Disco Elysium (Switch) Also currently playing and the enjoying this on Switch. I've been playing about 3 hours and still only just examined the hanging body out the back of the cafe, there's just so much to do and see and people to talk to! It's a really dense world.

1. Dark Souls Remastered (Switch) - 3rd Jan 2. Pyre (Steam) - 10th Jan 3. Disco Elysium (Switch) - 17th Jan One of the most singular gaming experiences ever, with absolutely sumptuous writing. The world, the music and characters are all unforgettable, and I'm glad I procrastinated on this until the...

1. Dark Souls Remastered (Switch) - 3rd Jan 2. Pyre (Steam) - 10th Jan I started this around a year ago and decided to get it finished over the last few evenings. If you got the BLM donation bundle from itch.io then you own this and you really should check it out. Hades is one of the all-time GOAT ...

Recently hit the milestone of 1500 downloads for my podcast, K-Botak: Korean Cinema and K-dramas . 26 episodes out so far with the 27th tomorrow morning SGT. Covered series like Squid Game, Hellbound, My Name, Kingdom, Sweet Home, Dr. Brain, SF8 and more. Reviewed movies like The Wailing, Seobok, Ti...

Pyre Back on this. A unique game, which I'm enjoying whether I'm sending my caravan trundling around the gorgeous biomes, chatting with my weird friends or playing ritual basketball. The music is sumptuous as well. The real star of the show is the artwork by Jen Zee. It's astonishingly beautiful. I...

That isn't a problem I've had, so I'm not sure I would be able to find a solution you haven't already tried, but I have an idea that might be worth trying. If you go to the settings on the Xbox app (you can find it in the drop-down menu under your profile on the top right), go to General settings, ...

1. Dark Souls Remastered (Switch) - 3rd Jan Inspired by some other folks doing likewise in the Modern Escapism Discord, I decided to try for the SL1 run! This is one of if not the most fun playthroughs I've done. Learned loads of new things about the game mechanics, bosses, maps, found and used rea...

Hi folks, Can anyone help me with getting PC Game pass to actually install games? I signed up for three months for a dollar just to try. Glad I only spent a dollar so far as I can't even use this service. Have been trying to get some games to install for three days, all I get is the 0000x1 error cod...

I took a break from Sekiro and started it again from the beginning on Boxing Day. It's going a bit better now I understand levelling up etc this time (I'm not smart). Have just beat horse man in the main timeline and veat the shinobi hunter in the Hirata timeline yesterday. I still genuinely don't ...

Are you playing Disco Elysium on Switch? I'm really wanting to play it, but that's the only version available to me and wondering how it is on there... EDIT: Oh actually, just checked and its on Xbox too, didn't realise! Haha, you might not need this info any more but just in case, and for anyone w...

In between my Dark Souls SL1 playthrough (brilliant way to re-experience the game and get to know its world even better), played some Loop Hero. It's really good and extremely absorbing for something where the combat is "idle". A bit like the old Warcraft strategy games or AoE where you're...

Witcher season two had me feeling guilty for not committing to the Witcher games, so I started Witcher 2 yesterday. I spent a lot of time just figuring out the combat/menus/mechanics, but I think I'm in a good spot now. I really enjoyed what I've played of The Witcher 2. I think the opening couple ...

Aye, I did see that but I sort of want to see the game at or near its best. So my laptop might be a decent compromise.

I think learning the combat in Sekiro would make me less frustrated if the lead up to the minibosses was more fun. I find the stealth not particularly fun and more laborious, but I quite enjoyed the repeated run-ups in Bloodborne (or at the very least I could run past most of them). But I really wa...

The first Monster Hunter Stories is on mobile and you can play the first 5-10 hours free to try it out. Really charming little world and characters, although it has a different aesthetic to the sequel. More chibi! I actually bought that for a couple of quid months back and never tried it yet - than...

I must admit that I used a guide in LAD for the bosses if I failed after one attempt, just so I knew the best approaches to take them down. I don't particularly like doing that but they often take so long that I just wanted them done with and not have to keep playing them. I did check a guide after...

Yakuza: Like a Dragon Writing about this here as I played 50 hours of this game but won't be beating the final 3-4 hours as life is too short. I will watch the final cutscene on YouTube. I played this as despite the change in combat mechanics it seemed like a good on-boarding point for the series, ...

There is nowhere quite like Majula is there. I've never known a hub in a game world that is so comforting but also melancholy in that way. Just love gathering all my weird forgetful friends together there throughout the game. Sunbro'ing is great fun isn't it! I think DS2 players will appreciate it t...
