18 hours into Assassin's Creed Valhalla and still feel like things are just kicking off, which they are as I've been playing slowly. Have been picking away at a New Game+ Ultimate difficulty run of Spider-Man Remastered for the last two trophies.
Completed Astro's Playroom, which I absolutely loved, a few days ago so down to juggling two games, Spiderman and AC Valhalla. I have a soft spot for AC games and am loving the slow start in Norway, taking my time to explore the mountains before continue the story. Spiderman's just great fun swinging around doing the side missions, again still early in the story. Got Godfall rented and Bugsnax to try but Shadow of the Colossus is cheap at the moment - might not be able to resist.
This article makes a great point. I'd always been put off the Souls game because of their reputation - I'd built up this image of dying multiple times to every enemy encountered and it being a total slog the whole time. Watching the first few hours of Demon's Souls being played on YouTube has completely changed my perception, it looks beautiful and the combat against common enemies looks fluid, fun and manageable (bosses...not so much). I may well hit a brick wall but looking forward to giving it a go soon.
My PS5 arrived today, will be playing this evening for the first time! Think I'll start with Astrobot to see what the controller can do and try out Miles Morales. Also have AC Valhalla and Godfall rented...and Bugsnax downloaded...and I didn't have a PS4 so the PS Plus PS4 collection is calling to me too!

I'll be continuing to pick away at AC Valhalla and hopefully get time to play a decent chunk of Olija, which I started yesterday and am loving so far.

Thanks for reviewing this. The art style caught my eye and I was hoping it would be fun to play - sounds like it is!

More Spider-Man Remastered and AC Valhalla for me, enjoying chipping away at them slowly.
