Re: Anno 1800 Console Edition Sets Sail for PS5 Launch on 16th March

I am so happy to see all of these strategy/4x games coming to consoles and I'm equally happy it DIDN'T happen when I was younger with nothing but free time. If you're frothing for something in the same realm between now and March 16, please check out Stellaris and CK3. Planetfall is another option but it's more like Civ with XCOM combat...so a fair bit different.

Great review! I am so happy that they brought it over to consoles and fully expect to go in on Bannerlord during the winter lull in games. I'm still playing a fair bit of CK3 but miss the days of joining in the battle instead of watching it sim out. Thanks for covering this game!

It's weird and how I feel about wrestling games too - I want a sim style game until I don't. I can't really articulate when it happens but reading the comments here and remembering putting people through glass every game or the missile from the blue line that breaks the back glass and I think - yep.

Re: Glory to the Emperor! Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr to Get Native PS5 Release

Their twitter announcement states it will be $50 and there will NOT be an upgrade path. Entirely separate. This is a huge bummer for me because I just bought this about 3 weeks ago and then read that it had a ps5 version releasing this year so I waited to play it. I've heard great things.

Re: Begin Your Reign with RimWorld: Console Edition's Royalty DLC, Available Now on PS5, PS4

I posted this elsewhere but if you're like me, my biggest concern is always the controls translation from PC to console. Let me put your mind at ease - they've done a great job here. Much like the CK3 port, there are instances of an extra step here and there (I'm looking at you colonist traits menu) but overall the UI/X is far better than the PC version.

No need to pump RimWorld's tires when it comes to gameplay. It's one of the highest rated games on steam.

Re: Aliens: Fireteam Elite Sprays and Prays with 15 Minutes of Raw Co-Op Gameplay

@Stragen8 This. My mate and I are at a bit of a lull with co-op games to play and this looks to be right up our alley. $40 + beer money for a few weeks of some evening gaming with a close friend that is pretty mindless but also set in a universe that we both know and love - sounds pretty great to me. Shooting xenos while we catch up on each other's lives, count me in!
