PHWOAR!

One of the best things about duke was all the secrets, often quite imaginative and required some time to track down (I must've spent weeks checking out maps long after all monsters were killed*) - although I would say the quality got worse throughout the game. The weapons were also a interesting set. Also much fun was had multiplayer on the stadium map at school.

pfff

Transistor I thought was a little meh (that might just be me),

It's sure to capture the attention of anyone who sees it in action. Thankfully, the game more than backs up its aesthetic prowess with rewarding combat and exploration systems in place. While the combat hardly changes over the course of the adventure, Apotheon asks the player to apply their knowledge in such a wide variety of ways that it constantly feels fresh and exciting. The ancient Greeks valued balance and harmony in their art, and Alientrap has accomplished just that.

What impressed me most about Apotheon is the variety and constant freshness of the levels. Every stage is built completely around the theme of its associated god. Poseidon’s area has an ocean to sail around in, allowing you to visit dungeons on various islands or swim around in underwater cave networks searching for hidden treasure. Ares’ temple is soaked with gushing blood rivers, and its berserk inhabitants are forced to kill each other constantly. Athena resides in a massive spinning labyrinth loaded with traps and clever puzzles requiring dexterity and brain power. My favorite area is Artemis’ forest, which is populated with rare creatures to hunt topped off with a creative boss battle. As part of a hunting challenge, you take turns as the hunter and the hunted, trading off between human and deer form. The constant shakeup in themes prevents things from getting stale and always had me looking forward to the next surprising stage.

The action feels satisfying, combat is fun, and there are also a few nice surprises when it comes to gameplay, both as far as boss fights are concerned and in the presence of puzzles, particularly in the levels involving Athena, making the whole package even more attractive.

A combat-heavy, side-scrolling jaunt through the wonderfully unhinged realm of Ancient Greek mythology. Apotheon unites presentation and theme to tremendous effect through its stylised, Grecian pottery worlds.

I've just started Infamous: First Light from last month. It's a bit boring, init?

Rogue Legacy: Me likey!

Cannot. Stop. Playing.

Cept to type this. This shit is like crack.

BTW my PS gamer tag is 'Bobbyaro' if anyone wants to befriend me.

I can't find you on the phone app.

Is that Oddworld game any good? I think I played about thirty seconds of one about twenty years ago or whenever it was, it was hilarious because it made fart noises.

Me either.

Sure you created a PSN ID and not just a local account, Bobs?

I don't really know what to do then! I can't even figure out where to add a friend!

Tbh I don't have a clue what you've done.

I've just been on the phone app. Assuming that've you've got at least 1 BeeX friend you can click on their friends (scroll to the bottom of their profile and click on friends) and then send requests my clicking on whatever names and "send friend request".

I've just grabbed a three month membership as I quite fancy some of the free games this month. I went through adding them to download and it seems, rather fucking stupidly, that it just tries to download all of them at the same time. So instead of getting Valiant Hearts downloaded and playable before it starts on the rest I've just got four games crawling down at the same time. That's a bit stupid.

there doesn't seem to be any way to pause the downloads on the PS4.

You know you can't play the games once your three months are up, right?
