I went for it. Really enjoying DS2 so far. Interesting to readjust to the combat after so much Bloodborne, but I am liking the much more varied selections of weapons and armours and upgrades, etc. Is it just me though or is it a little more generous with the level up requirements? I'm only 7 hours i...

16 Jan - The Last of Us
Third time through, this time on Survivor+. Might have a go at Grounded one day.

07 Feb - Bloodborne (+ The Old Hunters)
Loved it. Pre-ordered Dark Souls 3 the next day. Now wondering whether I should play Dark Souls 2 first.

I completed Bloodborne at the weekend (thanks to the patient advice of our very own James Carter) and, despite having a huge backlog of games to play, I feel like I want to play more things like Bloodborne. I have my pre-order in for Dark Souls 3, but should I pick up Dark Souls 2 in the meantime? I...

are you pressing up on the D-pad? that gives you 5 bullets but costs you health if that's not it it sounds like a bug I didn't encounter a debuff like that the whole way through the game Embarrassingly, yes, that was the issue.

OK, why are blood vials taking life off me? Is this a bug or a 'feature'?

Quick question though: I don’t seem to have a way to level up my character yet. Am I missing something or do I have to hit a certain point before that becomes available?

First night of Bloodborne involved lots of deaths but lots of excitement. Definitely liking the more aggressive approach to combat.

4 April - Dying Light (PS4) I didn't much like Dead Island, but the parkour and nighttime stealth aspects of this had me intrigued. And you know what? It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and compelling open world games I've played in a long time. Some dodgy boss battles aside, the game was...

I played through the second

Spoiler: show

prison bit

last night. It felt like a return to Butcher Bay in all the right ways. This game has a great sense of pacing. It's so refreshing for a first-person shooter to use shooty bits sparingly, and to focus on exploration and immersion.

I think you've sold me on it. I was already tempted, given the Starbreeze/Riddick heritage of the developers. Will hopefully pick it up this weekend.
