Not played it myself but watched my brother play a little bit of it on his PS5 the other day.

Apparently takes 5hrs to complete so can't see it being long enough to get boring.

Doesn't seem good value for £24.99. Comparable £ per hr of gameplay if you just bought call of duty at release date and just play campaign mode.

Seems a unique gameplay experience though.

I finished it and enjoyed it. Won’t be for everyone though as it’s mostly exploration with a few other gameplay mechanics thrown in here and there. But I enjoyed the environments, the music and the story. But it is very short.
 
Casual gamer here. Whats the score with ps5 stock these days, do you still have to flog a kidney to stand any chance of getting one, or are they becoming more widely available?
 
Recently managed to get an Xbox Series S as I have been wanting to try the new Flight Simulator and my PC which is perfectly fine for internet, just can't manage it.

It is absolutley amazing. But one thing has upset me a bit: I was flying around Manchester and they have done Old Trafford all 3D and everything, but the Etihad Stadium is just 'flat' - to whom should I complain!

I'd keep checking the big retailers everyday. Argos and Amazon etc.

They had stock of PS5s with Horizon Forbidden Forest for 499 a few weeks ago when I checked.

Or go into a GAME store in person and ask if they have a waiting list.

If you are just a casual gamer though, might be worth looking at the Xbox if you aren't fussed about the PS5 exclusive stuff.

Plenty of stock of Series X on Amazon

Totally agree. One of the only games I ever actually wanted to finish everything in the game - Nero research things, all the horde missions etc. I've been hoping for a sequel, but it looks like it's been rejected by Sony or something? Never understood the bad rap either. Fucking awesome game.

Recently finished it myself and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the issue might have been that like most recent games, it was released when it wasn't fully polished. Had it been released for PS5, I think it would've been better received with 4k checkerboard and 60fps.

Sign up with PlayStation and they will send you an email to get direct from them I had one in my basket the other day but stopped myself, my series X is getting hammered at the moment I really dint need one.

Thats coming to Switch soon. Is it an action game or an open world game? Is it super difficult?

Bit of both, medium is easy enough to be fair. But the story is phenomenal, if you take take to go through the quests and dont't think the first ending is the end and stop. You play through it a few times from different charecters to see it all. I hadn't played that type of game before and nearly jacked it induring the first boss, but glad I stuck with it. Easy top5/10 for me. Oh, and the music.......

for those that liked the Dead Island trailer back in the day.

they released the music for the 10th anniversary ( granted this was last year )

 
I thought I would pop on and mention a game I have enjoyed playing today (it is new today so people may not have heard of it): Turbo Golf Racing.

It is basically Rocket League crossed with Crazy Golf.

I think the only problem might be a legal challenge from the Rocket League people, although its tricky, when is a game idea 'stolen', I don't know.

When I first heard about it I assumed it would be several people chasing one 'ball', but no, each player gets their own ball and its a race to get it in the cup first, by bashing into it. There are power-ups too.

I used to enjoy Rocket League, but I have limited time for games (and I'm not great at them) so I was finding I might get 2 - 3 touches in a game, with this because I have my own ball I'm finding it much more fun.

Its on Gamepass for Xbox
 
Recently sunk a fair bit of time into playing through the Dishonored series (multiple times for various endings) and then Prey on series s. Really enjoyed both. Any recommendations for something to move onto that may pique interest? These two games definitely filled the Witcher shaped hole in my life after I'd finished TW3, but now looking through games pass and struggling to feel inspired by what I can see.

If your looking for time sink RPG's on gamepass

the obvious choices are Skyrim and Fallout 4. Both are massive and you can download mods to alter the game,change graphics ect.

Other recommendations are The Mass Effect Trilogy and Middle Earth: Shadow Of War.

Also Unisoft have games on there now so Watchdogs 2 and Assassin's Creed Origins.

There's a couple of excellent JRPG'S as well.

Dragon Quest 11 and Octopath Traveler .

I would also recommend The Yakuza Series. All 7 games are on gamepass. All are great games but can be batshit crazy but the stories in each game are excellent.

All the games I mentioned you can easily sink 50 hours plus into each game.

The really big news is that The Persona series is coming to gamepass in October starting with Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5

Persona 4 is one of the best games I've played and both 4 and Persona 5 you get easily clock over 100 hours into them
