    That Devil Engine thing has a cool trailer! But what's the actual game? A shmup?

    Ah yes it is, here's a trailer with gameplay:

    Funny how everyone simultaneously went "Nothing comes out in February, so let's drop our game in the middle of it." and now it's as packed as October. Whoops.

    The idea of deckbuilder with an overworld seems neat, and the production seems pretty slick, but yeah i've heard mixed things about it

    It sounds like a really great idea but it doesn't have any of the fun of Gwent in it. The majority of fights are just puzzles, and right now there's essentially no flexibility in terms of deck building (I'm sure that improves later on) so I'm putting a crappy, random starter deck against a prefab, non-random puzzle deck. The story is a whole lot of nothing, too. I'm sure it gets better, but right now? Real stinky.

    If you like Gwent, there's not much of it in this game. It's a different game to the one from The Witcher. I've had about one battle that even had multiple rounds.

    Are you in the first area? The game really picked up for me after the first act, the story too

    It does take a while to really get going honestly, and it's a bit too long overall but I liked it

    I’ve just beaten the first area and it definitely feels like it’s picking up. The early game is full of fucking dumb puzzles and I’m finally getting to play some gwent

    Started up the FF14 quest in MHW because I didn't finish it when it was on.
    That Behemoth battle is pretty much 4-player mandatory, huh?

    Yes, it’s possible to solo it, but nobody but a few crazy people attempt it.

    Think of it as a FFXV dungeon boss. A tank (gun)lance and a healer sns are very recommended.

    it really surprises me how history has sorta repeated itself, but in the opposite direction

    two years ago EA sent a Respawn game off to die by putting it out a week apart from other multiplayer shooters, one of which was another EA release

    and now EA has put out another Respawn game a week apart from another EA multiplayer shooter, except this time the Respawn game is a huge success, potentially eating into the chances the other game will do well

    They're both sci-fi shooters, the dropping in Apex even looks like Anthem

    it could end up making no difference, but I'm not sure how it couldn't, especially when general opinion on Anthem currently seems to be...iffy

    I am slowly playing through Hat in Time. First act didnt grab me, but the second one got much more interesting - I especially like the soundtrack and various gimmicks that are added to some levels.

    Might be video card strangeness? I've dropped a bunch of my settings and for the most part it runs okay now, but it still has a few very long load times occasionally, and drops to a glitchy crawl whenever I enter combat (which, given the combat is worlds more difficult than seas, has meant I've burned through three captains already).

    Not liking a game doesn't mean you get to post open spoilers about it.

    I've never played Sea of Thieves

    I just tried playing it by myself, got my ship stuck on a dock, spent 15 full minutes trying to get it unstuck, and then it sank

    I don't think you're supposed to play Sea of Thieves alone

    With Edith Finch, I’m glad I watched an hour long synopsis of it. It’s a gorgeous game but the
    Bathtub scene

    elicited the same reaction. Which is a shame because the last ‘episode’ is very engaging.... well, up to the very end.

    Honestly I was checked out already because of the cheesiness of
    the dude getting hit by the train.
    And looking at Wikipedia of course the end
    reveals she died in childbirth because why wouldn't this game pick the most emotional cheap shot possible. Good Lord

    I decided to replay Assassin's Creed 1. The PC controls are kind of bad because they do not put the exact name of the key or button you are supposed to press on screen during tutorials. Instead they put a symbol for like the leg button and you have to remember what that is assigned to. The game came to PC after the Xbox 360 controller had started to become the standard PC controller for console ports like Lost Planet.

    A lot of what I remember disliking about it now phases me a lot less. The big sore point is still the repetitive pre-assassination jobs, but that kind of got worse in future games as they added more and more menu vomit with most of those being very repetitive activies.

    The combat is extremely easy as in most of the AC games, but the enemies can be killed pretty quickly instead unlike some of the harder enemies in later AC games.

    The story is very episodic, but that means it is also less an all over the place unfocused mess.

    I thought Edith Finch was good in a way that doesn't come across from just reading the Wikipedia page but it's nowhere near the top of my list of narrative driven games.
