Just downloaded this month's free PS Plus games (Days Gone and Zombie Army 4) to play.

Days gone is a great if underrated game, but does take a few hours to get into , so please bear with it.
Also on ps now for a few months ( not technically free I know ) is Marvels Avengers , looks pretty , I can say that much for it

I quite liked Days Gone, for a fetch quest game. I played it after The Last of Us 2, so, you know, that made it look a bit like it has been made by a 5 year old but still, it was pretty good.
I'm working my way through the Switch back catalogue via emulation. I'm just embarking on Super Mario Odyssey. Honestly not sure if I have enough life left for the entire catalogue but I'll have a good go.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I thought the original Last Of Us was very pretty, but dull as hell to play - just no variety at all. I generally enjoy more open world style games because there's more shit to get up to.
(That said, would give Last of Us 2 a shot if it's ever a PS Plus freebie.
)
We've got to the stage in the last gen cycle when I can't even remember what the last game I bought was - PS Plus to thank for that!

PS Plus is bloody good, isn't it? What did you think of Remnant? I bloody love that game.
TLoU2 will be a freebie when 3 comes out in ten years time.

Never done VR. I was waiting for it to be named a fad and sold off for 50p at jumble sales.
Steel Icarus
maybe I'm a maze
Just bought Death Stranding, Control, and Horizon Zero Dawn now I have a PC that will run them. Have started the first of these; it's fucking nuts lol

Still Zelda. I can see why it was so acclaimed. But also with side ordera of Mario Kart, Just Dance, and Mario Party. Although much less of that, because it causes such THIS IS UNFAIR!!!!!!111!!!!1!!!! THE COMPUTER IS CHEATING!!!!1111!!! rage in my daughter.
Also like the dutiful sucker, I mean dad I am, I also played Animal Crossing a little because she wanted me to wish on a shooting star, because they're superrare or something, and one was due that night.
I've been really impressed with the Switch.

Mario party makes me rage and I’m 42.
We’re replaying BOTW at the moment. It’s quite fun pootling around. I have no desire to do the end fight stuff but probably will get sucked in.
We’ve still got stuff to do on the Mario vs Bowser game I think.
Will possibly go back to Animal Crossing for a bit as spring and summer are lovely.
I really do love the Switch. Nintendo are amazing.

I despise all Nintendo/Mario games. Too retro for me.

Zelda Breath of the Wild looks and feels what it would be like if Studio Ghibli had made a better Skyrim. Someone recently discovered that a really good way of fishing was to look for flocks of sea birds over the sea and then, err, chuck a bomb at the sea underneath them, because said bird flocks go fishing. That's quite a nice example of the world systems.
I'm not sold on the 'retro' games thing, because frankly, games are so much better now days, in terms of graphics, complex world system, opponent AI, story telling, etc. The form factor of the Switch, and it's catering for both casual gamers, and more hardcore gamers is impressive. Also with an 8 year old, in the house, I don't really want to play hardcore blow/beat/shoot/etc the flip out of things games in the same way that I wouldn't be watching 18 certificate films with her.
So, in short C64 drool, and Speckies rule. nods

My time is split between Football manager, Crusader Kings 3 and Shadow of Mordor at the moment.
Shadow of Mordor is really good. About 20 hours in and once you get the hang of it it's great.
Ditched Far Cry 4, but might give 5 a go at some point.

If you didn’t like 4, I’d maybe give 5 a miss.

I didn't really give 4 a chance mainly because I wasn't keen on the setting in the mountains. I couldn't be bothered with the climbing. Is 5 different? I liked 3.
Mortal Kombat 11
Why, god knows. I get stupidly angry when I lose.
Which is often.

I don't know. Sometimes we have this knuckled-headed idea that we won't let a game beat us. I'm currently replaying Homeworld after many years. I'm finding it much harder than when I used to play it in the 90's, which is kind of depressing really.
The sad truth is that I am basically shit at video games. You should watch me play Call of Duty. These twitch streaming kids getting their 25-0 killstreaks and there's me unable to get anything.

Oh, if you liked 3, then 5 is worth a go, I'd say. I thought 4 was a lot like 3, but with some nice enhanced ways of engineering chaos between enemies and the local fauna - I really enjoyed it.
Plus, the crab rangoon is really very good.

Death Stranding should have been called 'Death Stranding, lol'. Carrying your dead mum about is just the best ever thing in a video game. In anyone's opinion. Yes it is.
I'm replaying Wasteland 2. I'm currently trying to get to the Ag Centre aka the start of the game. I have just moved the difficulty down from rock hard to super easy and am progressing nicely, tyvm.

Outriders, played the demo and had fun then saw it was 50 quid in Tesco's ( game prices these days ffs ) yesterday and thought sod it, who needs food...
I'm pretty impressed with it, think Division 2 / Mass Effect / Gears of War in nice alien environments , it's pretty too.
Is it worth 50 quid ? I've not delved that far into it and not tried the co-op yet so not sure, but if you can get it for 40 , id say go for ( note you have to be online to play it )
EDIT : It’s great fun in co-op too

Ghost runner which I got in a Steam sale.
Kinda Super meat boy v Mirrors edge but faster and if you pull that kill streak off, insanely satisfying. It's a super twitchy game.
Had to set the dpi on my G503 to 6300 to play this game, I can't use the mouse set like that in windows.

All the YouTube reviewers are going don't get it till they fix some of the terrible issues that are plaguing it, especially not being able to play it at all.
