    Respawn's (Titanfall and Apex Legends developer) Star Wars Single Player game set to be released in November. I am very cautious because all EA Star Wars games so far have sucked but Titanfall 2 was a very good game.

    So maybe something to look tentatively forward to.

    My god, I visited the recent Star Citizen alpha update and I cannot believe how much time and effort they spent on features that are not fun in a quest for realism and seamless travel.

    Am I glad I only pledged 30€ on Kickstarter all these years ago.

    Currently playing Dishonored 2. An absolutely fantastic game! Don't know why the critical receptions seems to have been not that great at launch. Really enjoying this, at least as much as the first game.

    Just finished Ori and the Blind Forest. An absolutely amazing platforming game. No wonder it received so much praise and is getting a sequel. Not quite as amazing as Hollow Knight but still extraordinarily good.


    Can't wait to get my hands on the 2nd game.

    Took a break from Rocket League over the weekend and got back into playing Red Dead Redemption 2. May have done one or 2 main story items, the rest of the time was spent fishing, hunting and helping out random strangers. I forgot how much fun can be had in this game.

    I played, and finished, My Friend Pedro this weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, its mechanics and visuals. It was a fun side scrolling shooter.

    My nephew strongly recommende me the recent Marvel Spiderman game for ps4. So I went out and bought it and gave up before the end if the opening level. The controls are just terribly unintuitive to me and for some reason you can't remap them the buttons. It's a terrible experience.

    I'm just too old and cranky for this. :cry:

    Played God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn from his list of console recommendations before and enjoyed them a lot but this one is not for me. :(

    For anyone who is interested in X-Files style story and enjoys 3rd person shooters I strongly recommend to give "Control" a try. It is made by Remedy who became famous for their "Max Payne" games. Really having a lot of fun with it and I'm usually not the biggest fan of the mystery genre in television. Graphics look gorgeous, the weapon and melee mechanics feel very good and the characters are so far very interesting.

    I've been enjoying the hell out of it. The combat 3rd person combat is extremely fun.

    You could also play it on consoles although I read performance is mediocre on the standard versions of the PS4 and X-Box One.

    I'm playing on a One X. The framerate definitely struggles when the combat gets hectic.

    I hope Codemasters never gets bought by one of the big publishers.

    For me their F1 and Grid Rally series are the only sports games still worth a damn that aren't full of microtransactions and pay2win mechanics.

    Just so much fun with the steering wheel (although I'm being told the gamepad also works fine)!

    Man, there's so many good games out there at the moment. I picked up Resident Evil 2 Remake on sale for 30€. I never played the original on the PS1 since we were a PC & Nintendo family, but I can see why it is so damn popular. This game is a fantastic survival horror experience!

    The Nintendo Switch is on a roll, it might be the best system out there.
    Links Awakening was such a great game. I was hooked and finished the game in three sittings.
    Now Im playing through Astral Chain, and oh man. This might be in the top 5 games of all time. The combat, the music, the gorgeous cell shaded graphics and amazing enviroments. I was surprised the Switch could pull such graphics off at first glance, but then I realised its quite a good piece of hardware.

    From now on Im gonna buy every damn game from Platinum. They have easily become one of my favorite developers.

    Nintendo Switch is without a doubt an essential system to own. Its also become somewhat of an Indie platform. I buy most Indie games on the Switch (for the portability)

    agreed, they did a great job with Links Awakening, my 11 year old is loving it.

    I downloaded it through game pass but have been hooked on the new COD, so all I've done in Outer-Worlds is reach the first town.

    The new COD is such a pretty game. I’ve never liked multiplayer, but I’m hooked and have yet to touch the campaign.

    I am roughly at the same point after an hour and a half. Gameplay unfortunately feels very floaty but the visuals, Audio and story so far seem all quite good. Also contrary to expectations the game is in a very good technical state. Previous Obsidian games suffered from lots of bugs. But the floatiness of the controls really pisses me off.

    Probably the best campaign since Blops 1, just some great level designs with a good flow of action and intrigue. The addition of NVM in multiplayer is so smart and makes it feel like they doubled the number of maps.
