I‘m still on the “ This looks adorable and I love DQ Builders and ACNH but I’ve never played Pokemon and what if i hate it?“ bandwagon. I’m so indecisive. I drive myself mad.

Trust the faceless internet strangers and buy it!

My new PS5 arrived today. I'd been considering getting one for a while, but had resisted the urge. However, as I had a bonus at work recently and it coincided with a temporary price reduction (£409 on Amazon) I went for it.

So far I love it! I got Jedi Survivor (I'm a big Star Wars fan ), Last of Us Part 2 and Hogwarts Legacy. I'd already played Hogwarts Legacy on the Switch but I really enjoyed it and would have had a second playthrough anyway, so buying it for the PS5 with the far superior graphics was a no brainer.

I'm loving it so far and I'm really glad with my purchase. I was a bit worried I'd get some buyer's remorse, but it's the opposite.

Apparently their cancellation page crashed due to high traffic when it was announced

That new pokemon spin off is reviewing really well, looking forward to it!

Hi guys. Currently playing RDR2 (not played the first one) but will be finished soon I think, anyone got any recs for similar games? I also love the GTA and Assassin's Creed franchises. I play on PS4

Sounds like you have similar taste to me. I love The Last of Us franchise. Enjoyed Watchdogs too. Timb Raider?

 

[WhatABore]

Trying not to convince myself to buy a Switch 2 just to play Pokopia
I must not and cannot afford to... but I want to play it

I rage quit it last year as I couldn’t get to one of the statues I was easily able to get to 20 or so years ago

I found the spryo trilogy not too bad - although the first game was a bit tricky - but I ended up rage quitting the crash bandicoot remake after a seemingly impossible level and had the same thought about it being a kids game

 

[Emmapism]

I bought ghost of Yotei today. Anyone else played it?

Yes it's brilliant. Was my game of 2025.

Currently playing Resi Evil Requiem which we are loving

I've been playing through the most recent tomb raiders recently and have nearly finished, does anyone have any recommendations for similar games? I absolutely love Zelda but have played BOTW/TOTK to death, but looking for something in a similar vein!! I was thinking of one of the horizon games but open to other suggestions! Thank you

The Horizon games are brilliant if you haven’t played already. Need to start with Zero Dawn to follow the story.

I just bought it after a few cocktails!! 1. It is super cute and 2. My kid will want to play this instead of wobbly life

Stardew Valley win: Insignificant step for humanity but a big one for me, I found an auto-petter in skull cavern Finally.

 

[RaveChampion]

I'd like more games with decent single player campaigns and good professional and engaging writing/story telling.
I realise I'm in the minority with not liking MP though.
I think that the focus on MP is killing creativity and innovation for well crafted SP games though.
It vexes me when the SP campaign is just an adjunct for learning the MP.

I'd like a passable/credible COD installment this year too rather than just another cash grab. The last one was piss poor and the one before barely adequate.IMO.

I could go for a new decent Resident Evil installment too.
"Resident evil:the village" gave me the fear.

It actually was harder. I saw a games developer saying that moving the game over to the latest platform but with essentially the controls of the old game meant the whole thing was out of sync and why so many found it impossible. People played the PS1 game to compare to see if it was the same and the PS1 was a lot easier.
