Same as ever: dominated by people with skills might years beyond mine and an endless cavalcade of painful defeat and dropped inputs.
It's pretty decent though. Looks nice on ps4 pro. I can't afford £500 for a ps5. Lots of content which is a nice change. Stillcomplicated though

I shot a man in Reno...
Replaying Baldur's Gate Enhanced Editions 1 & 2, Ice Wind Dale 1&2 and Planescape Torment in anticipation of BG 3. It's a bit of a pain in BG1 that two of the best companions (Kivan and Coran) have time limited quests you have to complete or you lose them.
Anyone played BG3 early access yet? Any good?

Giant in Pastyland now
Gunraiders on the Occulus, New Zelda on the Switch and FM23 on the PC. Mainly the first one. Oh and chess but the boardgame, son got into it and plays on chess.com so we got him a nice real set to play in the gardcn. Gets him outside and I have to deal with him knowing tactics from videos I have apparently been doing but never heard of lol. Was a lot different playing 30 years ago.

Jedi Survivor .. it's great! Lightsabres, double lightsabres, dual lightsabres, plus han solo's blaster. Use-the-force trickery, mind control etc. Badass bosses and beautifully-rendered, tripped out sci fi locales. And tons of finger-twisting attacks and parkour moves. Plus the music (not the soundtrack as much as the cantina music a certain droid npc dj plays) is great. Top stuff, even weaned me off Cyberpunk 2077 (still got Hogwarts Legacy waiting for proper attention, seems a bit sedate and conservative just now tbh)

I was given the new Zelda game for Father’s Day (must have raised them right) but we play Dragon Quest XI together so waiting to complete that before starting another massive game

Restarted Mad Max, as I didn't really give it more than a few hours when I first played it several years ago. It's good fun - basically Assassins Creed with cars, but the environments and characters are well done and I like collecting things.

Busta Rhymes is an unstoppable movement
Mad max is that rare thing, a good open world game.

Finally finished this, after almost 3 weeks and around 29 hours played. It's odd how much it kept me engaged when the gameplay loop is basically exactly the same as Assassin's Creed (collect these things, unlock these locations, find these objects, do some storyline quests unless they're locked behind progress) - maybe driving a fast car around in the post-apocalyptic desert is simply more fun then riding a horse around ancient Greece.

I've been surprisingly drawn into Hogwarts Legacy. I sense it won't last, but I must say it's fun even for someone who's never got into Harry Potter at all aside from reading 'and the Sorcerers Stone' (when it was called that) and unintentionally seeing all the films at one point or another.
Jedi Survivor still utterly rocks, I'm aiming for 100% completion on this which I don't normally care about, but in this case I genuinely don't want to miss anything. There are so many great bits but off the top of my head the initial arrival on Koboh where you're trying to get overland to the first main settlement, is amazing. The first main mission (through the desert to find pilgrim's sanctuary) on Jedah is absolutely epic, and the final escape with Merrin is quite breathtaking.

Have they sorted the bugs out now? And if it's PC, the performance issues? I mean, I'm still waiting for a sale but curious.I've been surprisingly drawn into Hogwarts Legacy.

I'm waiting for Starfield. And then a bit longer for the worst bugs to be sorted.
I could do with something fun in the meantime, but super casual that's easy to pick up and then not play for ages. I don't have much time for gaming at the moment, but there's been a few times recently I've thought Id like to do, but don't have anything on the go.

Picked up Arkham Knight for £3.50 as I've never played any of the Batman games. For something released in 2015 it doesn't look bad at all with everything on max. Would be the perfect game to play on the sofa, but I've still not got round to setting that up, feels to much like actual work for a Friday evening. One of these days I'd love an OLED monitor but it would be a ludicrous expense for the amount I actually play.

Good game, well worth £3.50. As i recall they shoe-horned loads of the villains into it, actually i might be thinking of Spiderman

Tbh I'm not super up on the lore so I'm sure loads of stuff will go over my head. Grappling hooks and gliding round the city is fun though.

Fuck the lore! I always enjoyed the gadgets/stealth/combat, plus BATMOBILE!

Played through Suzerain recently. Its a narrative based political game. You take over Sordland as president following years of economic and social chaos. It's pretty fun though I tanked the economy completely and despite giving free health care, prescriptions, free education, women's rights, employment rights and supported the Bludish freedom movement the citizens still hated me apparently.
There's a lot of great detail - lots of the characters and nations have been fleshed out.
I reckon it's worth a play through, but I am not sure how flexible it is and as it's only one term a lot of the things I'd like to push through won't pay off by the end of the term - for example schooling. A perfect example of flaws with 4-5 year terms I guess. There is a lot of "talking" in the game which is good the first time around, but a chore for a second play through.
There is some DLC coming out so I'll definitely get that.
I've also started Power to the People. It's fun and a bit like mini-metro. Not sure I'll play through the whole campaign, but I grabbed it in the sale.
Also I highly recommend Cheap Golf. It's £2 on steam and is a old school style golf game (think Atari) but with a weird background story. I've been dipping in and out of it and enjoying it a lot.

It was a hot, flaming mess at release but they did eventually fix it so it's a great buy at that price. One thing they changed was to make a lot of the Batmobile stuff optional instead of mandatory, and that helped it a lot.
I went back and played all the Arkham games in lockdown, and they hold up well. In fact, the second one that I liked so much at release was - I thought - the weakest on replay.
