Imagine telling someone that FOUR HOURS was not enough to know if they liked a game. After that time, I surmised that the knock back is an essential part of the gameplay (as you said), and that’s why I stopped playing. No one is taking anything away from you because a random person on the internet did not love the…

This looks dope. I wanted to like Hollow Knight so bad, but the way you kind of bounced back from attacks in the combat never clicked with me, even after four hours of play.

I didn’t watch the anime until last year, and I have to agree. I really liked it! But I did find parts of it clunky and some of the dramatic turns towards the end felt unearned. Oh and then there are the episodes that end with you thinking, “Uh oh, how are they gonna get out of this scrape?” And it’s never mentioned…

Like Andy here, I started playing it years ago, at first out of curiosity, and then my kids got into it. I have never been good at building and almost never do it, but I win games regularly (maybe I’m coming up against a lot of bots, I don’t know), and I still have a good time completing quests and finishing the…

I’m glad Fortnite has worked out the kinks so other devs can look to them as an example. They’ve been tweaking their system for years now, and the current setup is pretty great. Literally everything gives you XP. Open a chest? Do some fishing? Survive another circle? Kill someone else? All of it gives you XP.

I bought this when it was in early access on PC, then bought it again when it came to Switch, and it has been installed ever since. It’s my go-to game if I just want to play something but not really jump into anything new or story-heavy. I’ll go months without playing it, then jump in and discover all kinds of updates…

Overall I’m very happy with my Series S, but the size limit really stinks. I have an old 4TB SSD hooked up to my Series S and I use that as my main download drive, then I transfer the games I am actively playing over to the internal drive (only X/S enhanced games, Xbox One and older games work fine off the SSD). The…

Yeah I came to Dying Light more than a year after it released, and after an hour or two of playing on PC I got a mod to make my weapons indestructible. I still needed to loot materials so I could build better weapons in time and just dump the old ones, but that mod dramatically reduced the amount of time I spent…

I would never expect a studio to get a battle pass right at launch. I’ve been playing Fortnite for years now, and they’re constantly tweaking how it works. For my sons, who can login when they get home from school and play tons on the weekends, the grind doesn’t matter, but I appreciate Epic’s move recently to make it…

It was pretty fun watching this trailer with my sons last night:

Son 2: “Is that Buzz Lightyear?”

Son 1: “No he’s not a toy.”

Me: “No this is Buzz Lightyear, but he’s a real person.”

Son 1: “Buzz Lightyear was a real person!?”

Son 2: “No! He’s a toy!”

Me: “He’s real in the world of this movie. Not in our world.”

Son 1:…

Yeah and that weirdness is something I wish they would examine more. They seemed to do it a bit in 5, but didn’t go far enough. Like none of Master Chief’s friends ever stop to be like, “Hey bud, what’s the deal with you and this AI?” Only the spartans chasing after Chief were questioning his attachment. I guess the…

That Far Cry-like sandbox (even if it isn’t quite open world) looks like it would be quite a bit of fun in co-op, so it’s a huge shame it won’t be launching with it.

I’m sure people in the comments would prefer Nathan Fillion, but I always thought Bradley Cooper would make a great Nathan Drake.

No it doesn’t get any better. I finished the story and generally liked it (after cranking it down to the easiest possible setting, because I was not having fun with the combat), but I couldn’t bring myself to play more. I came back for each expansion and...didn’t finish any of them. Even the recent Wakanda one. It…

Absolutely this.

I have an old Pixel 3XL in an attachable controller (it connects via the USB C port, not bluetooth, which cuts down on input lag considerably) that I just leave next to my bed like it’s a Switch.

I liked the heartfelt first couple of hours, I loved the writing—the bits of first person narration between dialogue are really cool—and I also like the low-frame animation. It’s got an animated show feel, though I wish instead of draining color at night it would just shift to a new palette that’s just as vibrant.…

What a bummer! I was already on the fence about trying this with my ancient i7 and 1070ti. What's gonna come first, a patch, or my ability to actually find and purchase a PS5?

This looks like fantasy Infamous, complete with that series’ snarky protagonist archetype. I am always down for a game that makes the simple act of traversal fun, and the way she zipped around that environment looked very fun.

My younger son basically spends all of his time in Party Royale, which is just the big open world map, without combat. You can drive, fish, explore, hang out with friends, etc. He loves it. He also loves creating his own worlds, since Fortnite has a seemingly endless number of props to use when building.
