Be Excellent To Each Other

That PS extra sub is very good value!

+1

I'm on with another by the same people, Resurrection. Similar type of deal. I really like it. Best going into it without finding out anything else about it, though.

I am dead - you are dead and have to find objects to commune with the other dead. It's a bit like being in an episode of the Archers. It's enjoyable and the art is nice. Also has a robot in it, so gets an extra point for that. Considerably better than Dark Souls.

Demon’s Souls PS5 - I played a bit of this on PS3 way back (I think someone loaned it me?) and half remember some sections. It’s quite tough, I like it.

Returnal PS5 - It’s tough, I like it but not as much as Demon’s Souls.

Has anyone played Trombone Champ? I so desperately want to have a go, but we don’t have a PC

It looks like so much fun.

I have, it's hilarious but there really isn't much to it.

Yeah, I. And see what you mean, but goodness, it looks like it would be great for a little while. Someone should take it along to the cottage for everyone to have a go.

Is anyone playing Marvel Snap on mobile? Deck building game. V polished and rather moreish. I'm a novice when it comes to such things, but enjoying it at the moment.

I'm playing it a bit, it's by Ben bride, the dude who made hearthstone, so it actually has a bit of depth to it.

I bought Fae Farm yesterday, because Nintendo sent me an email about it and I ordered it within minutes, and it’s everything I want in a game.

It’s in the same format of game as Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons, Stardew Valley kind of thing, but with added Animal Crossingness. But it’s better than Stardew, etc. It seems to be more expansive, and all of the annoying bits of gameplay that the previous games seem to have are smoothed right out. If you’re away from home when the day ends, no worry. You get a warning so you aren’t mid-fishing reel-in, and then it says goodnight and it’s next day without penalty. The mining/dungeons is less tedious, too.

PGA2k23 - hold x, release x,.click x,.click x. Crowd applauds, and there's some commentary. Remarkably cool and calm golf game.

Bass Your game - like Sega bass fishing but without any fun in it.

Assetto Vorsa competition - you drive a car really fast around a track. It's a twat to begin with and then without realizing you've done ten laps of Silverstone and are in a zen like state.

Soulsborne fans may want to check out Lies of P, free with Gamepass right now. It's really, really good.

Just can't stay away from GT7 at the moment. With VR and a wheel it's absolutely nuts, the best gaming experience I've had I think including anything that blew me away as a kid.

Late to the party but I’ve recently been loaned Cyberpunk 2077… it didn’t grab me at first but now I’m barrelling through it. Great characters and love how the quick hacks are similar to VATS from Fallout. Still baffled by some aspects though but I’ve not got stuck yet.

For me it's well and truly ascended to the category of 'one of the best videogames ever', I'm currently at 232 hours on my first playthrough, I do have the DLC expansion but am still flitting between the main game and expansion content (the expansion seamless integrates into Night City, which is excellent).

Some of the systems are a bit baffling early on and on a second playthrough I'll be doing some things differently, but generally speaking I think the game does a pretty good job of explaining itself.

One bit of advice I'd give to anyone is to play as a female character, I think she's much better voiced, and much more likeable, than the male V.

Also you can give yourself cracking norks.

I have a copy on order from Amazon, the PS4 version as it said I could upgrade it to PS5 for free

I have finished Lies of P.

If you took all of Fromsoft's Soulsborne games and put then in order of best to worst, Lies of P would go somewhere in the middle. It really is that good.

I will defo check it out, ta.

Whip?

Sort of, but it's also a scythe.

And it did.

I think it's great.

I bought a game on a whim yesterday. It’s called ‘The Last Campfire’, and it’s lovely. It was down to £2 in the sale (unfortunately we only put it on at 11pm and the sale ended at midnight on Switch, so didn’t have time to recommend it, but it’s worth sticking in a wishlist for the best sale event).

It’s a really beautiful, gentle puzzle game. The visuals and audio are beautiful. The narration sounds almost like Björk, and I looked up the narrator and she’s half Icelandic (makes sense). It’s just really peaceful and wonderful.

I enjoyed what I played but found I would regularly get very stuck, without a clue in terms of where to go next. May have been something to do with the iPad version I was playing, or may just have been me.

I tore through Cyberpunk 2077 and accidentally finished the main storyline. Really enjoyed it but wish I’d mopped up all the side quests along the way (I did do a lot of them, mind).

Might leave it a while then get the DLC
