Same. I enjoyed a lot of what I played but I don’t get on well with metroidvanias. So I only played a couple of hours before I either got lost or died too often to a boss.

I recently got myself an Anbernic, it’s the one which looks like the GBA, see through plastic and all. It’s a surprisingly competent little console. It even comes preloaded with a shed load of retro games. I’ve been enjoying playing games from systems I missed out on growing up.
My family had about 5 of these between us by the time we started getting into lites and 3d versions. I had the original chunky boy and a 3ds. We took them on holiday and played the brain training multiplayer games. Great fun, my parents even got into them for a bit and they said off video games a long time beforehand.
Depending on what you’re going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.
It’s very similar but nowhere near as good. I got it for free on playstation a while back and stopped playing it to go back and play the dead space remake again.
Snap I’m about to go to the innermost zone. Really enjoying it so far. The vibes are great. It’s mostly chill with some intense oh god I’m going to die moments mixed in.
Of course it would be rude not to.
I’ll add it to my wishlist and keep an eye out.
Ooo, colour me intrigued. I loved the Dungeon keeper games back in the day. Are we talking spiritual successor or just invokes some of the same feelings?
I’ve spent so long on Noita, I love it and it treats me so badly. I’m really not very good at it. I’ve barely scratched the surface and largely stopped after I had a successful (basic no secrets) run. I still go back to nuke myself into oblivion every now and then. I do love setting everything on fire.
Have you tried the ps5 controller? Genuinely my favourite thing about the ps5. The adaptive triggers and the haptics are so good. The battery life feels better too. That was my biggest complaint about the 4s especially compared to the ps3s, those lasted for weeks.
I wanted to love Quantum Break so much but it was just a buggy mess on my pc, I spent hours messing with settings but it just wouldn’t run smoothly. I still managed to push through to mission 4 or so. Maybe I’ll give it another go.
I’m working my way through forbidden west as well. I’m really enjoying it. It’s always good to spend more time in an interesting game world. I really appreciate the more free form climbing system in this one, not quite breath of the wild climbing but way better than grab the yellow ledges only.
I love hearing about DF but it’s so dense that I was never able to get into it myself. Plus I struggled with the art, or lack of it on the earlier builds.
My wife was playing Ori around its release, we both got stuck on the first tree escape, where it floods. Absolutely massive difficulty spike for a relatively chill game to that point. Beautiful game though and I love the sound track.
The Wii brought gaming to the general public in a way nothing else had. Like most modern Nintendo consoles it was under powered and gimmicky but the gimmick worked so well for people new to gaming, point at the TV or wiggle the controller as you would to do the thing in real life was a huge step to making an abstract concept make sense to people. For longer gaming sessions or more “serious” games the Wii controls were generally lacking but damn if Wii sports wasn’t good fun.
I adore the walking dead games, they totally spoiled the TV show for me as the characters were soo much better. Lee and Clem at the end of the first game was such an emotional gut punch, one of the few times a game made me cry.
Of course he’s a silent protagonist in 1 isn’t he! I’d totally forgotten that.
I love the Dead space remake. I’ve nearly finished it. It’s how I remember the original looking and how I hoped it would play. I love that they added the full zero g movement from the later games and they fixed the asteroid shooting section. It’s actually fun now! The regenerator is still as much of a bastard as I remember too. It’s a brilliant remake of one of my favourite games.
This looks real interesting. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it and see what the reviews say.
