Ninja Gaiden 2 - right it's done, never again!

Stopped playing FC4 as I got fed up of the damned if you do, damned if you don't stuff between the two people who give you missions. Took the fun out of it.

This is a fun game playing a horrible amorphous blog that escapes and terrorises the facility. Metroidvania without a map which is weird and I did get a bit lost for a bit. Blob is beautifully animated and the size of said blob affects your abilities so you have to shed size and gain size to do certain abilities. Well worth a look.

Days Gone - when it finally gets going and you've meaningfully leveled up it gets pretty good but bloody hell it takes an age Last of Us 2 - agree with toneeblair but overlong but good. Now want something non torture porn to play so Nina Gaiden 2 on Game Pass which is merely gratuitous violence.

Yeah playing Days Gone and the guy is either really subdued or a fucking maniac.

Interesting, it got mauled critically. How does it compare to the second one?

Found Shadow a slug personally

Gears 5 on PC - better than 4, they took out those bloody forced horde bits and you barely saw those crap weapons they introduced in that one

I picked up a dead head crab in both hands and made it dance.

Don't have the space for sensors so Quest and Link works best for me

Played an hour and it feels so familiar. The gravity gloves take a moment to click but you're soon grabbing stuff from a distance and catching it, reloading the gun works well. Found climbing the ladder a bit weird, standard bag each run but at the end you awkwardly snap off. But then again ladders in the Source engine have always been crap. All in all, I'm impressed.

Was very glad to uninstall CoD and get that ridiculous install size back

Yeah it's the VR one

Half Life Alyx on Monday, just finished a playthrough of Black Mesa, HL2 and Eps 1 & 2.

Fantastic game, good use of VR and controls, the whole zero gravity thing where you grab on to surfaces is really well executed, takes a bit of getting used to but once it works it's very satisfying. Looking forward to the sequel
