Did you get the rave reviews for The Witness?

I never played it. Like I said, puzzle games aren’t usually my thing.
Not debating whether this game is actually brilliant or not (though sentiment on steam reviews right now seems to be that the critics have wildly overrated it), but I’ve read guides that said you should keep a fecking word document of things you’ve seen and stuff, that’s just not my idea of a fun game. I use word documents for work!
Also side note, it really annoys me how slow you move.
Same old Spanner, always moaning!
Looking great.
Saw that PSN ID last night. What the feck.
Did you sub though

I've been replaying Doom Eternal ahead of the new one and, I've surprisingly, really enjoyed it.
The bits I remember not liking, like the jumping, have been fine. I forgot how forgiving it is. And the mechanics in these modern doom games are sensational.

Over my head.
I have two trophies left to platinum Shadow of War but they're so grindy and boring.
I’ve finally bought Cuphead, been meaning to for ages, now just to find time to actually play it…
What a game. Finished it completely, was so fun.
Bit surprised myself but that Doom trailer doesn‘t do it for me. Dunno. It‘s gonna be an amazing FPS for sure but part of me thinks this would have been better suited for a Quake comeback. Or it just highlighted for me what elements are still missing from the doom1+2 games + the absence of a proper Quake (1) re-run.
Dune > Doom
Didn‘t know about that one. Looks promising
Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War platinum done! Brilliant games. Got a bit annoying at the end of each platinum, especially Shadow of War doing the online stuff but the story and Nemesis system is so good. Loved playing them.
Think I'm going to finish off the platinum of Forbidden West now and then move onto God of War Ragnarok next.
Depends on what happens with Oblivion, Clair Obscur and AC: Shadows. Want to play those three but don't want to pay full price!

Rip. I died 500 times trying to complete it. I'm not joking
Yeah I’ve played 30 minutes and I can see how that’s a thing…
I'm trying to slog my way through FF7 Crisis Core Reunion and I don't see why this game (or the PSP original) is rated so highly. Laughably infantile writing, mediocre-at-best combat mechanics and mindblowingly repetitive mission design, there's virtually nothing good to say about this. I went into this because I wanted to experience Zack's story but man, even that side of it seems barely worth it.
On another note, I recently completed Sea of Stars and found it decent, but not as good as I'd hoped. It's definitely charming but a bit too simplistic, both in terms of combat and characters. Being a massive fan of The Messenger (and particularly its soundtrack), I was a little disappointed in this as the next game from Sabotage, but it was still worth playing. The art is lovely and hearing variations of The Messenger's soundtrack throughout the game was pretty neat, even if it's nowhere near as good as that game's.

Yeah k struggled with Crisis Core for the same reasons. Got about half way through I think but was a slog.
I did the platinum for it but that was a huge grind due to the amount of missions there are to do. I can only think the reason it was rated as high as it is was is because it was on PSP originally. The PS5 port for me was c. 6/10. The game itself is alright but nothing special and the dialogue is really really bad.
Sea of Stars started off so well but then the combat was just the same thing over and over again, I finished it but was pretty disappointed by the end.
Hated this game. It had no charm to it at all. So basic.
Yeah the combat system never evolves and definitely outstays its welcome by the end, despite the game's relatively modest runtime (for a JRPG-style game). Everything seems designed to provide zero friction, which sounds good on paper but leaves the whole experience feeling a little vapid.
Good lord. Who said Horizon Forbidden West had the best combat mechanics? The Melee Pit stuff was a nightmare to do. You input what it tells you and it doesn't work.
I think its widely accepted that combat against humans is somewhere between terrible and mediocre. Them Pit quests were a definite low point
