Finished replaying The DIG today. Still very pretty and some nice ideas, but in retrospect definitely flawed with some hair-pullingly frustrating puzzles and a specific instance of pixel hunting that I hate. Ended up resorting to a walkthrough on occasion as it was getting to the point that I wasn't enjoying it.
I'm still glad I replayed it though

I still need to try this series out; as someone who is really into games with strong narrative!

Still finishing Odyssey which I’ve really enjoyed but the new one is on my wish list

I haven’t finished either Odyssey or Origins yet. Odyssey is just too difficult - got stuck trying to kill the Madusa. Origins is just so big and I’m a completist.

Busta Rhymes is an unstoppable movement
Yeah I played origins (I think) for a few hours but didn't click. Liked black flag but the one before that was 2. Don't normally like them but there's something about this one.

Liked Black Flag but got stuck on knocking out some ninjas. Odyessy gets better and better the further you go after you power up loads of levels and ignore the battle fields.

Struggling to get into Far Cry 4. Not keen on the climbing as it makes me feel sick. Does seem to be much the same to Far Cry 3 but with a different skin. Though I preferred Far Cry 3 and completed that. Is it worth sticking with? Shame as I wanted to get 5 too.

Thanks. Will maybe come back to it and give it a bit more time. I've found most ports for PC fine but not feeling it so far.

Wife and I finished Bugsnax and are on our second playthrough
Aside from that, been a difficult week or so and haven't had much drive to finish Talos or Hades yet.

Goodness. Playing Red Dead. The mission where you set fire to the tobacco fields is really quite something visually. Realised I'm only 35% my way through the story though. Why do I pick such huge games?

I'm going super nerdy for my birthday and recruiting a bridge crew from my friends soon

I've bought Paradise Killer, Assetto Corsa, and Earth Defense Force 4.1. Only played the latter so far and it's brilliant; stupid, Starship Troopery mayhem

Is that the VR game? I have that on PSVR - it's not bad, although obviously VR graphics are a little pants compared to regular PC games. The controls take some getting used to, with switching between all the different roles, but it's fun enough if you enjoy all the Trekkie stuff.

Yeah it is! It was probably the single most geeky birthday celebration I've ever had
One thing I'll say forthe game is that it's infinitely better playing with real people. Babysitting three ai players in single player feels like too much to handle. We also tried to take on the Borg in the TOS enterprise and failed spectacularly. All the controls are toggles and switches without labels, in a pressured scenario you just end up flailing around and dying

Unfortunately I don't know anyone else with a headset, so I'm limited to playing solo. Probably why I've hardly played it for months.

I'm doing ok on controller for the time attack, but from the brief try I've had at the first race it's very difficult. The AI cars are just driving away from me even on the straights.

You can get a wheel for under £200 or probably less from someone with it in a box like me. All in all, it's a pretty unforgiving game. I just don't have what it takes to be really good at it.
If the RSR app is actually still going, this is essential - it gives you lap times from other humans for your chosen car/track combo, and thus ranking. This can gives you a proper sense of achievement (or despair) as you knock fractions off your times.

Tbh I'm saving for a PC that can properly run games like Control, Horizon Zero Dawn, Cyberpunk, Death Stranding, Flight Simulator, etc. A wheel is never going to be a top priority

Just finished Control. I know that RTX has largely been regarded as a waste of time, but it really enhances the look of this game with the use of light rays and cast shadows.
Btw, I'm working through a couple of puzzle games; Manifold Garden and Gris. Both are lovely to look at and really rewarding when you solve a problem.
