Larian did well to pick up Aoife, which makes it such a shame that she won't be able to share her presenting talent with more games like the good old Videogame Nation days. Damn I miss that show.

Just picked it up for £26.99, let's see what it's all about.

I know I shouldn't be bothered by it but that trophy icon...

Still playing the minute it drops, it could've got a 3 and I'd still be there.

Nine Cat Quest games! Count me in.

3/10 proves I am even rubbish at guessing.

Fantastic! As a WF1 kickstarter this is an easy day one purchase.
I'm sure it was just for the trailer but there wasn't much damage happening in those "gameplay" portions.

Fantastic! Perfect timing for a nice peaceful day in the dark away from the sun. I shall only raise my head for dinner later.

Next will be the branded lunchboxes and pregnancy testing kits.

Hate the game if you will but they did at least put some effort into the controller. Better than most of them.

Every day is a gaming day.
Plus the more that horrid sunshine is out the more I want to be indoors.

@rjejr yup, see you in the complaints thread of that launch soon

@TrickyDicky99 oh wow I'd forgotten about Fairgame$, surely that can't still be coming out can it?

Definitely my GOTY so far, it has such a satisfying loop.
It's a rare game that keeps me playing beyond platinum.

@Ravix I shocked myself! I had to put it down it was beginning to get in my dreams at night.

@Malaise I thought about that score for 107 of those hours

I had to give The First Descendant a break after putting in 108 hours in 9 days so I started Flintlock. It's rubbish. Looking forward to finishing it and moving onto Nobody Wants to Die.

@LikelySatan you're very welcome. As for the enemies they have small predictable routes they are on, the ones you can see anyway! They will follow you though and if you wander into another bunch whilst running away you have no chance as they are so aggressive they just destroy you.
It's very much of one enemy at a time to get through.
Once you upgrade the little fox thing enough you can easily get an advantage and spam attacks from afar.

This will be the normal base price sooner than you think.

I'm quite a few hours in and this is one of those games that makes you want to put your foot through the telly.
The platforming is atrocious. She has a double jump that misses handholds she can clearly grab.
The combat is baffling. For some reason no animation is interruptible and the enemy hits take preference when both hitting at the same time. Also I do think one of the weapons is bugged and won't stun during unblockable attacks.
Cheap attacks such as exploding enemies hidden round corners, or snipers you can't make out, and the big chickens need to go in the bin!
Also the dog thing constantly makes noises which means you can't hear enemies coming behind you or direction of attacks. He really needs a setting to quieten him down.
I'm going to persevere but it's quite hateable at this point.

Looks fab, I do love me some detectiveness.
Purchased and downloading now.

@Jacko11 ahh forgot about Star Wars, and Monster Jam Showdown! I did wonder

Aww shame as August was looking pretty empty too, oh well it's all for the greater good.

Only £35 too, definitely getting this one.

Looking forward to this, a lovely little diversion from The First Descendant.

All that happened with NMS last time will only help this time around, the amount of free publicity from articles like this will be worth a fortune.

@scoobdoo ahh that's intriguing, I wonder why?

A great 8 from me, one of my favourites of the year. One of those I can't wait to get stuck back into every day. Definitely not worthy of a 3. Although I do want to knock 8 points off for the Ultra-Precision Code Analyser mini-game.

@Northern_munkey couldn't agree more, I'm not bored by any repetition at all and having a great time playing. I just wish I could colour the base outfits so everyone looked different.

@Shigurui oooh that's interesting I bet it's more than a 100 hours to get there, at least!

@get2sammyb ahh that would explain it, have they not released the story or part for those specific trophies then?
It does look like a nice dip in dip out game whilst playing other stuff. I even enjoyed it on my phone.

Looking forward to diving into this but still nobody has the platinum for it so it looks like being a very very long one.

Wow, a three!?
I've got this as one of the best of the year so far, a definite 8 from me.

Why have I not heard of Remnant 2?
Doesn't look half bad.

If PushSquare had an awards night this would be up there for Article of the Year, simply brilliant.
Those sausage rolls - yes please!! I'm going to show the stamina potion to my wife as I really fancy some of that and she'd love it too.

A nice decent chunky update, looking forward to this.

Is anyone anywhere working on anything new these days?

I thought I'd get some good progress made for trophies on my phone but after ten minutes that thing is too hot to keep hold of!

Flying through Gravity Rush 2 to 100% it and then going to get stuck into The First Descendant.

In a shockingly dismal year I just went for the game I gave the highest score to, and I wouldn't really call it a favourite it was just very good. Pacific Drive.

I really enjoyed it, shame they didn't add more trophies to keep me coming back.

Just waiting to see if they fix some of the bugged trophies before I dive in.

@AdamNovice I had to follow a walkthrough for the platinum too, everything was so unfathomable to the point of annoyance.

Why not every month they just sent us all a coupon?

Absolutely Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. Not much else on the list for me apart from Cat Quest.
I did notice that Monster Jam Showdown - Off-Road was missing though, that should be a lot of fun.

I'm probably alone in this but who has four friends?!

More real world tracks.
Just look back at the amount that Project CARS had. They've been laser-scanned already, just a few licences and good to go.

Hmm, shall I attempt my first NHL game since NHL '97?
I wonder if it's changed much.

This is great news! I love me some farming simulator.
I'm definitely in the mood now.

Perhaps someone found a way to "hack" getting points?
