The Talos Principle 2

@colonelkilgore Very nice! You’ve found yourself a real gem there.

@Jimmer-jammer I’ve actually had the original in my backlog for years and will want to play that one first but the sale price on the sequel made it a no brainer

@colonelkilgore The nice thing is that they’re both brilliant! The sequel is a real evolution of the first one (seriously, Croteam knocked it out of the park), building on everything it did both mechanically and narratively, so playing the first should only serve to bolster you’re experience with the second. I know it’s not your typical cup of tea so I’m curious to hear what you make of them.

@Jimmer-jammer sounds great, I might actually play the first one while I’m recovering from shoulder surgery next month (as long as it’s not too demanding), so I’ll be sure to tag you if I do 👍

@colonelkilgore Thanks, I’d appreciate that. Hope your surgery and recovery go well, man!

@Jimmer-jammer cheers buddy 👊

@colonelkilgore Nice I've yet to pick up TP2 but the first one is one of my favourite games, a real gem and this one looks even better.
I keep hoping that they will announce VR support, I know I sound like a broken record by now but the PC crowd have said it is great in VR but I think it was a mod rather than anything official.
Enjoy both games and they (the first one at least) aren't too demanding on dexterity plus I can't remember any timed bits but I could be wrong and tbh you can just ask the nurse to help with those bits.

aye @missuskilgore is looking forward to playing dress-up 😍

@Malaise hey, you’d only be late to this party if I’d had the surgery, recovered and already gone back to work so no worries. And yeah what you’ve pointed out there is exactly what I’m after tbh. Food for thought for sure, cheers buddy

So following last nights Summer Gamefest I’ve been wanting to pre-order the physical Alan Wake 2 and the physical code 😉 for Black Myth Wukong but unable to find a retailer with open pre-orders, am I a bit premature or are there only specific retailers where these are available?

edit. I’ve found a pre-order for Alan Wake 2.

Not sure if this counts but I bought the collector’s edition or Forbidden West with the steel book for ps4!! It was a great find!!
Basically, one of our local electronic stores in Kuwait had a copy lying around behind a locked glass wall, I asked if it I could purchase it and the answer was yes! What a great find, it was sitting there for months so I thought, why the heck not? Probably one of the last copies remaining. I’m very happy about it!!

@Yousef- nice, I love a steelbook!

It I could post a picture, I would. It’s very beautiful looking. Especially in person.

I got these farming sim games last Friday.
1. Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom
2. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

@Anti-Matter doraemoon is always a good find. Cool to know they had a story of seasons game for them.

so i got street fighter six deluxe edition because of that beautiful sale and the summer game fest thing convinced me (and i had enough money finally lmao). ive played a little, i made my avatar and started the world tour. just curious, what IS that first thinh i should do in this very overwhelming game? (me does not have online)

I bought a couple of games actually. I picked up Lords of Exile. It’s a Castlevania-like — pixel graphics and all. It’s pretty solid. I also purchased System Shock, from Nightdive. I haven’t played it thoroughly yet. I attempted to yesterday but came to the conclusion I wasn’t in the right mindset for an immersive sim just yet, so it’s going to the backlog for now.

Is £18 a decent price for Persona 5 Royal on the PS5?

I've played the vanilla version of Persona 5 on the PS4, and I'm quite tempted to purchase P5R and found a sealed copy for around £18 in my local currency.

@Malaise I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on the Stalker Trilogy. I have been a bit tempted myself but felt I didn’t know enough about it to pull the trigger.
