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 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.

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 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 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

Speaking of Souls-likes, I just cannot get on with Wo Long.

I’m trying really hard to enjoy it but, fuck me, it’s both difficult and extremely annoying. Too much going on, attacks that you can’t possibly dodge or parry, and I’m not sure if I should be playing it like Dark Souls or Sekiro. The game keeps telling me it’s Sekiro but I can’t seem to parry anything outside of the sodding boss fights.

I reckon it’s got me beat. I just can’t be arsed.

Sable ‘free’ on PS+ at the mo, is very nice so far. I remember tech demos popping up on Twitter yonks back. Worth a look just for the novelty of feeling like your inside a Moebius comic.

Getting a little bit of time in with Forza Motorsport, online with friends and randoms. Quite enjoying it most of the time, unexpectedly - the matchmaking seems to be doing a half decent job of steering away from first corner warriors (60% of the time)

Post subject:  Re: What's Everyone Playing?

I really wanted to enjoy Sable but it was just…boring. I wanted to get out into the world and explore this terrific art style, do some parkour and kill some beasties but it had me stuck talking to folks at a hub and doing some fetch quests that didn’t even have quest markers so I didn’t know where they were cause I was skipping the text so fucking hard cause it was boring.

I should really find some kind of Souls-like that’s decent but there’s nothing out there as far as I know. Oh, maybe that new Lords of the Fallen. That’s the only recent one I’m aware of.

Make sure you keep that pre-endgame save or you'll have to play through again for the DLC

I restarted this again recently top check out version 2.0 and also the next gen upgrade. I was enjoying all the 2.0 improvements but did about 25 hours before before realising that I was only playing the PS4 version. Unsurprisingly the PS5 version looks way better. It's such a shame they couldn't have got it to this state before it launched, I didn't hate it first time around but now it's an absolute masterpiece.

Moonscars. It’s good! Very gothy, slash em up platformer. Bit like Blasphemous / Dead Cells. “Free” on whatever level my PS+ is.

I've played that, the animation is sublime. I got a fair way but I don't think I finished it. Not sure why.

Author:  Satsuma [ Wed Jan 03, 2024 18:14 ]

I think I started it and then they took it off Game Pass before I’d cleared enough backlog to get stuck into it.

I’ve stopped playing Moonscars because of Armoured Core 6.

It’s harsh! I still like it though… very very From, the first section is basically wow this is easy to WTF boss fight THEN you get tutorials and parts shop opening up to you.

Cheers.

Currently playing…

Dead Soace remaster PS5
It looks great, but feels slightly different to the original, gameplay wise. It might be an improvement, but I’m not digging out the original to compare. I haven’t got to the difficulty spike that was that zero g cannon emplacement yet, which was my only bugbear with the original

Fallout 4 (steam deck) I’ve got past the place I stopped playing the original on PS4. It’s Fallout. I’ve paused it for a bit while playing other things

Super Mario Bros Wonder (switch)
Well. This is good fun and quite inventively so

Weirdly I’m finding this game much easier now… not sure if it’s down to me ‘gittin gud’ or finding a couple of sweet spots buildwise that have got me through most things straight away. Blasted through Arena rankings FAR more easily between C to A. Really enjoying this game but man, some of those early sections are cruel.

Post subject:  Re: What's Everyone Playing?

Midnight Suns on Steamdeck (thanks again gazchap). Most fun I've had with a game for a long time. The heroes are brilliantly realised in battle, attacks feel meaty, and every mission, even just a vanilla defeat all enemies affair, always has some interesting strategic decisions to make.

Perhaps that will change as I gravitate towards specific builds and team combos, but at the moment am really enjoying it.

The stuff around the Abbey is ridiculous, obviously, but even that operates as a pleasing breather between missions.
