I enjoyed my time with it. Working out the correct path was fun though I was really disappointed that there was only 1 path and to finish the game you just followed the objective marker. There were some fun moments though and I enjoyed the powers and the repeating elements. The endings were pretty poor I agree. I think it really depends how much the core gameplay appeals to you as to how much you’d enjoy it.

I really enjoyed it, have you started getting the upgrade paths for the pistol yet? Love that feature, it kept the iconic pistol relevant for the whole game.

I mean this feels like it should be illegal. Another reason to not buy Ubisoft games I guess.

I can see a pic of Wolfenstein the new order.

Excellent game. I love dual wielding the automatic shotguns. Soo satisfying.

Both of them are excellent, blood and wine especially as it really nicely ends Geralt’s story. Also Tuson (sp?) is just beautiful.

Dragons dogma 1 and 2 fit the bill I think. 2 more so than the first.

Any recommendations on the mods? There are loads!

My wife and I have been playing Vintage Story. We’re really enjoying it. It’s a block survival game ala Minecraft but it’s much nicer to look at and the mechanics are way more in depth.

We’re in our first winter currently and doing things around the house we built at the start of the cold season (so we can stay close to somewhere warm). We’ve just made our first windmill and are building a chicken coop and making our farm look nicer with fences and paths. I’ve just started tanning to make leather using barrels full of borax and tannins (which you get by soaking oak logs in water for a day or so).

It’s also highly customisable with the world gen/ server settings and mods. For example we’ve moved our default spawn to our base and have a mod that sets spawn at beds for when we are off exploring.

It’s in early access but there’s definitely enough game to justify the cost at present.

Any of the Mobas from their reputations.

That’s so cool.

Looks like Elite dangerous, I’m just trying to work out what ship you’re in?

Have you tried VR? How does it compare to the sim set up?

The original is one of my favourite games of all time. I love everything about it. The setting is phenomenal. The mix of plasmids and gunplay. 2 is also really good and being able to use gun and plasmid simultaneously was a great quality of life improvement.

Playing some more of DA: Veilguard. My wife is desperate for me to finish it so she can discuss the ending with me. I’m really enjoying how dynamic the combat is definitely the most fun from an action perspective on the series, less tactical but more technical with the parries and dodges. I’m digging the found family vibes too, it’s just nice to hang out with some good mutually supportive people sometimes rather than loads of conflict drama.

One of my favourite RPGs from growing up. Such a cool game. I loved the variety of builds you can make. Have you tried playing a low INT character yet? Really entertaining. Totally new dialogue options. Honestly though the main thing I remember is that metal door sound effect they use for basically everything.

How are you liking 4? I really enjoyed 3 but haven’t picked up 4 yet. Does it stack up?

Hell yeah it did. I spent 10 minutes sat on a bench not doing anything and it was some of the tensest and best gameplay I’ve had in a multiplayer game.

I really enjoyed my play through. It’s a genuinely beautiful game.

I really enjoyed Tunic. I loved collecting all the pages and learning about the world. I had to turn the difficulty down for the final boss as it just wasn’t fun but everything else was great. The ending was really good after I found all the collectables. Though I did look up where to find them after working out what I was looking for.

I’ve played an hour or so and enjoyed it so far. I hope you have fun with it.

Inside is good, less story heavy and more fascinating world that makes you think. It’s pretty short and maybe not quite what you’re after but as it’s often on sale dirt cheap and like 2 hours long it’s probably worth a look.

You could also look at American Arcadia. I’ve not finished it yet but it’s pretty good so far and fits your bill for side scrolling with story focus.
