It's a tricky balance. Naughty Dog stuff is massively on rails but really enjoyable story telling (same with GoW of course). Too much freedom and you're in the Ubisoft danger-zone

Return to Monkey Island for me. Going back to a point and click will be a nice change up

Already played and loved Dead Space. Don't care about the other two. Luckily I'm in my first play through of TLoU1. I love this game very much

Ignore the gamer gate and anti-SJW bs. It is click harvesting and nothing more

Looking forward to this. Loved GoT

Didn’t notice. Boring race. Well done Maclaren though

I honestly don’t understand the GTA thing. Is it just because the sandbox is so open? What is the hook of this thing?

Looks fun. I wonder about the depth of the combat engine

Here’s hoping

I completed the PS5 version of GoT last month for the first time. A truly brilliant game. Loved the art, story , combat and general vibe. Wonderful stuff

I just don’t understand looter shooters. I don’t vibe with the game loop at all. It just seems really boring and pointless.

That being said, I have hundreds of hours of Elite Dangerous under my belt, so…

I love Frank Herbert’s Dune universe so I am definitely interested. The hardcore survival aspect is a little daunting though

@Uncharted_Horizon27

I'm in super completionist mode for Ghost of Tsushima right now, so there are good examples

online clout is a weird weird thing. I wonder if this wave will ever crash

I bounced off Borderlands (and Tiny Tina). The loot just becomes noise. The combat engine is fun, but then becomes samey and dull

I'm played out on Halo, but I'd love to see more XBox exclusives come to PS5

Sorely tempted, even though I know there aren't enough good VR experiences across both platforms

In completionist mode for Ghost of Tsushima. I probably need to up the difficulty. I'm a little too over powered now

Putting aside Fallout 4 for now and restarted Ghost of Tsushima. Now that my action game combat skills are way better, I’m really enjoying it. Now that I’ve upgraded my katana a few times, Jin is a bad ass

@Jaz007 I loved the third act so this seems like a subjective concern

It's just there are more gaming options which require less of a time commitment, at least session by session.

The whole "people are getting stupider" is just "old man shakes fist at cloud" or "back in the day..." or "those young people!" You sound like an old *****, and I'm actively trying to avoid that attitude as I get older

We are bombarded by entertainment platforms that are designed to capture our time. Our time is currency

I bounced off the Tsushima combat, but now that I've finished GoW:R and Jedi:Survivor, I think it might be time to return now that my action combat skills are a little better. Beautiful game

Bioshock would be good.

Replaying FO4 right now. It’s great. Tons of content. The RPG aspect is great. Combat is pretty good. Not GoW or Jedi Survivor good though

This is ***** gamergate rubbish

One of the outfits is a bikini. It was done for style reasons

I'll take another go at it. I played the PS4 version for about 15 hours and moved on. My backlog is insane though...

Skill Up recommended ToK so I might take a look

Finally going to finish GoW:Rag, which I've really loved. Bought Star Wars: Survivor so that'll be next

Still completing GoW:Rag, but trying to decide on my next. I think DD2 could be the one. I keep bouncing off FF for some reason

Where's Doom Guy?

I love CP77. I'm on my second run as a stealth ninja. Stuck on Oda though, so I need to persevere and try to get through that fight

If PC support happens then I’ll probably invest. The exclusivity is holding me back. On all platforms

The visual style is pretty cool. Very different from Automata, which isn’t good. Just different

If it’s not too punishingly difficult I could be interested

++ on fixing the stick drift

@rusty82 I just finished Jusant today and loved it. Short, sweet and simple. Dontnod really knew what they wanted and made it.

My backlog and Prince of Persia

@Mad001 what was woke about it? You play a white male engineer in a scifi space survival horror.

OT. It is a great game. Not normally my genre. Brilliant sound design. Very creepy

@enrickUranium I'm bummed out that I couldn't get into FF16. I only played the demo but found the combat engine to be boring as all hell

Going through my stack of shame right now with, Tchia, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Yakuza Inchi. Some PC stuff as well

Can't wait. Been holding off, as I found the PS4 version pretty janky. Hopefully there are some tweaks to the combat engine, but I doubt it

Hell yeah, I've only just started this one

Just loved HFW. I really didn't want to finish. I will probably go back to finish all of the sidequests/content at some point. Cyberpunk hasn't grabbed me as much, though I am digging Lego Star Wars.

Elden Ring is likely way too hard for me

I've started on TPM, but unfortunately it makes my wife sick when played split screen.

@Americansamurai1
I agree with you to some extent. I am enjoying it, but its open world is really awkward compared to say, HFW.

The main story seems to push you to play through, so I think I need to break off that rail and try to look around Night City just for fun

Yes, because I never grew up with the old consoles, and now that I have a PS5 I would like to play the classics, but with more contemporary graphics and sound

I really wish I could enjoy driving games, because GT7 looks amazing, but I'm just not a car guy sigh

20-30 for narrative stuff
40+ for true open world/universe (AC: Odyssey, BotW, NMS, Elite etc)

@redcorpuscle yeah that was pretty much my experience. A good friend of mine loved it. One day I may go back to it, if I feel like a bit more of a point and click adventure

I don't get Disco E. I played for a fair bit, but just got bored. I felt I was playing against the game mechanic too much and not the experiencing the narrative

Yeah, a great list. Maybe I should take a look at Arise. The demo put me off though. I haven't really got into the action JRPGs yet

Oh man, that looks great.

Was that a grappling hook?
Hopefully more open climbing like BotW
Love the energy glider thing

Can't wait for the story as well!
