I’ve mostly been wrapped up in Final Fantasy XVI . I’ve reached the point of no return at the end of the game, with all the final side quests, remaining hunts and things left to do. I’m away for the weekend so it feels like a good point to take a break, as I’ve been doing everything available up unt...

Lies Of P (demo): This is a well made Borne-like (no Souls :lol:), and I enjoyed it enough to play through this fairly large demo, including a nasty boss at the end. It does lift a LOT from Bloodborne, or remixes it slightly to create a similar effect. To the point that I felt like it was living in...

My worst run was the blue Smelter Demon. Just awful, loads of hard enemies and some wizard things firing magic at you, and no shortcuts. I ended up brute forcing it and just waiting till the enemies stopped respawning! I didn't do that one, couldn't be bothered to fight a different version of the s...

Interesting. I loved Dark Souls 2 but couldn't get on with the DLC at all. I found it had some of the worst boss runs in any From game along with exponentially increased difficulty from the base game. I didn't manage to finish a single one of the 3 additional areas. The more flamey type place (I ca...

I've finished the main campaign of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin . I've played through it fairly quickly, as I wanted to finish the story and leave it for a little bit before I come back to the DLC. Maybe some of the optional areas I missed too, if it lets me. I probably won't wait too long...

Love this, here's a quick few that come to mind for me. Active reload/cover (Gears of War) : Makes the less exciting parts of the action, hiding and reloading, feel excellent and a skill in themselves. Rally (Bloodborne) : Creates a great risk/reward between whether you back off to heal safely, losi...

Haven't even beat Breath of the Wild yet, or got very far past the tutorial.... Think I'll leave it for now and at some point make a decision if I want to play them both or just Tears.

Making decent progress in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin . It's the only From Soulsborne type game that I haven't played. I held off on it due to some of the arguments around it, figured I'd prioritise others. Overall I'm enjoying it. It's janky and thrown together at times, but still plays ...

So finished up main game of Crash 4 but am now going through the N-Verted levels. Last level, Cortex Castle was an absolute ball breaker. Cannot remember the last time I swore so much at thwe screen! This definitely is the hardest Crash I have played and while I did get very annoyed at it I reckon ...

The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past Two games in one day! It’s a record for me. I’ve finally finished A Link to the Past! I have to say I didn’t like this game for the most part. I liked the dungeons but even they were obtuse at times with the puzzles and lack of signposting which is what my mai...

Demon’s Souls is an interesting game to come back to. It’s got a debut album feel, establishing a lot of the core features of a From game, but feeling rough around the edges, much shorter and less ambitious than later games. The biggest changes for me were the Archstones and the bosses. The Archston...

Just downloaded it! Not sure when I'll get to it but probably soon.

Sorry to hear about the motion sickness! I know FOV and motion blur can often play into that. I adjusted them and increased the camera speed, more for my own preference. If the pre-registered settings aren't doing it though not sure what would help.

Not sure if you already played the original (?), but I've always found that first section to be the most anxiety inducing part of the game because you're so badly equipped (literally and figuratively) for an encounter like that. It isn't as much of a panic once you've made some progress, picked up ...

Just made it through to Chapter 6. Really enjoying it so far. I'm taking it slow and admiring the gorgeous scenery. I love how every time I'm feeling a bit more confident, the game will throw something new at me, or crank up the intensity. Only minor issue I experienced is an apparently common one, ...

I'd agree on Crash 4 getting hard. Never tried Stormy Ascent but I'd be interested to hear how it compares to this game. The last few levels, especially the last one, are absolutely devious. It's a decent game though. I'd also agree on Luigi's Mansion 3 being a bit boring. I played it a few times an...
