It's okay if you want a Fallout in space sort of experience. The story starts out quite well, too. It's just one of those games where it's quite clear that they ran out of time when finishing it.

Got Red Dead 2 to run on my PC by turning all the settings down to "potato", and it's great so far - just done the train heist.
Downloaded Star Wars Squadrons this afternoon as I've borrowed an Oculus Rift from college...looking forward to having a go tomorrow

Fuck you Dave!
I finished the main game quite quickly but there are numerous side missions.
I thought it was okay, not as compelling as Fallout. I didn't feel like I got to the know the game very well and, more to the point, I didn't really want to.
I've just started The Witcher 3 in order to sate my open world thirst. And until the new Crash Bandicoot comes down in price!

Lucky you, The Witcher 3 is probably the best Western RPG. So much done right. I've completed the main game, and everything but the final mission on the last DLC, because then I'd never need to play it again if I had completed it

I quite enjoyed The Witcher until I got stuck quite early on. 
I give up quite easily mind as I get bored doing things over and over

I found with both the Witcher and Assassins Creed the trick is to save at key points ie after youve completed a mission so if you get on one you cant complete you can go back to a save and choose another path to follow.I quite enjoyed The Witcher until I got stuck quite early on.

In a moment of boredom i signed up for 3 months of PS Now last month but still haven't gotten into a game. I think its because there is a lot in front of you and i am suffering "game blindness".
Any recommendations? Ideally something that's not too hard to get into but could also swallow up a good chunk of time on these dark evenings that are upon us.

That's one of things I liked about it. There was far more unique missions, rather than the standard go to [dungeon, vault, tower, marsh, Basingstoke] kill [bandit, monster, mutant, ghost, Tory Mayoral candidate], collect [treasure, magic item, iPhone with compromising material on it, unique weapon] style generic feeling quests. Quite liked the 'oh you thought this was the 'good' option, lets see what's actually happened? Oh you've killed a whole village, but you did save 3 children, well done you' style missionsI quite enjoyed The Witcher until I got stuck quite early on.

Fallout 76 is good. I gather that they've fixed a lot of things that people griped about on launch, and the recent update makes it more standard Fallout like, with NPCs with dialogue changes, and that. I think I prefer it to Fallout 4.
If anyone's playing it then DM me if you're up for a game.

It’s less to do with decisions but being rubbish at fighting monsters

The key to enjoying TW3 is literally to know when to pick your battles. It allows you to go up against some very difficult enemies from pretty much the beginning, and you literally can't win. Bide your time, steer clear of them until you've levelled up a lot, and do that stuff later. I spent a long time getting destroyed before I learnt this.

Just picked up Just Cause 3 for two quid, done the first couple of missions. Silly fun

I’ve always played easiest right from the startI seem to remember you can turn difficulty down mid game.

bought Frostpunk in a sale a week or so ago and been playing that for the last couple of days. Enjoyable city builder type game with a survival element. Hard, really hard. I've been able to win the main scenario on easy but not on medium, let alone hard or extra hard difficulty level.
Premise is that the world has frozen and you are trying to survive in a steampunk style world. you need to keep everyone warm and get enough food and other resources to build buildings and survive the coming great storm.
Not sure how much replayability it will have or if I want to pay for more scenarios but well worth the £8.50 I paid for it.

I drunkenly paid for the remastered version of Dark Souls on PC which I already own on xb360, it was 1/2 price and comes with the DLC.
I wanted to play as a mage this time around, but holy crap you end up being a knight to get anywhere.
I'm persisting though, need to get that muscle memory up to speed again.

I enjoyed it but have found my motivation to do it again even on different scenarios wasn't there. I did surprise myself by surviving on medium as normally I am fucking shit at most games and I did it first time. Can't remember what approach I took, but definitely have to focus on coal production and upgrading the houses where you can. I wondered if there were good ways to lay out the city so that you could time the heating to only be needed during the day, but didn't get around to trying this.
I paid £20 and then I saw it on sale and was a bit annoyed at first, but then thought it kept me entertained for the weekend when I was really bored so overall I guess it's not that bad. Definitely worth picking up in the sale and I might go back to it.

im still playing it, just at the end ( but need to do the oolacile dlc first ) as a mage....
you can play it as a mage , just go and see the blacksmith near new londo ruins as soon as you get to firelink shrine and if you havent spent your souls after beating the first boss you can get more spells , apologies if you already know this

Getting to grips with ranged and mele, always melee before. The spells take so long to cast and you're locked in place with the soul arrows. A fine balancing act between wading in or a spell certainly at the start. I've always favoured no shield and the lighest armour. I'm going for a parrying shield instead of nothing I think. Its too satisfying to ignore. Just need to grind a bit more I think.
