zero Stars Say They Were Replaced Without Prior Notice
Honkai Star Rail has been missing 2 main character voices for the last few months. Very odd.

Re: Rumour: Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter Has Been 'Rebooted' as Ubisoft Turmoil Continues
Why they don’t resurrect the gameplay from 2, I’ll never understand. I think we’ve run out of ideas for tropical islands.

Looks like turn based bloodborne. It looks nice but I’ll need a more honest take on it than relying on IGN .
Re: PS5 Lovecraftian Sequel The Sinking City 2 Plots Crowd Funding Campaign
Great game, tons of charm, backstabbing and exploration. Mind the flooded streets though.

They really need a Star Bors game where you’re the villain, a new game.
Re: Rumour: God of War Is Taking a 'Younger' Kratos Back to Greece
Ahh the ole reboot for more $$$ idea. Hard pass. GoW already did it to death, stomped on it, then buried it. Plenty of other mythologies to conquer.

Re: Elden Ring: Nightreign Explained, Can Be Played in Single Player and Offline
