Days Gone here as well. It’s lovely at 60fps. Going to stick with it to the end.

True Colors was great. Nice story and not too long.

Started it yesterday, looks like I will enjoy it, the HDR is really screwed up in this though, needed to tweak it quite a bit as it suffers from raised blacks.

Agreed, my favourite of the LiS games so far. The Wavelengths DLC episode is good too.

I’ve sold the game on now but would consider a future play through including the DLC. I’ll keep an eye out in the sales. I’ve enjoyed all of them but yeah this one was really good.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - I think I've completed it.

It was a good game just way too long. About 60 hours just to complete the story and kill the order. 20 would have sufficed.

Currently playing through The Quarry, pretty good so far, graphics are amazing, story is pretty good too it's got that typical American summer camp vibe to it. The controls are a little clunky in places, obviously you have to go in expecting to watch 80% of it is cutscenes and the rest is walking about looking for clues and making decisions

It's the last instalment of my God of War marathon. Ascension - not really liking this very much. The combat is really bad now. Some of the set pieces in it, in terms of the environment, are amazing though.

Enjoying playing Valorant at the minute after getting sick of the toxicity and cheaters on CS:GO but still wanted a competitive game to play.

Quality game. It’ll be my main game until the end. It gets better and better.

Yeah I've been at it non-stop. Just taken a very ill Boozer to a big camp in the south - Lost Lake? Story is definitely picking up! Enjoying it more and more.

Ah yes, I’m a few missions along in that camp. Visually impressive, audio on point, gameplay really fun especially as you add more skills and weapons to your arsenal. Don’t want it to end tbh. Even doing loads of the side content. The plot/characters are well written.

I mean it feels like I am playing the last of us in an open world. No bad thing I reckon! Hordes are fun! I’ve taken one out but I need access to way more bombs and stuff before I take on the big ones. Stealth is done well as is melee.

Yup, that was my first thought. I’ve taken down the horde in the train by the Nero checkpoint, but need far more equipment, the other hordes are huge. Really enjoying the crossbow and Sawbat! I’ve basically levelled up melee and little else. Aiming to increase my inventory storage for bombs and the like next.

Just increased my item carry makes a huge difference for carry max items and 6 Molotov’s! Not touched melee yet I’ll do that once I’ve maxed survival.

It's such a pity that ~~Jim Ryan~~ Bend studio management dismissed Days Gone 2. Maybe we'll get a sequel ~~when he's cleared off~~ some day.

Less than 48 hours for the PS+ changeover. Really looking forward to playing Returnal and Ghost of Tsushima on Thursday.

I’ve held off buying both of those, turns out it was a good call. Looks like my XSX isn’t going to get used for a while.

Glad to see people enjoying days gone. Probably my game of last gen. I don’t usually complete games anymore. But I’ve been through it twice now !

Just bought it cheap on Ebay, my PS4 was only really ever used for GTA during lockdowns and VR for a brief spell. Always wanted to give this ago, will likely get onto it sometime during winter

I’ve just checked where I am at. Just go to the point if no return where the first 3 regions are locked out. Apparently that’s around 50% of the game. Man this game is loooong but I am having a blast so I am ok with that.

Savour it! I was gutted when it was over
