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!

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

    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.

    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.

        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.

      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.

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

          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 😁

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Final Fantasy 16! Trying to savor it as it feels like an event that only comes once a decade now.

      I’m just loving the epic-ness of the boss fights. Not sure how far through I am, but will be sad when it’s over

        The best part is the almost every boss feels like the last boss of the game and somehow the next boss is always more epic than the one before it. Really a great game. I wish it had a bit more fan service for those who grew up playing NES and SNES fantasy games but it is still an amazing game. Best RPG for me since tails of arise.

    The Crew Motorfest beta. Maybe try a bit more of Dysmantle too, see if it grabs me or not. Played a couple of hours but I’m still not sure yet.
