A lot is happening today with the community migration today, so I will keep this brief:

I beat Tchia. It’s wonderful, but has it’s flaws, mainly combat. I think it deserved the scores it received, and I can’t say enough how much I loved it. If you even remotely are drawn to it, I would highly recommend giving it a play through.

I am about halfway through Uncharted: Lost Legacy and it is really bringing back those Uncharted 4 vibes I wanted it to. Really loving the relationship between Chloe and Nadine and I also find myself marveling at the graphical details.

What are you playing? Let us know below!

    I started playing Alan Wake and so far it’s interesting and it looks pretty good. I’ve had my eye on Exoprimal. Might wait for a sale tho $60 seems a little steep for a multiplayer.

    Jedi Survivor. It’s buggy and glitchy and not a world beater game but I can wield a lightsaber. A woman of simple pleasures.

        I tried Fallen Order, but navigating was an absolute nightmare. Spent about two hours running around in circles trying to get back to the ship, then I gave up on the game and never went back to it.

      I wanted to play that one as well, but saw Odyssey on sale so started with that yesterday. Will save Valhalla for later this year.

          Haha, maybe I’m being overambitious! I’ll definitely will pick up Valhalla around the Black Friday sales period and at least start playing it this year 😁

        I started that too…. But then I started with this. I’ll be going back to that though once I’ve finished this.

        I’m enjoying it :-)

        It’s HUGE. I’ve been playing for around 50 hours, and only just found a 3rd map. I’ve not bought any of the expansions yet, this main game is plenty for now. I’ll probably wait for the season pass to be on sale before I get that.

        Games this size are a mixed blessing. You get your monies worth, that’s for sure, but you wonder how long the story line is and if you’ll ever get to see some sort of ending.

        It’s a good game though… well worth it.

          Yeah, I think that’s the main issue I have heard, game is too big. And for someone like me with limited time, I am starting to prefer tigher experiences more.

          I am still going to give it a try someday. Not sure if I will finish the game or not, but at least want to start it.

    Making my way through FF16. According to the PS5 dashboard completion percentage I’m at about 70% complete right now. So I might be able to finish over the weekend, but having a six-year-old at home might make that harder to accomplish.

    Either way, I’m really enjoying it despite it being absolutely archaic in terms of its actual game design. It’s really carried by its presentation, soundtrack, and decent story. They’ve arguably stripped away too much of what typically defines a Final Fantasy game here, but I’m still having a great time by just choosing to appreciate what it does do well.

    Just downloaded Dysmantle, as I heard good things about it, looking forward to trying it out over the weekend.

    I’m about 15 hours into octopath traveler 2. its been a long time since i’ve played a JRPG like this one. the story and design are great so far. Getting a little bored with the grindiness of dungeons but that’s the nature of things in this type of game. The amount of choices you can make as any character with their battles at any time is mind boggling, which makes boss fights really strategic but a regular fight against grunts can be tedious.

        I actually do have Fallen Order, still gotta complete that. My gaming sessions come in waves lol. I recently finished the main story of Watch Dogs Legion on PC so I should go and complete Fallen Order’s.

    Just got a console thru a nice sale recently!! I’m new to PS gaming (haven’t played much gen games too aside from the occasional PC ports), so have been checking out PS Plus games.

    I’m playing FF7R remake these days, and while I really enjoyed the original, this one I have mixed feelings for. It’s got nice elements here and there, but the amount of filler is really getting to me. Plus all the times you have to walk slower.

    Still, I am enjoying myself, just feels less satisfying knowing how the original went. Curious to see how Intergrade will play (might skip if it’s more of the same).

      Well, not all games are meant for everyone, if you don’t like it that’s fine, there’s a lot more to play.

      If you want some recommendation, you can ask here, just share what you have played and what kind of games you are looking for, I am sure the community will be glad to help.

    Hi! I’m currently on my second playthrough of The Last of Us: Part 2. The first time around, the PS5 patch was released a week after I completed the game, so now I’m enjoying the 60FPS upgrade. I have a stack of games to get through and as a parent, my time is limited. I have Death Stranding, Skywalker Saga, Cyberpunk 2077 and probably a few more I’m forgetting. :-)

        I don’t normally play games through twice but after the excellent HBO adaptation, I wanted to play the games again. So it was my third time on the original game using the PS4 remastered version for the second time and the second time with the PS5.

        I never played both games one after the other like this, so now the storyline makes more sense and I’m enjoying it a lot more than the first time. I have such a bad memory.

    A bit of Battlefield 1 the best online shooter I’ve had the pleasure to experience and South Park The Fractured But Whole a pretty fun RPG that feels just like you’re playing an episode from the show.

    So I have Diablo 4 and FFXVI with about 20 hours each…

    And here I am playing the FFX/X-2 remaster for the nostalgia. I’m probably gonna return to FFXVI sooner but man the mid-game death of my favorite character made me take a pause.

        I’m not sure tbh. I played the original Witcher on PC a long time ago and the save file was lost at some point. I just started TW3 with the default choices.

      I got totally swept up in the hype for the original back in the Xbox360 days. I’ve started playing this new remaster and it feels a bit janky to me. It’s like they’ve upped the resolution and textures and done nothing else.

    I’ll try to finish Death Stranding.

    A whole weekend might get me through two, maybe even three cutscenes.
