@colonelkilgore hmm, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks! As much as I’m enjoying Hades, I think I’ll be done with anything similar for a time.

@Jimmer-jammer yeah it’s understandable, I’ve heard Hades (while fantastic) is a major time sink.

I’m in no rush to plough through them all in fairness. I’ll probably end up putting a few months between each SuperGiant game myself, if I get both Transistor and Pyre done by the end of 2022 I’ll be happy.

Hey how are you all? Been a while since I've posted again as I fell into a gaming rut of playing FIFA Ultimate Team (don't ask me why...).

However I finished Deathloop last night and thought it was a good time to post. I really enjoyed it, the gameplay was great and I liked the way the story progressed. Not so sure about the end though.

What did those of you who've played think of it?

@NedStarksGhost I'll be starting Deathloop next. You're not the first to mention "not being sure about the ending" fwiw

@Voltan nice, it's definitely worth the playthrough as I found the gameplay loop really fun. However I turned off the online function of the game, had one too many incidents of getting killed by a Julianna when I was in the middle of finding some crucial info!

@NedStarksGhost Hey there, good to have you back on the forums. I posted on here recently that after about 50 hours in Deathloop I hit a brick wall and couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Loved the way movement and gun play felt, and the overall presentation. But it got a bit too samey for me towards the end of my time. I may go back to it, I'm undecided, but it won't be until the new year after I've played a few more games.

@NedStarksGhost Nice to see you back. I had wondered how you were doing and hoping you were okay. Glad you’ve made it through the “rut” and enjoyed Deathloop. I’ve not played it and am lukewarm on the game, to be honest. The favorable impressions and reviews have my curiosity piqued though.

What’s next on your plans to play?

Cracking on with Guardians at the moment and it’s weird because it’s the first PS5 game where I’ve really noticed loading times at all.

They’re almost certainly no worse than games back on the PS4 but after such snappy/near invisible loading times on every other game, it’s been quite noticeable to me.

@colonelkilgore haha way more of a time sink than I was expecting. I’ve been bitten hard by the “Just one more run” bug. After playing Returnal, thus having something to compare it to (roguelikes are new to me), there are some things I think Hades just does so well. I still prefer the moment to moment gameplay of Returnal but the way Hades’ narrative is built around the roguelike framework is utter genius. When you get to it, it’s a gooder.

@velio84 yeah the invasions aspect is quite fun but just not when you're trying to get through a story and pick up information. I found it a distraction at times I just didn't want. I tried playing as Julianna invading others, that was quite fun.

@JohnnyShoulder thanks! I can see where you'r coming from Johnny, after finishing it I didn't feel any need to go back and do more. I was just happy to finish the game where I was, and not unlock all of the side stuff.

@Th3solution thank you, I'm doing well now and hope you are too! I think you should give it a go when it's on sale, I found it quite interesitng as a premise, and the gameplay is really fun. Next up I need to get back to HZD, I stopped again as I was gifted Deathloop for my birthday and wanted to prioritise it. What are you playing at the moment?

@Jimmer-jammer glad you're enjoying it dude... sounds awesome. I reckon it'll probably be a while til I start it but definitely excited to play it.

@Jimmer-jammer
Very glad to hear your high opinion of it. That's one game I have really wanted to play but have been putting off buying until I got PS5 so it will definitely be one of my first purchases.

@Sorteddan To be fair Hades probably runs just fine on PS4, considering it was originally a Switch release... but PS5 is the only version that uses adaptive triggers when petting the dog!

@Voltan
Probably does. I just stopped buying new releases when the new console came out knowing id rather have a bunch of stuff to get to when I got my hands on one

Anyways, just so I can now be a 'proper' participant in this thread... I have just started playing Astrobot whatever its called. Only about 20mins in and, my goodness, what a joyful little thing. Has had me grinning and chuckling plenty already, and I don't particularly go for 3D platformers usually. Anyhow am very sleep deprived so gonna nap for a bit and hopefully get some more game time this evening.

@Sorteddan It's a fantastic game.
Some call it a tech demo - it's not.
It's a proper game.

That's sold it for me.

Had a quick go of Streets Of Rage 4.
Quality.

@NedStarksGhost I just finished (and platinum’d) R&C Rift Apart and next I was planning Demon’s Souls but I think I’m going to tidy up a couple stragglers I never finished. First up Rime and maybe 13 Sentinels. I’m not sure which way the wind will blow and I feel a little empty after finishing Rift Apart, honestly. It’s weird because that’s not a really heavy game that I would have expected to linger in my consciousness, but it kinda is.

@velio84 Really? I played like 30mins this morning but not sure if I want to continue tbh. Feels weird after Prey and Alien Isolation.
