I'm in much the same position after the reveal. I was on the fence and I still am. I had an Xbox One and sold it recently after I swapped my PS4 for a Pro, mainly due to the lack of exclusive titles. I tend to play cross-platform games on PC so the Xbox One was getting very little use. My main...

I think I must be one of the few that's really enjoying this. It's very enjoyable and the combat is particularly good this time round. Some of the AI is a bit dumb but it feels great to play. It's still frustrating as hell though, as with a few more months in development it could have been...

Cannot praise this game enough. It's one of the few games I felt compelled to platinum, and I literally wanted to see everything it had to offer. It's been a great year on PS4 so far with Nioh and Nier Automata also being excellent, but this is another level. Gameplay mechanics were spot on, and...

I've barely used my PC for the last few months. I'm at 1440p with GTX 970's in SLI, and it's obvious Nvidia's support for SLI is getting worse by the day, and I think it's due to the number of people who originally went for this set up when the 900 series came out. Of course they need to sell...

I'm currently using the spear and dual swords. I actually really like the spear so far. The heavy attack on mid-stance can stagger most enemies in a couple of hits, but it does feel a little cheap at times because of the incredibly long reach. It's not the quickest though, and in tight spaces...

You're not alone on that one. I strode in there confident having downed the first two bosses on the first attempt thinking I was gonna do the same, only to have my dreams shattered within seconds. Took me several attempts before I even came close to defeating her. Once I had the timing though...

Games I keep returning to are few and far between these days. Most of the ones I can think of off the top of my head have been mentioned, but some are: TLOU Remastered: Ever since discovering how much more rewarding playing on Grounded mode was. Dark Souls/Bloodborne: I just never get tired...

Very much in doubt for me. I was thinking seriously about it for a while but I recently sold my Xbox One due to lack of exclusive games, and no interesting ones on the horizon. Basically, everything that comes out on Xbox One I can now play on my PC anyway. Microsoft need to seriously sort...

Literally just started installing so I'm pretty much ready to go. Been looking forward to this for ages. If it's even half as good as Bloodborne then I'm in for a great experience. From what I hear it's getting a very positive reaction, so signs are good.

Really enjoying this, it's convinced me that the game is well worth buying. The learning curve is pretty steep but not too severe, the various mechanics work very well, and the boss was a lot of fun. Got my ass handed to me a few times until I figured out exactly what I was doing wrong. The...

Probably echoing what a lot have already said, but for me it's the escape, the story, the immersion, the challenge probably in that order. A good game can be as evocative as any movie or box set if done right, and the stories these days are pretty elaborate. It's that which provides the...

Was never a fan of Ico or SotC so I was skeptical at best with this one. I was watching closely, but having seen the awful frame rate, plus laughable camera and dodgy controls I'll be giving it a miss. I do hope the game does well though as it's been years in development, and I reckon those...

Wasn't interested in the PS4 Pro before. Doesn't seem much of an upgrade but now I'm seriously considering it. I know this trailer gives very little away but the first game is one of my all time favourites, and I've been gaming over 30 years. I know Naughty Dog will deliver something...

I'd love to know how this will run at 1440p for me. Can't really find anything conclusive, so wondering if anyone might have an idea. I have: i7 4790k @ 4ghz, 16GB RAM, GTX 970 SLI My worry is that there's not gonna be any SLI support, and I've heard a few reports of the game running like...

Took a punt on this. The original was alright despite the many flaws so thought it was worth a go. So far, it's a very nice step up from the first, with a much more interesting main character, better world, and more interesting missions (so far at least). Gotta say, I'm having a great time...

This isn't an easy one as there were no true classics for me this year. The best thing I've played is Witcher 3: Blood & Wine but as it's an expansion I don't think it qualifies so here goes a sort of top 5 in terms of hours played and enjoyment had from said games. 1. Dark Souls 3 - Not...

I'm currently running 2 MSI GTX 970's in SLI and gaming at 1440p. I'm very happy with the setup and am running all games either completely or virtually maxed at this resolution. Having no issues with heat or noise either. When SLI isn't supported I find that it's not really required to be...

Witcher 3 - This seems to have been covered several times already so probably no need to add more. This was gaming perfection in every sense. Life Is Strange - A real gem of a game and one I really expected to hate. I can't remember a game that had quite the emotional impact on me that this one...

Shadow Warrior 2 - most fun I've had in a fps since Doom. Doesn't take itself too seriously, and has that unashamed old school vibe. It also runs beautifully, and looks very impressive at times. Took me an hour or so before I started to appreciate it, but it quickly became a real blast.

I'm the only person I know that really didn't like the first game. Not sure what it was but something didn't click. Didn't feel great to play and I didn't like the graphical style. I even preferred Thief...and that was a very average game at best. However, something about this sequel somehow...
