Honestly, I think I'm getting stupider the older I get. I am finding games really difficult to follow lately. First I gave up on Deathloop because I couldn't make head nor tail of what was going on or how the systems in the game worked, and now, about 2 hours in to Cyberpunk 2077 it's the same thin...

I think that's my biggest issue with the game. There's no creativity involved. You have to just have to complete the game according to the one single solution exactly as the developers envisioned, which is in complete contrast to Arkane's prior games, where they're like, "Here's a giant open l...

I finished Deathloop earlier this year and felt similar to you guys. It's a fun game but wore out its welcome by the end. It took me a few goes round to get to grips with it too. I was hoping for a sort of 'Dishonored Hitman' where you're given free reign to find and take out all these targets with...

Anyone played much Deathloop? I'm about two hours in and best let off the leash for a little while and just pretty confused about it all! I guess more clues will come as I play, but at the moment I can't even imagine how I would get the visionaries in one place even if I knew what I needed to do. I...

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - This had been on my 'to do' list for...years but the reported length of it had always put me off. After twice being in the mood for an RPG of sorts and twice being let down, I thought maybe this was the time to sink my teeth into something beefier. I am...

I started playing Dead Cells again on a train trip and now it has its hooks back in me. It's just wonderful. As much as I loved this game, I was never able to beat The Hand of King, even on the starting difficulty. The one time I did beat him, it was because he glitched and got stuck in place and d...

Started Resi 4 today. Loving it so far. Found the controls and camera a real throw back that took a long time to adjust to. Also the aiming! I think I spent at least a good half hour trying to work out how to survive the first village square sequence. I Caned and Rinsed through my ammo and relied o...

Picked up Resident Evil 4 on Switch for this weekends gaming time. Can't wait to continue my Resident Evil journey. Only 17 years late to the party. Enjoy it! I swear I've played that game close to 10 times between the Gamecube and Wii versions. It was fantastic and one of my favorite gaming experi...

Elden Ring, PS5 - I'm still plugging away at it since getting the game on launch day. Such a long game. I've had to take extended breaks, so as to not burn myself out on it. I just finished Farum Azula and I'm going to do the Haligtree before continuing on to the ashen Leyndell. This might be the f...

(July) God of War (2018), PS5: It was a good, if a bit over-hyped. The combat system had real potential, but I feel like they spoiled that with the gear level requirements. You have to be within one or two gear levels of the enemies to do any damage. If you're more than 2 gear levels below an enemy...

Prior to Prime, I avoided Metroidvania games because of my experience trying to play the original Metroid on my NES around the age of 8 or so. I was utterly lost and hated that feeling confusion, having been more accustomed to the Marios and Megamans of the world, all of which had a clear start and ...

I've never played Psychonauts 2 and have only briefly tried 1, so I don't have much to add to this conversation as to specifics, but more of a general question for the rest of the forum. Does anyone else struggle to enjoy games like the Psychnoaut series that are marketed as being "funny?"...

My only experience with Virtua Racing was when I rented it for the 32X. I have nothing else to add to the conversation. I just wanted to remind everyone that the 32X was a thing. Why Sega?

For years prior to the Darksiders series, I had always questioned why no one other than Nintendo made Zelda-style games. I mean, it was a winning formula for them, so why not another developer? Then, along came Darksiders and I was thrilled for about a minute, until I saw the art style. It was not m...

I am not much of an online gamer. I much prefer the relaxation of playing games alone after a long day of work to unwind, but the concept of a battle royale obstacle course game was too intriguing to me not to try when it came out on PS+. I was immediately hooked. While the number of courses was sma...
