@RogerRoger@Fragile Turns out it’s not as relaxing as I thought! There’s an annoying glitch that results in the game closing whenever you use the camera to take photos. It was really annoying me, so I’ve put the game on hold until there’s a patch to fix it. It’s a shame because I was enjoying it.
Good thing you aren't blaming me as well @LN78 for nudging you towards the second one 😉
Really hope you enjoy them though. Can't say anything about the 1st yet but I loved the second to bits.
Oh... and welcome back to Push by the way... At least I think you were here before? I recognise the avatar at least and I'm pretty sure your name's the same too 😅

@HallowMoonshadow Thanks! I couldn't recall who the other person who recommended the game was - but I'll remember not to lay all of the blame at Kyle's door if it turns out that I dislike them - which I'm (almost) certain won't the case! And thanks also for the welcome back - I was indeed a regular here for a good few years but I took a step back from the modern side of gaming (and online interaction) after a family bereavement. It feels good to be getting back in sync with the tech after some time away, I must admit.
@kyleforrester87 I wonder why not? Yes, mate. I ended up buying them both. I'm planning on starting them after I've taken a run at the new LEGO "Star Wars'" game.
@LN78 oh I see them now, maybe the image host was having problems. Damn that’ll keep you busy! I couldn’t put OS1 down when I got it, had a CRPG itch to scratch for 15 years at the time.
@kyleforrester87 I've watched a few reviews and I'm looking forward to giving them a try. I'm a little worried about the interface and getting overwhelmed with menus and stats, I must admit.
@LN78 I played the first DO some time last year, and it is a really good game but the thing that killed for me is the plodding nature of movement, which made getting round the world a bit of a chore.
The writing, characters and voice acting is top knotch however, and I really dug little things like animals having different accents.
Have you played Metro Exodus? I highly recommend it. Feels really immersive and has recieved an astonishing amount of upgrades for the PS5 version.

@JohnnyShoulder Well if the writing and the characters are really that good then I'll probably be willing to overlook a little sluggishness in the controls - assuming it's not too frustrating, of course. I haven't played "Metro Exodus" because I was told (perhaps erroneously) that familiarity with the previous games was pretty much required in order to follow what's happening in the story. I did see the DF video though and it does look incredible. If I see a copy cheap enough I'll probably take a punt just on the basis of the tech.
@LN78 I played it having only playing a couple of hours of the first game, so I say it is not essential but no doubt is the best experience having played the previous two games. It does a good job of recapping what went on before and I never felt I was missing out on anything.

@LN78 I adored Metro Exodus and while I’d absolutely recommend playing the first two, I think there’s a recap. Plus it tells its own story for the most part.
@nessisonett@JohnnyShoulder@LN78Metro Exodus is frequently steeply discounted on PSN. It seems like every other sale has it down to like $8. I know because I’ve pondered it many times when it’s so cheap. (Actually, after writing that I checked and sure enough, it’s currently discounted for $7.50). The Redux pack of the first two games also goes on sale occasionally — I’ve seen it for less than $10 several times. Currently $20, but interestingly the first game Metro 2033 is currently on sale for $1.99. Doesn’t get much cheaper than that.
I’ve come close to buying them several times.
Alas, I recently added Hades and then I just sold back Cyberpunk 2077 and was able to pick up Disco Elysium for $5 after the trade in. Another one for the backlog. 😅 I need to put a pause on any new games for a little bit.

@Th3solution My backlog is starting to stack up, too. I've been taking a lot of recommendations from the guys on the site so I have plenty to keep me busy. I've even been thinking about trying my hand at writing a review or two for the forum - something I haven't done since my uni days.
@LN78 Yeah, I bought Disco Elysium on the back of several strong recommendations from users on here. When I watched gameplay it looked pretty underwhelming, but more often than not the games that are repeatedly recommended hit well. So I suspect it will be great.
Like my failed Cyberpunk experiment is largely my fault. There was a wide range of mixed feelings about it in the community, some high praise/some not so much, and I ended up not liking it. But I had to try it out myself, so I don’t blame anyone for a misleading recommendation.
The user reviews are really great and I enjoy writing one occasionally (still need to do that LoU2 review…) and reading the reviews about games I’m interested in. You should definitely drop some extended thoughts on your games over there!
