@Th3solution It Takes Two is a great game so hopefully you can find someone to play along with you. Off the back of that I bought A Way Out thinking that my wife would also enjoy that but she's not really been that taken with it. Seems it's a bit slow going for her, that and the prison setting is just not as much fun as the environments in It Takes Two.
@Sorteddan I'm interested in grabbing this on my Switch for when travelling...
I absolutely loved Hades, and it was my #2 GOTY for 2021 (#1 was Returnal).
Assuming you've played Hades? How does CoM measure up?? It sounds like the progression model is quite similar to Hades, with various unlockables per run?
@CJD87
I haven't played Hades enough to make a valid comparison unfortunately. I am aware that it has different weapons and perks which effect how you approach the gameplay whereas CoM has different characters with different weapons and skills which similarly effects how you approach it.
Any currency collected during a run is spent on the home hub area and provides upgrades to all characters so in that sense even a bad run is helping progression. What I am really liking though is that all characters have separate skill trees which include passive skills that again improve all of the characters meaning I'm going to have to get to grips with the slow lumbering sword melee dad in order to improve the others etc.
I wouldn't get it if you're hoping for another Hades - that was polished, flashy and won a whole host of game of the year stuff, CoM is much more understated but charming -very much it's own thing.

Really enjoying Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, from what I remember about the previous game (which I liked), this one seems a lot better. Obviously it’s a fair bit more polished, what with it being on more recent hardware… but the whole structure of the narrative and mission types seem a step up too. As a big fan of Arkane, I reckon that this is right up there with the Dishonored games in regards to the best immersive sims that ive played.
I also managed to power through the various online trophies for The Division 2. That games been hanging over me for about 6 months… but I found a bit of motivation from somewhere and got them done. Still a fairly sizeable endgame grind left for the platinum… but it feels within my reach now.
@kyleforrester87 It was alright, it just didn’t feel as well paced at all. Plus the platforming kinda got in the way rather than added anything. It’s a weird game for sure.
@kyleforrester87@nessisonett I've played it for a few hours and I've done a few missions and it's strange. It's a long time since I played Doom, but I have no idea what's going on in this story but it seems to be acting like I should (?) and it also seems like there's loads more platforming and verticality.
@nessisonett@johncalmc the story was a boring mess and the gameplay was just frustrating compared to 2016. Such a shame! The ball got dropped with both Doom and Wolfenstein after 2 great reboots.
@kyleforrester87 I don't think I'm attached enough to Doom to care. While I liked Doom 2016, once the initial grinning at how absurd it all was had worn off it got a bit repetitive. By the end I was really ready for it to end. I only really need a few hours of blasting demons with a shotgun and I'm okay.
@johncalmc I'm hardly a massive Doom fan either, just if I really concentrated and ignored the neon powerups in 2016 it almost felt like I was playing Dead Space at times.
Overall though the thing that annoyed me about Eternal is that it felt like I was always running out of ammo. I can understand why they give you much less (or even let you hold so much less) but ultimately I just thought it made it a lot less fun to play.
*Apparently your chainsaw refills 1 slot automatically for smaller demons in Eternal so you can get more ammo, I am not sure if I realised this fully since it doesn't do that in 2016. If so.. that really helps with the ammo problem lol.
@johncalmc@kyleforrester87 I just found it weird that Eternal stuck pretty much the whole story behind written logs which are so numerous that I couldn’t be bothered reading them.
I mean, you don’t play DOOM for its storytelling but the plot of 2016 was quite cool but never distracted from doing the fun stuff too much.
I’m back to being addicted to The Elder Scrolls Online and that’s perfectly fine with me! Played it for just over 200 hours so far and I’ve barley scratched the surface.
Love it. I've been looking for a game like Star Ocean 2 since I couldn't find it on the PS Store, and this definitely scratches that itch, it's basically the same game with a different storyline. Still I want 2 though.
@Jimmer-jammer Still playing through Dark Souls Remastered. I've just drained the water in New Londo Ruins and I'll be facing the Four Kings soon, got that ring from killing Sif so I can brave the abyss, and, yeah, looking forward to it. It was a bit of a chore draining the water is the path to Ingward (the guy you get the key to the seal from to where the lever to drain the water is) and the seal isn't strictly linear and it's easy to get lost, but I used a Youtube video to guide me and in the end, it was easier than I thought. How is your gaming going?

@TheBrandedSwordsman we all have our bosses that, while no one else seems to have that much problems with the… we just really struggle… and the Four Kings are that for me. Don’t know why but they just really unpick my style.
