@KillerBoy ....to be fair, I've only played the demo. Like I say, it's very 'fantasy souls like generic RPG'....not terrible, just derivative. But ya never know, I might be surprised!
Crisis Core FF7 Reunion on PS5. Only a few hours in but already getting my ass kicked by 3rd boss, more grinding needed 💪 Doom The Dark Ages on XBX gamepass. Completed the 1st level but already loving it more than Eternal, which I hated.
More Oblivion Remastered on XBX, it's got its claws into me in a big way. Such nostalgic memories of '06 ! I love how it's more of a hardcore RPG than Skyrim too ( which i adore btw)
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Atomfall and the amazing Avowed both on GamePass. Not sure what to make of Atomfall....its just ok. After playing and replaying the utterly brilliant STALKER 2 it just rings a little hollow
Have also started the lovely Crisis Core FF7 Reunion on PS5
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@naruball ...i agree - two great games, particularly Veilguard, that are far better than the haters would have you believe. Is the Forspoken DLC worth it ? Tempted
Finished South of Midnight earlier on XBX. What a stunning game ! This wasn't on my radar at all, read the reviews, thought I'd check it out on GamePass. So glad I did. Great gameplay, superb graphical style, just a joy to play- get all over it if ( when ) it comes to PS5. It reminds of the PS game Kena Bridge of Spirits, but better
Also will blitz some long sessions in on Oblivion Remastered which has its claws in me like it's 2006
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@mac_da_man I've got South of Midnight installed and added to the backlog ! Looks great, is it as good as it looks ? How long did it take you complete it ?
@HallowMoonshadow it really is great to be playing this again isn't it ? They've done such a good job with this remaster, although it's understandably buggy ......brings back such nostalgic feelings of playing this in 2006 !
Back after working manically for the last 2 weekends ! Time for long, quality gaming sessions ! Could only be ES IV Oblivion on XBX and it's amazing- understandably buggy though, bring on those patches Also thinking about starting Clar Obscura time allowing. Not a popular opinion here but XBX gamepass is killing it right now - I've Oblivion , South of MidnightAtomfallAvowedBorderlands3 and Ninja Gaiden Black all on the GP backburner....my PS5 will be feeling unloved soon 😀 Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@Czar_Khastik ...totally agree. My 5 yr old daughter loves the old Xbox Manhunt games - she takes great joy in finding original ways to pulverise heads in or suffocate them with plastic bags 😉
@MrPeanutbutterz ...its a shame, you should really give it a try one day. The gameplay is very engaging, particularly the 1st person combat, with melee and a whip, just like in the movies. The puzzles are superb too. Just don't go into it expecting another Uncharted or Tomb Raider, it's more akin to the Indy films
@OldGamer999 ...Sony were such an electronics powerhouse back in the day, before refocusing on PlayStation. I think the Sony Xperia phones are the best on the market but being obliterated by Apple and Samsung
@Meowmixes98 ...this is Nintendo.it will NEVER go on sale. Mario Kart 8 is still full price after all these years and still selling in the millions. Even pre owned copies are not much cheaper. MK World will do the same
@Judal27 ...yeah I have all the Remastered Xenoblade games on Switch sat in my backlog ! Pining for the day I can get around to committing the time for them and this
Atomfall on GamePass. Not impressed so far, it's a poor man's STALKER but nowhere near as good. No sense of dread, enemy types are the same, no atmosphere, unlike the brilliant STALKER 2 Also dabbling in Forza Motorsport and AC Shadows which is superb so far Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
Assassins Creed Shadows for me - a 1000% improvement on the yawn inducing Valhalla. Superb setting
Will be blitzing Tekken 8 with FF16's Clive who is so overpowered it's guaranteed wins in online ranked matches 😉
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️
@get2sammyb ...Robocop is ok - it plays like a typical PC 00's style FPS, even with the typical atrocious voice acting lol. It's the epitome of an enjoyable 6/10 game
Space Marine 2...finished the excellent campaign and now onto the co op online operations mode and multiplayer. A great game More of the superb Avowed on XBX a typically great Obsidian RPG - it's literally The Outer Worlds in a fantasy setting Have a great weekend guys and gals
Not just a contender - was my GOTY last year. Troy Baker did a phenomenal job as Indy. The puzzles are fantastic and it replicates the feel of an Indy Jones film perfectly. It's nothing like Uncharted though, it's not an action game, but there's plenty in it. Superb
Such a great gaming history Monolith had, some fantastic PC games - Alien V Predator 2, the No One Lives Forever games, Tron 2.0, FEAR 1 & 2, the Condemned games. A very talented studio. Such a shame
@EfYI ...kind of yeah - in the sense that they are very hardcore, won't hold your hand in any whatsoever with a huge open world that you're free to explore as you wish and challenging combat. They're both fantastic with tonnes of atmosphere. And yes, similar mechanics, like you say
Sorry guys, Im being a full on traitor this weekend and staying on XBX for the next few months lol !
Playing the truly wonderful KC2 - Deliverance , got to Trosky and picked up some side quests and loving it. So much better than the first game.
Started Avowed on early access with GamePass and its great so far, an interesting Pillars of Eternity spin-off- a fantasy Outer Worlds and im loving it
Also, another life sapping open world hardcore RPG with the brilliant STALKER 2 ..As hardcore as it gets and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Have a great weekend guys and gals ❤️

Re: Game of the Year Contender Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Targeting April PS5 Release
Not just a contender - was my GOTY last year. Troy Baker did a phenomenal job as Indy. The puzzles are fantastic and it replicates the feel of an Indy Jones film perfectly. It's nothing like Uncharted though, it's not an action game, but there's plenty in it. Superb
Re: Cancelled Wonder Woman PS5 Game Was 'Gorgeous and Expansive'
A shame we'll never see it. You'd certainly back Monolith to deliver a great game. Couldn't be worse than Suicide Squad ...could it ?
Re: Warner Bros. Games Closes Multiple Studios, Wonder Woman Cancelled
Such a great gaming history Monolith had, some fantastic PC games - Alien V Predator 2, the No One Lives Forever games, Tron 2.0, FEAR 1 & 2, the Condemned games. A very talented studio. Such a shame
