My wife and I have been playing co-op Escape Room games like Escape Academy and Secret of Blackrock Manor (both excellent). Then we got this, based on the hype/high reviews on other sites. Bloated, slow & boring, like playing Mist or Riven with the added headache of randomly generated rooms & items. Not recommended. If the Playstation Store allowed refunds I would have tossed it back.

I have loved much of ND's previous work (everything but TLoU2), but if the studio going under is what it takes to end Druckmann's tenure as studio head, then "Au revoir".

RIP Thief. Fingers crossed for console version of Gloomwood. Check out Blood West if you haven't heard of it, so good if you need a fix of Thief-like gameplay.

'Last week, Rockstar said the "extra months will allow us to finish the game with the few remaining employees we did not fire for joining a union". Fix'd.

@darylb24 It's no great mystery, but UK government prefers us not to speculate.

GTA would not work in UK. You would shoot someone and the police would (eventually) turn up to arrest the victim.

Guess I can remove this one from my Wish List.

@SeanOhOgain Sadly, "something new" in this instance is the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Druckmann has been trading on past glories for a long time now, and that line of credit has just about run dry.

@Oprahs_cellulite If you think the flowers are bad, just wait until you have to bounce on the bells.

Getting kinda' tired of every other boss summoning minions that hit as hard as the boss itself. Looking at you Savage Beastfly and Sister Splinter. Looking at the Reddit threads, I'm not the only one. Might take a break and wait for the inevitable difficuty patch.

@Logonogo IGN give everything an 8.

Can I get a "poorly optimized for consoles"?

Neclord-themed pachinko machine here we come.

Even a ***** clock is right twice a day.

But wait, how can this be?! Is this not the perfect game?!

Seeing Star Wars Outlaws described as a must-play title made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Looks awesome! Glad someone is making the next great ND(like) game, whilst Druckmann pisses the company's reputation into the wind.

Fingers crossed for couch co-op/splitscreen - although this might tempt me to revive my PS Plus subscription.

Astrobot is great, but I am so done with these Challenge levels.

That's like saying; "Sure, Nintendo has Mario, but Playstation has Super Onion Boy."

Hoping for unexpected new level being added to Hitman 3 as part of showcase.
Excited for Bond also.

Just one game plz. If they split this up like they did FF7 it's another hard pass from me.

I have Prodeus now, I don't need another Doom game ever again.

Considering the number of ND projects she is appearing in - and her comments about Druckmann being a god, I can only assume "bootcamp-ing" is some kind of euphemism.

Not a fan of her as an actress, and I loathe Druckmann in any creative capacity, so not super hyped about this one.

If the last few video game/comic book movies from Sony are any indication of quality, I would rather they didn't.

I wouldn't trust Druckmann to ***** in a bucket.

I'm enjoying it. Probably thoe closest thing we're gonna' get to a Tenchu game this generation, especially when Ubisoft start adding supernatural elements via the DLC.

Waiting for 50% markdown. I only want S2, and it would have been a day one sale if I could buy S2 on its own.

As much as I love Astrobot, this new level was "meh". It's a time trial level without a timer (or the two little birds). It is free, but still... meh.

Guess they finally ran out of ways to remake Skyrim.

Wonder how much Disney money has changed hands for reviewers to mitigate the drubbing Sonic 3 is gonna' give to Mufasa in the immediate future.

No issues with a female lead, but anything that reminds me of the existence of Sony's trainwreck Uncharted movie is an instant downvote.

@cburg sigh Can you play Shadow Of The Erdtree on its own, without already owning Elden Ring?
Yes: It is a full blown, standalone game. Well done, you were right all along.
No: It is DLC for an existing product.
Good talk.

Do you know what else is nice to have? £700.

No DLC cos the dev team are all busy on their CVs.

Setting aside all the the woke nonsense for a moment, the game deserves to go down in flames due to how Bioware attempted to control the narrative and manipulate critical reception.

"IGN ran the numbers", lol. IGN are about as trustworthy as a fart in diarrhoea clinic.

Ah, so it's going to be *****. Good to know!

So much for this being a AAAA gaming experience.

Loathed it. I would not p*ss on this game if it was on Firaga.

@Ludacritz That's what Hasbro does. This whole enterprise is gonna' crash hard.

Squenix gonna' be the Warner Bros of the videogame world.
