Re: Motion sickness from video games really sucks.

my wife has always had issues with games, especially anything in first person, but most things that also have a movable camera. She's been fine on anything with an isometric viewpoint, anything with a fixed camera and there are some odd ones that she has also been fine with (the Ratchet and Clank se...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

"Dishonored 2" was taking too long to download on my terrible internet connection so I played a lot of Spiritfarer yesterday. I was worried it would be a bit sickly and twee, but it's moving and funny, and it's animated like a dream. It's not normally the sort of game I would choose to pl...

Re: Games Completed 2021

Jan - Donut County - Xbox One 27.01.21 - Eastshade - Xbox One What do you get if you mix a first person rpg with a walking simulator? That seems to be the premise for Eastshade .

Re: Games Completed 2021

24.01.21 - Donut County - Xbox One First completion of the year - though this is only a playthrough and not a 100% It is a charming and quirky game and doesn't outstay it's welcome but the premise begins to wear a little thin in even it's short playtime (2-3 hours). It does manage to keep introducin...

Re: Best in-game horses (Updated for 2021)

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Minecraft Dungeons remains a family favourite - often coming on for an hour or two a day. The daily trails are a great way to dip in and have something of an experiment into different settings (it would be lovely if you could set up a custom play session with a bunch of mutators ...). Still not a p...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

As it's number is up on Gamepass, I downloaded My Friend Pedro last night As I suspected, this game is probably better viewed watching someone else complete S-Rank runs than my attempts last night. It plays as bloody platform shooter homage to action sequences. You could go through the levels slowly...

Re: The Great Big CaR Forum Quiz 2020!

my stab at this is pretty poor honestly. Not even certain I can answer more than about a quarter of those answers ...
maybe I should have listened to more of the podcasts in 2020.

Good luck to those who have put answers in!

Re: 2020 Gaming Highlights

Honestly, one of my gaming highlights this year was taking the plunge and joining an online D&D group. I've met some great people and in a year that we have been largely trapped in our homes, it's actually been largely a blessing - though I'm now in up to six campaigns at once ... Having the fam...

Re: Wandersong

I'm the odd one out here I think. Wandersong did nothing for me. I love the concept, I love the idea that you use music to fix the problems but somehow it just never clicked for me. I did not like the graphics - I just could not shake the idea that Terrance and Phillip were about to appear; the vast...

Re: Games Completed 2020

26th Dec - Unravel - Xbox One This game is gorgeous. A lovely platform puzzler where you play as a creature of yarn. The levels are a mix of some very cleverly thought out levels and a couple of instances where it got a little fiddly. But it was very well paced and didn't overstay it's welcome. Tha...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I also played the first few stages in 3 player co-op on Minecraft Dungeons , which we bought the kids for Christmas on Switch. The game is pretty fun, but shit me, the frame rate is so bad I was genuinely left with what was bordering on a full on migraine. Christ, it's been out a while, how's this ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I'm sticking to using the expiring Game Pass games as a guide for what to play recently, though this can be hit or miss with the games. I've read a few good things here about Demon's Tilt so I installed that over the weekend. It's a visual mess, and woefully underexplained as to what's going on. The...

Made by Santa Monica Studios, this is a blend of MOBA with Capture the Flag - your princess is in another castle and you pick a class to head out, storm the gates and recapture her, all while defendin...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

... I also played a bit of Spacelords today. Pretty awful and depressing experience honestly. This is not my kind of thing at all, being a F2P third-person shooter, but I've given this game three chances now, and it has left me thoroughly unimpressed each time. The reason I even bothered to give th...
