Played through a good chunk of Guardians of the Galaxy… and quite enjoying it. It feels like the ultimate Telltale game (like if Telltale had a AAA budget… and gameplay instead of QTE’s), which is quite ironic considering that they did actually make a GotG game. I might actually pick the Telltale GotG game up if I can find a copy, just out of pure curiosity what with playing through this currently.
In regards to the Eidos-Montreal version, the story and characters are absolutely brilliant, the art design is phenomenal, the music choices are great… and the gameplay is very mediocre (though far, FAR better than the gameplay in a Telltale game). Even though I have often spoke about my gameplay first mentality, the overall package is winning me over a bit on this one.
@colonelkilgore how’s Guardians of the Galaxy? I have it waiting in the wings but have been waylaid by Hades.
@Sorteddan think it’ll be worth the wait for ya! I’m really enjoying it and didn’t have any particular excitement for it. I’ve been discovering a lot of very smart design decisions throughout.

@Voltan I just find it very basic tbh… by no means terrible but extremely average. As I’ve said though, it isn’t negatively affecting the experience though as the overall product is just so good
@Jimmer-jammer so as I’ve said mate, imho the gameplay is nothing to write home about but apart from that I rate everything else extremely highly. Even though this is a (slightly) different representation of the Guardians to the MCU, I actually feel like I’m playing through a really good (like really good) Marvel cosmic movie. It’s not necessarily the experience that I’m generally after in terms of gaming but I’m enjoying it all the same.
Just rolled the credits on Guardians of the Galaxy. A really fitting end to the story and some of the best dialog in the game. Now I’ve got to see how I’m going to clean up the last of the trophies as they don’t seem to be a way to see which collectibles I’m missing from each chapter.
@Voltan
Well after the 20-30 mins of Astrobot that just charmed me, I booted up Spider-Man MM and played that for an hour or so which was pretty much as I expected it would be. Have been at work all day till now so I haven't had too much time on it so far, still getting to grips with the new UI.
Have already bought Hades coz was cheap on Amazon, so that, the three games I got with it and the PS+ stuff I have added throughout the year mean I, quite happily, already have a backlog of 5-10 games before I even get to the trade in voucher I've had from CEX for quite a while.
Problem is I'd already planned my next three platinum so am gonna have to get back to PS4, because changing my plans would cause me anguish! Ah first world problems eh?
Thanks for asking.

I started Deathloop. I’ll probably take this one kinda slow and play it in bits over an extended period, rather than going all in for a week or so. The mission structure seems to be kinda encouraging it so far but I haven’t even completed a whole day yet so I could be wrong.
I really like the map design with its multiple routes to every objective. The environment looks fantastic too. I’m using the default graphics mode (which I guess is performance as it runs very smoothly). Voice acting is simply great, especially for Colt.
So far it’s been very straightforward and objective-based - which is probably a good thing for me in this kind of game (although I don’t mind solving puzzles). I guess some were worried about this.
@Voltan It lets you just follow markers if you want to but you’ll probably stumble across all sorts of wonderful side stuff and opportunities along the way. Very much like Hitman in that regard.
@nessisonett That’s what I was thinking. It wouldn’t make much sense for the maps to be this open if you were just supposed to follow a path. Anyway, first impressions are rather good.
Started Spider-man Miles Morales, and it is good fun so far. Love the combat and traversal. My only gripe so far is that I find the VA for Miles a bit annoying at times. After trying all 3 graphics modes, I've settled for RT performance. All though Fidelity mode didn't feel as sluggish as other games I've played on PS5 at 30fps, the other two modes at 60fps did feel loads better.

Had another session of couch co-op on It Takes Two this afternoon... and the more I play of it the more I think the Game Awards got their Game of the Year spot on this year.
I also started Resogun. Never fancied it during the whole of the PS4 generation but my mind has done a complete 180 on 2D games lately, so I’m giving a lot of these games a go for the first time. I’m not very good at it... but I love it. Only had around an hour with the game but can’t wait til I boot it back up... massively addicting!
@Adem87 maybe eventually but from what I gather R⭐️ only have plans to release a PS4 physical version right now (which I’ll agree with you... sucks). I’m waiting for a decent price on the PS5 digital version and then if it ever does get a PS5 physical version, I’ll end up picking that up as and when I see it for a decent price too.
@colonelkilgore I was under the assumption that the PS5 was getting a physical release as well. Extremely disappointed that that is not the case now. I doubt the price of the digital version will come down anytime soon. I'm still undecided especially after the trilogy has been hammered on the youtube reviews.
@Adem87 yeah well there’s plenty of games to play in the mean time until the GTA Trilogy Remastered is included in one of the copious PSN Store sales... add it to your wishlist and forget about it for a while, you’ll get a notification of it being temporarily reduced before you know it 😉
