Thanks to a gaping lack of a social life, I’ve managed to get through a harrowing number of video games in the first half of 2019. Here are my unsolicited assessments.

Sunless Skies: Been back and forth on this and ultimately have to give the game two marks: One for its writing, the other for its gameplay. It’s a gorgeous, terrifying and brilliantly thought through world that begs you to immerse yourself in an alternative history where Queen Victoria became a demi-god and now rules from heaven. The dev’s decision to not include any way of speeding up travel utterly hamstrings it and ultimately will nark you off from fully exploring it. Shame. Writing 9/10 Actually fucking play it 3/10

Steamworld: Hand of Gilgamech: I had fun with this - it’s a cute and well designed combo-carder. I’m much harsher on card games since playing Slay the Spire though, which makes any game based upon resistances/weaknesses and squeezing measly percentages out of upgrades seem tired and rote. Game also suffers from a serious overdose of pallet swapping (there’s a dragon you wind up fighting about 6 times) and just frankly not being that involving. The weakest of the series imo. Score: 6/10

Baba is You: Superbly thought through and presented concept. Hard as absolute nails. Feel humiliated by it tbh. SCORE IS FUCK

Ape Out: Perfectly formed capsule of fun. Uncomfortable about how short it is. I wish to out the ape some more. 8/10

Void Bastards: I got plenty out of this roguelike-Bioshock-FTL-type-thing, largely thanks to the huge number of fun gadgets you get to mix n match whilst navigating around the derelict, David Firth-infested spaceships. The Judge Dredd-type visuals and universe were a (extremely bleak) treat, too. 8/10

Tyranny: This one is better than Pillars of Eternity on account of it being much more focused, and also because you can play it as a Darth Vader simulator. 8/10

May my judgements inform your purchasing decisions moving forward.

playing a lot of GT Sport at the moment. Anyone on PS4?

I really am tempted to get a force feedback steering wheel. Any suggestions for a set up that won’t take up the whole lounge?!

i haven’t played it for a while but really enjoyed it when i did - when people aren’t being idiots on Sport mode it’s ace, can have some really good battles and the matchmaking generally means you’re racing against people of a similar ability. probably the best online experience i’ve had in a “proper” racing game

if you want to get a wheel, i started off with a Logitech G29 which is a really good wheel and not super expensive, think i got mine in a sale, and clamped it to an ironing board. i upgraded that to a Playseat Challenge which is essentially a folding chair, so you can fold it up and put it away when you’re not using it.

Ive been trying to convince people im the ff thread its a good game after they declared it one of the worst games of all time. Bet most people who voted didnt even play it!

#3136

Ps the new expansion is apparently one of, if not the best final fantasy ever, if you were to jump back in

#3137

if you could only afford one, Mario Odyssey or MMaker 2?

I wont allow it the whole time this community does 14 dirty like this

I think it’s wonderful. I didn’t play it at launch. so I don’t know what state it was in then, but it has SO much to it and such a great world. It’s just got an epic amount of content and it’s a FF game. Only reason I stopped playing it is I couldn’t just dip in and out because of the sub. These days I’m Black Desert purely because FF14 isn’t on xbox and I don’t like my PS4 much anymore.

Launch FF 14 was apparently awful, thats why they basically remade the game :smiley:
