@LtSarge Another fan of Kena here. I have no qualms about lowering the difficulty in any game, so I just started out on easy and had a good time with it. It’s a smidge too easy on that setting, but the game is beautiful and unique so I enjoyed the ride nonetheless. Exploration and discovery are still fun. The story’s a bit disjointed, but overall I highly recommend the game. It was a digital only release for a while and the physical version must be limited quantities. I got it digitally since it was a little cheaper that way, but it’s a good one to have in the library if you’re a disc collector.

Ok rant time. Major local retailers have increased PS4 game prices. God of War Ragnarok is 70€ while Callisto Protocol and Crisis Core are both 62€. Seems like something similar has also happened in Switch too. You can search online and find cheaper prices but still it is bizarre. It is not that big of a deal but it came from nowhere.
@KilloWertz@Th3solution Thanks for the heads-up guys. I think I'll give it a try on normal difficulty and if the boss fights ruin the experience then I'll just dial it down a bit.
@belmont I’ve found some weird inconsistencies with my game shops as well. Sometimes prices go up or down without any reason. When they go down, I try to grab them, because sometimes they go back up. Physical games are becoming scarcer for some of the less popular titles.
Switch game prices have always baffled me. They hold their value for a long time.

Against my better judgment, I bought Tacoma while it was still on sale for $3. I had it on my wishlist for a while since someone on here mentioned a positive impression from it. And I quite liked Gone Home. I rationalized that despite my backbreaking backlog, adding a 2-3 hour chill game isn’t the worst way I could spend $3. And I figured, why have it on my wishlist in the first place… I seriously doubt it goes any lower than $3, so what am I waiting for? (Alas, free would be nice. Watch, it gets offered next month for PS+ 😅)

Just found out that there is a platinum for Assassins Creed Chronicles: Trilogy Pack, so as I’m slowly chipping away at the mainline series, I thought it’d be rude not to… yoink!
Well, for a total of just over £30 in the current January sale I just purchased:
Horizon Shift 81; Old Mans Journey; Mother Russia Bleeds; Atomicrops; Demons Tier +; Mosaic; West of Dead; Hoa; Deathrun TV; Transformers Battlegrounds. (Though a couple of these were for PS5)
...Because it's Christmas and my new year resolution not to buy loads of games I haven't got time to play hasn't started yet.

@RogerRoger. Thanks for the feedback appreciate it much. But to be honest Iam not sure that I will have time to play the game in 2023 . Maybe 2024 if we are still allowed to have consoles then hehe. Now regarding the game itself Iam quite happy about the purchase because its a game I really wanted to have in my library as I very much like some of Rockstars other titles hehe.
Just been on a wee Final Fantasy splurge… guess 2023’s Final Fantasy frenzy has had an effect on me or something. Picked up Final Fantasy Type 0, Final Fantasy X & X-2 and Final Fantasy XIII & XIII-2 (the last 2 on PS3).
In addition to my previous post, just visited my local CEX and managed to find a steelbook for Final Fantasy X & X2 on PS4 and a particularly nice steelbook for Final Fantasy XIII part 3: Lightning Returns on PS3.
The peeps behind the counter who are apparently also steelbook collectors seemed very miffed about me buying the latter, as they would've had it themselves if they'd known it was there 😎
@LN78 I moved away from Cardiff around 18 months ago and the CEX there sounds much the same as the one close to you… but the one that I have local to my new home was a great surprise tbh. I’ve picked up a load of bargains and difficult-to-get-ahold-off games this last year or so. The missus knows that all she has to do to get me motivated for a trip into the town is to mention what surprises I may find in CEX while she’s pottering abouts.
@colonelkilgore To be honest it's probably better that our local branch isn't an Aladdin's cave full of obscure retro delights. I spend far too much money on that sort of junk as it is!
I caved and decided to pre-order the physical edition of Signalis which isn't due out till the end of Feb. Hopefully I'll be able to reduce my backlog by some before then...

Reading @nessisonett rhapsodise about "All Ghillied Up" from "Call of Duty 4" must have made me unconsciously nostalgic because I've just ordered a copy of the remastered version. I haven't played a "COD" campaign in ages - and they used to be an annual tradition for my brother and I. Looking forward to it.
