I’m genuinely amazed that Breath of the Wild isn’t in this list. It’s the closest video game to Elden Ring in quite a few ways. A very challenging, very big world filled with mysteries - no other open world game comes as close to the same experience.

Why am I a burden to others? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Jesus Christ. Your username is kind of ironic considering how revolting your personality is. Your sanctimonious abuse is completely unnecessary. 

That’s like saying that shooting things in Doom doesn’t exactly feel particularly fun or satisfying to anyone that doesn’t care for first person shooters.

Based on the headline, it’s imperative that someone points this out:

Yeah I live very near Salisbury and Avebury, I walk my dog around Avebury stones all the time. Such a beautiful, mystical area. My girlfriend and I go to the winter solstice every year to mark the beginning of our holiday fun (before dragging ourselves around the country to visit our families).

Portable gaming has always been my favourite, right back to getting my original game boy on my 8th birthday. I’m 32 and it’s still going strong! Just to throw a few out there:

Tom, if I could give you a hug right now, I would.

Sorry to crap on that idea (an idea that I would also love to see), that ain’t happening. ES6 will be like a more Skyrimmy Skyrim.

How does that zombie have any charge in his phone to listen to music?

If your point is that a load of trash games come out every week for the switch, I would point out that Deltarune is the sequel to Undertale.

Yep, you’ve still got a way to go yet! I won’t say more because I played it blind and it constantly surprised me with great content, but it’s a very generous game!

I’m pretty sure you’re close to the end of one section of the game. Average completion time is around 80-100 hours. It’s a big game and wonderful all the way through. All killer, no filler!

You got it man. My girlfriend’s family live up there in the Lake District (we live in Somerset) so we are headed up there on sunday for a few days. Frantically trying to plan a rapid fell-walk in between festive gorgings. She thinks Helvellyn is too ambitious at this time of year but I’m working on it.

Beautiful. I live in the uk and one of the things that gets me through the winter is walking my dog across the fields and through the woods where I live, when it’s misty and atmospheric. About an hour before dusk when the light goes all rinsed out and sodiumey, and all you can hear is the creaking of tree branches and…

The Xbox One is such a bizarre console. After getting out everything they had planned when they announced it, they basically left an almost empty shell masquerading as a games console. Half-hearted and vain attempts to repair it since have been equivalent to jabbing a corpse with a cattle prod. Such a failure in…

This could be a punishment for buying digital instead of physical.

I think Hellblade counts as a modern western mid-tier. An indie with a reasonable budget and fair sized team.

An Obsidian take on Borderlands.... well, let me think about it for a second ER YES PLEASE
