Played Atomfall over the weekend for the first time, it's a decent premise and the setting and atmosphere are really good, but it's like they forgot about the gameplay until the last minute, the combat is the clunkiest I've seen since Atari ST days but the stealth doesn't work well enough to try and run it without combat, it's genuinely bizarrely bad. It's a real shame because the presentation deserved a lot better.

I think that was one I saw in this the other day and maybe also on a Best Buy DOD discount. what's sad is I watched (most) of the video and don't think I saw the chick in screenshot below featured/referenced even a single time in any of the 10 games.

Recently back on the Sony train. BAsically had both PS4 and xbox but then went solely xbox as I had kids and whatnot. Then about a year or two ago I sold my xbox series x because I just was never playing it after my 2nd kid was born. Probably the first time since I was 11 years old (now 35) without a console.

Now they're a bit older and I have more free time so I bought a PS5 to play all the exclusives Ive missed over the years.

Games ive downloaded so far to play (some arent exclusive, just ones ive missed in the past year or so as I was consoleless)

• Astro Bot (started this and really only because I bought the digital astro bot bundle and turns out this game is incredibly fun)

• Star Wars - Survivor (been playing this for the most part, basically because I feel like its the first of the list that would be removed from PSN plus. Loving it but Im a star wars junkie so no surprise there)

• God of War

• God of War Ragnarok

• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

• Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

• Assassins Creed Shadows

• Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart

• The Last of Us series

Done the below:

• Star Wars survivor - really fun as expected.

• God of war - after years since I played the installment before this one, was so great to come back to the world of kratos with this one.

• God of war ragnarok - absolutely a top 10 game I’ve ever played in my life. Was really just perfection. The twist with the big guy really fooled me and the characters and supporting characters were all just incredible

• Last of us part I - awesome

• Last of us part II - longer awesome

• Astrobot - wow what a surprisingly fun game. Haven’t finished it yet but I pick up and play it here and there and never regret it.

Still to go:

• Uncharted: a thief’s end - starting this next

• uncharted lost legacy

• Assassins creed shadows

• R&C a rift apart

• Dynasty Warriors - just added this to the list as I saw it’s on psn plus. Absolutely loved this series back in the ps2 days so excited to see what’s happening with it now.

maybe one day that fogtag @Poopy will take after you and invite happiness into his life.

Re: God of War/Ragnarok - the fact that both games (if I'm not mistaken on the 2nd) are each one continue "shot" over the dozens of hours is just remarkable for them to have accomplished.

Uncharted is another GOAT franchise. Did you experience the first 3 sometime in the past? I've never had any issue revisiting them when it comes to mechanics, even though each entry has gotten better with things like melee, stealth, etc. I saw AC: Shadows has a $30 discount today with all the weekend deals, and my friend and his wife said it was solid, but I still have a backlog so I'm holding off on buying that.

There is a new Dynasty Warriors: Origins which had a strong review online but I have not seen it come down to "impulse buy" pricing yet. Not sure if this is the one you saw... in which case I will need to boot up and get from PS+ asap.

Yes I played all the previous uncharteds and loved them.

The psn one is Dynasty Warriors 9, not origins. Interested in origins though, it is on sale currently for $52.49

I have so many games I still haven't gotten around to playing that I only spend above $20 (at most, $30) on new release blockbuster titles that I am waiting for -- like a Ghost of Yotei, Spiderman 2, Hogwarts Legacy, etc.

I played a cool game called The Alters, which has a very similar premise as the Duncan Jones movie Moon if you've ever seen it. Short but entertaining playthrough, which is all I really have time for these days.

I wasn't impressed with Hogwarts Legacy. It had a lot of potential

I realized last night that I got to Level 39 and Lv40 is where another trophy pops in. I think I got made that I was left with a collectible that I couldn't find/discover and stopped playing (this is after beating the game and clearing all the various regions of the map). I enjoyed it quite a bit
