God of War. Was always a bit curious about it but I'm not normally a fan of hack and slash type games so that put me off. Really glad I decided to give it a go, I'm playing on easy just to make the combat more forgiveable but there's so much more to it than that anyway. The story is great, the exploration is really enjoyable and the environments are pretty vast. It's completely surpassed my expectations, and has got me quite excited for Ragnarok now whereas before it wasn't even on my radar.

Maquette. Quite enjoying it!
I was once I turned the volume off and played music. I didn't like the weird exchanges one bit.
It's a weird one for sure. I feel it may get better but I wasnt really enjoying it until ten hours in.

It gets worse as you have to repeat the whole game multiple times to get the full story.
Yeah I saw that, to be fair if I ever finish even one playthrough that will probably be enough.

Been playing the outrider demo on PS5 and enjoyed it. I do hope they fix some of the lip sync issues before launch.
Might get Division 2 to tide me over unti lOutriders launches.

Dirt 5, completely underwhelming. Looks great and the first couple of races are fun until you realise there is no variation, just race after race in the same format. Think I've been spoilt but the Forza Horizon series.

Just finished Jedi Fallen Order, that ending though. Really enjoyed it all the way through, amazing graphics, sound, combat, never felt repetitive which is something I generally hate with games and for once I followed the story so it must have been good.

I'm guessing you didn't go for completing the crates/secrets etc?
It was great, but not sure how it can be said to not feel competitive given the game design forces you be unable to reach the next stage on maps, requiring you to learn a new skill else where and to then return and go through the same areas you've just done. If the game was do 1 map and finish en do next and finish, it'd have been half the length imo. Its the one thing I was annoyed about the game. Going through that sith dusty planet was Particularly annoying
The Metroidvania elements in the game were actually some of the things I enjoyed most about it. I am a sucker for those types of exploration - blocked path, learn skill, go back to blocked path - games though.

Nah I'm not a completionist, I rarely ever do things like that and just play the story once its done its done. I rarely ever buy DLC either.
If I was to pick fault with it then yeah the hopping back to a planet you've just been to was a bit WTF but when I was there shredding through it I enjoyed it

Actually while I'm here I'm not sure what to play next, I have Desperados 3 installed, is that any good?

If you're into that genre, it's excellent!

I kind of downloaded it thinking it was RTS which is unusual for console, is it an RTS how would you describe it?
No, it’s tactical rather than strategical. It’s closer to Hitman than Starcraft.
Just give it a go.
Sort of like the commandos games back in the 90’s?
I wasn’t playing video games back then. Give it a go, it’s included with game pass.
