@Boucho11 I lent it off a friend and would recommend it. I hate COD etc. Much prefer a single player campaign like RoboCop offers. It's not perfect but from a mid range dev it's impressive building off the decent but janky terminator game
@nomither6 definitely but with my situation gaming time is too valuable a commodity to spend it repeating the same frustrating bit as nauseum so given s choice of gaming in a loop or having more relaxed fun the latter wins out
@nomither6 no shame in that. I play to enjoy games. Times to short to repeat and get frustrated. I want to enjoy the story and the game and not bothered about showing off or feeling the need to grind or get stuck in a loop. Gaming is meant to be fun not a chore
@Marquez I had a choice between that and Jusant before Christmas. I picked the wrong one I think. Jusant is decent but not grabbed me like I hoped it would
The games are brilliant. Only issue for me is I bought plague tale on PSN in January 2023 and beat Evil West just before I bought plague tale. As I traded Evil West in I'd give that another play through and I'll definitely try Nobody saves the world
My wife got me Alan Wake 2 for Christmas. Absolutely loving it so far. Got a wedding to go to today but will try n get on this gem before it and tomorrow.
If can't play AW2 due to kids being around I'll play Jusant
@Titntin there was too much bandwagon jumping in the hate for forspoken. Most slagging it hadn't played it or only played the demo. It's no masterpiece. It's not likely to be many people who played it's favourite game but it's way way way better than the narrative surrounding it suggests in my opinion
Jusant and Prodeus this weekend. Alan Wake 2 from Tuesday (not going to get on it Christmas day, maybe 30 mins when kids go to bed if can stay awake. They'll likely have me up at 5.30 lol
Well we're saving £10 on Alan Wake 2 by holding off on getting it bought for Christmas so I'm happy.
Earmarked it as my game for Christmas and was in no rush to get it ready and then this week heard it was in sale in epic game store so thought good chance would be on PSN too.
@Mikey856 I was being conservative in my estimation. But it does sound like it's 4 to 1 which is unreal. Especially as series X is a great console and with gamepass being such a hit
@Savage_Joe indie doesn't mean small. It means independent. Independent from a big publisher. If they become a big publisher then they may no longer be referred to as an indie dev
Nearest rival at 50k should that read 500k? If not that's staggering. I'd be interested in seeing life time sales of series X, series S and PS5. I'd imagine PS5 is out selling both 2 to 1 combined
Lego 2K drive and Sable. Lego 2k is fun, good in short bursts.
Sable's a decent game but frame rates iffy but it's worth a try.
Trying to decide if should get Tunic while on offer or not, like the look of it but put off by not having any English language in map and guide etc. Tad pretentious if you ask me

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
@Enuo I'm a bit like that. Feeling a tad burned out with it
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
I'm liking it, would say it's an 8. I'm finding it frustrating at points but that's a staple of the genre. Runs and plays super smooth

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 512
I put on the phantom menace game yesterday and Jesus does it look rough, thought it was pictures of Kerry Katona it was that bad.
I'll be mostly on Prince of Persia with a splash of RoboCop too
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?
Did the £10 upgrade and it's downloading but Prince of Persia and RoboCop are getting played 1st
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
My copy is late unfortunately
Re: UK's GAME Stores to Stop Accepting Trade-Ins from Next Month

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 511
Very much towards the end of my slow (savoring) play through of Alan Wake 2. Such a great game
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@Puketapu it's decent just not grabbed me. I'll return to it in time I think. Looks stunning can't deny that like
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@Doctor_BK @Doctor_BK I loved immortals of aveum. Great game. £14.99 in Smyth's at the moment. It's a steal at that price
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@AndyKazama it's queued up for me after Alan Wake 2. I'd play both but can't tear myself from Bright Falls
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@Lizergamid are we playing the same game???
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
@Cikajovazmaj bramble was decent.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Still on the absolutely amazing Alan Wake 2. This game is unreal. Can't sing it's praises enough. Just....wow
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023
I voted Resi 4 having not played Alan Wake 2 at that point. Now 8hrs into Alan Wake I'm thinking it's very much a rival for Resi 4
Re: PS Plus Essential's Monthly Games for January 2024 Available Now on PS5, PS4
@Splat it's slot of fun. Refreshing for a game to embrace linear fun
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024?
The games are brilliant. Only issue for me is I bought plague tale on PSN in January 2023 and beat Evil West just before I bought plague tale. As I traded Evil West in I'd give that another play through and I'll definitely try Nobody saves the world
Re: Game of the Year 2023: Graham's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023
You all realise these are the person's choices and opinions right? It would be boring if everyone chose same 5 games and all in same order.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Northern_munkey exactly. I enjoyed my play through on it and will happily try it again
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Nepp67 only thing that sucked was the vampires when feeding. Its a great game
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Kyushutrail you could watch a YouTube catch up but I'd recommend playing innocence as it's superb and worth playing them both
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@LordAinsley yeah. I couldn't do it at 30fps. It's way better at 60fps
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Darude84 are you for real???
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
I wanted to try Nobody saves the world.
Evil West is really fun, a PS3/360 era throwback in a good way. I got rid of it when I finished it while value was high so would try it again.
Plague tale is superb. I own that and would recommend it to anyone especially in the performance mode they added
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for January 2024 Announced
@Ephexis83 fallen order has already been in plus I think

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 508
Merry Christmas one and all.
Jusant and Prodeus this weekend. Alan Wake 2 from Tuesday (not going to get on it Christmas day, maybe 30 mins when kids go to bed if can stay awake. They'll likely have me up at 5.30 lol
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Wins Big in PS Blog Awards, Including PS5 Game of the Year

@CieloAzure I've downloaded and played a few levels. So good. Pure fun
Re: 19 All New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Are Available to Play on PS5, PS4 Now
@themightyant I loved it. Bought it on sale last month. No regrets

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507
Finally got into Deaths Door. It can be a tricky wee bugger at times. Dipping in and out of that and Mario Wonder

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 506
@Loamy sorry to hear that. Always a shame losing someone but much worse if taken before their time.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fans Miffed After Apparent Snubbing at The Game Awards
I loved the game. It not being awarded doesn't change how much I enjoyed it. Why do we need validation of the things we enjoy?

Re: Three New PS Plus Essential Games Can Be Downloaded Now
Had a very quick go on Sable looks great but feels like it's in stop motion, reminds me of into the spiderverse. May take a bit of getting used to.
Downloaded the other 2 as well. Don't think I've ever downloaded them all before
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2023?
I couldn't put Alan Wake 2 as have to wait until Christmas for it but I feel I would be in top 3 if I had
My 5 are....
1. Resi 4
2. Spider-Man 2
3. Hogwarts
4. Jedi survivor
5. Dead Space
If it was an option immortals of aveum would have been 5.
Forspoken is an honourable mention for me too
