lolzy

Just want to chime in as someone that has played both:

Both games have a nostalgic longing for games of the 90s, but that is about the only similarity between them!

Sea of Stars is charming, but I’d say it doesn’t hold a candle to Tunic. Still worth checking out as it’s on Game Pass, but I just wanted to bring another opinion to the table

Controller is just fine for our 4-player party. Having played Divinity on PC, I know kb+m will be easier but I didn’t think controller was particularly restrictive.

The tutorial segment is very weird for Remnant. My partner died before the ‘final stand’ segment of it (and before she had even seen all the control prompts) and she was shown the cutscene and dropped off at the Ward!

The game is definitely Souls-lite, and some of the bosses can be brutal (I have not finished my first run of the game, for reference), but I found it to be a fun time with friends. And it appears number 2 dials things up and addresses some of my issues with the game.

This batch of games feels so incredibly specific for me. I’ve just got through the bulk of Starfield and I’m looking forwards to playing other games alongside it, so this is the perfect batch to get lost in for the next few weeks!

Obviously different marketing preferences, but I hadn’t stopped hearing about this game for months

I can wake up, and go 10+ hours without meeting/requiring a single human need, but as soon as I then acknowledge that I should be doing those, all the sensations hit me at once.

Nothing quite like having to prioritise all base needs at once!

If you’re currently in no position to go private, then the first thing to do is get in contact with your GP. My local GP allowed me to fill in some details about my issue, and they’d contact me to dicuss it further.

I was asked to collect some questionnaires to determine the impact of any symptoms on my life. Now, at this stage, you should request to be referred via ‘Right to Choose’ along with a suitable private clinic, such as PsychiatryUK. I think I did this but was ignored and referred to my local NHS psychiatry unit with it’s wonderful 4 year backlog (18 months on the list so far!)

I had to appeal to doctor’s initial decision as there was a lack of evidence, so be prepared to provide school reports etc to defend your stance.

Get on the NHS/Right to Choose waitlists as soon as possible, and then you can pay for private if the funds come up first! Hope this helps!
