Alan Wake's American nightmare, been in my steam library for ages but never actually played it, it's pretty good.

X-Com2 - it's fucking really hard, but I think I really like it. I'm trying not to save during the missions but I also think I'll constantly lose otherwise.

It is really tense , when you get to the end of a game the countdown almost a gets to zero , I love it though , also research the psyops stuff

I feel a bit frustrated with the countdowns but I heard most people camped in the first game and it was too easy/a bit boring. I need to find a way to be quicker and obviously pick up more gear.

Yeah lots of people didn't really like the countdowns but it stopped you just sitting there with overwatch on. I really liked them, makes you plan ahead and you can judge when you need to drop everything and peg it to the evac after a while. It's something else to think about.
There are difficulty levels btw, I think?

Pathfinder is really good BTW. If you like those kinds of RPGs anyway Good story. Difficult decisions and you can be evil in an interesting way, which is quite cool. So many choices too. Bit overwhelming.
I just chose my mythic path and have more spells & abilities than I can fit on one screen.
It's a bit buggy, but nothing too awful yet.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous? I'll add it to the list.
Yeah I like that aspect of it. I think my only concern is that I'm not good enough to actually complete any missions straight off the bat. I also don't want to save and restart a mission all the time as I think that removes some of the aspects. I might restart at some point now I've got a bit of a handle on the basis. I'll see how I get on, but I have a craving to load it up again so that's a good sign.

Deathloop. I really liked Dishono(u)red so thought I'd waste my money on a premium game right at the point of release. I know I balked at paying full price for Psychonauts 2, but hey. Also, I'm quite enjoying the whiny gamers complaining about it being too 'woke' because the main protagonists are black.
Definite elements of Dishonored and Prey in the game. I'm having to learn not to go guns blazing and spend time figuring out what's going on. Enjoying it so far. We'll see....

I loved dishonoured and the original prey, but havent been too sold on this one, Can you let us know how you get on with this after you have played it for a few hours please?

Will do. It's really quite witty and looks lovely, but I imagine figuring out what I'm supposed to do is going to bit of a task.

Dropped the level on Xcom2 which I normally don't like doing but has made it manageable and allowed me to get used to the game. Loving it and still finding it really hard.
Good shout whoever encouraged me to get it. I'm generally trying to avoid failing missions so will restart if my whole crew gets wiped out but otherwise will accept losing 75% of the crew. Can see replay value once I've got used to it.

ruffneck23 I'm 10 hours in and getting a hang of it. I'm playing it on a PC with and i7 9700K processor and RTX 2070 super GPU, and I've not experienced any of the stuttering that a lot of people have complained about. It's enjoyable but I don't think the environment and story is as rich as Dishonored. There's a lot I haven't encountered yet, so this may may improve, but Dishonored draws you in from the beginning. I would say it's worth playing but wait until it's on sale.

New World all week - managed about 30 hours actual playing, and another 5-6 hours in login queues. It's a lot of fun once you do manage to get in though.

I've bought Sable for the graphics and The Eternal Cylinder cos it looks bizarre. Too tired to play them tonight but looking forward to getting into both over the weekend.

The former is available for Xbox and the latter across all platforms
