@LtSarge Have you tried Wreckfest? That is also on Extra. I very briefly played it as I found out I wasn't in the mood for, so need to go back tomit and give it a proper chance.

@JohnnyShoulder Nope. It reminds me a bit of the PS1 game Destruction Derby. Might have to give it a try as well if I get a month of Extra, it looks pretty fun!

@LtSarge I've heard nothing but good things from people that have sunk some time into it, and there are more traditional races too. Can't remember if those were in Destruction Derby as all I can think of are those bowl like arenas.

After dabbling a lot in the racing genre, I've become a bit interested in the 2D fighting genre now. The thing is though that I don't know much about the games on offer. Just like with racing games, I primarily play these games in single-player mode, which is unfortunate because 2D fighting games are mostly known for the multiplayer aspect. So I'm wondering, are there any 2D fighting games that have a decent story mode? It doesn't have to be too long considering a lot of these games are fairly cheap.

The ones that have caught my interest are Injustice 2, Tekken 7, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Street Fighter V, Soul Calibur VI and Mortal Kombat 11.

@LtSarge Soul Calibur and Tekken are 3-D fighting games. As a single player game I prefer Soul Calibur.

I can’t really comment about the 2-D games since I don’t really play 2-D fighters.

@Ryall Thanks for the input, I'll keep Soul Calibur in mind!

@LtSarge
Not really my genre either but I did play through story modes and arcade modes with all characters (I think) on both Injustice games. I enjoyed them as it was obviously DC characters, many of whom I was already familiar with. The games had some nice touches and it's always a bonus being able to punch Superman in the head.

@LtSarge I can only speak to SoulCalibur and the two Iniustice games, but if I were to comment on the story aspects, I can’t even remember what the SoulCalibur story was. 😅 I’m sure it was decent enough, but at least I remember the Injustice story’s basic beats a couple years later. So I’d definitely give the nod to Injustice as far as story goes. It also has really good fighting mechanics and looks beautiful, especially Injustice 2.

Take all this with a grain of salt because I’m not very seasoned on the fighting game genre and like you have only dabbled in it from time to time. Having interest in the DC Universe helps make Injustice more attractive as well, so your mileage may vary.

@sorteddan @RogerRoger @Th3solution Sounds like I'll be getting Injustice then! Luckily, I already have the first game so I'll just buy the second one since it's dirt cheap right now (around €10). I also like DC so it's perfect for me.

I might also get Soul Calibur VI. So for now, I think I'm content with getting these two games. Thanks for the help guys!

@LtSarge I’ll be interested in what you think. I’m pretty sure you’ll like Injustice 1&2. And think you’ll like SoulCalibur VI also, even though it’s the weaker SP story, it has a really fun cast and has a pretty intricate character creator, which I always enjoy. Injustice has unlockable skins for the characters, which is fun also, but there’s some real satisfaction to be had by messing around with the SC char creator and making a crazy looking fighter and choosing what fighting style to attach to it.

Infamous second son is a nice game I can recommend to those of you who are looking for something interesting to play.

@Th3solution Will be sure to tag you whenever I get around to playing those games!

Hey @RogerRoger... How would rate Team Sonic Racing for someone who'd mainly be interested in it for the single player aspects?

You are the resident Sonic fan after all Rog and I'm 99% sure I've heard you talk about it before

Try these games if you have different interest in gaming.

For a new copy it goes for about £17 at the cheapest I've seen @RogerRoger so not quite pennies but definitely cheaper then it was at launch 😄

Good to know though. 21 courses was actually a bit more then I was expecting and it seems to have a pretty decent roster of characters too.

I could do with both another Sonic game & another racing game too (Especially as Crash Team Racing makes me feel a little cold with all the Activision Blizzard stuff).

I think team sonic racing was free earlier this year , and the online was (apparently still) busted so i installed the game into the recycle bin 😂 basically

@RogerRoger maybe it’s regional . i remember when the game first dropped people were having trouble matchmaking with randoms , it never found anyone or just a handful of people - but never filled lobbies . whenever it became free this year , i tried it myself and still no luck . i found people but it was rare and it was only 2 or 3 other people & any lobbies that seemed like it was gonna be a full race , the connections would drop .

Has anyone played Sundered? I'm after a Metroidvania to play soonish, and just found out this is on PS+Ex. Not sure how this has passed me by, as it was released in 2018 and I really like the art style! I'm a little bit apprehensive on how fast paced the combat looks, but I should be ok once I've got used to it.

I should probably just download it and play it, seeing as it is on the service!

@JohnnyShoulder Agreed, that art style is really good. It’s not my kind of game but it look great for fans of 2D Metroidvania. I wonder why I never heard of it.

Following a chat with @The_Moose recently, I’m considering starting Dragon Age: Inquisition during some upcoming leave that I have from work. I love fantasy RPG’s generally and remember quite liking DA: Origins back on 360 (don’t have quite as pleasant memories of its sequel though).

Just wondering if people have played it, what their thoughts are? Also, if anyone has attempted/succeeded with the Plat… as it sounds brutal? 😅
