Re: Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Dev Ninja Theory's Next Game Has Reportedly Been Greenlit

I played the first thinking it might be interesting but ehhh, what a slog. I understand that a game about mental illness isn't supposed to be fun or a good time but it basically was about lining up symbols in the environment while endless chatter repeated lines like "You can't do it!....Yes, you can!!!"
I'll pass on this when it gets a PS5 release to try to recover its development costs.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Reveal Trailer Is Already the Most Disliked in Series History

If I could dislike that trailer more than once, I would. It's Ubisoft that I (and most others) hate as a company. Remember this is the company that said you should "get used to not owning their games", countless tales of employee abuse, charging $130 for 3 whole days of early access, saying Skull and Bones was a "AAAA" title that justified a $70 price tag,deleting The Crew from your library and god know what other stuff I'm forgetting.
If defending Ubisoft is the hill you're willing to die on, than good luck with that. I'll never buy their games again, never. But sure, go ahead and claim its racism. Whatever.

Indika - what a weird game, I'm enjoying it. About an hour in, impressed with what I've played so far.
Diablo 4 - finally tried out a seasonal character, grinding Helltides but getting decent exp from them so it's good to play while I listen to music.
Athenian Rhapsody - looked insane so I picked it up and yup, it's insane all right. But funny, which i needed right now after serious games lately. Doing a pacifist run.

There's no way the 2 latest games are better than the original trilogy. I'll take gameplay over family drama and handholding (literally and figuratively) any day of the week.

Rise of the Ronin - just got to Edo, I'm really enjoying this, love being able to counter-spark (parry) and murder my enemies, so fun!
Star Ocean 2nd Story R - pretty far in this, home-screen says I'm at 75% of the story, its good fun as well.
Alan Wake 2 - restarted a new game as I never finished my 1st playthrough back in November. Just got thru Coffee World. Man, what a soundtrack!

Stasis: Bone Totem - pretty interesting game so far, kinda bummed out that it doesn't have a Plat trophy though.
Sinking City - on the last mission now, did all the side quests so I'm ready to finish this.
I got the plat for Taxi Life over the week so I needed a new game to play while I listen to music and No Man's Sky is doing nicely.

The Sinking City - I got this pretty cheap and it's decent. At first I wasn't sure but it grew on me and now I want to finish it. I like how you find locations by searching through the city archives instead of it beings handed to you. And discovering that loot respawns took away any ammo concerns.
Taxi Life - got patched a few days ago and those pauses that happened are gone and fewer cars are ramming into me, gonna get that Plat!
Lies of P - enjoying this more now that I've got other games to play when I get frustrated with a boss.
