Re: Mini Review: The Last Campfire - Cosy Puzzles from Hello Games

MrChips

I really enjoyed this game despite it's technical flaws. I do love puzzle games so this was an instant buy. Strangely, they have left the debug menu in the game. If you press L1 and R1 you're treated to a few options, graphics detail, level select, puzzle rooms (though not fully playable) and cutscenes that I never witnessed during my playthrough.

Re: Poll: Which Version of the PS5 Do You Plan to Buy?

MrChips

Disc version. Easy. I'll have the option of buying on disc or digital. I don't understand why anyone would buy the digital version just to save money. In the long term you'll be be spending more on digital content than you would on disc. You won't be able to trade or sell your games. Buy a game on day of release, finish it within a few weeks then take it to Cex and get most of your money back. The Last of Us Part 2 only cost me £9.

Re: Eden-Tomorrow - Lousy Gameplay Drags Down a Noteworthy Narrative

MrChips

I mostly agree with this review though personally I would give it 6/10. The demo was good enough for me to purchase the game and I have no regrets. I enjoyed the story and loved the music. If you have already played the demo then don't get high hopes as there's not a lot more to the final game. You're basically doing the same menial tasks over again. There are some interesting moments and it does feel like a walking simulator but as the reviewer said, curiosity will keep you pushing forward.

Re: Vane - Exploration Has Never Been Less Fun

MrChips

I've played about 3 hours of Vane. The art style and music are excellent but the controls and camera angles are frustrating at times. Controlling the boy feels sluggish. The frame rate is also terrible on the Pro. You're lucky if hits 30fps. There are few too many bugs. I've been left floating in mid air, graphics glitching, seen through walls and some puzzles are not triggered when they are supposed to. I've also been stuck where I can not move, forcing me to quit to menu and reload my last save, which there are far and few between. I have had to redo 2 sections of the game which took me 30 minutes to complete.
This game feels unfinished and should never have been released as is. Surely the developers knew about these bugs but they failed to fix them before release. They have announced on twitter that the save points are one of their top priority of things to fix. I just hope they fix all the other bugs too as this could be a great game.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 237

MrChips

I'm currently playing Tomb Raider after finishing Spider-Man yesterday. So far I'm very impressed. I've had a full day on it today and not once did I get bored. I would say I'm enjoying it more than Spider-Man and even more than Rise of the Tomb Raider, which I did get bored of and wanted it to end. This however, feels like an improvement on the previous game and I don't want it to end. I play stealthily (I haven't used any guns (yet) and Tomb Raider is my fix until a new Splinter Cell game comes out.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Marvel's Spider-Man?

MrChips

If you're waiting for this game to come down in price, Cex give £36 for Spider-Man. Best to buy now and complete it in a week. It will have only cost you £10. Waiting for the game to come down in price then trading it in could mean you only get half of your money back or less.
