Here are some shit your pantser's...

Amnesia

Outlast

The Evil Within

ROFL:thumb:

Just putting another plug in for Returnal. It's a true AAA roguelike, and IMO is probably one of the greatest I've ever played. If you are unsure, wait for it to drop to $40, but I'm up to 20 hours and still have only made it to the third biome.

I might have to check it out, I almost have Hades platinum on playstation. That's my first roguelike and it seems I kind of like the genre or maybe I just like this one because it's so well done and I kind of dig greek mythology.

Most Roguelikes are made on a shoestring to modest budget, so it's quite nice to see one get a AA+ treatment with cutting edge graphics and production values. The story itself is fairly interesting; feels like Alien meets Edge of Tommorow. The first 3 biomes I've explored look great; they are highly Alien looking and very creepy , almost foreboding. Lets just say there are moments where this game really traverses into sci-fi horror. As I've said earlier, the protagonist is pretty good, I think she's earned her seat as a main draw for Playstation "mascots". She's certainly more compelling that Aloy was from Horizon.

The real star of the show is the sublime combat. It's a mash-up of bullet hell damage avoidance in a 3 dimensional space meets twitch third-person shooter. There's a nice risk/reward reload mechanic that's reminiscent of Gears of War to go along with very punchy and unique weapons (we're talking from carbines, to shotguns, up to homing rockets, crystal shooting guns that connect to make laser webs, and of course the Rotgland Lobber). Weapons have random mutations each run to give great variability. I'm a die hard roguelike junkie so take it with a grain of salt, but it's definitely my game of the generation in the PS5/XSX era so far...but on PC.

Played each. My favorite of that group is Evil Within......though I have to say, nothing gets the heart racing more than trying to hide in 'Outlast'.

I'm not a big fan of no ammo/hide all the time games, but Outlast did it right.

The Evil Within 2 is pretty decent too

Picked up a copy of Hogwarts for the wife since she's big into Harry Potter. Watched her play it for several hours. Gorgeous game. Looks like fun. Was really surprised her toaster could run it.

Server issues 95% can't get in....lolz

It'll be interesting to see if Starfield can possibly live up to the hype.

F Microsoft for buying Bethesda and making this an XBox exclusive.

It'll be on PC too, although that leaves out PS owners.

Wasn't it supposed to be out by June? Now September? Not sure how official that release date is.

It's official...until it's not.

It's only going to get worse. Both sides are going to start really doubling down on exclusives.
