Games you're playing, and games...

Just wrapped up Plague Tale Requiem, a masterpiece, I really enjoyed the first one but this one just takes everything up a level.

Was undecided when I found it was not going to be 60fps so was going to hold off but the style of game that it is really wasn't an issue at all, a few choppy bits but overall a phenomenal game
Bit the bullet yesterday and I’ve been playing it all afternoon. Just so good. Like you I was worried about 30fps but it’s fine in a game like this. Beautiful game and loving it so far. So many rats!

I’m about half way and it’s been absolutely spectacular so far. I seem to be used to 30fps now and I see what they mean about there being so many rats on screen (up to 30000 apparently!). It is terribly optimised though, but with vrr I’ve not had any significant slow downs.

I’ll finish this over the next week or so and then into GoW I guess.
 
Going to replay the first, then buy the new one - looking forward to it, as the first was such an incredible game.

I'm about done with Sniper Elite 5 - think I'm on the second to last mission, might do some co-op with a mate after, and I've done a few invasions which can be quite funny.

Plenty to tide me over whilst I wait to nab a copy of the new COD at a reasonable price.
 
Inscryption… I’m not sure if I’m just trash at card games or what, but I can’t get passed the snow map on act 1. Given up for now. Game isn’t anywhere near as gripping as my friends led me to believe.

I downloaded that this afternoon played a few hours, I saw it was getting very positive reviews but I can't really see what the fuss is about, i'm not really engaged in what i'm doing at all just seems a bit boring?

Funny as i loved that Witcher Thronebreaker card game

Funny that you mention Witcher. As I loved gwent in W3!


I can see what they’re trying to do with inscryption but it just isn’t grabbing me, I can’t see what the fuss is about either.. I heard act 2 isn’t very good either so sorta cbb to carry on.


Slay the spire is great, I really liked that one ! @Plainsong
 
Ugh trying to get Creed Valhalla completed for like the 8th time and its just a bore fest.

Combat is just lackluster.
 
Currently playing Deathloop and Plague Requiem.
Enjoying Requiem, DeathLoop not so much - just heading to the flat in the first bit - is it worth continuing, does it get better?. maybe need to give it more time
Just don't seem to enjoy the gameplay / mechanics.
If i drop it I may try Scorn instead.

Also on Deathloop. The gun mechanics are god awful.

Enjoying it but i imagine it'll get slow soon with all the repetition.

I loved it on PC, but I can't imagine Deathloop is much fun with a controller.
 
Just finished up Sniper Elite 5 - certainly the best of the series in terms of setting and gameplay; just felt a lot more slick and polished.

Onto a re-play of A Plague Tale before grabbing the new one!
 
Started Guardians of The Galaxy and it’s ok. Looks lovely and the dialogue is great but it’s very simplistic and a bit repetitive with the combat. Thought I’d have a change of pace after all the Yakuza games I’ve been playing lately but lo and behold I had a quick go at Lost Judgment earlier and I am already hooked. I’ll dip in and of Guardians but will mainly stick with LJ as it’s more my kind of thing.

Also got Nioh 2 in the go and that is also great.

Still working my way through re-playing the first Plague Tale, loving it, such an incredible game; though it's been interesting during cutscenes - my daughter is called Amicia so keeps looking at the TV :D

Fitted a Samsung 1TB 980 drive too, as I was getting sick of Division 2 not updating, as it needed ~100GB with every update.

Ha nice it’s a lovely name. Also playing Requiem at weekends together with my wife. She doesn’t play but likes to watch the stories play out. Probably 2/3 or so through it and it’s brilliant so far.
 
I'm juggling a few games at the min vampire survivors, gunfire reborn and last hero of nostalgia.

I had some psn credit so in the black Friday sale I bought Diablo 3 ultimate (d3 plus all dlc and d2), cult of the lamb, rollerdrome and valkarie elysium. I have £26 left I might save it to see if anything else gets added.
 
I’m having to force myself to complete GOW Ragnarok.

The combo combat is a chore and just has no sense of fluidity and the story is boring. So far just over half way through.

Also got Ghost of Tsushima on sale and it just feels so much more polished with fluid fun combat compared to Ragnarok.

The problem is Ragnarok cost almost £70 so I want my money’s worth. :(
