The shield sign makes this easy (Quen)

It's essential, but even with it large packs of creatures like wolves or neckers, that would be nothing more than a trivial annoyance on normal, can be deadly very easily. Anything one on one is easy tbh as long as you know how to dodge and Quen.

Machiavelli- I also took a while to get up the mental fortitude to start such a dauntingly huge game (I reckon it was 18 months after buying it I actually played it for more than 15 minutes), it was a bit overwhelming at first and I just found reasons to delay. My wife ended up completing it and I eventually decided to give it a proper go and it's honestly the best game I've played this gen and you honestly could spend an entire year playing nothing but the one game tbh, it's that big. The plot is great, the characters are great, there is so much to do, the world is vast, beautiful and full of things to do, Gwent is horrendously addictive and the combat is spot on. It's pretty much perfect tbh, barring the slightly long loading times when you die

Overcooked, omg, soo bloody additive and infuriating at the same time. 8.5/10

What is overcooked? I heard they will have a character in smash Bros..

Far Cry 5 is a lot of fun.

Well, CES was a little underwhelming for pc parts. Nvidia continue to price gouge, Intel won't have anything interesting out on the desktop and AMD on a GPU front haven't put anything interesting out.
That being said it looks like AMD are going to smoke Intel on the CPU front with the next Ryzen series, not too surprised by that though. Complaceny from Intel is eventually being punished

Literally understood nothing of that.

Lol
CES stands for consumers electronics show where the big guns can make some big announcements regarding products.
Usually the big 3 AMD, Intel and Nvidia might announce products, it was a bit underwhelming

Unfortunately that's not as exciting as it sounds iirc, just new pictures on existing cards (which you won't even notice as you've not played without it). Doesn't matter though, Gwent is still ace.

It's a coop game, it's up to 4 players, basically have to cut, cook and serve, soup and burgers, well hard but very addictive, my missus doesn't do video games but she's even hooked.

Overcooked is great fun with friends, manic but fun

Gorgeous on the PC. Play with a mate in co-op.
