      I loved playing the first one, looking forward to playing 2 when it goes on sale in the future

        I wasn’t going to jump on it because I have an enormous game backlog, but buying the bundle (pre-launch), since I already owned the first one, was $25. Money very well spent for this game in my opinion.

    Just bought ratchet and clank rift apart on PC and really enjoying it. Playing in bed on my steam deck has taken over my last few nights

    Very little time to play lately, so when I can I do a couple of runs in Dead Cells. Managed to get my friends online last Friday and we had a good session of Deep Rock Galactic. Good fun.

      OMG.

      The feeling when you’ve forgotten one of your favourites from when you were a kid and you read the name and think “that… feels familiar and exciting…” And then Google it to confirm it’s the very game you were hoping it to be!

      Thanks! I’m getting it immediately!!

    I’ve bought all the soulsborne games on release going back to Demons Souls, and I just sucked at them.

    I am finally playing Bloodborne after giving up at the first boss many times over the years, playing co op with my girlfriend, who has beaten them all and platinumed quite a few.

    While I got good enough to beat most of them, except Sekiro, I just couldn’t get the rhythm of Bloodborne, and always gave up, even though I know many people consider it the best in the series.

    Going back to my tried and true method of “Just keep grinding and leveling up till you figure it out” finally worked, I beat the first main boss yesterday (with her as summons).

    Really looking forward to this one as I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers.

      Keep grinding dude, Bloodborne will eventually click and you’ll get through it no problemo (as long as the fps drops don’t annoy you!). I haven’t played any video games for more than a year since I got burned out on them, but recently just played through another couple playthrough of my fave DS:R (since it doesn’t require much thought or effort for me anymore). Hopefully I can muster the energy to finish Elden Ring next (I’m about 80 hours in).

      I bought it on my daughter’s PS5, and got a few hours in, but then she sold the PS5.

      Might get a chance to try again some day. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The Hunter: Call Of The Wild. Not as focused of a hunting game as you think. I find it a super chill walking nature simulator with amazing views and animal models.

      I got into this game when RDR2 awakened a need for a good hunting game in me. I really enjoyed my time with it! Looking forward to the fishing one once they iron out most of the issues.

        I wish they were the same game I’d pay twice for it as the Angler forests, ambience and maps are no where near as good as the hunter. Waiting for a need zone? Throw a line out and have a fish.

      I’m in the same boat. I’ve mainly been doing logistics. But sometimes I’ll bring up a field gun or tank to use.

    I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!

      The little red ball things that give you health when you kill them make exploring the map so much fun. I made it a challenge to see how far I could explore without resting at a grace by actively seeking out those red ball enemies and it was so much fun.
