It's really good. Nothing like battlefront, more like a platformer with added jedi fun.
What are you playing at the moment?

Yeah, strong Tomb Raider vibes so far. I prefer a more on-rails experience than an open world with a thousand side quests.

Feeling ill so went looking for an RGP and got Dragon Age Inquisition. Still finding my way around it.
My third party PS4 controller is on the way and I'd been thinking of getting an X-Box one anyway as it's obviously what PC games prefer. Can't find official MS ones at approaching a sensible price, apparently there's a shortage in Europe. Hell can't even find a decent third party wireless for the £50 mark!

Fall Guys on the switch. Completely bonkers and great fun but can't see it holding my attention for very long.

I did a 24 hour charity gamathon last week, playing many games, but Fall Guys had my controller on the floor in about five minutes lol

Got covid and had the house free this afternoon so put “Days Gone“ on, which was a PS+ game a while back.
It's about these two bikers, but they're those type of US bikers who think they are peacekeepers or something. Anyway, Zombies happen. So it's post-apocalypse survival stuff, usual collect ammo, craft bandages etc. But you also have a bike.
Your mate is called "boozeman", entirely unironically, and your name is Deacon St John.
At one point, having just killed about 15 people, Deacon gets surprised by a woman and he says "I don't kill women, if I have a choice" and Boozeman says "Deac, one day your code is going to get you killed". Cos he's a crazy romantic fool who doesn't like killing people, or something.
I think I might play it, it'll probably be pretty funny.

Imagine that being your thing - "I don't kill women, if I have a choice".
Met Dave yet? Great guy, doesn't kill women unless he has no choice.
Happy to kill men though, and well, I wouldn't rely on what he says either. I saw him kill 25 people in about ten minutes, and then rifle their corpses for spare rags.

I've got around to working out what made my fission reactor do an atomic rage quit.
After carefully reproducing my reactor build in a simulation (i.e. starting a new game slot in Creative mode), and by carefully watching all the indicators on both the reactor itself as well as the associated heavy plant such as the industrial turbine and the bank of Energy Cubes, it seems that once all the Energy Cubes become full, the energy reservoir of the industrial turbine will fill up pretty rapidly. When this is completely full, the turbine will rapidly fill up with steam. With energy storage being full, the steam is not being consumed and has nowhere to go, so the heated coolant tank within the fission reactor fills up. Once this happens, the reactor is no longer being cooled properly and buys an express ticket to Meltdown City. There is an extremely narrow window of time between the turbine filling up with steam and the reactor melting down.
So now all I have to do is build and test a safety shutdown mechanism. Which means playing around with redstone. Not my strong point, but sacrifices must be made in the pursuit of progress...

Yeah, I am pretty much using the shotgun with fire rounds, a decent pistol and a rifle on single shot with armour piercing rounds. Cba with fannying about changing things all the time.
It's quite funny that the pistol grip shotgun will take out a helicopter but the rifle won't. I think it's the fire rounds tbf but still.

I don't know how I did it, just randomly fucking around and not doing story missions, I ended up with this huge cat, and now I can shoot perfectly, before this I though my aim had gone to shit because i'm getting old. Now I'm just walking into bases and clearing them out with even triggering alrams. Boss as fuck.

Aye I was trying to watch the 16 minutes of gameplay video and Jakey nearly knocked my monitor over searching for the cat - the movement seemed to be realistic enough for him that he detected "cat" visually and watched for a while after having been woken up by the feline VO - then went round the back of the monitor in a bit of a frenzied hunt for the "cat".
I can't afford it atm but have wishlisted it to keep an eye on when it is discounted in future.

Been replaying a lot of ald games of late whilst i have the time, and realised they were all pretty bleak. So had a goose for a cheap bit of lightheartedness.
PLaying Death's Door. Very playable, not hard, nice story and who can'[t relate to being a crow reaping souls for the company?

I've been playing this roguelite called Vampire Survivors. I keep getting clobbered by the massive incoming square wave of pale zombies on the first map, though. That feels like complete bullshit, because it always seems to happen when I've not got a lot of health, or when I get screwed by the RNG and haven't come across a lot of damage upgrades.

I've started Cloudpunk. Bags of atmos. Not sure there'll be much game tbf but it's a great world to explore.

Keep going. Get garlic, that puts a ring around you that damages and pushes away enemies. You can pick uo to eight (I think) weapons and five? support things. Different combinations allow your weapons to evolve, once the weapons get to max level. You can also, in true roguelite fashion, get coins to buy permanent upgrades.
It's one of my top "I just need to not think about anything for half an hour" type of games.

Hard West 2 is a funny one. There are bits I really like - the cards are inspired and some of the levels are well designed. Characters are decent, OK story, good atmosphere.
Gameplay is the current trend towards aggressive turn based games (gears of war tactics, warhammer 40k chaos thing) but ramped up to 11. Like sometimes you are facing ten to fifteen enemies at once and every time you kill one you get all of your action points back. So it turns into a puzzle game, working out the best way to get rid of as many as possible. Which is fun, but also means a lot of staring at the screen.
On the bad side it does things like teleport in enemies with no warning who kill you all in one round, which is basic stuff that shouldn't happen any more, or suddenly there are enemies who can drain all your health each round with no cool down. It autosaves every round, so there's a lot of going back and preparing yourself for the bullshit that you know happens next.
So I reckon 6/10. Lacks polish.

It is simultaneously really really dull and also absolutely hilarious. I hate it but also really like it. The motorbike is quite good. Bit like the Mad Max game but not actually good.
