The last game you completed, and rating (Console Edition)

Ghost Of Yotei 8.5/10 - I really enjoyed it, yes it's more of the same, but very well executed with plenty to do without turning into a Ubi grind. Graphics and Soundtrack are superb and very atmospheric too.
 
Satisfactory - 10/10
I am biased. Been playing the PC version for years since alpha days and followed the devs heavily throughout their journey with the game. Seeing such a brilliant title on the console that has such a superb control scheme is a joy to see. Just finished the research tiers with 111hrs played, which I did rush towards the end. Still got a ton of stuff to do though ie improve on power generation and finish the Ficsmas Christmas event!
 
RDR2 - finally got around to playing it after refusing to play at 30 FPS on playstation for years. Managed to complete it on my Legion Go S averaging above 40 FPS which was perfect with the VRR screen. Amazing game. I played the original RDR years ago and didn't like it much but loved this one. The level of detail in this game is unreal. 9.5/10

Ohhh, interesting. Didn't realise that was on console.

I've got Factorio for my PC and thought if I bought Satisfactory on there I wouldn't play it.

Been looking for a PS5 game for over Christmas though.
 
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance
10/10 - I loved this from start to finish (even if a couple of the rifts were preposterously hard)

It really vibes on Revenge but the platforming feels like Bionic Commando Rearmed (i.e. extremely precise).
 
It Takes Two - PS5. 8/10.

Played with wifey who is a non-gamer - so very frustrating at times, but fun watching her getting better!

Great story and effects so kept wifey interested - she has NEVER been interested in gaming. So much so, she has asked what we are playing next!

Split Fiction or A Way Out?!
 
Red Dead Redemption 1 - Talk to a NPC, ride your horse for 10 minutes across a barren landscape, auto aim lock on kill tons of enemies then repeat for 20 hours.

People rave about how good the story is but most of the characters in the game just waste your time asking you to do one more pointless favour over and over again. Also, considering how many hundreds of enemies you mow down with relative ease during the game the ending makes no sense.

Voice acting is top notch.

Very disappointing game considering RDR 2 is one of my favourite games.

3/5

You make some good points. I however much preferred RDR 1 to 2. Its probably in my top 5 of all time. I felt RDR 2 was just a more tedious version of 1, I think it improved every aspect of the game over 1 with the exception of the core game play loop.
 
Robocop Rogue City - 8/10. Quite short but very fun. Really gives a good feeling of being Robocop, basically a walking tank taking out numerous bad guys

Playing Split Fiction with my non gamer OH and it's great. Completely with you on the frustration though :p

Might do the opposite and try ITT after this!

Some say AWO can be boring in places? Whereas i have read SF is better than ITT!

Hence why i went with SF first. I do want us to play AWO though at some point.

SF is pretty constant in terms of gameplay with different challenges consistently. Only boring place is waiting for your OH to catch you up :cry:
 

A Way Out available in the Jan 26 pre-sale - £4.49.
 
Dead Synchronicity.

Dodgy adventure game with terrible voice acting and a weird story. I bought it for about a fiver during lockdown and only just got around to playing it. I wish I hadn't bothered lol.

3/10.
 
Some I've recently completed

Cronos: The New Dawn 88 - A great traditional-like survival horror in an immersive setting, and I found the story engaging (if a little obscure).
Terminator 2D: No Fate 78 - A short but fun and replayable arcade style run-and-gunner from the 90s, except not from the 90s.
Metroid Prime 4 72 - Level and encounter design are lacking, but plays well with some stand-out moments and can be a treat for the senses.
Huntdown 93 - Well refined and polished retro run-and-gun, fun bosses, challenging but forgiving.
Hades 2 95 - Mechanically and visually my favourite game released this year, addictive game loop with a lot of depth.
Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways 90 - Great DLC side campaign to one of my favourite games ever.

Dying Light: The Beast. 5/10
One of the most disappointing games I've played for a long time. It was clearly supposed to be DLC for Dying Light 2 as it's very short in content. Most of the missions involved going to the other side of the map and back, I suspect to make it seem like the game was longer than it is.
I'm also very annoyed that no reviews I saw pointed out that it was blatantly DLC :mad: After a few hours it was obvious, yet the reviews I saw praised it as some sort of huge upgrade from Dying Light 2.
 
Dispatch - 8.5/10

From the former members of Telltale, Ubisoft comes a superhero dispatch game with a great story and an art style that mirrors the Invincible animated TV show.

You play as a super hero dispatcher in charge of a bunch of muppets. You can send them all on missions to help various folks in the city and as you do so, you can improve on their stats and unravel the greater story that is unfolding. All the super hero's are well fleshed out with the main character being voiced by Aaron "Science!!" Paul from Breaking Bad.

Definitely need to replay it again with different choices. I would have rated this higher if it wasn't for the infuriating hacking minigame that occasionally pops up and just detracts from the game a lot. Gameplay is 8 episodes long and rather short on the whole. According to my PSN stat for this game - I've finished it in 8hrs...

Resident Evil 5 (PS4) - 3/10.

Wow what a stinker.

I've been playing it co-op with a friend over Christmas and this game is just....awful. The story is stupid and the boss fights are just so ridiculously long and drawn out. Not to mention cryptic as hell in some cases. It's like the game was designed to be as annoying as possible. And the QTE's during cut-scenes... oh my Lord. Give me strength.
