Have to see. Given the company's history, it's likely to be a bit of a walking simulator.There have been some great games in that category, though.

Started up the Witcher 3 again with the update, got to Novigrad, place is teeming. Can barely walk without people in the way. Don't remember it like that, wonder if they've upped the NPC count.

Did anyone else not know about this bike messenger game that looks like a mix of Jet Set and Crazy Taxi?

What a niche crossover. Good find!

Does playing on the PS5 mean it's mod free?

I'd feel naked and exposed.

Is that good mod?

I am a vanilla player, so have never looked at it, but there is a Creation Club option, which is mods, IIRC.

Senua jumps straight back in, still intense AF.

Diablo 4 on battle pass has got me bad. I gather the game had a terrible launch but it seems good to me after a few seasons. It's kinda the game I wished Baldur's Gate 3 had been (having played and loved BG 1&2), instead of the turn based D&D snoozefest it was (imo). I can't put it down

Anyone got a copy of Breath of Wild they want to sell me?

Oh man, I forgot this was being released. Better download it.

I'm really into Diablo4 can't get enough of it.
The launch game was great, but it took hundreds of hours to hit max level and kill Uber Lillith at which point the end-game content fell off.
Each season has added a lot of variance to the builds, sped the levelling process up and made the game more rewarding, but this 4th Season is almost like a re-imagination of the game.
They've corrected almost every flaw the game had ready for the Expansion to come out (which they announced yesterday).
If anyone had been tempted before hand but put off by reviews, they won't be disappointed to try now.

Hype intensifies...

I never played the first one but took advantage of gamepass.

Not sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't a very linear walking simulator with occasional combat that's barely more involved than quick time events. I'm only managing to play it in 30 minute sittings before getting bored.

Good news - new CoD has Thatcher in it.

Bad news - you can't kill her.

Yeah. What's a sensible price? PM me.

cod zombies?

I like something a bit more linear and you have to play it with headphones, atmospheric and a good story innit.

You played Alan Wake 2 yet? Exceptionally atmospheric and good story and headphones!

DLC dropped recently, though I've tried it yet.

I should play the first one first really.

What a treat! First is also excellent, if perhaps a little longer than it needs to be.
