Woah okay, where can I get the game? Is it downloadable or buyable?. Thanks :D

For the physical version, you can purchase it from any good local games or online retailer.

For the digital version, you can buy directly from EA's Origin platform or from other online websites.

Ive been hovering over the buy button for a day or two now, you liking it?

Yeah I'm liking it.  It's a quazi-side-scrolling (side scroller, but with a little bit of depth where you can walk forward and back) game.  I'm not sure whether I would call it a "puzzle" game, or a horror game, or what.  There's no story line blatantly announced or told, it just sort of drops you into this world and you sort of figure it out as you go and things happen.

 

I'm still pretty early in the game, I just now made it to the third "level" or "zone" or whatever you wanna call it, but so far I've enjoyed it enough to make it worth the $20 USD I paid for it, :)

 

Edit: Also, here's a link to screenshots I've taken of the game so far: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/screenshots/?appid=424840&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall

Quake champs (is ok IMO, nothing special tbh, Q3 with new gfx) and Player unknowns Battleground....omg so addictive , put it this way, i lost 11hours to it on Saturday with 3 mates. Only realised once my bum cheeks started to hurt and it was dark outside....oooops bang goes all of saturday then!

 

Also picked up Alan Wake for £2.99 with the DLC, kept meaning to play this when it came out. Ive played the first 30 mins or so, got to the cottage on the island.

I am loving the Last of Us remastered on PS4 Pro  with 4k HDR TV.    Amazing :)


I played it for couple of hours on PS3 before, did not like it much at first...   but now I am 8 hours in and I am loving every bit of it.

 

Also playing Ratchet and Clank and Dishonored 4.    Both only 1 hour in, but liking them so far.

Since I last posted here I finished Horizon: Zero Dawn and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Now I'm playing The Witcher 3 on the PS4 (had it on PC before but grabbed the "complete edition" on PS4 as well when I found it on sale for $20.  I LOVE CD Projekt Red so I figured I'd put more of my money in their pocket at that price.

 

Also my Steam PC died (I only put Steam on my prior PC as I'm trying to break from Steam and go mostly DRM-free going forward. I still want access to games I already bought though and I often get codes from various things like Kickstarter).  So I'm down to my DRM-free primary PC and the PS4 until I build a new PC later this year (which will become my new DRM-free PC and my current one will become my Steam box).  Also my gf has taken to enjoying watching me game on the PS4 (I can't imagine watching someone else play a game for hours but I'm not going to complain if I get to the be one playing, rofl) so that's what I mostly do now.

When she's not home though and I get some PC time I'm working on Torment: Tides of Numenera but it's slow going as I get very little PC time.

I actually finished "Little Nightmares" a couple weeks ago, but thought I would post my verdict here for those curious about the game.

 

The game is actually fairly short.  I finished my first play-through in 6 hours, and I died a few times and spent some time trying to find some more collectibles on my first time through.  However, the game was only $20 at release, and it's extremely well executed, so I can forgive it for being short.  It's a platformer/puzzle adventure game where your primary goal is to navigate the world without being caught.  It sort of makes me think of something that would be inspired by "Spirited Away" and directed or drawn by Tim Burton.  The story line is never explicitly stated either.  There's no speaking, no written language of any kind, the story unfolds as you interact with the world around you and the characters in it.  It's a beautifully done game though and highly recommend it, :-)

 

If you would like to read it, I have a longer review written on Steam here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/recommended/424840

For me, it was worth every hour spend. One of the best modern games I ever played. 

Currently, I'm jumping between Alien, Isolation and Overwatch on the Xbox One.  Alien, Isolation is such a pain to play especially when the Alien can pop out of anywhere.  I've died more than I care to admit because it popped out of a vent shaft or I was too loud walking. :(

I have just finished Mass Effect: Andromeda and I have to say, I actually really enjoyed it. Once you get over the animation issues, it has a good story that I'm looking forward to see how it progresses.

I'll be playing the new Prey next.

ive started playing the latest wildlands DLC, pretty good so far, once you accept you have to now make a 3rd character....no idea why they thought this was a good idea on every DLC for it, it seems, makes all the hours you spent maxing out your perks pointless in the original game.....like duh! But what do you expect from Ubisoft :p

ARMS global testpunch - surprisingly difficult and in-depth fighter. Sadly I don't think it's possible to play without motion controls during the test, but I can see myself enjoying it more without them.

Dawn of War 3

PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds - finally a survivor / battle royale game which doesn't suck or has a dev making promises which they'll never keep or features that will never be implemented.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
